A recent order issued by the food production administration contained many important changes concerning the use of fertilizer ac cording to Gelorge A. Nelson, county agent. The regulations were extended to include phos phorus and potash as well as ni trogen. Some crops have been omitted from the preferred list, but the use of fertilizer is not prohibited on any crop. The new regulations are more liberal re flecting an increase in the nation al supply of fertilizing materials. Crops are still divided in two classifications with crops in the A group entitled to first chance to get, any available material. A crops include dry snap and lima beans; cabbage; carrots; onions; dry’edible and green peas; pota toes; sweet corn when grown only for processing; tomatoes; all veg etables grown for seed; and sugar beets when grown for seed. Flax, hybrid corn for seed, spinach, kale, prunes for drying, beets for fresh market or processing, pep pers and sweet corn for fresh market have been eliminated from the A crop list. Sugar beets for seed production are the only addition. Others in B Group Practically all other crops fall in the B classification. They are eligible for fertilizer only after the A crop needs have been sup plied. The B crop list now includ es grain crops, melons, and cu cumbers on which the use of cer tain fertilizers were illegal this past season. On nursery stoek, bulbs, and commercial-cut flow ers, the use of fertilizer on these crops is limited to 75 percent of the material used either last sea son or the season before. Fertilizer will be available for home lawns, golf courses, and oth- GUARANTEED Watch Repairing W. T.

The use of chemical nitrogen on these plantings was prohibited this sea son, but under the new order a limited amount of “specialty” fer tilizer containing nitrogen will be available. Victory Formula Better Victory gardeners will have a new and better all-around fertiliz er. The new formula of the “Vic tory Garden Fertilizer” will be 6-10-4----6 percent nitrogen, 10 percent phosphorus; and 6 percent potash. This year’s victory gard en fertilizer contained 3 percent nitrogen, 8 percent phosphorus, and 7 percent potash. • Under last year’s regulations the fertilizer dealer was given the entire responsibility of supply ing the needs of those important food crops falling in the A classi fication. The new rules give the grower an equal responsibility in that he must order his needs from the dealer at least thirty days be fore the time of use to be entit led to preferential consideration. New Growers to Benefit A new ruling will permit the use of fertilizer on any crops in the B classification, which were ineligible this year. Under the old rules B crop growers could purchase fertilizer only when they could show a previous use of fer tilizer on the same crop. This re I’ve got a home, too, Mister!

V«. fiPHL, 1943 ♦l£9 This is accomplished by amend ment No. 1 to maximum price regulation 330, retailers’ and wholesalers’ prices for women’s, girls’ and children’s outerwear garments, effective August 7, 1943. It carries through to the consumer action taken on June 29 by issuance of revised max imum price regulation 287 to cover manufacturers’ fall, as well as spring, selling price lines for these garments. Both regulations now apply to sales the year a round. Also, this action places 15 new categories of garments under the coverage of regulation 330 in ad dition to the 31 categories already covered. These 15 new categories were formerly priced under the GMPR and MPR 142. The new categories include tod dler sizes, 6 months to 4 years, for coats, suits, jackets, skirts and dresses, slacks and slack suits for all size ranges; and 'teen age girls’, children’s and toddlers’ blouses. OLD S unny B rook HE above chart, showing how average American fared in T n- the ’ional income changes in the last t Ive months Is based on the monthly consumers’ study of In vestors Syndicate of Minneapolis. The American public in April had a “real income” of $1.22. or an in crease of twenty-two cents on the dollar over the same 1942 month. This “real income” is not a sub traction of cash income and expen ditures but an average relative of these figures designed to show how living costs affect adjusted income dollars. Cash income of the American public in April was 11.29 tor every JI a year earlier. This gain of twenty-nine cents on the dollar re sulted from the following changes per dollar: wages up forty cents, salaries thirty-two cents and other Income up twenty-nine cents on the dollar. Investment income at >3 cents was down seven cents. Rents and clothing in April were unchanged compared with a year ago. Food was up seventeen cents. Miscellaneous items were one cent higher than in April, 1942. ★ ★ 'IfJJtcd 'l/o.u /iuy Wdh.
