One way of meeting the farm
labor shortage is to determine to
produce high crop yields. Good seed
beds, fertilizer, adapted seed, and
excellent cultural practices will per-

Then he caught himself: "Oh,
what's the use talking to you?
There's nothing you can do about
it."
A man whose small child had the
whooping cough was out OF oil and
had been unable to get his coupons.
The principal of private school
at which 40 boys were enrolled as
pupils had had trouble getting
through his application and the
school was out Of Oil.
The owner Of an apartment build
ing housing six families called to
order oil. When asked If she had
her coupons she replied that she had
no idea what he was talking about.
A home owner said she was out
of oil, didn't know how much she
had and wouldn't be able to tell
if she looked.
Faces Heavy Damage.
The owner of a large estate said
he had only 40 gallons of oil left,
and that it would cost him IS 900
in damage If he had a freeze. He
was told to 60 to his board and try
to obtain emergency coupons.
A woman reported her home, in
which lay an elderly sick woman,
was out Of oil. She was advised to

yesterday while he sat literally in a
madhouse of action. Phones were
ringing in three different Offices
simultaneously, and as rapidly as
they were answered they rang again.
Il may sound crazy, and I sup
pose I am crazy" he said. "I've
been answering these phones for
from 18 to 20 hours day since
last week. A part of the blame
may be placed fairly on the people
themselves, but most of it should
go on the men who try to put such
a system as this in effect at a time
when the thermometer is down to
10 degrees. We tried to tell them,
but we got nowhere"
The phone rang, and he picked
up the receiver. The caller was an
OPA official, to whom he talked
with distress in his voice, obviously
trying to hold himself. But he let
loose when the caller suggested that
your grief will blow over
What do you mean-blow over?"
exploded the oil man. IT'S just
beginning. I predicted this was
coming, and I'm no predicter.
There's still more trouble ahead.
This thing is serious. If we don't
do something we're going to have
grave trouble, maybe rioting"
He put down the phone. 1t rang
again. This time it was the OPA
in Richmond.
I'm nearly crazy" began the oil
official in answer to the greeting

BY the Associated Press.

DANVILLE, Va, Dec. 49,
State, county and city police
pressed their hunt today for Sam
Valentine, colored farm laborer,
who has been charged with the
fatal shooting of F. C. Beverley,
IS, Pittsylvania County tobacco
planter, at the Beverley home at
Whitmell yesterday. Mr.. Bev-
erley was brother in law of the
late Secretary of the Navy
Claude A. Swanson.
Commonwealth's Attorney Joseph
Whitehead swore out a warrant
charging Valentine with murder.
Several hundred men, working in
small groups, searched during the
night in an area where Valentine,
the husband of the Beverleys' COL
ored cook. last was seen.
Ofncers investigated a report that
Valentine had been captured near
the Dry Fork station on the South
ern Railway. to find that a man
resembling the fugitive had been
seen there but had not been ap-
pretended.
Bloodh0unds Fail.
Bloodhounds were taken to the
scene, but officers said they were
OF little value because many per-
sons had trampled over the premises
before the hounds arrived. Trains
in the area where the hunt is
under way also are being searched.
Funeral services for Mr.. Beverley
will be conducted at IL am. to-

them are ready to put the key in
their front doors and walk away"
System TOO Complicated"
The trouble, as the one official sees
It, lies in the fact that the OPA
waited too long to put into effect a
system that is "too complicated for
practical purposes and that its
administration was left to ration
boards which were not set up for
emergency purposes.
This plan should have been be-
gun six months ago and should
have been accompanied by a thor
ough educational program" he said.
"As it is, cold weather was on us
before we got started, and the peo-
pile were not thoroughly enough
coached on what lay ahead to know
how to conserve their fuel oil"
Still graver days lie Immediately
