Government stocks of wheat
available for feed purposes will ad
vance from 92 cents to 93 cents per
bushel on Feb. 1, according to in
formation received by the local
AAA office this week. The Com
modity Credit Corporation, govern
ment agency, has in storage some
855,000 bushels of the golden grain
and it is hoped that a good share
of this, which is holdover from the
1941 crop, will be moved in the
next few months to provide storage
space for the 1943 crop.
Total storage capacity of the
county is 3,718,199 bushels, accord
ing to Merle Cummings of the local
AAA office. Broken down it gives
a total farm bulk storage of 1,337,
199 bushels; 1,181,000 bushels sack
storage and 400,000 bushels bin
storage held by the Commodity
Credit Corporation.
With the movement of the 1941
crop, or a considerable portion of
it, and additions made to storage
facilities the past season, the pros

Despite the fact that the presid.
ing officers of both the house and
the senate have insisted that the
members remain in session until
Saturday noon of each of the two
weeks of the session, it does not
seem to have made the session any
move,
to come in only about so fast.
For instance the bills of the
many administrative agencies have
not been written in most cases.
There have been some insurance
bills and some from the code com
missioner making little change in
the wording of the law or deleting
obsolete matter. Other than that,
nothing.
