FEED PAYMENTS TO !
PRODUCERS

The Maryland State Office of the
Agricultural Adjustment Agency at
College Park, on November / began
government feed payments to milk
producers to cover the increased
costs of dairy feed. Payments are
based on the production Of milk and
other dairy products.
Maryland payments will be at the
rate of 40 cents per hundredweight
for whole milk regardless of butter
fat content and of five cents per
pound for butterfat
Cream sold by the quart will be
converted to butterfat on the basis
of A of pound OF butterfat to each
quart regardless of butterfat con-
tent and will be paid at the butterfat
rate. This also applies to cream used
by the producer in the manufacture
OF ice cream for SALE Butter will be
converted 10 butterfat on the basis
of 8 of pound of butterfat to the
pound Of butter and will then be paid
at the butterfat rate
Payments have been authorized
for milk production in October, No
vember and December of this year.
Dairy farmers may file their appli-
cations for October payments be-
tween November / and 80. Applica-
tions for November and December
payments are to be filed jointly be-
tween January / and 81.
All milk producers are eligible
for these feed payments on that por-
ton of their products sold as whole
milk, butter, cream ice cream or in
any other form. Payments will be
lower on those products on which the
producer RECEIVERS the skim milk, be-
cause the skim milk represents farm
feed value.
These payments were authorized
SO the increased costs of dairy feed,
labor and supplies would not have to
be passed on to the milk consumers
by the farmer The other alternative
rejected was the forcing down of
prices of dairy grain and other feed,
of farm wages and dairy supply
prices.
Under the feed payment plan the
farmers will receive payments on
228, 100000 pounds of milk this
year. Under the proposed plan to
increase the consumer price, the
farmer would receive So percent of
the price increase on only 194,00O,-
900 pounds of milk

Rich Protein Food

Soybeans, newcomer to the Amer
lean dinner table, are at the top for
food value and make good al.
ternate for meat. Not only may soy.
beans be used in many ways, but
they are rich in vitamin A, when
green, and in vitamins B, and G,
calcium, phosphorus and iron,
whether green or dried.
The protein in soybeans is of high
quality and compares favorably with
the protein in meat. That's why
they may be used freely when meat
is scarce. Soybeans are hard to
shell and these tips In preparing
them may help:
Cook them in the shell for few
minutes; then pop the beans out and
cook 1920 minutes or until they're
tender; or you may cook the beans
until tender and serve them, pods
and all. To prepare dried soybeans,
soak them overnight and simmer
slowly on. top the stove, or bake
them in the oven. Culture soy
beans the same as bush beans.

Waste not-that others shall not

another way is observed by the Arm

eat all you take" But the garbage
pail is still getting too much. The
War Food Administration has esti-
mated that if only third Of our an
nual national food waste could be
prevented, it would be the same as
adding to percent to our total
food supply. That is. If housewife

now throws in the garbage pail. she
buys that much less of other food.
and leaves it in the stores for others

CARELESSNESS CAUSES WASTE
In HUMAN LIFE

''The fact that America is needless
ly killing off twice as many people
IN traffic accidents as are dying on
country should certainly awaken us
all to deep realization of our re-
possibility to exercise greater care
IN our daily activities. That terrible
toll could be slashed overnight il
very motorfst and pedestrian would
merely use common sense, courtesy
and caution at all times"
Keystone Automobile Club thus
comments on the traffic toll shown
n figures compiled by the National
safety Council. Since Pearl Harbor,
5000 Americans have died and L.
900, 900 others have been injured
On the streets and highways-con-
trasted with 21,940 Americans killed
and 65,170 wounded in the most
horrible war in history.
There is the Club statement
continues, another vitality important
angle to the awful waste in human
life caused by carelessness, inatten-
ion and impotence on the part of
both motorists and pedestrians. In
many communities, child accident
fatalities are rising. Parents cannot
afford to permit the exigencies of war
% interfere with the proper safe
guarding of their children. With so
many women engaged in war work
during the daytime, it is more i'm
portant than ever for every effort to
be made to guarantee the right kind
of care for children during working
hours.
lover period of many years pri-
or to the war the effectiveness of
School Safety Patrols as practical
method of child accident prevention
was convincingly demonstrated by
rates in the face of constantly ris-
ing trend in adult traffic accidents.
keystone Automobile Club has been
pioneer and leader in the field of
School Safety and is carrying on its
organized safety work in hundreds
of schools during this emergency

