DELAWARE'S FARM FRONT ...
C. E. Ocheltree, chairman of the
Delaware Agricultural Adjustment
Agency. has announced revised
rates of payment for corn and
wheat under the 1943 Agricultural
Conservation Program. 1t h s
been necessary to reduce the rate
on corn from 3.6 cents to cents
per bushel. and that on wheat from
9.2 cents to S.5 cents per bushel, in
order to adjust available conserva-
tion funds to the increased partici-
1 patton in the program. However,
no deductions will be made for
acreages in excess of allotments or
for underplanting. The present
program ends December 81.
Delaware farmers may elect to
secure as in previous years soil
conservation materials in lieu of
all or part of their production ad-
justment payments. Mat e ri s
which may be secured instead of
the cash payment for their conser-
vatiOn practices are superphOs-
phate. lime. and crimson clover
seed.
For complete information on the
conservation materials which can
be secured contact your local coun-
ty Triple-A office.
All sales and deliveries of Sc
lected seed potatoes to WFA thru
September Is intended for export
are exempted from price control
by OPA. These seed potatoes are
to be used by U. S. armed forces
overseas and by allies. Purchases
by VIA will be restricted to GER
tain domestic areas in which the
potatoes will be available in time
to make shipments for planting
during the proper season overseas.
All will be field-inspected and tag
ged by a certifying agency before
purchase. The price exemption has
been made to enable producers to
furnish seed potatoes under war
time conditions without losing
money.
Recapping of farm service tires
with truck-type camelback is now
permitted, says OPA after action
by WPB authorizing the use of
recapping material for
hat purpose. Anyone wishing to
get tires of this kind recapped
must get rationing certificates
falling for the service. The pre-
7ious ban for recapping with truck
ype camelback was on account of
shortages; the present supply,
hough not yet adequate to war
'ent further loosening of restric-
ions, is sufficient to permit recap
ling of farm service tires. Recap
ling with passenger-type camel
Jack has been permitted without
certificate.
OPA has ruled that purchasers
f milk from producers for resale
s fluid milk cannot pay to new
roducers more than maximum
rices received by those producers
uring January, 1913. This action
} designed to prevent one pur-
haser from taking producers from
mother purchaser by Offering
igher prices. Where maximum
rice cannot be determined from
he regulation itself, provision has !
cen made for application to OPA {
egional offices.
