TREE-PLANTING IS URGED
TO PROVIDE SHELTER POR
OUR INSECT-EATING BIRDS
Are you one of those persons
who minimizes the importance of
trees and birds in the wartime
program1? Would you set them a-
side for the duration, that we
might the 'better fight the enemy?
Read the following Government
reports, for a different viewpoint:
‘ < If all birds were exterminated
today, there \vould not be a man,
woman or child alive in three
years. Many birds eat their
weight in insects daily. A pair of
birds and their young have been
found to consume from 300 to
10,000 insects in a single day. In
the stomach of a single flicker,
Government experts found 5,000
ants. Martins and swallows have
been known to consume on an av-
erage of 3,000 mosquitoes in a day.
It is claimed that one family of
jays will eat 1,000,000 caterpillars
in a single season.
Sparrows (genei*ally known as
pests), 'are credited with saving
the farmers of this country more
than $100,000,000 annually by
their destruction of insects and
weed seeds. It is estimated that in
Massachusetts alone, birds destroy
from May until Septenibei’ 21,000
bushels of insects daily, and in
New York 3,000,000 bushels annu-
ally. This enormous consumption
of insects and weed seeds is made
possible because of the rapid di-
gestion of birds in from 20 to 90
minutes.”
Back of the birds, there are the
trees, “No trees—no birds’” is a
goddl slogan for us to remember.
Treeless lands mean more troubles
to those who would have farms,
yards and lawns. Fewer trees,
fewer birds 'mean more abandon-
ed farms, and subsequently more
people to be taken care of by the
taxpayer.
Birds save the 'farmer millions
of dollars annually; trees are keys
to prosperity; reforestation is a
boon to the farmer. The Govern-
ment is extensively engaged in re-
forestation programs, but this is a
job in which all of us can have a
part. If you have idle land, land
now given over to erosion, Avhy
not try planting it in tree seed-
lings)'? Now is the time before the
soil becomes- further damaged.
Fruit and nut trees will prove a
blessing; not only will these help
feed your family, (but they may
help feed a worthy nation. Such a
project would be a patriotic ges-
ture today, and! it will yield an in-
come on your property and in-
crease its value. We have helped
to destroy land and timber; why
not do something to help bring it
back again?
The cry of all loyal, patriotic
citizens everywhere in these peril-
ous times of war is: “What can I
do?” We can all do our bit at
home or on the farm by joining
those who are engaged in refores-
tation. Billions df trees should bo
planted throughout the United
States this year, even now while
the season of planting for this
year is still with us. These trees
will provide shade, moisture, tim-
ber and fuel, therebv helping to
chefk soil erosion; and further,
they will supply homes for insect-
eating birds.
NOTICE TO BIDDERS

Austin, Feb.—18. A good fire
record credit of 25 per cent will
apply to 'fire insurance premiums
on policies written in White Deer
for 12-months beginning March 1,
it was announced today by Marvin
Hall, State Fire Insurance Com-
missioner. This will result in a di-
rect saving on fire insurance as
25 per cent of the normal premium
will be deducted on policies writ-
ten after the effective date.
The 25 per cent credit will re-
sult in an estimated saving of
$1,168 on fire insurance costs for
White Deer policyholders during
the next year. The estimate is bas-
ed on fire insurance premium pay-
ments in 1942. A 25 per cent cred-
it has been .in effect for the past
year.
The fire record for a city or
town is determined by a fixed rat-
io between losses and premiums
figured on a five-year average.
The maximum good fire record
credit is 25 per cent. The maxi-
mum charge (or penalty) for hea-
vy losses is 15 per cent.
Hall explained that the fire rec-
ord credit is not to be confused
with the key rate for a city or
town. The key rate, he pointed
out, is determined among other
things, by the type and quality of
fire fighting equipment and water
facilities, as well as the adoption
of fire prevention measures.
“Texas is the only state,” the
Commissioner added, “which has
a system for directly rewarding
communities for the prevention of
fires. When fire losses are kept
low during the five-year period,
the credits earned mean a direct
saving to the individual citizen.
Continued low fire losses through-
out the state will result in lower
premium rates, thus making fire
prevention a profitable pi*actice.
“Because fires have been pre-
vented during recent years, thus
reducing losses in many classes of
insurance risks, the i*esult has
been a decrease in rates. A notable
example is in dwelling risks. Re-
ductions in insurance rates since
1936 approximate an annual savT
ing of ten million dollars to Texas
policyholders.”

RATIONING OF CANNED
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
BEGINS MARCH 1ST
Rationing of canned, dried and
frozen friuts and vegetables will
begin March 1, and retail sales of
more than 200 items to be rationed
wtill be “frozen” on Feb. 20. Be-
ginning Mond'ay, Feb. 22, house-
wives will register for War Ration
Book No. 2, which will allow a
total of 48 “points” for each
member of the family for the
month of March. Stamps will have
have a value of 8, 5, 2, and 1. If
a family has more than 5 cans per
person on hand, stamps will be
removed from the book in propor-
tion to their excess holdings1. Of-
ficial point values will be made
public as soon as stocks are “fro-
zen.” Registration probably will
be held in the local school houses
and one member may register for
the whole family.
Some foods need not be counted
They include canned olives, can-
ned meat and fish, pickles, relish,
jellies, jams, preserves, spaghetti,
macoroni, noodles and all home-
canned foods.
Carl C'orbin was a visitor in the
home of his sistei’, Mrs. S. C.
Heath.
CANNED FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES NOT TO BE
SOLD BETWEEN FEDB. 20
AND MARCH 1
The Baptist W. M. U. had their
meeting at the Sunbeam Hall
Monday with 8 present and 2
visitors. Mrs. Snyder gave a re-
view of the year book. Next Mon-
day the W. M. U. will meet at the
home of Mrs. Snyder for a George
Washington program. She will re-
view the book, “If Two Agree.”
You are welcome to be there at
the home of Mrs. Snyder at 2:30
,p. m. Come and bring as many
friends as you can.

