FARMERS SHOULD MAKE
THEIR LABOR SNEEDS
KNOWN TO COUNTY AGENT
It is time for farmers to make
their labor needs known to the Co.
Agent office if the plan for mov-
ing labor with wheat havest is to
be made work successfully.
A central state clearing office
for labor has ben set up at Plain-
view. Agpnts from all parts of the
state are to make information as
to labor supplies and needs, avail-
able to that office. Requests for
laborers are to be placed witih the
Plainview office and if a supply
of laborers are available, efforts
will be made to get the needed
workers into the county where
neede. A similar plan is to used
for combines and trucks. Before a
request for labor can be made to
the central office, Ibtonefide requets
must be received in the local caran-
ty office.
How successful this plan works
wil depend upon the cooperation
of farmers making their needs
known far enough in advance of
the time when their needs actually
arise.
If there are combine and trac-
tor operators in Carson County
who would he willing to go out-
side the county to work in harvest
they should contact the local coun-
ty agent. _
CHILD-CARE SERVICE
AVAILABLE
The Office of War Information
reports that approximately 20 mil-
lion dollars for extensive child-
care services will be available du-
ring the fiscal year 1945 to meet
the needs of working women with
children. The Fedearl Works Ag-
ency is now financing the follow-
ing services in connection with
nursery schools or child-care cen-
ters—information centers for par-
ent's, health care, a visiting teach-
er service to work closely with
(parents on needs of children en-
rolled at centers, and some trans-
portation of children between their
homes and the centers. Communi-
ties where women with children
under two years are needd for war
work naw may apply to FWA for
funds to establish group care for
these children.
LOCKER INCREASE
REMARKABLE
Before 1939 there were only two
freezer locker storage plants in
Texas. There now are now 201 in
the state, and an additional 123
new plants under consideration.
These 201 lacker plants are lo-
cated in 120 counties. Dallas coun-
ty leads the state with six, while
Tarrant has five. Lynn, Lamb, Hi-
dalgo and Bexar counties have 4
each. The average plant, has 330
boxes. Total boxes for the state
number 66,381 which serve 65,262
During 1943, approximately 25
million pounds of food, or an av-
erage of 372 pounds per family,
were stored in these boxes.
Tremendous popularity of lock-
er service is evidenced by the 121
new plants under consideration
and by plans of 58 plants for en-
larging tllieir operations. This
should §dd 13,000 boxes to those
already available.
Increase in Texas home freezer
units also was indicated by a sur-
vey, and agents said there are now
2,000 in the state. During the year
these have held nearly a million
pounds of frozen food, or an aver-
age of about 433 pounds per home.
Hidalgo has the most outstand-
ing record in this respect, report-
ing 503 units with a capacity of
fromi 200 to 500 pounds of frozen
food each.
WHEAT LOANS TO
AVERAGE $128
Wheat loans that will average
$1.28 a bushel at the farm wall be
made on the 1944 crop by the Com-
modity Credit Corporation of W-
FA. The average last year was
$1.23. Loans Will vary from the
basic national rate of $1.28 to
flake nto account location, grade
and quality. Loans on farm-stored
and warehouse-stored wheat' will
mature on demand, but not later
than April 30, 1945. An yloan may
be liqudated by payment in full,
plus three per cent interest from
date of note. Loans will be admin-
istered in counties bv County Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Agency
Committees under the supervision
of the stae comlmittees.
Sugar for Home Canning
Sugar consumers may apply for
their 1944 home canning allotment
in two periods, the Office of Price
Administration reports. In each
period, users may obtain up to 10
pounds of sugar per person in ad-
dition to five pounds available
with sugar stamp 40 in War ration
book 4. Persons not applying in
the first period, but who need
sugar in the second period, may
obtain up to their full 20-pounds-
per-person allowance if the appli-
cation justifies that total.
Space, amounting to nearly five
million cargo pounds, was released
in about a year and a half by the
200 million V-Mail letters sent
overseas—enough space to trans-
port 32,876 men overseas, the Ar-
my and Navy report.

