By ELIZABETH BROOKS,
County Homs Demonstration Agent
This year, as never before
homemakers of the United
States are concerned about
canning products to retain
as many "minerals and vita-
mins as possible, as well as
canning products that will
not spoil.
All fruits and tomatoes should
be canned by the water bath meth-
od, and all vegetables other than
tomatoes should be canned under
pressure. To preserve the minerals
and*vitamins, it is important to use
the right method for each product.
SOUTH OF BURNET; Texas, is
the state's largest cave. Longhorn
Cavern.
In Burnet County. Texas, are
found unusually varied mineral de-
posits, including granite (from
which • Texas' State Capitol and
Galveston's seawall were built),
graphite, copper, lead, lithograph
Pineapples are now on the mar-
ket and many homemakers anf
taking advantage of the supply by
canning them to contribute to their
food for victory supplies.

Farm Machinery
Quotas Lifted
All county quotas on rationed
farm machinery were cancelled this
week by the Texas USDA War
Board.
Under the revised program, which
goes into effect immediately, elig-
ible producers now may purchase
machinery from any dealer in the
state instead of restricting pur-
chases to the county in which they
carry out farming operations.
They will be required, however,
to locate the machinery they lyish
to purchase and obtain a purchase
certificate from Farm Machinery
Rationing Committees before mak-
ing purchase. Producers are elig-
ible for purchase certificates when
their application for farm machin-
ery and equipment is approved by
local rationing committees.
Committees are not permitted to
issue purchase certificates unless
the machinery first is located by
the producer, and It was explained
that the purpose of this plan was
to prevent issuing certificates In
excess of available supply.
Tag requirements also are abol-
ished and machinery Is tagged to
specify the state in which it is to
be sold. Previously, machinery was
tagged by counties and could be
purchased only when machines
were to be used In the county for
which they were tagged. ,
State quotas remain in effect
but break-down by counties no
longer will be necessary under the
revised .program, Vance sat'd.
HOOP, Estimated salable'and to
tal receipts 500. Very meager re-
ceipts offered in the San Antonio
hog division Monday met;an active
release at steady?* to 10c. higher
rates as compared with Friday. The
.day's top rested at $14.25 with the
bulk of Good and Choice 180-270
lbs. at -14.15-14.25. Similar grade
160-180 lbs. cleared 313.65-14.15 and
140-150 lbs. chiefly $12.75-13.25. few
$13.50. Most bows 400 lbs. down
commanded $12.90-13.15. Feeder
pigs ruled steady at $12.00-12.50.
CATTLE: Estimated salable and
total receipts 700; CALVES 700.
Small cattle and calf supplies cou-
pled with fairly broad demands
Warcrop Goals
Exceeded—:
Except Peanuts
Extra Meat Rations
Loggers, miners, prospectors,
fishermen, sheepherders and others
who live or work far from popula-
tion centers and who cannot sup-
plement their meats - fats rations
with fresh fish, poultry, and eggs
can get extra points for rationed
meats and fats by two new OPA
amendments.
All warcrop goals with the ex-
ception of peanuts have been
pledege by Texas farmed under the
1943 Food for Freedom program,B.
F. Vance, chairman, state USDA
War Board, said this week.
Based on reports from329,700
farm plan sheets,representing 88
percent of Texas farms and 87 per-
cent of all cropland; principal war-
crops which will be exceeded are
grain sorghums , soybeans .Irish
potatoes .sweet potatoes and SxP
cotton.
"The remaining 12 percent of
our farms and .13 percent of our
cropland' on which we have not
received the required information
prbably will account for some of
the acreage we need to meet our
stato peanut goal," Vance said.
He explained that according to
farm plan sheets which have been
received, furmers already have
pledged 1,219,000 acres of peanuts,
while the state goal is 1,300,000
acres.
The intended acreage for grain
sorghums this year aggregates 6.-
340,000 acres, or 377.000 acres more
than the state goul of 5.963,000
acres, the chairman pointed out,
and added that farmers were being
urged to plant all the acreage they
could to feed grains because of the
livestock-feed situation, in which
the numbers of livestock are in-
creasing faster than the production
of feed grains.
Producers in the soybean area
Indicate they will plant 84,000 acres
compared to a state goal of 75,000
acres.
The grand total of all warcrops,
according to the Intended acreage
on farm plan sheets, is 7,837,100
acres compared to the total war-
crop. goal of 6,792,000 acres, the
minimum established under the
1943 production program. The veg-
etable acreage contracted for pro-
cessing Is not included In the grand
total figures, neither are perennial
hay crops, non-crop pasture and
rangeland from 19 Panhandle coun-
ties.
Other warcrop goals and Intend-
ed acreages, according to the farm
plan sheets, are as follows: Irish
potato goal, 19,300 acres, intended
acres, 42,400; sweet potato goal,
95,000 acres, intended acres, 104,000;
SxP, cotton goal. 19,800 acres, In-
tended acres, 21,800; and castor
beans, 2,000 acres, intended acres,
2,425. ,
, The Intended planting of 38,600
acres of flax, and 22,100 acre* of
dry edible beans, automatically be-
came the state goals for these com-
modities since previous goals were
not established, Vance %aid.
