Teacher Shortage
Becoming Acute
LUBBOCK—A program to relieve
the teacher shortage has been in-
augurated by the Department of
Education and Psychology at Texas
Technological College.
School superintendents of the
state 'are being asked for lists and
last known addresses of former
teachers, and students who might
secure degrees in the accelerated
education program in time to aid
next fall are being interviewed.
Former teachers who may have
retired to keep house or for other
reasons will be urged to return to
the classroom for the duration.
Eimphasis on qualifying men and
women for teaching will be placed
on courses at Texas Tech during the
spring and summer semesters in the
hope schools may have adequate in-
structors next fall, Dr. R. E. Garlin,
head of the department, has an-
nounced. A bulletin showing how
persons may qualify has been issued
by the college.
“Not since the World War has
such "an acute shortage existed,” it
states. “Society cannot afford to
permit its schools to stand idle dur-
ing the war emergency.”

Suggestions Given
For Saving Gas
The following rules have been
workged out by experts on how to
save gas and at the same time reg-
uplate heat for comfort in the
homes:
1. Avoid over-heating. Don’t let
temperature get above 72 degrees.
2. Keep all heating equipment in
good operating condition; keep it
clejan and free from all dust par-
ticles.
3. Flame on radiant type room
heaters should not be allowed to
lick out top of radiants.
4. If you have a gas heater in your
fireplace seal the flue to the ex-
tent that the room heat will not go
up the chimney, yet leave suffi-
cient space for venting heater.
5. For the health of your family,
maintain an even heat not more 72
degrees throughout that part of
the house which is used for winter
living.
6. Do not put metal covers on
radiators. They absorb' heat radia-
tion and stop warm air circulation.
Radiators should be painted with a
thin coat of flat oil paint, not me-
tallic paints.
7. See that windows and doors
lock tightly; if possible, they should
be weather-stripped.
8. Construction of walls and floors
in most houses allows entrance of
Agricultural Leaders
Plan Farm Production
College Station. — Agricultural
leaders from all over Texas were
scheduled to meet in College Sta-
tion December 22 to study plans
for the 1943 farm production goal
sign-up.
Following the state meeting, sub-
district meetings will be held at
various points in the state to ac-
quaint county USD A war board
members with details of the 1943
production program. County war
boards; and county and community
AAA committeemen will conduct
the sign-up campaign in January,
contacting every farmer in the
state.
The farm plan work sheet which
will be filled out for every farm
will show the number of war units
of farm production .each is pro-
ducing. It also will show prospec-
tive or immediate needs for fenc-
ing, machinery, fertilizer and credit
for the farm.
At the same time, the interview-
ers will take a farm man-power
inventory of each farm. This in-
ventory will disclose labor needs on
the farm or any excess of labor
supply. Information obtained on
manpower will be used by the war
board in helping solve labor short-
ages and in informing Selective
Service boards concerning defer-
some fresh air. So window open- ment of essential farm workers.

ings should be no wider than nec-
essary for an ample flow of fresh
air; otherwise, they become heat
wasters. When unvented equip-
ment is used, a small opening at
the top of the window is recom-
mended to help reduce “wall sweat-
ing.”
9. At night when windows are
open in bedrooms, shut off rest of
house to prevent temperature from
dropping so low that more fuel will
be needed to build uu warmth dur-
ing the morning hours.
10. Gas is conserved by insulating
your house.. This reduces consump-
tion of heating gas 20 to 25 per
cent in one-story houses and fifteen
to twenty per cent in two-story
houses of standard type construc-
tion. Insulation materials are plen-
tiful and they are cheaper than
ever before.

The work sheet sign-up and the
farm sign-up must be completed by
February 1, B. F. Vance, Texas
USDA_ War Board chairman, said.

Crop Payment For
Farmers Announced
Rates of payment to farmers co-
operating with the C0|p production
adjustment phase of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Agency’s 1943
program were announced Saturday
by Secretary of Agriculture CUaude
R. Wickard.
Farmers will be able to earn the
production adjustment payments at
the rates indicated by complying
with their AAA acreage allocations
for corn, wheat, cotton, rice, tobac-
co and peanuts, at the same time
meeting individual farm production
goals for special war crops. Follow-
ing out the department’s policy of
full production of vail crops needed
in the war, separate deductions will
be made from each farm’s total
crop payments in 1043 for failure to
plant at lest 90 per cent of the
acreage allotment and 90 per cent
of a special wfar cron goal.
This provision, Wickard explain-
ed, is intended to encourage farm-
ers to make full use of their avail-
able land. In many instances,
farmers will be encouraged to sub-
stitute special war crops for allot-
ment crops, especially for wheat
and cotton. After farmers first
meet their 90 per cent special war
crop acreage requirements, they
may take any special war crop acre-
age above this figure and substitute
it acre for acre for allotment crops
in meeting the latter 90 per cent
planting.
In addition to the crop produc-
tion adjustment practice payment,
farmers also will be able to earn
a production practice or conserva-
tion payment by crarying out speci-
fied agricultural practices which
improve soil, help prevent erosion
and increase yields of needed war
crops. Such payment rates are to
be announced by the state AAA
committee.
Payment dates for 1943, based on
normal yield of allotted acreages,
together with 1942 rates, for the
only two commodities applicable to
the local community, are:
Cotton, per pound, 1943 payment
rate. 1.1c, a reduction of .lc from
1942; wheat, per bushel, 9.9c, a re-
duction of .7c from 1942.
With elimination of parity pay-
ments and reductions in soil con-
servation payments, farmers’ 1943
govenment checks will be smaller
than 1942 checks, and the 1942
checks were smaller than in any
year since the tide of government
cheeks began flowing in 1933.
Regimentation of farmers has
been profitable for the farmers in
most instances, but with higher
prices brought about by the war,
a lot of farmers are beginning to