A New Mexico Ranchman’s
Reasons for Buying War Bonds
by H. B. Pingrey
Associate Agricultural Economist
New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts
AM investing in War Bonds
A rather than, enlarging my
ranch holdings at the present
time,” remarked a New Mexico
ranchman. “It is not a question,
with me, of whether to invest, but
how much to invest. Each indi-
vidual must determine for himself
the amount to invest, but as for
me, all my ranch earnings, other
than sufficient funds to operate
the ranch next year, will be put
into War Bonds.”
Further questioning as to rea-
sons why this rancher decided in
favor of Bond investment brought
forth these remarks:
“My ranch income has increased
materially during the past several
years with the increased demand
for wool, lambs, and calves for
use as clothing and meat. In spite
of increased costs for labor, feed,
and some supplies, I have had a
larger net income with which to
pay off all debts and leave more
for investment. Ranch lands have
increased in price about one-third
because of speculation. I prefer
not to contribute to inflation in
ranch lands at the present time
by buying additional range. To
enlarge my ranch, at my age,
would necessitate more supervi-
sion and activity for me. My sons
have their education to complete
and perhaps active duty in the
armed forces, and when they have
completed these duties as Ameri-
can citizens I shall be in a posi-
tion, by investing in Bonds now,
to provide them, if they so desire,
the opportunity to engage in live-
stock ranching.
“Ranch improvements other
than those for maximum livestock
production are out of the picture
for me, because of shortage of
materials and labor. Three dol-
lars invested in War Bonds now,
in my opinion, will after the war
build four dollars’ worth of ranch
improvements. I know of no other
means whereby I can increase the
value of a dollar by 33% percent
with any greater security, than
by investing in Bonds today. Fur-
thermore, as the need for govern-
ment expenditure decreases after
the war, I shall, with my War
Bond savings, be in a financial po-
sition to create a demand for ma-
terials and labor.
“I know that at the present
time, the demand for labor, ma-
terials, and civilian goods is great-
er than the supply. Prices are
higher than they were some five or
six years ago. People in general
have more money, because of
fuller employment, and govern-
ment spending of money secured by
borrowing on credit. My banker
tells me that the inability to pro-
duce goods in proportion to the de-
mand, when money is plentiful,
leads to inflation, just the same as
government borrowing from com-
mercial banks adds to the govern-
ment’s spending power and in-
creases the threat of inflation. To
offset this tendency, investment of
current income by individuals and
business in War Bonds tends to
reduce excessive spending power
in the market and frees the gov-
ernment from borrowing from
banks.
“I remember a neighbor friend
of mine during the last war who
expanded his business as prices
rose and times Were good; the de-
pression of the early 20’s con-
tracted his business to nothing as
he was foreclosed on. I don’t
want this to happen to me and I
am willing to cooperate by lend-
ing my government my surplus
funds.
“I came to this country from
Europe as a boy of 16. My feet
have trod many a weary mile
herding sheep over Montana and
New Mexico ranges. I served in
the New Mexico National Guard in
1914 on the Mexican border. Amer-
ica had faith in me by giving me
an opportunity to earn a livelihood
and become an American citizen.
I have sufficient faith in my coun-
try to lend it my surplus earnings
in this, its hour of greatest need.”

MORE CANNING SUGAR
MAY BE SECURED
How to Sow Vegetable Seeds
Knowing the proper depths and
distances for sowing seeds is a
wonderful help in giving a Victory
Garden the right start.
“Too deep planting is worse than
too shallow planting,” warn ex-
perienced men of Ferry-Morse Seed
Co. “In general, depth of planting
should be only about four times the
diameter of the seed. This means
one to two inches for large seeds
such as beans, peas, corn, squash
and pumpkin. Seeds of the size of
beet should be covered about half
an inch. Small seed, such as let-
tuce, carrot and turnip, should be
planted no deeper than a quarter
of an inch.
