CHRISTMAS MAILING MONTH
DATES SEPT. 15 TO OCT 15
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.
Persons wfho volunteer for spare
time labor on farms and in food
processing plants this summer may
apply for special gasoline rations
to get to and from this work, 0P-
A announces. The applicant must
arrange to carry at least four per-
sons, including the driver (or as
many as the car will hold), and
must show there is no other ade-
quate trasportation.
Nine hundred spare parts are
needed to keep each General Sher- I
man Army Ordnance tank in oper- '
ation for a year. These spare parts
are calculated in sets, one set be-
ing the number of parts required
to service 100 tanks in the field
for a year. The shipment of a com-
plete set of 90,000 spare parts re-
quired 16 fully loaded freight cars.
Nearlv 2,000 boxes and bundles
are requierd to crate a single set
and more than four miles of steel
strapping are needed to bind them
securely.
Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 has been
named Christmas Mlailing Month
by the Army and Navy, which this
year have 33,000 uniformed men
and women in their postal services
to handle an estimated 70 million
Christmas presents, three times as
many as last year. Packages mail-
ed during ‘ ‘ Christmas Mailing-
Month” should reach their desti-
nation by Christmas day. Packages
should weigh no more than five
pounds and have combined length,
width and depth of not more than
36 inches and not over 15 inches
in length. „
Packages can not be inaneu at
ter ®ct. 15 to men overseas unless
you present a written request ii om
the serviceman and then likely
would not reach him in time for
the holidays. .
Perishable goods and njnam-
mable materials are prohibited.
Hard candies, fruit cake and choc-
olate bars should be enclosed in
inner boxes of wood, metl or card-
board. Sharp instruments, such as
razors and knives, niust have tlicir
edges and points protected.
One person can mail only one
parcel a week to the same member
of the armed forces.
Christmas packages , should be
marked ‘‘Christmas parcel.” This
marking will cause the parcel to
receive delivery overseas, by Dec.
25. People who know their gifts
will have to go to distant points
should mail parcels the opening
day, Sept. 15.
It is not too early to begin
thinking of putting up ensilage
for winter feed. It lias been found
toy the Experiment Stations that
the protein content of bay crops j
to be used for ensilage, if cut at1
the proper stage, can be increased
to a certain extent. For instance,
if cane is cut in the blue stage and
allowed to cure until it is about
half dry enough to bale, the pro-
tein content will be approximately
eight per cent instead of five or
six; Sudan grass cut before it
heads will have twelve to fourteen
per cent instead of five to six per
cent. If Sudan grass is cut in the
blooming stage, it will have eight
or nine per cent protein as com-
pared to five or six per cent if the
seed is alowed to mature.
Any of the sorghums or Johnson
grass, as well as Sndan grass and
red-toped cane, can be nsed for en-
silage. It must be remembered,
however, that if these crops are
cut at these immature stages of
growth ,thev must be cured until
they are approximately one-halt
as dry as is necessary for baling.
The green color and -vitamin con-
tent will be lost, but the protein
content will be raised. It will also
be necessary to add enough water
to make the feed as damp as a
good heavy dew. In view of the
looming shortage of protein fee .
this winter, it might be wel to
take this into account w^ben^ plan-
ning to harvest crops to go in tne
silo. ___
Approximately 1.250,000 mem-
bers of our armed forces are now
being bandied in organized move-
ments by rail. This does no in-
clude the millions who travel on
furloughs or individual orders.
Passenger car drivers now re-
ceive only 43 per cent as mu^
gasoline as they used m Dm
Petroleum administration for W
savs While Americans have redne
e* passenger ear mileage from the
* peacetime level of about 57 pe
lent, the English have reduced
theirs hy 88 per cent.