Lift Limitations on
Highway Transports

Limitations hampering transporta-
ton of vital war materials on the
highways have been largely elimi-
mated through legislative action or
by executive order of governors In
the various states this year. In
some cases restrictions were lifted
only for the duration of the war; In
others abolished permanently.
Several legislatures left existing
laws untouched but authorized GER
tain state officials to, suspend limita-
tions, the Council Of State Govern
ments said. In Michigan the COVER
nor, commissioner Of state police
and the state highway commits
sioner may suspend limitations. Sim
liar powers were given state Off
Gals in North Carolina and North
Dakota. The great majority OF
changes, however, were made by
legislatures.
New Mexico not only liberalized
size and weight limitations for
trucks, but allowed issuance Of per-
mits to trucks to carry overloads for
a period not exceeding a year. For
merly a special permit was re-
quired for each trip. Maine like
wise allows issuance Of permits for
carrying overloads for specified
period of time.
Arkansas increased the maximum
allowable weight on single axle We
hicles and lowered the license fees
for certain types Of trucks. Kansas
provided for short period registra-
ton for trucks hauling loads of large
tonnage, and a Nebraska act au-
thorized the increase of maximum
loads until 1915. Size and weight re-
strictions were liberalized also In
Alabama, Arkansas, Minnesota, Mis-
souri,, Nebraska, North Carolina,
Oregon, South Dakota and Pennsyl-
vania.

STATE INSISTS ON RIGHT TO FIN
OWN EMPLOYEES PAY

Maryland does not recognize the
right of the Federal Government to
Ak wages or salaries of State employ.
ees, Governor Herbert r. O'Conor
declared, following approval by the
Board OF Public Works of the posi-
ton taken by Attorney General
Walsh in answer to a National Wal
Labor Board pronouncement on la.
Dor wages
II Is possibly the first time the
Board of Public Works has consider.
ed officially the controversial ques-
ton OF States Rights, Governor o.
Conor declared, but there was nc
hesitance In the mind of anyone al
the meeting in taking firm stand
as to Maryland's position in the mat
ter.
Specifically, the action of the
Board was In approval of the reply
Of Attorney General Walsh to the
Regional Attorney of the War Labor
Board with regard to new War
Labor Board statement on minimum
rates fixed by State agencies for
work on public projects.
The National War Labor Board
ruling decreed that increases made
to comply with minimum wage speci-
fications fixed by State and local ag-
encies In connection with public pro
jects be submitted for the prior ap-
prevail of the National War Labor
Board"
Determined opposition to en-
croachment by Federal agencies on
matters over which the State has
jurisdiction has been voiced by Gov
ernor O'Conor on numerous occa.
sions and specifically and in detail
ON October of this year, in an adj
dress before the Combined Civic
Clubs of Frederick, Md. In refer
ence in that address that has particu-
lar bearing on the attempted action
of the War Labor Board, Governor
O'Conor declared:
more and more our lives and ac-
tivities are being regulated by the
directives of bureaucracies to Q
greater oAtcHt tnuA Wy iuWS Puoe0u
by Federal or State legislators.
These bureaucratic directives in
many cases supersede laws that ac-
tually are on the books. The net eff
feet is that government is being ta'
ken out of the hands Of duly elected
law makers and given over to ap-
pointed officials in agencies upon
whom the citizens of our State and
Country have no direct hold. Such
government Is absolutely contrary to
the spirit of the American Constitu-
ton. Such government, IL allowed
to continue unchallenged, will dc
more to destroy the America we love
than all the outside enemies that
could be ranged against us"

NO RATION BOOK FOR
ELECTRTCITY

Like the nations transportation
system, the electric industry has
proved tower of strength since the
United States entered the war,
says M. S. Rukeyser in New York
Journal-American. ''In spite of the
great and unexpected peak load, es-
pecially in war production areas, the
electric industry has proved no bottle
neck; on the contrary, nationally,
it has done remarkable overall job
in providing light and power for war
industries and military projects, as
well as for regular industrial, COM
mercial and residential users. I'm
like other industries which have
donned khaki, this industry has not
ceased giving regular service to CT
william customers"