WHITE DEER GRADE SCHOOL
4-H CLUB ORGANIZED
SOLDIERS FAMILY
ALLOWANCE
If a soldier’s family is not get-
ting their allowance under the
Servicemen’s Dependents Allow-
ance Act, it may be because the
soldier failed to file a formal ap-
plication for it. Many soldiers
decared their intention to file an
application last summer—before
application blanks were available
—but have not filed the actual ap-
plication. The official War Dept.
A. G. O. Form No. 625 must be
made out by- the soldier and filed
with his organization eomimand'er.
“YOU And THE WAR’’
After midnight, Feb. 20, until
March 1, when rationing^ starts,
there will be no canned fruits or
vegetables sold.
Frozen fruits and vegetables,
dried fruits (not dried vegetables)
and canned soups and canned ba-
by foods also are included, issued
Tuesday by the Office of Price
Administration.
With the armed forces and lend-
lease taking, in some catagories,
half of the canned goods put up,
the government has ordered ra-
tioning to assure everyone a fair
share.
Fresh fruit and vegetables will
not be rationed, and one of the
goals of the program will be to
compel people to do more real
cooking and less can opening.
Home canning also will be en-
couraged because such goods will
not be counted against ration
coupons.
Rationing will be by points, 48
points per person in the month of
March:, regardless of age or occu-
pation. Because there still will be
so many rationed foods—especial-
ly fresh fruits and vegetables—
there will be no distinction, as
there is in Europe, between per-
sons who do light "work and heavy
work. Since canned baby foods are
also on the list, babies will get the
same ration points as their elders.
Ill persons requiring special diets
will be able to get them on medi-
cal certificates.
ONLY NEWSPAPERS
MAY MAIL COPIES
TO MEN OVERSEAS
Owing to the increasing weight
of mail destined to boys overseas,
both packages and newspapers, an
order has been issued, biy the (W&r
Department that henceforth pack-
ages Aveighing more than 5 pounds
cannot be mailed overseas.
At the same time it was ordered
that newspapers could be sent to
men in serivee overseas only by
the publisher of newspapers.
Parents and relatives of boys
who have been regularly sending
the home town papers, or have
been gathering up several papers,
wrapping them in a bundle and
sending them can no longer do so.
Actually the sending of papers
to men overseas when mailed by
the publisher costs less than the
postage required in sending the
paper which you have first read
and then decided to send on. The
new ordter is now in effect.
1. All canned fruits, vegetables
and soups; all 'frozen fruits and
vegetables in containers under 10
pounds; all fruit juices in bottles
or cans of one gallon or less; and
all dried fruits will be rationed.
2. Retail sales of the foods to
be rationed will be suspended as
of midnight Sat., Feb. 20.
3. Registration for War Ration
Book Two will be conducted dur-
ing the six days beginning Mon.r
Feb. 22.
4. Any adult member of the
family may make the application
and receive the books for the en-
tire family
5. War Ration Book 1 of each
member of the family must be
presented at the registration.
6. Each applicant must file a
declaration of goods on hand as
of Feb. 21. The consumer declara-
tion sheet simply aske for the a-
mount of coffee on hand Nov. 28—
when coffee rationing started—
and of canned goods on hand as
of Feb. 21.
7. OPA is not requiring the use
of official copies of the consumer
declaration sheets and local boards
are being instructed to accept any
reproductions of the sheet that
may appear in newspapers. Copies
of the sheet are being made avail-
able to every newspaper in the
United States for reproduction
and release Feb. 15 and after.
Supplies of official sheets will be
on hand at all registration points

HOME FRUIT ORCHARD
SHOULD BE PLANNED NOW
Forecasts say the supply of
fresh fruits and vegetables in 1943
will depend on how near we are to
areas that grow these foods. It
would be wise to grow as much at
home and now is a good time t(
make plans for planting.
For tlhe back yard planting foi
families in town, Extension Ser-
vice of A. & M. College recom-
mends: 2 grapes—Extra, Carmen ;
1 English Morrello cherry; 2 cher-
ry-plums—Opata, Sapa; 1 Halt

them by mail, now instead of ap-
pearing personally before local
Avar price and rationing boards.
Same rule will apply to non-high-
way uses of gasoline, such as that
for farm machinery and industrial
equipment.
The four best tomatoes for this
area according-to test made from
the Woodward ^experiment station
have been found to be the Bison,
Danmark, Porter and Rosana. The
Porter is especially good for hot,
dry Aveather and produces many
small friuts especially desirable
for making tomato juice. These
seeds should be planted in flats
about six to eight weeks before
the plants are to be set in the
open. After the plants are up Avell,
they may be transplanted from
the hot bed to the frame garden
where they should ramain two to
(three weeks before setting out in
the open garden.
Other varieties of vegetables
suitable for the high plains area
may be obtained from the county
home demonstration office.
