is the acreage of commercial and

justment based on the 1940 and
1941 acreage.

Washington, Oct. 13.—Within the
next few days the federal reserve
board is expected to report on the
question of further increasing the
minimum down payment and re-
ducing the maximum time to pay
the balance on some articles.
These additicnal regulations are
expected to eliminate some of the
loopholes in the first set of laws
affecting only 24 types of goods.
Officials say the first ones, effec-
tive Sept. 1, have not affected the
public’s buying habits much. They
have not failed in their purpose—to
get Mr. and Mrs. Citizen acquaint-
ed with the idea so that at the
necessary time it would be easier
to tighten the rules and get closer
to the objective, reduce public de-
mand for certain articles which use
up materials, labor and factory ca-
pacity that are needed for defense.
The present regulations permit a
person to borrow the price of a new
car or other article from a bank or
finance company and then to es-
cape the down payment restriction
by paying that cash to the dealer
or merchant.
The board may require banks and
others who make cash loans to get
written promises from borrowers
that the loans will not be used to
evade the down payment rules. Ap-
parently, the board is not consid-
ering any change in that part of its
regulations which exempt altogeth-
er consumer purchases on open
credit or charge accounts.

Even the hills of Switzerland to
some have lost their ability to

Texas automobile drivers may
set a record this year for killing
more people than they’ve ever killed
before.
State police director, Homer Gar-
rison, raised this possibility after
studying the trend of “an alarming
increase” in the state’s traffic toll
for the first nine months of 1941.
“Each month has shown a steady
Increase in the number of deaths
over last year,” Garrison observed.
“In August the increase amounted
to 11 per cent. The count for Sep-
tember is not yet complete, and
will not be for a week or so, but al-
ready there is an increase over
September of last year. The com-
plete total for nine months is likely
to show an overall gain of as much
as 13 per cent.
Mathematically, this rate of pro-
gression would result at the year’s
end in an increase of 20 per cent.
That would mean 2,100 deaths, or
approximately 50 more than the
2,043 deaths which set an all-time
record in bloody 1937.”

ing defense savings bonds and

An estimated 1,000,000 pounds of
winter legume seed, mostly vetch,
will be planted in east Teras this
season, says E. A. Miller, agrono-
mist of the Texas extension ser-
vice. In addition to the vetch a
considerable acreage of Austrian
winter peas and bur clover also will
be planted.
Miller, who participated in a re-
cent series of educational meetings,
says it looks like east Texas farm-
ers finally will enter upon a defi-
nite soil improvement program
with winter legumes to increase
their acre yields and profits. He
points out that in experiments at
College Station cotton following in-
oculated and fertilized vetch was
increased 43 per cent by plowing
under an average of five tons an
acre of green vine®. In similar ex-
periments at the Nacogdoches sub-
station a 44 per cent increase of
cotton was obtained with seven to
eight tons an acre of green vines
plowed under and 58 to 65 per cent
with six to seven tons of vines at
Tyler. The vines contained from
80 to 125 pounds of nitrogen.
Inoculation Stressed.
It is essential to inoculate the
seed, .except bur clover when plant-
ed in the burs, and to use at least
100 to 200 pounds of 20 per cent
superphosphate, or its equivalent
to the acre, Miller says. Without
this treatment winter legumes sel-
dom are successful on sandy land.
Innoculation of the seed with
bacterial culture which may be ob-
tained from seed dealers, makes it
possible for the legumes to utilize
nitrogen from the air by action of
the bacteria in the nodules on the
roots. The phosphate is necessary
for good legume growth, and most
of the phosphate and nitrogen will
be available to produce larger crops
the next season if the legumes are
turned under.
Seed production of winter le-
gumes is sufficiently promising to
justify farmers planting seed plots.
Miller points out that this is of
first importance on account of the
present scarcity of winter legume
seed. Yields of from 200 to 600
pounds of vetch seed have been re-
ported by farmers in east Txas.
The production of more legume
seed by farmers should result in
a greatly expanded acreage of le-
gumes for soil improvement, larg-
er yields and greater profits.
