RUBBER:
Synthetic Hopes High

If all of the necessary materials
going into the manufacture of syn
thetic rubber can be supplied in 1914,
production should approximate $780,
600 tons, Bradley Dewey, newly
named rubber director, declared.
Even as Dewey spoke, the War
Production board ordered IL major
textile mills to devote their facilities
exclusively to the fabrication of cot
ton and rayon tire cords. Previous
ly, the mills had been making cot
ton duck for the army.
Production of synthetic rubber in
September will exceed $4,000 tons,
Dewey said, and tires made from the
material are equal to all but the top
grade from natural rubber. Next
year, minimum of 80 million tires
will have to be made and distributed
for essential civilian driving, Dewey
added.

CIVILIAN SUPPLIES:
assure Stocks

Civilians were assured of supplies
of such items as lamps and Ian
terms burning liquid fuel, bed
springs, radiators, furnaces and boil
ers under a directive issued to
manufacturers by the War Produc-
ton board.
Under the order, manufacturers
will set aside a certain percentage
of their stock for civilian use., Any
attempts of the army, navy, mari
time commission or other govern
ment agencies to dip into these re-
serve stocks will be referred to the
WPB, which will then determine
whether the orders are to be hon
ored.
WPB's regulation under which it
will review requests of government
agencies to get goods from civilian
stocks, was modification of pre-
vious order, under which the agen-
cies could only obtain such supplies
with a Triple-A priority rating, re-
served for strategic needs of the
highest urgency.

MILK QUOTAS:
At Current Levels

In order to maintain production of
butter, cheese and evaporated and
dried milk products, the War Food
administration announced sales of
fluid milk will be controlled through
the establishment of dealers quotas.
Quotas will be based on dealers
current deliveries, permitting civil
ians to purchase more milk than
they consumed in 1912, but less than
they might if supplies were avail
able. Sales to hospitals, pregnant
and nursing mothers and children
will take precedence over other de-
liveries, it was said, and sales to
homes also will receive special con-
sideration.
In heavily populated urban areas
where the milk situation is particu-
larly acute, the program will first
be established. Administration ex-
penses will be paid by an assess
ment on milk handlers.

WAR PRISONERS:

WAR PRISONERS: About 1900
American servicemen are held in
Italian prison camps. These men
will probably be released soon, as a
result of the Italian unconditional
surrender.

ITALY:
Battlefield. after Al

Italy's unconditional surrender to
the Allies did not spare that country
from becoming bloody battlefield
In the war.
Trapped all along the Italian boot
when the Badoglio government gave
up the fight, German forces put up
stiff resistance as Allied armies
swarmed ashore to occupy the main
land. Bitter fighting occurred near
Naples and in Rome, where Ger
mans were reported to have seized
control to establish their own puppet
regime, in the name of Benito Mus
solini.
Meanwhile, Italian service men,
told to resist German attempts to
prevent them from giving up, ap-
peared divided in their loyalty to
the BadogGo government. While Ital-
ian soldiers were reported aiding
the Allies in the south, the Ger
mans claimed many others were
standing by the Axis in the north,
where the Nazis planned last ditch
fight along the mountain range of
the Po valley.
Escorted by the British navy,
three Italian battleships and an as
sortment of cruisers and destroyerS
repeatedly were steaming for Allied
ports in North Africa, there to join
in the fight against Germany.

quest for IL billion dollars of new
taxes to raise total receipts to so
billions year is expected to arouse
bitter debate il congress over meth
DDS for obtaining the money. A
sales tax, preferably on manufac-
turers, spending tax over certain
exemptions, and increased income
and corporation taxes have been
suggested as revenue sources.
HOGS:
To bring the livestock population
in line with feed supplies, the gov
ernment announced that effective
October l, 1914, it will support prices
for good to choice hogs between 100
and 230 pounds at $3.50 a hundred
pounds, $125 less than at present.
Under the new program, heavy hogs
will not be supported.
Pigs farrowed next spring will be
sold under the new regulation. Ac-
cording to the government, prospec-
tive feed supplies will justify a
spring crop of 81 million pigs.
STOCKS:
Prices of stocks on the New York

the Italian unconditional surrender.
So-called "war Stocks" securities of
companies now principally engaged

RUSSIA:
REGAIN Resources

Proceeding to shorten their lines
in Russia, made more necessary by
the collapse of Italy, the Nazis fell
back on the Dnieper river, surren-
dering the vital Donetz industrial
basin as they retreated.
Farther to the north, the Ger
mans withdrawal put Russia in re-
possession of much of the fertile
farmland of the Ukraine, famed for
its wheat and cotton.
Although the Reds regained ac-
cess to coal and iron and foodstuffs,
the Germans destruction of the Do
netz's factories and their requisition
of the Ukrainian harvests deprived
the Russians of immediate use of
these resources.
In Moscow, a 224-gun salute
marked the Russian successes.

um, though it has quantities of mer-
curry, bauxite and sulphur. Second
ly, the country's food production is
unbalanced, insuficiencies in grains,
meats, fish, oils and eggs offsetting
surpluses in fresh, citrus and dried
fruits, nuts, vegetables, cheese and
rice.
Thus, if use is to be made of in
dustrial facilities, raw materials

vantage is to be taken of her peculiar
agricultural production, some provi-
sion of imports of other foods will

Wheat In Loan

Because farmers are able to OBJ
tain more for their wheat on the
market than the $1.28 a bushel ad-
vanced on loans by the Commodity
Credit corporation, pledges on the
1943 crop approximate half of the
total prevailing at this time last
year. Then, 94,418,000 bushels were
being held by the U. S.
On the 1855, ,725 bushels in loan,
$50, 6,964,137 was paid out, the CCC
stated. Warehouses held 39,370, 900
bushels, and 4,985, ,459 bushels were
stored on farms. Officials estimated
that the entire 1943 loan stock would
not exceed 200, 10000 bushels.

