Farmers Vital
To War Effort
Every county farmer or farm
worker caring for 16 war units in
livestock or essential crops is more
important to the nation's war ef-
. fort on the farm than in war in
dustries or the armed forces, an-
. nounces Marion county USDA war
board chairman; In commenting on
new deferment instructions re
ceived by local selective service
"j boards.' Food,' more than ever, is
becoming a vital war weapon as
farflung ' battle lines of America
and her allies must be manned
and fed, he said.
Local draft boards are now
making determinations as to
whether a farmer or farm worker
is essential by applying war-unit
ratings to his livestock and crop
. production, W. M. Tate explained.
.' , All farm livestock except draft
animals has a war rating, and most
basic . feed and food crops apply
toward war units. One milk cow
I is rated as one war unit, as are 12
farm beef animals, 15 range beef
animals, 20 hogs, 75 hens, 45 range
sheep, 30 sheep in farm flocks and
40 ..turkeys.- Crop ratings include
. 15 acres of wheat, "oats, rye, bar
ley, hay or cover crop seeds; two
acres of potatoes; one acre of fruit
' trees; one acre of canning vege
tables; or .7 of an acre" of small
' fruits and berries.
The 16-war unit standard is
used as a guide and is not a rigid
. yardstick, Tate said. Those whose
. operations do not measure up to
the 16 units will be given oppor
tunity to increase up to an essen
tial farm rating if this is practicable.-
.
The county war board has been
requested to advise with the local
draft board in making determina
tions under the war. units plan, the
chairman said. This work is now
going on, and information " from
farm work sheets to be made out
by every farmer during the com
ing mobilization for 1943 will be
used to complete the job, as well
as to assist farmers in bringing
their operations up to the 16-unit
standard. "
"-.. The new selective service reg
illations also provide that any per
son given a deferred, classification
as essential to food production may
not leave the farm for other work
or to enter the armed forces with
out permission from his local draft
board.

The market was distinguished by
an absence of hedging pressure,

farmers were disposing of a little
free grain as well as redeeming
some from the government loan.

at $140H and July at $1.40V.-V4.
Gains amounted to cent.
Corn was unchanged to Y4 higher,
May 964-96, oats advanced
