CEILINGS ON FRESH
VEGETABLES

Retail ceilings for cabbage, car
rots, lettuce, peas, snap beans, spin
ach, and tomatoes will be estab-
lished beginning April % through
the use of uniform mark-ups over
the retailers net cost, according to
OPA. For each vegetable except
cabbage, the retailer will deter
mine his ceilings by multiplying his
net cost by 139. On cabbage, where
spoilage is greater, the MAKEUP is
1.65 for Independent retailers with
an annual volume of S250,000 or
less, 1.54 for chain retailers with
an annual volume under $250,000,
and 1.50 for any retailer with an
annual volume over $250,000. Re-
tailers will determine their CELL
ings each Thursday by applying
given mark-ups to the net cost of
the vegetables based on the largest
single purchase of the preceding
week

The steam pressure Gamer is the
only method recommended by the
L. S. Department of Agriculture
for preserving certain types of veg
etables. Such vegetables as beans,
peas. corn, spinach. and asparagus,
as we'll as meats, should be cooked
in a steam pressure Gamer to kill
organisms which cause food to spoil
Fruits and tomatoes, rhubard, and
picked beets may be safely canned

To be safe. these products should be
boiled for at least ten minutes be-
fore they are eaten or tasted, sven
though there is no sign of spoilage
when the jar is opened.

Farm Workers

The U. s. Senate has ordered
draft deferments for all farmers
who work substantially full time in
raising essential crops by voting, SO
to "a, for bill opposed by the War
Department and the Selective Ser
vice and denounced by its foes as
IAN open invitation to draft dod-
gers"
Sponsored by farm bloc, the bill
was passed by the Senate at the end
of six days of debate.
Twenty-seven Republicans, 2'2
Democrats and one Progressive voted
for the measure; nine Republicans
and Is Democrats opposed it. Some
of those who supported the bill said
they did so reluctantly because lit
is almost too late to do any good"
others predicted it would provoke
demands for blanket deferments for
fathers, skilled mechanics and other
special groups.
In effect, the bill freezes farm
workers to their jobs by providing
that they must be reclassified for
military service if they leave the
farms without the approval of local
draft boards. The boards are per-
mitted to defer farmers for some
other occupations found to be "in
the best interests of the war effort"

FOREST FIRES

Forest fires, for which the spring
season will soon open in north-cen-
trail Maryland, can in more ways
than one threaten our war effort be-
yond the aid given our enemies by
the destruction of essential timber,
warns State Forester Joseph F.
Kaylor in a special announcement
made today. AS defined by Mr.. Kay
lor. north-central Maryland COM
prises Baltimore, Hartford, Cecil,
Carroll, Kent, and Queen Anne
Counties.
In this section, especially in Balti-
more, Hartford, and Cecil Counties.
Mr.. Kaylor points out, are concen-
trated a large number of war indus
try plants and Army installations,
any or all of which might very well
be endangered by forest fires. So
serious, in fact, is the situation that
the Army has declared this section
of the State critical area, in
which all possible means must be
employed to prevent forest fires and
all speed made to extinguish those
that start. A fire that was allowed
to gain Roadway here, says Mr.. Kay
lor, could develop into a wartime
calamity of the first order.
Ninety-eight percent of all forest
fires, says Mr.. Kaylor, are man
made. BY far the greatest number
in Maryland can be attributed to the
careless smoker who losses lighted
cigarette or match into dry brush
either in the woods or as he walks
or drives along the road, and to the
landowner who burns brush without
first taking proper precautions to
prevent the fires spread. In this
time of crisis, every citizen is urged
by Mr.. Kaylor to constitute himself
or herself a forest guardian, and in
the matter of care and forethought
set an example in safety for others
to follow. He should be sure that
his cigarette or match is out before
he throws it away, and that the to-
bacco from his pipe is extinguished
when he knocks it on the ground.
No camp fire built in the woods
should ever be left until it is en-
tirely out. Before he starts to burn
brush, the landowner should apply
to the nearest State forest warden
for a pamphlet which tells him how
to set out a fire without danger to
his own property and to that of his
neighbors. Or he may obtain this
information from District Forester :
A. r. Bond, 112 Main Street, Bel
Air, Maryland.