“Seeds should be planted slightly
deeper in light sandy soils than
in heavier soils of clay texture. If
too near the surface in light soils,
the seeds are likely to wash out
when rains come.”
During these war days when
everything must be conserved, it is
smart to make a packet of seed go
as far as possible. If seeds are sown
too thickly, the experts point out,
many of the young plants will prob-
ably have to be pulled up to give
the rest a fair chance to grow. If
sown too thinly, there may be gaps
in the row, and the yield will be
disappointing. Knowing the proper
distances to plant will help to avoid
either extreme.
Large seeds when planted in rows
should be spaced about three inches
apart in the row. Corn, squash,
and pumpkin when planted in hills
should have six to eight seeds to
the hill, the hills being spaced
three to four feet apart.
It is sometimes difficult to sow
tiny seeds thinly enough. One sim-
ple plan is to mix rmall seeds with
a quantity of dry sand or fine soil.
Then, plant from the hand, letting
seed and sand trail together into
the shallow garden trench which has
previously been made to receive
them.
The main features of the 1944
Canning Sugar Program has been
received in the Local Price & Ra-
tioning Board office.
Sugar Stamp No. 40 in War
Ration Book 4 has been validated
for five pounds of sugar and good
through Feb. 28,1945. For any
sugar over and above this, stamp
application must be made to the
Board on Form R-323 and Spare
j Stamp No. 37 out of Book 4 must
be attached for each# individual
covered by the application. Appli-
cation must' be made for five (5)
pounds of sugar or multiples
thereof up to a maximum allow-
ance of twenty (20) pounds per
person over and above stamp No.
4. This is neeessaryby reason of
the fact that Sugar Allowance
Coupons, Form R-325, are five (5)
pounds. The restriction is with-
drawn on the amount of sugar
that may Ibe used for jams, jellies,
preserves and fruit butters. More
OLD BOOKS, MAGAZINES
during the year for home canning
sugar, brat the issuance cannot ex-
ceed twenty (20) pounds per per-
son. In this connection the supply
of sugar is quite short and it is
' imperative that the amount issued
for home canning purposes he
sharply reduced from tha± issued
'last year. As a result of this,
Washington has suggested that
the first issuance of home canning
•sugar not exceed ten pounds per
person and then specific evidence
presented for the needs of any
future allowance.
The Local Board will receive
applications either by mail or in
person, Monday through Saturday.
When this war is ended, and
victory has beenaehieved, Ameri-
cans will discover one of the im-
portant factors that helped defeat
the foe is the American railroads.
The job of transporting war ma-
terials and troops under wartime'
conditions has been am immense
task, but the railroad lines of the
preserves auu xiuik ~ nation have arisen to the occasion
than one application may be made | despite handicaps of every sort.

Millions of old books and maga-
zines lying unused in American
homes, libraries and offices are
urgently needed now1 as raw ma-
terial for thousands of essential
items of war, it was announced to-
day by Herbert M. Faust, director
of the Salvage Division of the
War Production Board.
“Waste paper is the nation’s
most critical war material,” Mr.
Faust said. “It is as important as
powder since more than 700,000
military items are either made of
waste paper products or are paper
wrapped for shipment overseas.
“The increasingly critical and
would he relieved immeasurably if
we threw into the fight all of the
useless old hooks and magazines,
of no interest to servicemen, now
gathering dust on our bookshelves
or lying untouched in our attics,
closets and cellars.”
Mr. Faust said since the average
hook wieghs abont a pound, >ue
unused 'book will make two con-
tainers for life-saving plasma, six
cartons for the U. S. Army emer-
gency “K” rations, ten paper-
hoard boxes for 50 cal. bullets,
thirty containers for lifeboat in-
flation cartridges or scores of oth-
er military items that may mean
the difference between life and
death for oud own boys.
Waste paper collections are now
25% below! essential military and
civilian requirements, Mr. Faust
said, causing curtailed production
of vital war supplies.
