PRINTING PRESS HELPING
PROGRESS OF WAR
Today the printing press is
helping to progress the war by
teaching techniques to new
workers, by explaining short-
ages, by inducing conversation
and by clarifying the princi-
ples for which we fight. The
printing press is helping Amer-
ican business to maintain the
friendship of a public whose
wants, for the time being, can-
not be filled. And those who
are looking ahead to the peace
are also usng the printing press
to speed plans for the postwar
world.
It is significant, too, that
America’s freedom to chose
was expanded by the printing
press which permitted business
to inform buyers of the choices
available to them. Printed sell-
ing literature carried the news
of good products and services
to the public and constituted an
essential part of mechandising
programs.

Farmers Are Urged
To Save Own Peanuts
For Planting Purposes
Farmers’ stock peanuts own-
ed by the Commodity Credit
Corporation may be bought by
dealers for resale to farmers
for planting purposes in 1944,
B. F. Vance, AAA State Ad-
ministrative officer, announced
today. Persons or firms' interest-
ed in acting as dealers should
contact the Southwest Peanut
Growers Association, Gorman,
Texas, or the county AAA of-
fice for further details, accord-
ing to Vance.
Dealers will be allowed a
maximum margin of $10 per ton
for handling these peanuts.
Both white Spanish and Run-
ner type peanuts can be obtain-
ed.
County AAA offices will as-
sist dealers in estimating the
amount of peanuts that will be
needed for planting in their
trade areas. Texas farmers
planted 1,070,000 acres of pea-
nuts in 1943 and have a 1944
goal of 1,300,000 acres.
Vance stated that farmers
have been urged to save their
own peanuts for planting pur-
poses and to sell peanuts to
neighbors for planting in 1944.
