Payments, Dependents
Authorized BY Law

Payments to dependents Of military
or civilian personnel, officially reported
missing in action, captured OF
informed, are authorized by law, it was
announced today by Headquarters
Fourth Service Command.
These payments may be by c%ontinu.
alton Of previusly made allotments, by
increases in such allotments or by max
ing new allotments, deductions to be
made from the pay which accrues to the
credit Of the missing person, according
to the regulation.
Increased or additional allotments may
not exceed the amount required for the
reasonable support of dependents anc
in no case may they, with other de-
auctions from pay, exceed the base anc
longevity pay to be credited to the
absent person.
1t is pointed out that other relief
authorizations in this law include pay
ments of insurance premiums by allot'
ments from pay and provision for trans
portation of dependents and effects OF
persons killed, injured or missing, as
a result of military operations.
The above regulation is in addition
to Form 625, covering family allowance
payments made to dependents of enlist
ed men in the four lowest grades. How
ever, increased allotments may be made
to these dependents to cover an emerg'
ency or to supplement a family allow
ance which is proved to be inadequate
Emphasis is made Of the importance
of soldiers in these grades making Jam
lily allowance applications (Form 625)
since this allowance continues if the
soldier is later reported missing, cap
tured or interned. Should a soldier ir
these four grades have 10 family allow
ance in effect and is reported missing
Il dependent needing support should ap
ply for the family allowance and may
also make application for an additiona
allotment from the soldiers pay, if the
family allowance can be proved INSULT
cient.
Dependents finding it necessary t
make application for family allowances
or for additional allotments and ser
vices, are advised to contact the neares
Red Cross chapter, which will assis
in preparing such applications, or t.
write directly to the Dependency Allot
Branch, A. G. 0. Building, "Y", goth 4

whole grain corn can be fed to the
laying flock and also TO growing STOCK
as soon as. they. are large enough . con-
sumo it. l would recommend 1t being
fed instead Of chops because you do
not have to pay someone to process the
corn into chops. Research has indicated
that there is no advantage in feeding
either growing stock or laying hens
cracked grains. It should be remember
ed, however, that IL the laying flock
has been accustomed to cracked grain
it is not best to switch to whole grain
at one time as this will cause a decrease
in egg production. Grain should be fed
twice a day, preferably u of the daily
allotment in the morning and Y in
the evening. The reason for this is that
if limited grain if fed in the morning
the birds will consume more mash dur
ing the day, which is an important
factor in maintaining high g yields.
"Grain fed in self-feeders is more sani-
tary, and I would recommend this prac-
tice of feeding rather han feeding on
the ground or in the litter. They do
not need to be constructed as the mash

CANNING ACIDS

We call attention of all Home DEM

terested in Food For Victory Program
to a matter of Importance in connect
ion with food preservation. 1t has come
to the attention of the State Extension
Force that certain canning acids" are
being peddled over the state and that
families are being told that the use of
such acids is a safe and sure method
of preserving food. Most of these
Canning acids" contain salicylic acid.
People should be warned against the
use of such products. They are danger
Gus and are not recommended by any
authentic agency OF department. To
preserve food by such methods is par
ticularly unfortunate at this time when
we cannot afford to waste foods.
