Sharp reduction in the number
of items rationed and transfer of
greater responsibility for distri­
bution control to the machinery
trade are among the chief fea­
tures of the program for obtain­
ing the most effective use of the
increased amounts of farm ma­
chinery to be available in 1944,
reports W. C. Johnson, chairman
of the county farm rationing com­
mittee.
Only 31 types of new farm ma­
chinery will be rationed under the
new program, as compared with
91 types under rationing and
distribution controls in 1943. This
is due mainly to the increased
production of new machinery
scheduled for 1944, Mr. Johnson
believes.

For all three groups of equip­
ment, a 20 per cent national re­
serve will be withheld to meet
emergency needs. Distribution of
this reserve will be directed by
the war food administration.
The entire machinery outlook,
both production and distribution,
presents a much brighter picture
than in 1943. Mr. Johnson be­
lieves. Farmers may expect more
machinery and more timely deliv­
eries.

The American public in July had
a “real income" of $1.23. or an in­
crease of twenty-three cents on the
dollar over the same 1942 month.

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 July was $1.28 for every
$1 a year earlier. This gain of
twenty-eight cents on the dollar re­
sulted from the following changes
per dollar: wages up thirty cents,
salaries twenty-seven cents and
