The USDA War Board, Washing
ton, on March 10, issued memoran-
dunn No. 248 informing state war
board chairmen that, in the 1943
allotment of corn planters and of
combination corn and cotton plant
ers, eight southern states are to
receive 2,754 planters and eight corn
belt states are to receive 1,640
planters.

Club members helped buy an ambu-

members of the armed forces by the
Red Cross.
Late blight caused losses up to
90 per cent of the 1912 potato crop
IN some major U. S. producing Sec
tions. Repetition of such losses in
1943 would be disastrous. Blight
can be prevented by thorough spray
ing.

By OPA orders effective March 6
and IL, Ohio wholesalers and re-
tailers of eggs became responsible
for grading them to meet federal
standards. As higher sale prices are
permitted on the better grades of
eggs, it will be to the consumers
advantage to investigate whether the
grading has been done correctly.

Jacob Hochstettler Supplies
Market with Weekly
Shipments
Venture Started as Hobby
Eight Years Ago Proves
Profitable

Guinea pigs raised in Bluffton are
making an important contribution
to the nations scientific research
projects and has developed into a
profitable business sideline for Jacob
A. Hochstettler, Bluffton painter re-
siding on Spring street.
Hochstettler who started raising
guinea pigs as a hobby some eight
years ago now ships on an average
of Is of the little animals weekly to
institutions engaged in scientific
work.
When he began raising guinea pigs
there were a number of others in this
vicinity engaged in a similar occu-
patton but today he says that he
knows of none who continued in that
field.
LARGE MARKET
There is large market demand
for guinea pigs and the Bluffton
breeder is able to dispose of all he
can raise. Market prices range from
so to rs cents each.
The correct name for the guinea
pig is cavy, Hochstettler said. They
do not resemble pig in form, size,
shape or color. The two terms cavy
and guinea pig are used interchange
ably.
RESEMBLES RABBIT
The guinea pig most resembles the
rabbit except that it is smaller, has
shorter ears, is more plump of body
and is without a tail. They make
far less work than rabbits, Hoch-
stettler said.
Hochstettler houses his guinea pigs
in a small barn where he often has
as many as 500 although at the pres
ent time he has only $50. 1t would
be easy to house 1000 or more in
barn 40 by Is feet.
He raises the short hair English
variety which are most in demand
by research workers. They are ship
ped directly to the university labora-
tories or in some cases to distribut-
ing agencies dealing in laboratory
animals.
EXPERIMENTAL USAGE
The war has increased the expert
mental usages of the animal and the
demand for the past several years
has been greater than the supply.
One of the larger of the hundreds
of laboratories in this country is
using 1,500 cavies per week.
Scores of hospitals, laboratories
and universities are making serums
and anti-toxins to battle with a large
variety of diseases. The guinea pig
has been found most useful in the
preparation, testing and standard
izing of serums.
The body responses and blood
makeup of the guinea pig are very
similar to those of the human and
consequently lend themselves to eff
fective experimentation.

The Second War Loan Drive
which began April 12-must raise the
astounding sum of thirteen billion dol
lars to support American armies that
are now attacking the enemy. An of
fensive army requires ammunition and
materials that cost staggering sums
of money. For example-one night
raid of 1000 bombers over the Rhine
land takes S375,000 worth of gasoline.
A million dollars worth of bombs may
be dropped in that raid and 10 or IL
million dollars worth of planes may
be destroyed.
Military and other war needs will
consume nearly twice as great a
proportion of United States food
supplies this year as last year.

made several weeks ago on the
IinSiStence of Gov Kelly. who
Icampaigned on promise Of in
IcreaSed payments.
The OutState average viii also
