The increased use of horses on highways and hard surfaced roads, due to tire and gas restrictions, has created a greater demand among farmers for more horseshoes and horseshoe nails. this demand requires Normally 17,500 tons of steel annually. Even the way you do your washing may count to American during e If you do It In such a way that it saves metal, rubber, clothes, and soap says the local home demonstration agent for the Utah. Extension Service. If you own a washing machine, give it the proper care to make It last throughout the war, because you cannot buy a new one, Is the first bit of advice from the demonstration agent. Other suggestions for saving the washing machine and helping out the cause are: keep all moving parts properly oiled, and keep all bolts and screws tight; dont spill oil on any rubber parts; keep the drains of the washing machines free from lint, and surface clean and dry; handle tubs, boards, boilers, wringer, clothpins and line carefully to make them last. war-tim- Hard water may be the reason young, tender peas put up this spring become tough, according to Miss Elna Miller, nutritionist for the Agricultural Extension Service. To remedy the trouble, boil hard water and strain through several thicknesses of muslin, or boil and let stand until the mineral hardness settles to the bottom, and then pour off the clean water for canning. This hardness In water oalcium salts has advantages in some canning, helping soft foods like totatoes and some varieties of peaches to hold their shape.

These plants, which are becoming very prevalent in the valley, spread from the root at well as from seed, making It important that farmers do everything possible to prevent them from seeding, or refrain from plowing or cultivating through these patches to spread the roots.

FARMERS ADVISED TO WAR WHEAT SURPLUS AFFECTS MARKETING OF 42 GRAIN CROP Dried Peas May Be Marketed Under AAA Canning peas which were not harvested In time for processing may be allowed to ripen and be sold as dry peas under a price guarantee of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Alphonzo chairman of the Christensen, Cache county USDA war board, told growers today. Dried peas come under the Secretary of Agricultures list of commodities for which an expansion is desired and for which price guarantees have been made. This price guarantee assures growers of at least 85 percent of the comparable price as of the beginning of the marketing year (August 1, 1942) but in no event less than $5.25 per hundred pounds of U.S. No. 1 and not less than $5 for U. S. No. 2 peas in bags FOB cars at country shipping points. These prices will cover the following varieties of peas; Alaska, Bluebell, First and Best, White Perfection, Alderman, Canada, Surprise and Thomas Laxton. Mr. Christensen explained that because of weather conditions and labor shortages it has been impossible In some sections for growers to harvest their canning peas when they were ready. Some of these growers have taken this as a total loss of their crops. Others have plowed the peas under for green manure and still make a fair profit, he said. He cautioned farmers against confusing this price guarantee on dried peas with the price guarantee for canning varieties. The Nation needs these dried peas and farmers will be aiding the war effort by alowing the canning varieties to ripen if they were not able to move them to the canners In time, Mr. Christensen said. War and a surplus of wheat will seriously affect the marketing of the 1942 grain crop and Cache county farmers may be faced with the necessity of complying with the permit system In shipping to terminals. is being Already this system used in Kansas City, Minneapolis and other large wheat centers, chairman Christensen, Alphonzo of the county AAA committee said. Committees comprised of farmers, warehousemen, truckers, processors, and railroad officials have been set up In nearly all terminal markets. Under this larger group a smaller committee has been named to handle shipping permits. Under the permit system only the amount of grain which can be unloaded at a terminal in one day will be allowed to be loaded for that ter- minal For Instance, at Ogden, using all facilities, 200 cars of wheat can be unloaded In a day. Under the permit system then only 200 cars will be loaded for Ogden in a day. In the past as many as 7 and 8 hundred cars have been backed up on the tracks in the Ogden yards waiting to be unloaded. This year, with the shortage of cars and urgent need for all available shipping space to move wax materials, railroads will not be allowed cars to stand Idly on the tracks waiting to be unloaded, Mr. Christensen said. With the permit system in operation, a farmer may not be able to unload his truck as soon as he wants to. Before he goes to the elevator it might be wise to find out If he can unload. This condition only emphasizes the need for more farm storage. Where wheat can be stored on the of harvest far, the congestion shipping is reduced to a minimum and the grain can move onto the market In a more orderly manner.

This indicates that borrowers are working on liquidations. This total for the year of more than $60,000 means an average of about $200 per day for every working day of the year has been paid to the local office. We have about $300,000 outstanding to 326 borrowers, Mr. of this Welch said. With one-fifamount coming in during one year, it Indicates that our borrowers are paying out on schedule all since practically money Is loaned on a five year basis. All of this money has been spent for something to increase a farmers income and to help bring about his rehabilitation. In order to give men a new start, the Farm Security takes credit risks that banks will not accept. We feel that this repayment record Is evidence that most men will pay If they have something to pay with and Is further proof of the success the rehabilitation Idea is meeting with, Mr. Welch said. th Great joy, Hens on the nations farms laid In June, a record Morita Fisher and husband, of high production for the month Wyoming, Sunday. 16 percent above June last year Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
