r PAGE SIX AAA PAYMENTS TO VITAL CROPS "Rationing acres" for produc tion of the most essential crops is the description given to pro duction adjustment features of the 1943 farm program by John Shepherd, Scio farmer and member of the state AAA com mittee. Farmers will find it both profitable and patriotic to adjust their plans to produce most needed products. Wheat, the principal "war crop" of World war 1, is in plentiful supply this time, Shep herd points out. Instead, the need is for concentrated foods, oil crops, and fibers to replace war-lost imports. As a means of putting every available acre to work for the war effort, pay ments made to wheat growers for reducing acreage within al lotments will be closely connect ed with production of essential crops. Individual farm goals will be established for nine special war crops, including dry beans, po tatoes, dry edible peas, peas for canning, tomatoes for process ing, seed flax, vetch for seed, and fiber flax. Each farm's re sources, as shown by the farm plan which farmers will be ask ed to fill out during the every farmer canvass in January, will be taken into account in set ting war crop goals. Wheat pay ments for 1943 will be condi tioned on the farm's war crop goals being met. Second condition to earning a full wheat payment provides that at least 90 per cent of the farm's wheat acreage allotment be planted in 1943 to either wheat, special war crops or des ignated substitute crops. These substitute crops include barley In areas where it will produce more feed value than wheat, and Austrian winter peas up to the farm's allotted acreage of that crop. More substitute crops may be added later, Shepherd said. , These substitute crops, in oth er words, are more needed than wheat, and hence may be sub stituted for wheat, but they are not the vitally needed war crops for which farm goals are set Objective of conditioning pay ments on war crop goals and ' on 90 per cent of allotments, Shepherd said, is to insure that land taken out of wheat will not stay idle and will be devot ed to production of needed es sential crops. Dick Gilman Here to Review Hiring Hall Set-Up Dick Gilman, manager of the Columbia River district IWA hiring hall, arrived here Wednesday to review the hiring hall set-up in Klamath Falls. He is working with Tim Sulli van and Russell Cooper, local representatives. - Gilman reports members are "very enthusiastic and interest ed" in their own union hiring hall and that a number of op erators are also interested. The present arrangement, he said, is progressing in a satisfactory manner. Before coming here Gilman spent four days in Bend helping IWA union officials set up a hall in that city. Already orders for men are starting to come Into both hiring halls he said. The local hall is located at 919 Klamath avenue. Family Account Books Ready Farm family account books for 1943 are now ready for dis tribution.

Earl Gardner, Klamath coun ty FSA supervisor, reports thRt this meeting was held to give farm security personnel a more concise picture of their responsi bilities as members of the war board in cooperation with other department of agriculture agen cies in mobilization o( efforts to produce needed food for our armed forces all over the world, our allies and their civilian pop ulations, and tho people of our nation. Four Objectives A report of agricultural mo bilization, as outlined by Secre tary of Agriculture Wickard in a recent conference at Denver, Colorado was given by Verne Llvcsay, state director of the farm security administration. The four major objectives to be carried out in the mobiliza tion program arc: (1) complete use of land, (2) retention and maintenance of dairy animals, (3) attention to rural labor problems, (4) efficient utilization of machinery. Special consideration was giv en to new developments in re lation to coming labor problems, and to care and use of machine ry in the present war period. Likewise, agricultural goals for Oregon for 1943, and ways of meeting labor shortages were considered. Home It Factory Efficient home management as a substantial basis for good health, adequate gardens, com plete live-at -home programs, and proper clothing was stressed by Sara Wertz, area home man agement supervisor.

KoestiT, officer In charge, Headquarters Western Remount area, San Mateo, Calif., suggesting that horse breeders not overlook the advantages of registering their colts. Lt.-Col. Koesler said: "Dur ing the past month hundreds of applications for registration have poured into this office in dicating that regardless of the war the breeders In tho Western Remount area are still deter mined to give their colls tho ad vantages o registration and that others who have, eligible colts should do so." Lt.-Col. Kocster also stated that they are making up the stal lion slato for the next breeding season and breeders desiring stal lions usually delay too long In making their requests. Any breeders desiring a stallion should contact them at once. Examination of Anti-Freeze in Cars Recommended Here Soma farmers and car owners have reported to the county agent's office some difficulty with some of the anti-freezo pre parations on the market this year. Some of this material is hard to hold In the radiator and if It seeps into the motor causes considerable damage, it was re ported. Examination of all anil-freeze in cars and trucks at this time might save considerable diffi culty and damage to the motor. Whore trotiblo has occurred It might be well to report this to the dealer from whom the mate rial was purchased, officials pointed out Phone The Herald and News, 3124, to place a classified ad. v'' ' ' TYOU'LL BE FRANKLY; 'i- V; ::.-'. -'V-1. x UTAH; - IDAHO 715 MAIN ST. - KLAMATH FALLS DR.

A spokesman for tho Ameri can meat Institute in Chicago declared that the army Is tak Ing very largo quantities of beef and that "army needs come lust." A cause of the civilian under supply, some meat packers as serted, Is that tho government has placed a celling on prk-i-s without a balancing culling on livestock. "There Is a terrific loss In most beef and to ruinuiu In busi ness we cun t aiford to kill any more animals than we have to," one Pittsburgh packer said. "It means wo keep army orders filled but don't always have the 70 per cent of last year's meat available that can go to civilian trade.'' Slaughtering of local herds was advanced as a chief means of relieving the shortage In many communities. In Los Angeles packer spokesman said the situation was "groatly Improved" today. Ho said that although delivery facilities wore not adequate, "consumers will be able to get their share." Throughout New England many persons were having trou ble in getting steaks with their French fries. Stores In Boston said they had only sufficient fresh beef to supply early ar riving customers. In Mississippi, on the other hand, Assistant State AAA Ad ministrator Fred Hurst sold there were more beef cattle in the state than ever before and that local packing houses were HELPS PREVENT Pf) HQ From Omloplng UULUO ...Atthefiratsncee. sniffle or sign of naiul irriMtlon, put a few drops of Vlcks Vn-tro-nol up each nostril.