WITH THE
SPORTSMEN'S CLUB
By Paul Sovder

Conservation Week in the schools of
Ohio and April Is will be observed
as Arbor and Bird Day.
A few days prior to Arbor Day
the Club is scheduled to receive from
the Department of Conservation
1910 trees for planting. These trees
will be planted in units of 167 trees.
thru-out the country. Wilford Geig-
er is the club director in charge of
this program.
Attention Fishermen! Regulations
in size of minnow seines have recent
ly been changed to make the use of
one-eighth of an inch mesh legal for
seining of minnows. This, however,
still allows you to use also the one
fourth and one-half inch sizes as
previously permitted if desired.
The hawk hunters bagged real
speciman the other day. On recent
shooting trip Russell Montgomery
and Wilbur Niswander shot a North
ern Ruffleg Hawk. This hawk is
not native of this section and ap-
parently had flown down from
Canada. The bird had wing spread
of five feet. On examination of the
stomach of this bird, the remains of
fox squirrel tails could be identified.
A few days ago Russell Mont
gomery and Claude Ream on hunt
ing trip bagged two Red Tail
Hawks, and Swanson. Later, on
examination of the stomachs of the
birds, each contained ball of rabbit
fur. One of the hawks was shot in
the act of eating a rabbit.
The number of hawks shot this
year by Wilbur and Russell totals
rs to date. This is a mighty good
record considering that some of the
hawks were killed at a distance of
three hundred yards!

by Congress. In a meeting with
the agent, Robert w. Winchell of
Wapakoneta, Roy Rogers, and COM
mittee members, the plans for the
reserve were discussed and set into
operation The 40 acres will be pro-
tected from all hunting and disturb
ance. Conspicuous metal signs are
to be placed at intervals on all sides
of the reserve warning the public
against the use of fire arms in the
zone. Under the set-up, raccoon and
squirrel dens are being constructed
with the use of Robertson
funds. Twelve squirrel and two coon
dens are being made thru the CO.
operation of Hayden Steiner and the
manual training classes at the High
school, and by Harry Barnes and
his farm shop classes. All fourteen
of the dens will be installed in the
new game reserve.
Throughout the five year period
the Sportsmen's Club will continu-
ously aid in developing the reserve
with the release of squirrel, rabbits,
raccoon, and pheasants for propaga-
tion purposes. Feeding shelters will
be installed later and maintained by
the club, game wardens, and the aid
of PittmanR Robertson agents. Shell
ter and food trees are also to be
furnished free for planting in the
reserve.
Under these new plans for ref
uges, an attempt will be made to
place a reserve in every township of
districts one and six, by Agent
Winchell. At the last directors
meeting of the club, full support to
the plans in every way possible was
voted by the directors.
The club wishes to take this op-
portunity to thank Roy and John
Rogers for their interest in assisting
with the work of the conservation
department. The lease of their tract
of land will mean a great deal to
the development of wild life and
game in Union township.
The committee on food arrange
ments for the Farmer-Sportsmen
Mixer has been appointed to look
after refreshments for the occasion.
Ralph Reichenbach is appointed
chairman assisted by Dallas Berry
and Herbert Rupright. If the gang
doesn't get fed when this event is
held in the Legion Hall the thir-
teenth of April they know who to
blame.

The first crate of squirrel arrived
from the Sandhill Game Farms at
Babcock, Wis.,, last Friday morning.
The crate contained three fox squir-
rels and one grey, and all four of
the animals were in good condition,
despite the fact that they were on
the road three days without food and
water. This shipment is the first
received of an order for 33 of the
animals.
Release of the squirrels was made

thirsty, and the first one as it

life a week, that means in q years
time one hawk will kill 104 units of
game year. In one year 70 hawks
can destroy 8216 units Of game! If
the 8216 units were fox squirrels
and the Sportsmen's Club were buy
ing them at the current price of
$500 each, we would have to spend
4,64S00 in restocking to replace
the damage done by these few
hawks.
In the basis of these calculations
the least we can do as sportsmen is
to congratulate the boys for the
good work that is being done.
The Ohio Conservation and
Natural Resources Commission ap-
propriated $4,000 several months
ago which antedates by many weeks
the request made by the federal
government recently that a nation
wide farm pond building program be
instituted. This plan was made on
the basis of furnishing fish for food
in critical war times.
Farm ponds will especially benefit
migratory and upland game, non
game birds and fur-bearing animals
The water supply can be used for
watering livestock, spraying, irriga-
ting, fire protection, etc. These
ponds will furnish recreation for the
farm family and contribute generally
to the farm value.
The Division will furnish any
landowner cooperating in the pro-
gram with engineering advice, pipe
for conveying the water to the tank
necessary wildlife food and cover
trees and shrubs for planting pond
margins and the Division will loan
the dirt-moving equipment to con-
struct the spillway and fill.
If you are interested in this plan
we urge you to contact members of
the Bluffton Sportsmen's Club i'm
mediately and they will make ar
rangements with the Division office
for its fulfilment. -.
