This Is “Plant for Victory Week"
and people are to study the kind
of seed to plant, how to prepare
the land, how to repair machinery
and have It ready for service, plan
for increased poultry production,
swine, sheep and the marketing
of beef cattle. All this will have
a telling effect on what will be
raised and harvested this summer
and fall and will be an aid for a
quicker victory.
The Runnels County War Board
has been asked to call to the
attention of local people the
Plant for Victory Week" along
with a number of specific matters
which Include the fact that more
oil Is needed and those who can
piant peanuts are asked to boost
their acreage sheep raisers are
urged to tend their flocks and get
a full lamb crop, a 6 per cent j
increase being needed They are
also asked to see that disease ami
puraslies are controlled The beef
I cattle producer has been axkcd to
market at least 18 per cent more
beef cattle In 1942 That more
! cattle be fed out to greater weight
and thereby Increase the quality
as well as the quantity which Is
needed for the soldiers of the
nation
In poultry 2.272.000 dozen eggs
l has been set as the goal for Run-
nels county and this means more
poultry and better care and feed*
mg by all raisers The county's
milk goal has been set »t 3.389 534
gallons, which means a high yield

for each cow. Raising of proper
feeds, balanced rations, plenty of
fresh water, supplying necessary
minerals, protection from extreme
hot weather, milking at regular
times, tlx to eight weeks' rest
between calves, and service of a
dairy bull that Is backed by high
producing ancestry will help
achieve the goal.
The county has been asked for
a ten per cent Increase In hogs
for the year and this can be done
by careful management, getting
two litters per year from sows,
breeding the first of November
and the first of May Feed preg-
nant sows a balanced ration and
permit to run on green pasture,
provide extra shelter for sow and
litter, full feed for both litters to
get them to market In six months
Save the best gilts, provide
minerals, self-feeders and plenty
of water Follow good sanitation
and parasite practices.
Every family, either rural or
urbun, should plant a garden,
open frame, or sub-irrigated, but
plant garden for vegetables pro-
duced at home It means that
national defense Is being helped
by transportation problems, con-
servation of tin. tires, and the
national health as well as the
health of the family See the
model frame garden at the Cam-
eron Lumber Co. yard.
Another Item Is cotton. This
year the need Is for a better
staple-—1 1-8 to 1 1-4 inch Run-
nels county can grow one inch
staple or better which will return
an extra premium this year, guar-
anteed by the commodity credit
corporation.
Plant, plan, save and gather up
sera piron Iron is needed and It
is a patriotic duty to bring It to
market mi it can be used as war
material.
