Scrap Salvage Housing The WPB said a new and greatly FHA field offices resumed the intensified campaign to salvage vital processing of applications for prior scrap materials will be formally ity assistance in the construction of opened July 13, because the only privately financed homes for war way the U.

The agency said a new collect every last bit of scrap from simplified procedure combines pre every farm and home, and from ev- ference rating applications for the ery commercial enterprise and in- electricity, gas, water and sewer con- nections of proposed war housing projects with the corresponding ap plications covering the housing it self. The joint applications will be processed entirely in the field by the FHA offices and by NHA and WPB regional offices. NHA Admin istrator Blandford issued a simpli fying order to empower qualified creditors or lenders to decide whe ther a proposed remodeling project is "war housing," thus exempting the project from credit restrictions set up by the Federal Reserve Board Transportation Transportation Director Eastman banned for the duration all automo bile, midget car and motorcycle rac ing meets, effective July 10. He also asked that state and county fairs be postponed for the duration to help relieve the strain on transport facilities. The ODT postponed until July 15 the date on which over-the-road carriers will be required to be loaded to at least 75 percent of ca pacity for return trips and on which tank trucks will be limited to one delivery daily. The office reported the majority of milk dealers have put their deliveries on an every-other-day basis and have reduced mileage by an average of 25 percent. The office authorized its 51 field offices to begin action immediately upon applications for special per mits under the truck conservation regulations. Army Expansion President Roosevelt signed the $42 billion Army Supply bill for fiscal 1943. The War Department said men now in class 1-B because of minor physical defects will be inducted in to limited military service under a regular quota system in order to release fully qualified soldiers for duty with task forces. Only those 1-B's "who are able to bring to the army a useful vocation which has been followed in civil life" will be called. Grass Too Low in Protein for Livestock The old idea that dry range grass contains enough food value to carry stock through the late summer and early fall months has been further discredited by additional experi ments made on the Squaw Butte range livestock experiment station in Harney county, reports Kenneth Ikeler, superintendent of the station, and R. G. Johnson, head of the ani mal husbandry department at O. S. C. Detailed reports of these grazing studies would have been available at the Squaw Butte field day had it been held this year, instead of being canceled because of war con ditions. Lack of protein in the dry grass, or something associated with this lack, is apparently the cause of cat tle losing weight soon after the grass dries up. Recent experiments show ed that calves also lose weight in September instead of making the desirable daily gain of IY4 to IVz pounds. Yearlings too go to pieces on this dry grass, as shown by weight charts. Livestock men have shown keen interest in these findings, and many are planning either to put stock on meadows earlier or supplement the dry grass with a protein concen trate. If brouse is present, stock get the necessary protein. i j iff- r ""wsnamnMMBiMiMMMH !, ' " ... UP 1 Stram Optica I 223 South Main Street IP . . . Always . . .
