FARM INFLATIONARY
| POINT TO DISASTER
I Elements that might contribute
j to inflation continue to be seen at
the end of the sceond quarter of
tlhis year as compared to the end
of the same period last year, ac-
cording to data made available by
the Bureau of Agricultural Eco-
nomies. Demand deposits in coun-
try banks, consisting largely of
/checking accounts, were up 28 per
cent—an increase partly account-
ed for by large deposits of Gov-
ernment funds.
These checking accounts would
be inflationary if used to bid up
the price of land and scarce goods.
Another inflationary sign is that
average per aici’e value of farm
realestate as of July 1 was up 15
per cent over a year ago. For the
quarter, cash receipts from farm
marketings were up six per cent
over a year ago and prices paid
by farmers for the things they buy
—including interest and taxes—
were up five per cent.

The Texan’s Share in the War
Sgt. Henry Krolczyk, who is a
typical Texan despite his Polish
name, crawled through a hail oi
machine gun bullets in Normandy
and finally reached a thick hedge-
row. Rising carefully, he peeked
through a hole in the hedge . . ancl
found himself eye-to-eye with a
big Nazi soldier, who was peering
through from the other side, less
than two feet away.
“Hank” yelled at the man, de-
manding that he surrender. Just
at that time, however, several
other Germans started lobbing
handgrenades at the Texan.
“Hank” tossed a few himself,
killng four Nazis and. routing the
others. During the serap, the ene-
my in the hedgerow took to his
heels. He didn’t get far, however,
before the East Bernard, Texas,
trooper dropped his with a single
rifle bullet.
During the same battle, S-sgt.
Homer Molina of Laredo dived in-
to a shell hole right on top of four
of the Huns. When he came out, he
was marching the Germans before
him as prisoners.
When his buddies congratulated
him on the feat, the Texan grin-
ned. “There weren’t but four of
them,” he insisted. “Four Nazis
to one Texan—that’s about the
right odds! ’ ’
Texas parents of men fighting in
France may soon hear their sons
voices on Texas radio stations.
Arrangements have 'been made to
have several Texas fighting men
speak to the “home-folks” direct
'from the fighting fronts. Their
voices will be sent by short-wave
radio to the United States, record-
ed here, and presented on a state-
wide radio hookup to be staged by
the War Chest about the 28th of
this month. .
The United War Chest is the
Texas agency of the National War
Fund, which raises funds for USO,
War Prisoners Aid and 17 other
war-related relief agencies.

On Jan. 1, 1944, t here was a
record nuun|ber of 82 million head
cattle in the United States. The
pig crop for 1944 is estimated at
88 million head.
These large numbers of livestock
together with only an 8 to 10 per
cent lower number of poultry on
farms, indicate an impending shor-
tage of feed for the coming year
beginning Sept. 1944. The pig crop
is approxiateljr 25 per cent under
the record 122 millon head in 19^3.
Chickens reaised in 1944 are JO
(per cent below the 1943 produc-
tion, and the number of laying
hens on farms, Jan. 1, 1945, will
be only about 10 per cent under
the number, Jan. 1, 1944.
In view of the probable shortage
iof feeds, and especially protein
feeds, the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics estimates that it will
be necessary to reduce the number
of cattle in the nation to approxi-
mately 79 (million head by Jan. 1,
1945. To do this means that the
pajcking ndustry will have to pro-
cess approximately 24 million head
o|f cattle and. calves in 1944. This
is 7 million head more than they
processed in 1943. In the first half
of 1944, 9 million 336 thousand
head, of cattle or 32 per cent
more were processed than in the
first half of 1943.
According to a statement by the
American Meat Institute, they will
have to process approximately 15
million head of cattle and calves
in the last half of 1944 in order to
bring the cattle numbers down to
the 1943 number of 79 million
head. With the shortage of labor,
storage facilities, and shortage of
transportation, the mieat-paciking
industry will ihle hard-put to get
the job done. It means that farm-
ers are going to have to market
their cattle in an orderly manner
without causing a rush of cattle to
market, thereby glutting the mar-
ket and overcrowding the facilities
for handling the cattle in the mar-
ket (places. In order to reach this
goal there will ‘have to be an aver-
age slaughter for the last half of
approximately 575 thousand head,
weekly. The largest volume for
the peak last year was 475 thous-
and head.
Cattlemen can help this stuation
to some extent by marketing cat-
tle at different periods during the
remainder of tih’e year, rather than
(putting them all on the market at
one time.
War Food Order No. 106 re-
quires that all turkey sold after
July 17 be offered to authorized
Folks who are working in fields
and barns these hot days need to
guard against heat cramps, heat
prostration and sunstrike.
Generally qpeaking, susceptibil-
ity to any of these is increased by
loss of salt through perspiration.
In particular sunstrike is due to
fever brought on by working in a
hot sun or in a humid heat. To de-
fend yourself against these heat
sicknesses you might try salt tab-
lets when you drink water. During
a full day’s work your body may
lose about two full teaspoons of
isa.lt. Loose, thin clothing, suffici-
ent sleep, and an adequate diet of
light foods also are recommended
'bv safety authorities.
~ In the case of heat cramps, al-
ways remove the victim to a cot
in a room with good circulation.
He may need to be kept warm
with blanket and hot water bottles.
In no case should the victinl re-
turn to work the same day.
First aid for beat prostration is
touch the same. In addition to cov-
ering the patient with a blanket,
it’s usualy necessary to rub his
arms and legs toward the heart to
stimulate coreulation. If the vic-
tim is able to swallow, give him
cool drinks of salt solution, but
nothing very cold. Return to work
must he delayed for a week or ten
days. .
Perhaps the most serious is sun-
stroke, for many fatalities occur
from this type of heat sickness.
Futhermore, a victim of it maj re-
main sensative to heat exposure
for several years. The patient
should Ibe laid on his back with his
head raised. Ice packs and cold or
wet cloths should be placed on his
head and bis body should be spon-
ged to lower the body temperature.
The best idea, though, is to take
Ipercautions against heat exhaus-
tion.

“GO TO SCHOOL” IS
PLEA OF SEVERAL
FEDERAL AGENCIES
Because of a war-caused shrink-
age in the nation’s high school
population until it- is now hack to
the levels of 1934, a national “Go-
to-School Drive” is being spon-
sored by the Children’s Bureau of
the Department of Labor and the
Office of Education of the (Federal
Security Agency, in cooperation
with the Office of War Informa-
tion and with the endorsemnt of
the War .Manpower Commission.
Three million young people of
high school age now, are workng
full or part time in this country.
Jobs have been the big reason the
young' people have not gone on to
high school. The lure of big money
has been a factor. Other factors—
dfesire to help the Nation, to help
an employer, and to help the fam-
ily—all play a prominent part in
keeping young people out of the
schools.

Railroad Carloadings
The Santa Fe carloadings for
the week ending Aug. 5 were 28-,
168 compared with 21,521 for the
satoe week last year. Cars received
from connections totaled 14,293
soirtpared with 12,180 for the same
week in 1943. Total cars moved
were 42,461 comaored with 33,701
for the same week in 1943. Santa
both live and dressed birds. The
purpose of this order is to procure
and adaquate supply of the early
marketings to insure turkey diu-
j ners for all members of our armed
forces at borne and abroad for
Thanksgiving, Christmas and New
Year’s.
Since many of the shipments
must travel long distances, it is
hoped that the bulk of the require
ments can be obtained at an early
date. We-urge that you cooperate
by marketing all well-finished
birds -as early as possible.
