true of dairy products and meat.
Goals for most crops are mini
NUNS, calculated as the least pos
sible amount which will keep the ma
tional efficiency at a reasonable lev
ell, and at the same time provide for
the armed services and war plant
workers and give assistance to
Americas Allies.
AAA committeeman and the farm
ers, working hand in hand, are do
ing their best to develop and carry
through the most efficient and pro-
ductive individual farm programs
they can. Problems of every sort
stand in their way-labor, machin-
cry, transportation and material
shortages being paramount.
By their close personal co-opera-
ton, however, they make possible
an equally close relationship be-
tween the farmer and his govern
ment.
Americas farmers have ire
mendous production job ahead of
them. Demands for food such as
they are now attempting to fill have
never before been made upon any
nation. Last year they upped pro-
duction IL per cent over Al. Another
5 per cent increase is hoped for
in '43.

Grandma Learns
B|ueprinting in
Aircraft School

In San Diego there's one school In
great building left over from the
San Diego exposition-another in a
church-another even in a once
vacant storeroom. They're crammed
with students the like of which has
never been seen before.
Two grandmothers, one white
haired, the other pink-cheeked and
marcelled, bend together with COM
pass and rulers over adjoining desks.
They are both learning to be me-
chanical craftsmen, to turn out their
share of the ten acres of blueprints
required to build single flying bat
tleship.
''How on EARTH" you ask the Con-
solidated Vultee teacher, "do you
manage to guess that grandmoth-
er can learn some engineering, when
she decides she wants to help in the
WARP"
cts not so difficult at that" you
are told. First we look for evil
dence of artistic talent. Perhaps a
woman has done painting, or draw
ing, or fine arts design. Perhaps
she laid career aside to bring up
family. If she can draw, and if
she is intelligent, we can easily
teach her mechanical craftsman
ship. She is straight on her way
into the engineering department.
In California, where the airframe
industry of the nation centers, lit
orally hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie have gone to school, and are to-
day at work doing precision jobs.
Most of them were never before in
factory.
In an age that has been called
revolutionary, here we have the real
revolution.
The lure of wartime money is not
enough to have done this. In San
Diego, for instance, Consolidated
early realized that the sort of work.
ers needed must be appealed to on
the basis of their patriotic willing
ness to serve.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1943-04-29

and trailers, as well as binders,
combines, picking machines and
other mechanical aids to planting
and harvesting essential war crops.
Facilities for storage of crops are
sometimes another item for him to
handle.
Assistance in the various loan and
purchase programs instituted by the
Food Distribution administration
and Commodity Credit corporation
is made available through the AAA
committeeman. Increased produc-
ton of peanuts, soybeans, hemp Gun
der special program), castor bean
seed, Irish potatoes, and many 9TH
er crops has been greatly aided by
such programs. New applications
for insurance on the 1913 cotton crop
will be handled by the committee
man, and he will in addition keep
farmers informed of the availability
of loans, insurance and payments
under the program.
Program detectives of AAA also
vary in certain instances from past
planning. Emphasis is falling still
more heavily on the need for better
yields per acre. To achieve this,
more attention is being given to pro-
duction practices which immediate
ly increase yields.
About activity in the use of lime
and phosphate, contour cultivation
and terracing, for example, is being
urged. Over three-fourths of 1943
production practice payment funds
for the country as a whole will be
used to promote such "quick" helps
to better crops. In the East Central
region, about 80 per cent of such
payments are going for promotion of
this immediate-yield program.
Production practices, reports
show, are feeling the ''localizing" in
fiuence just as are other branches
of the AAA program. Formerly the
rates of payment for different prac-
tees were worked out on what might
be termed a national basis. This
year the various regions determine
the soil building allowances for the
farms in their particular areas, with
relation to the particular problems
involved. In the Southern region
each state has it's own basis for de-
