Aid Given in Repair Plan For Farmers 1 Action to assist farmers who are cooperating in the machinery 're pair program has been announced by the war production board, R. D. Pence, chairman of the Polk county USD A war board, has dis closed. . Preference rating , order P-100 has been amended to ex tend : priority assistance for the repair of agricultural machinery. The farmer who repairs his own equipment or the local repairman or : blacksmith' .who does it for him, may now apply an A-10) pri ority rating to obtal n welding rods, bar iron, nuts, bolts,' rivets or other material that cannot be obtained without a priority rating and Is used for repairing farm machinery. r -. : To apply the preference rating for deliveries ? of materials, farmer or repairman simply copies and signs the following statement on the original and all copies of his purchase order: " k . Material for maintenance,' re pair, or operating supplies, rat ing A-10, under preference nt-ViStf LoS? Z tel log order Ne. P-1C9, with the terms of which I am fxmUiar. When an order for repair ma terial bearing this preference rat ing is placed with dealer or sup plier the; supplier may, in turn ' pass this, rating on to the manu facturer - or jobber, to ' obtain the material or replace his stock.' , Chairman Pence pointed out that while' there is no guarantee that an A-10 rating will be sufficient to obtain prompt delivery of all of the types of repair supplies con taining scarce materiaLs, the order will cover most of the repair needs and will be of real benefit to the farm machinery repair program.- Stocks and Bonds March S .

Dis tribution should begin soon, states W. C Leth, Polk county agent Most effective poisoning is that done on a large area basis with the poison being scattered by the various farm operators involved all at practically the same time. In this manner it Is difficult for squirrels to migrate from one lo cation to an adjacent one and thereby miss .being poisoned. These areas should receive succes sive applications at Intervals Of two weeks to a month until the squirrel population is well under! control.- . . Leth advises that the poison not be put directly into the Bquirrel I burrows but to deposit it close to the runways leading to the bur rows. The poison should be scat tered in small amounts as larger quantities prove quite wasteful. It is reported that about 10 kernels of the poison barley are sufficient to kill one squirrel. This poison may also be put under brush piles or under a specially prepared V trough, so that cer tain domesticated animals such as turkeys, ducks or geese - cannot I have access to it. These are affected by the poison: however, such birds as chickens, pheasants, quail and others which belong to the gallinaceous family are apparently Immune to strych nine poison. v :; It was felt advisable to retain the price per bag of 35 cents; how ever, with Increased costs there Is slightly less In the bags this year. The poison is available at the following locations over Polk county: ; " v J. v.. : ; Glea Soathwlck. route four.