FOOD SUBSIDIES

"The key issue in the food situa-
ton today is whether or not subsid-
les shall be employed to pay part OF
the cost of food as an alternative to
fair prices In the market place." W..
G.. Wysor, Richmond, Va, general
manager OF Southern States Coopera-
tive, declared November A, in an adj
dress delivered at the Lord Balti-
more Hotel, Baltimore, at the cooper
ative's twentieth annual meeting, at
tended by more than 400 delegates
from the organizations membership
of approximately 10000 farmers in
Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland,
Delaware, and the District of Column
bia.
1.-THE advocates of food subsidies
propose in effect that the govern
ment pay part of the grocery bill,
borrowing the money to do it," Mr..
Wysor continued. 1.-THE borrowings
would, Of course, be repaid with flu
ture taxes"
In discussing his belief that this
country is faced with the worst food
shortage in the history of agricul-
ture, he pointed out that even If
there is enough food to go around,
the American people will have to
make drastic changes" in their d.
cts. There will have to be a sharp
reduction in consumption of dairy
products and meat with increased
direct human consumption of grains,
beans, potatoes and vegetables

WHEAT AVAILABLE FOR
LIVESTOCK FEEDING

Steps were taken by the Maryland
State Office Of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Agency to make govern
ment wheat available for livestock
feeding in Maryland at the price of
$1.14 per bushel at the car and SILT
per bushel ait the warehouse or ele-
vator.
Verified complaints from farmers
that some dealers in all sections Of
the State are collecting from live
stock feeders prices ranging from
$1.15 to $2.10 per bushel for gov
eminent wheat prompted the State
AAA Committee to instruct the 20
county AAA offices to take steps nee
essary to make the grain available to
their farmers at the $1.14 and SLIT
prices.
Statewide investigation by Leon
ard G. Burns, vice-chairman of the
State AAA Committee, revealed that
many dealers have boosted their
prices above the level intended by
Congress when that body authorized
the Commodity Credit Corporation
to distribute wheat from the Ever
Normal Granary of the AAA to farm
ers in feed-deficient States at prices
based or. the parity of the corn.
In one Maryland town two feed
dealers, whose warehouses are separ-
ated only by railroad siding, had
posted prices of SILT and $1s56 per
bushel, respectively.
In Two nearby towns with identi-
cal freight rates the feed dealer in
the one town was selling government
wheat at the fair rice Of $1.15 er bu-
shell, while the dealer in the next
town was collecting $40 from the
farmers.
Government wheat sells ito dealers
in Maryland at Sill on the Eastern
Shore and $1.10 In the other counties
of the State.
Where dealers fail to make the
government wheat available at the
government prices, the County AAA
ofiices are now authorized to distri-
butte the wheat directly from the
freight cars or from their own bins
at government carload prices plus
a four cents per bushel service
charge.
Dealers are privileged to make
their own arrangements with farmers
as to charges for. bags, delivery and
credit.
Maryland farmers have purchased
100000 bushels. of government
wheat this year to date. AT this rate
of distribution every rise of one
cent in the average price above the
price costs the farmers.
$4,000.

Careful Handling Secret
OF Good Potato Storage

Successful storage Of potatoes be-
gins with harvesting. Bruised, cut
and skinned potatoes cannot be
stored successfully. Dig carefully,
SO as not to cut the tubers. After
digging, allow the tubers to dry and
the skin to set for at least an hour
before picking them up. Tests show
that this practice is especially valu-
able in reducing injury from skin
ming and bruising. Harvest potatoes
only after tubers have become ma
ture and the skin is well set.
For the first 10 to IA days after
digging, store where temperature
can be kept between so and go de-
grees F., SO that any skinned,
bruised or cut surfaces will cork
over, thus reducing losses from
shrinkage and decay. This also en-
ables the entire skin of the potato
to thicken.
After this short period of high
temperatures, store in q tempera-
ture as nearly as possible between
"a degrees and 38 degrees F., with
the humidity or moisture content OF
the air at approximately IS to 90
per cent. If stored below "a de-
grees for long period, potatoes ac-
cumulate sugars and are distasteful
to most people. If stored above 40
degrees, they are likely to sprout.
When stored at 38 to 40 degrees,
shr .likage is small, cooking quality
is good, sprouting is retarded, yet
the potato will sprout rapidly If
wanted for planting stock, when
planted in warm moist soil.
