President Roosevelt, in a special
message to Congress, reduced his
WPA request for fiscal 1943 from
$465 million to $3.50 million. He
said the war effort is drawing work
ers from every available source
thereby reducing the need for a
work relief program. To meet labor
shortages, he said, even organized
migration of workers may be neces-
sary. The revised WPA program
would provide for an average month
ly employment Of about 100000 per-
sons "who will not be hired by pro-
vate employers because of age, lack
of skills, or other handicaps."
Chairman McNutt of the War
Manpower Commission directed the
U. S. Employment Service to MAIN
tain lists of skilled occupations es-
sential to war production in which
q national shortage exists, and to
make preferential referrals of work
ers to employers in war industries.
He directed the WPB to classify war
plants and war products in the or
der OF their urgency to the war pro-
gram. He also instructed Selective
Service local boards to confer with
local u. S. Employment Service Of
fices before reclassifying any men
skilled in wal occupations.
Mr.. McNutt said if it is possible
to insure full utilization of man
power through voluntary means, sit
will be unnecessary to put into eff

Good Posture Is
Form Necessity

Farmers who raise livestock are
realizing more and more the i'm
portance of a good pasture. A few
years ago farmers fenced in land
which had been quilted up to the
extent it was no longer fit for Gull
tivation and called this area a pas
ture. Today we know that a good
pasture must be placed on good land
and besides having a sod made up
of grasses and clovers, it is neces-
sary that the pasture get a liberal
use of the moving machine.
This is the time of the year for
the first clipping. The weeds, if per-
mitted to cover the pasture use up
valuable moisture and plant food and
finally brings the value of the pas
ture down to a low point.
Dallis grass, Bermuda grass, COM
mon lespedeza, and White Dutch
clover should be found in any good
pasture. :.
