e Ver^oriia Eault Thursday, July 15, 1943 Farm War News BERRY CEILING PRICES LISTED BY OPA Here are the prices proces sors may pay growers for seven kinds of berries under tm OPA ceiling price announcement: red raspberries, 15 cents; black rasp berries, 13 cents; youngberries, boysenberries, loganberries and ■blackberries, 12 cents; gooseber ries, 8 cents. NEW REFRIGERATORS FOR DURATION “OUT” There’s not much chance of farmers—or anyone else—being able to buy a new electric house hold refrigerator for the dura tion, the Portland office of the war production board advises. Production of new refrigerators was practically halted some months ago and the limited num ber available in manufacturers and distributors’ stocks is reserved for the armed forces and for the preservation of public health. There are no restrictions, how ever, on sale of any refrigerators in retailers’ stocks. FARM BATTERY PRICES NEED NOT BE HIGHER Farmers need not pay more than the March, 1942 prices for farm batteries—for radios, telephones, ignition systems, fence control lers. Sellers asking increased pric es are violating OPA ceilings, and should be reported to the war price and rationing board. WPB REGULATION FOR FARM WIRING EXTENDED WPB regulations (Order P-144) which provide farmstead wiring material for farmers certified by county USDA war board as el igible for electric service have been extended until July 31. The order, which permits eligible farms to apply an AA-3 rating for up to 75.pounds of copper wire, orig inally expired June 30. It will be shortly replaced by an allocation program which will enable farm ers to apply to the county USDA war board for a purchase certifi cate to obtain copper wire. 1944 FERTILIZER SUPPLY TO BE EVEN LARGER Larger fertilizer supplies than ever before will be available to help Oregon farmers get maxi- mum crop production next year. Supplies of nitrogen will be the largest in history—about a third more than this year. More phos phate will be available this year, but potash supplies will be some what less than this year. To put chemical fertilizer where it will do the most good to boost war crop production, distribution will again be controlled by war food administration regulations. As this year, crops will be divided into A and B groups. A crops will get first priority but growers of B crops will not be required to show that they have used fertiliz er in the past in order to get .sup plies for 1944 production. FOOD FRONT BRIEFS Ceilings on screenings have been established by OPA on a dollar- and-cents basis . . . The 1943 pig crop is estimated at 127 million head, compared with 105 million in 1942 and a 10-year average bf 73,148,000 ... To encourage movement of corn to war indus tries and feeders, the war food ad ministration has promised farmers who deliver corn between now and August 10 that they’ll' get retroactive benefit of any ceiling increase by October 31. The ac tion was taken to halt unfounded rumors of a boost in ceiling prices that was causing many growers to hold corn . . .

Reporting at Brooks for the final flying training which will lead to winning their ratings of “pilot“ and “aerial observer” were three other men from this state in addition to Millis. CIGARETTE BRANDS TO REMAIN SAME Any rumors that OPA plans to reduce or eliminate cigarette brands or brand names, or to provide for only one cigarette, “are absolutely baseless,” Price Administrator Prentiss M. Brown declared recently. FARMER REPORTS REQUIRED Farmers selling only a few slaughtered animals are reminded that monthly reports, the forms for which Sre obtainable at the local rationing office, are required of them. Principle information re quired is amount slaughtered and points collected. Reports are re quired within 15 days after the end of each month. LUMBER QUICK... Although Columbia county wax bond purchases during June were not encouraging, statistics receiv ed Monday by Irving T. Rau, head of the couniy bond committee, in dicated that last month’s bad per formance was more in the nature of a momentary lapse than a chronic condition. In proof of this the state headquarters said that war bond purchases in this county since the program was launched many months ago have run 103% of quota. This means that over a period of a year and a half or two years the county has managed to main tain its purchases of war bonds to such a degree that it is now three percent over the total of all the quotas set for it. Since regular purchases of the treasury issues are what is sought by the govern ment, this record by the county indicates that the treasury re commendations have been pretty well carried out. Apparently there have been no slumps bad enough so that a mild boom the following month would not bring up the av erage again. HELP BY SAVING MEN ESCAPE COUNTY JAIL Buy all the bonds you can, and then help some more by prevent ing forest fires. Fire fighting costs money, and a dollar saved is a dollar earned. Two men escaped from the Columbia county jail in St. Hel ens sometime Monday morning and were thought to have stolen the St. Helens Laundry truck to make Mr. and Mrs. Robert Holcomb and daughter, Hazel Mae, Mrs. Mae Lemons, Mrs. .Holly Holcomb, Jr., and daughter, Bonnie Sue re turned from Seaside last week end after spending over a week there. The Army & Navy Need their get-away, according to word from the county seat. The jail breakers are Ben Carter, who was being held on forgery charges, and Clarence Murray, who had al most completed a 90-day sentence for drunken driving. By removing cell bars, which had been previously cut, the men escaped into the corridor. They then broke out one of the window bars on the east side and squeezed through, dropping 15 feet to the riverbank ledge outside the jail. SAFEWAY U. S.

C.—How important is the average worker's war bond purchases out of his pay every payday in the grand strategy of the Allied High Command? Does the extent of his, or her War Bond allotment have a part in determining when, where and the strength of our military blows? Any worker listening in on a recent con versation between General George C. Marshall, President Roosevelt's Chief of Staff, and Secre tary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., learned the answers to these questions. Said General Marshall: “Mr. Secretary, I want you to answer a question for me and to answer it with complete frankness. Can we military leaders plan to fight this war in an orderly way—in the surest and most effective man ner—or must we take extraordinary risks for fear the money will not hold out?” Replied Secretary Morgenthau: “General, the American public will take care of that. What they have done in the Second War Loan drive—the money they have produced and the spirit they have shown—is proof enough for me that they will not let our fighters suffer from lack of support until we achieve complete victory, no matter how long that may be nor how much it may cost.” Up your War Bond allotment out of your wages today. Figure it out for yourself how much above 10 per cent it should be. Geo. W. Bell, Vernonia Headquarters at Lynch Auto Shop Early in the Week.
