Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER, RANDOLPH, UTAH A' Banners for g Will Honor Farmers in Record-Breakin- Crops 112 Counties of Nation s Food Processors, Too Will Be Awarded Victory depends as much on our ability to produce food as on our ability Achievement As to manufacture guns, planes and ships." Franklin D. Roosevelt. Americas leading food producing counties will be awarded A banners by the army for their exceptional contribution to the years food program, the War Food administration has announced. Presentation of the citations for outstanding effort will be made during Thanksgiving week, with similar awards being given to food processing plants which made good records. Designed by the armys heraldic division, the A banner compares E pennants with the army-nav- y awarded industrial plants. It will carry a blue A surrounded by a wreath composed of a head of wheat and half a gear wheel, all on a green field. Nominations for the county farming awards will be made by state war boards of the U. S. department of agriculture, and regional directors of the Food Distribution administration will suggest deserving processing plants. The final 112 winners will be chosen by the War Food administration from these nominations. Allocations of the banners among the 48 states will be made on the basis of the relative farm population of each state. Some states will receive several county awards, due to the large number of farmers within their boundaries. Factors which will be considered in the selection of the most productive counties, according to WFA, include: (1) extent by which 1943 goals were exceeded, (2) extent of the ishifts made in order to produce war crops not previously grown in the county, (3) ingenuity shown in meeting production problems such as labor shortages, (4) record made in increasing yields per acre and per man, and in utilizing potential latent land and labor resources, and (5) extent of with other war programs. Presentation of the A flags, which are to be flown from the courthouse of each winning county, will be made by a representative of the army at special ceremonies PRODUCE to be arranged by the winning counties. A representative chosen by the farmers will receive the produc- tion award. those Seasonal food processors little canning factories, those packers of dried fruit, makers of jelly and so forth, who operate only while the fruit and vegetables are coming in are also eligible for a special award. For outstanding initiative in overcoming the obstacles in the way of producing processed food, or for increasing their output notably, seasonal processing plants will be awarded the Achievement A banner similar to that given to counties for farm production, but with a d white star in the upper left-han- comer. These little plants have joined enthusiastically in the nations "Food for Freedom program. The fact d that they are not operators makes them ineligible for the army-nav- y E award. Standards Are High. . The same rigidly high standards must be met for both the "A and year-roun- the E awards. In awarding the "A, the War Food administration will consider, first of all, quantity and quality of production in the light of available facilities. Other major factors bearing on their decision will be: with 1. Ingenuity and the government in developing and producing war food products. in carrying out 2. the purposes of the various food purchase programs. 3. Effective management; ability to overcome production obstacles; relasatisfactory management-labo- r tions, including the avoidance of work stoppages. 4. Training additional labor forces, low absentee records. ' 5. Accident prevention; health and sanitation. ; ; , ACHIEVEMENT A AWARD Soldier Knew Not What He Was Dickering For We have heard a bit about the freedom with which American soldiers in India spend their money.

The ceremonies will be simple but impressive. In appreciation of the essential role being played by seasonal processors in the "Food for Freedom program, the army and navy will cooperate with WFA in making the presentations.

Substitute when the items wanted are on the scarce list, even if it means g changing eating habits. Another way to conserve is to buy and store vegetables that will keep well. This is particularly important in the case of white potatoes this year. The crop has been exceptionally large. Including both early and late potatoes, it is estimated that it will total more than 460 million bushels. Of this, 360 million bushels are late potatoes and are now being harvested. The late potato crop is 73 million bushels larger than the late crop of 1942, and the overall 1943 crop is 33 million bushels larger than the previous record crop of J928, which totaled 427 million bushels. So it is plain that the farmers- response to the governments plea for increased production has been splendid. It is a great national asset to have this record crpp of potatoes. It also presents problems of distribution which, if not efficiently handled, may result in the waste of, or the diversion from human consumption of a life-lon- extreme caution in making the award. The procedure for plant nomination, however, is simple. Any employee of the Food Distribution administration in Washington or in the field may propose a plant for consideration. Likewise, the nomination may be made by one of FDAs regional directors, or through the Washington branches of the WFA. An Awards board will consider every nomination and recommend final action to the director of food distribution. Because of the short period of time many operators are in production, prompt attention will be given to every nomination. The Consumers Part. Much as the breasts of farmers or factory workers will swell with pride when they see that "A banner fluttering in the autumn breeze, they know it is but a symbol of the mighty effort that every American is making to win the war. Not only producers of food, but consumers too, have their part to play. Americas mighty home front forces are mobilizing during November in a nationwide campaign to help food fight for freedom. Ranking in importance with bonds, machinery, rubber, guns, tanks, ships and planes, food is a weapon of war that every civilian can turn against the enemy. Rallying cry of the food army is the slogan: "Produce, Conserve, Share and Play Square! Citizens groups in every community will advise the public of the meaning of these words, and of how each person can contribute to making the whole nation "food conscious. Four government agencies, the War Food administration, OPA, to OWI and OCD, are tell the food story. Briefly they explain each part of the program: Produce and Conserve. American farmers have done a remarkable job this year in again breaking food production records, and they plan to continue the good work in 1944 with the planting of 380 million acres. Helping them plant and harvest is something other civilians can do on the production line. Home gardens also aid in making more food, as does work in processing plants during the rush season. Farmers themselves can help prevent waste of food before it goes to market, along with transportation companies and other handlers. The homemakers job is to save food in the kitchen, and to can and preserve as much as possible. Everyone can try to eat the right foods, those that are nutritious and plentiful, so as to SHARE - PLAY SQUARE That Hang On The schools which did not benefit Creomulsion relieves promptly because it goes right to the seat of the trouble to help loosen and expel germ laden phlegm, and aid nature to soothe and heal raw, tender, inflamed bronchial mucous membranes.

Although the War Food administration, during the past summer, set aside 15 million dollars for the erection of additional storage for Irish potatoes and sweet potatoes, the 1943 crop will exceed by more than 50 million bushels, available approved farm and commercial storage. Every consumer who has space in his cellar or other suitable place is urged to buy and store as many potatoes as he conveniently can, so that none of this supply of food will go to waste. Other vegetables, like onions and turnips that keep well, should also be put away in storage places. Apples and any other fruits that can be kept over the winter should also be stored. Share Fairly. All Americans share the food with the men in uniform in camps at home and on foreign battlefields, with the peoples of the other United Nations helping to win the war, and with the countries liberated from Axis oppression. Farmers help each other to grow as much as they can by sharing seed, machinery, fertilizer and manpower in order to make "short supplies go farther. Cheerful, willing acceptance of rationing rules results in fair shares for all, and plenty of food for fitness and health.