In the first five months of 1944,
the Office of Price Amimdstration
Enforcement Program against the
gasoline black market sent -8 ca
owners to jail, convicted 159 ear
owners of buying gasoline with
counterfeit or stolen coupons or
without coupons, took away ia
tions from 775 car owners sus-
r53«l4T'wiones, Put 156 «ifins
peddlers and gasoline dealers.
Army Ordnance depot workers
collect and use current magazines
to pack cetrain kinds of war e-
quipment . Thousands o fO. I.’s
overseas have been the recipients
of reading meterial delivered in
this ingenious manner.
“This Is Invasion Year,” the
director of ODT said, and the
transportation system must be
free to respond to any demands
that the occasion may make upon
it. The unessential traveler will
have only himself to blame if he
is indefinitely stranded, or finds
his Pullman reservation summar-
ily canceled, or finds passenger
schedules temporarily disrupted
and intercity buses completely
swamped.
The Texan’s share in this war
is truly a big one. Of every 18 men
in the Army, Navy and Marine
corps, one is a native of the Lone
Star State. Recent reports show
approximately 650,000 Texans in
the services.
Every dispatch from the fighting
fronts reminds us that the descen-
dants of the heroes of the Alamo
are first-string scrappers. The re-
cruiting officer who told the boys
up North that they should “join
the army and help Texas win the
war” was not too far from the
truth!
The Nazis n Normandy made a
mistake when they made a Texan
mad one day last week. When a
Geilmian bazooka knocked out bis
tank, Lt.. Dick Martin of Fort
Worth got sore, jumped on top of
the stranded machine, cut loose
with a sub-machine gun, and per-
sonally killed 35 Nazis.
In a single air action in North
Africa, Army Air Forces pilots
fired 25,000 rounds of caliber .50
ammunition without a single mal-
functioning attributable either to
the Army Ordnance gun or the
Army Ordnance ammunition.
“Bravery alone is not enough
to: win battles,” declared General
A. A. vanaergriit., tommanaam
of the Marine Corps in urging
youths of pre-military age to re-
return to high school this fall.
“To have bravery without know-
ledge is to be only half prepared.
If you have been employed in the
or on the farm this Slim-
mer, you should plan to go back
to high school this fall. We in the
Marine Corps feel you can best
serve your nation and your fellow
men at school, now building the
sound mind n the sound body.
we
T^OR our men in France and on Pacific
X islands, it’s dig or die. It’s dig and
dig deep, now, for all of us if our sons
and our neighbors’ sons-are to stand
forth and win at this critical hour.
Truly, they’re all we have—and we’re
all they have.
Their simple willingness to endure
hardships for our sake demands great
sacrifice in return. The least we can do
is to back them in their faith in us with
every cent that can be spared beyond
what is needed to keep body and soul
together. The more you invest now the
sooner they’ll return to take up their
lives where they left off. So, we say—
shorten it with War Bonds! Keep faith
with' the men on the fighting fronts!
And remember—your son and your
neighbors’ sons are fighting for a way
of life that must be preserved for them
here on the home front. Your invest-
ments in War Bonds will pay for the
new farm machinery you and the boy
will need when peace comes. He’ll be
counting on you for this, just as he’s
counting on your support now. Don’t
let him down.
For America’s Future, for your Future, for your children’s Future
5 REASONS FOR INCREASING
YOUR WAR BOND PURCHASES
/. The tempo of this war is hitting its
highest point. Government expenditures
for war are at the peak, more money IS
NEEDED . . . now!
2. In proportion to who has the most
money, individuals are not buying their
share of War Bonds. America must correct
this situation.
3'» War Bonds provide the farmer and
rancher with the financial reserve he must
have to survive the ordinary ups and
downs of farming as a business.
4, Money will be needed urgently at a
future date to replace and repair farm
equipment, machinery, and buildings. War
Bonds will provide it.
5. War Bonds are the safest investment
in the world, return a good rate of inter'
est, are easy and convenient to buy . . .
from bank, post office, rural mail carrier
or Production Credit Association.

WITH WAR BONDS!
