Agriculture Preparing for 1914
Easing of the rationing re-
strictions on farm machinery, in
creased production of new farm
machinery, and a campaign among
farmers to Keep Your War
Equipment Fit and Fighting" are
indications of plans now being laid
by the War Food Administration
to meet increased production goals
for 1914. Suggestions for expanded
wartime production have been sent
for consideration to state Agr1-
cultural War boards and other
farm representatives State boards
have been asked to set 1914 goals.
The national program calls for a
record-breaking $50 million acres
in crops. Problems relating to Ia
Dor, machinery, supplies, conser-
walton practices, and prices Will
be considered at 48 state meet
ings of state groups with repre-
sentatives of VIA during October.

been set by months for October,
194S. through June, 1914. These
prices continue the general price
level set for the spring crop OF
potatoes at the country shipper
and intermediate seller levels with
allowances for graduated monthly
increases to take care of storage
charges. Because of the large crop
this year, it is expected that po-
tatoes generally will sell substan-
TALLY below the retail ceilings.

Action taken recently by Il
Federal Land Banks will substi-

for higher rates on 9S per cent
of the loans made by the land
banks prior to June "a, 1885. The

lowest at which farmers generally
ever have been able to obtain
long-ter mortgage credit" A. G.

ARE WE AFRAID
TO DO JUSTICE?

BY RUTH TAYLOR

Are we afraid to do justice?
When 1 saw that caption in
one of the religious publications
that come to my. desk, it's impli-
cation-its application to our pres
ent problems-struck me like a
blow.
Are we afraid to do justice?
This is the answer we must give
to those pseudo realists who have
forgotten to remember the ideal
ism which carved for them, out of
an untouched continent, those
realities to which they cling. This
is the challenge we must fling at
those isolationists who ignore the
spirit that created from the re-
sources of the earth a nation self
sufficient enough to dream it could
stand alone.
Are we afraid to do justice?
Must we fear fair treatment for
all men? Must we draw a bar
riero class or creed or color and
say-at this point-we must mod
ify our ideal of equality of op-
portunity and of justice before the
law? Must we deny freedom of
speech or worship to those who
do not think as we do? Must we
keep some people in the shackles
of ignorance for fear that learning
would lift them to our level? Are
We afraid to give to all men the

HOME FRI ONT 7S CAST :
THESE RATION POINTERS
WILL SAVE YOU TROUBLE
BY ANN FRANCE WILSON
NEA staff CORRESPONDENT

Washington, Feb. 20 - Even the
OPA admits that shopping under
the point-rationing system isn't 60
ing to be easy.
Here are eight primary rationing
rules that ought to help you
through the dificulties Of the first
month. They're valuable and SEN
sible, so ponder them well:
1. SHOP EARLY in the week
and early in the day. This way
you'll avoid crowds. get better help
from your grocer, a wider choice Of
point-rationed foods and the best
point buys.
2. BUY ONCE q week If pos
sible. Up until now you've probably
shopped a number Of times week
Just because you couldn't always get
the canned foods you wanted on the
same day. Rationing will make 1t
possible for you to buy everything
at the. same time and get your fair
share when you want 1t.
8. FIGURE OUT your family's
point allowance for each week. You
and your family will have a GER
tain number Of points per person
for given period. Divide the num-
Der of points by the number Of
weeks in that period and spend
them wisely. OF course you can use
your points just as you please-but
remember, after your stamps are
gone there won't be any more until
the next ration period.
4. MAKE OUT a shopping list
and add up the points before you
shop. Put down the point value be-
side each rationed food on your list.
Total the points on your list and
then compare them with your FAM
ilys point budget for the week. II
you find you have gone over your
budget switch to more non-rationed
foods, or substitute some low-point
items for some OF the high-point
ones.
5. USE 8 AND 5 POINT stamps
when you can instead Of 2 and l.
point. When you buy foods that
take lot Of points, or several diff
ferent rationed items at one time,
use the least number Of stamps pos
sible to make up the amount. You
may need your low-point stamps for
low-point purchases later in the
month. For example, on a 16-rGint
purchase, use two 8-point stamps
not three SIS and /.

combinations, you can get any to-

!. BUY FOODS that are not ra-
toned, whenever possible. Buy as
many fresh fruits and vegetables as
you can. Learn new recipes for

Make your own soups whenever
practical.
