FLOODS:
Field Work Halted

Floods and heavy rain sweeping
the country retarded field work and
rail shipments alike, in addition to
causing extensive property damage
and loss of life.
In the middlewest, farm work was
as much as three weeks behind
schedule, with only half the oats
sown in Iowa, and much of that
acreage planned to be diverted to
corn and soybeans in Illinois. Warm,
sunny weather was needed in the
winter wheat belt in the southern
great plains area. Because of blight
and excessive moisture, the south
east feared for its potato crop.
Vegetable and fruit produce en-
route to northern markets from the
west and south was held up by flood
conditions through the Mississippi
river basin. A stimulus to the black
market was feared through the pos
sible diversion of crops to trucks.

SURPLUS GOODS:
Disposal Planned

With government sale of surplus
war materials already running at a
rate of S12,000000 a month, federal
officials were reported to have
agreed upon a plan for entrusting
future large scale disposal of such
goods to five agencies and IL bust
ness experts.
Under the plan, the War Food ad-
ministration would handle food; the
treasury buyers, textiles; the Re-
construction Finance corporation,
land and factories; the Maritime
commission, ships and related ma
terials; and the war department,
munitions.
The business advisors would coun-
sci on how the various surplus goods
should be distributed, but each agen-
cy would be asked to formulate its
own policy of sale through negotia-
ton, auction or advertising.

EUROPE:
Inuasion A1raited

With huge concentrations of ship
ping repeatedly massed in British
ports and the Allied aerial attacks
continuing in unprecedented force,
Nazi Europe nervously awaited the
historic and heralded invasion.
While the U. S. and Britain pre-
pared for hostilities in the west, the
Russians were repeatedly organizing
strength for a new drive into east
ern Poland, presumably to synchro-
nize with the invasion. AS the Rus
slams gathered their new forces, the
Axis armies in southeastern Ruma-
MIA stiffened resistance and parried
Red thrusts along the Dniester river
front.
Western Europe found no rest by
day or night as British and Ameri-
can heavy, medium and light bomb
ers smashed at the Germans vaunt-
ed concrete and steel Atlantic wall,
French and Belgian rail lines over
which the enemy could be expected
to shuttle troops to meet invasion
forces, and German industries sup

BUSINESS:
Oil Supply

Because a tremendous area of
prospective oil territory remains to
be tested and petroleum could be
produced from enormous reserves of
coal and shale, the U. S. need have
no undue concern over future oil
supplies, Edward G. Schubert, presi-
dent of Standard Oil company Of
Indiana, told stockholders in the
course of a report on the firms bust
ness in 1893, showing profit Of
$50, 591 81.
At the same time, President Ralph
w. Gallagher of Standard Oil COM
pany of New Jersey, in announcing
profits of S12l ,327,773 for 1913, told
shareholders that although the U. S.
was assured of sufficient oil in the
future, two principal problems
existed, namely, discovery of more
oil, and institution of sound, world
wide conservation policies to pre-
vent wastage in production.

DUCKS:
Formulation Up

With mallards most numerous, the
duck population now approximates
125,O0O,000, according to figures Of
Frederick C. Lincoln, chief of migra-

Fish and Wildlife service.
Mallards now make up 5000, 900
to 100000 of the duck population,
Lincoln said, with pintails second
with 100000, and bluebills third
with 100000. Marked increases
also were noted for red-headed
ducks and coots and mudhens.
Because of the continuing de-
crease of woodcocks, however, it has
been indicated that the season may
be closed on them next fall, along
with the Jacksnipes.

CIVILIAN GOODS:
Increase Opposed

While congressional lie a d er S
pressed for an increase in output of
civilian goods in view of surplus of
certain materials and cancellation of
some war contracts, government Of
ficials cautioned against any consid-
cradle boost in production over
present levels.
War Production Gar Donald Mel
son said military output must be in
creased in the immediate future and
maintained at high peaks until &C.
tual needs for operations in western
Europe are established.
Undersecretary of War Robert
Patterson opposed any notable
switch to civilian production on the
grounds that it would create un-
founded optimism and lead to rush
from war plants to obtain jobs in
consumer goods industries.

AGRICULTURE:
Hog Clut

In the wake of the government
move to buy all corn in l25 mid
western counties for sorely pressed
processing industries, heavy hog
shipments clogged slaughtering cen
tiers, resulting in embargoes in some
centers, notably St. Louis, Mo-, and
Peoria, III.
The large shipments were believed
also influenced by short feed sup
plies after two years of extensive
use of grain for fattening record
numbers of stock, and the govern
ment's plan for minimum price of
$3.50 per hundredweight for this
fall
Taking note of the dwindling feed
stocks, OPA announced that effec-
tive May Is, the ceiling price on
hogs over 240 pounds would be cut
to S14 per hundredweight, to discour-
age heavy finishing off.

Dairy Subsidy

To encourage conservation of
grains during the pasture season to
provide for heavier feed during the
fall and winter months, the War
Food administration announced SUBJ
sidy payment rates for dairy produc-
ton for the next II months.
Although rates during the next
four months will range from IS to
65 cents a hundred pounds for whole
milk and cents pound for butter
fat, beginning September l and end
ing next March 81, rates will range
between 60 to go cents for whole
milk and 10 cents for butterfat.
Estimated to cost between $780,
100000 and $500, 900, 900 annually, the
whole program is dependent upon
congressional appropriations for ad-
ministrative expenses, VIA said.

needs - but with less to spare for
feeding foreign populations than
UNRRA will request.
Here is the argument that WPB
gives: Last year only about 40 per
cent of the machinery manufactured
in the base years - 1910 and 1941
- was produced; but this year
about 80 per cent of the base year
production is planned. Production is
running close to schedule on some
items and tagging on others. Har-
vesting and hay gathering ma
chinery seems to be furthest behind.
Harvesting machinery is in much
greater demand than the supply. In
this field authorized schedules are,
on the whole, almost 125 per cent
of base period production, but it is
not now expected that schedules will
be met. How far output will lag de-
ponds largely upon labor supply
and the demand of the military for
critical cornponentS

Many Repairs Needed

Recently the results of survey
of repair needs made by the WPB
Office of Civilian Requirements was
owners of AZ per cent of the now
ing machines of the country required
repairs for their equipment, and
that Is per cent of those needing
repairs did not get them; AZ per
cent of the owners of combines re-
quired repairs, and 8 per cent of
those requiring them were not serv-
iced. These were among the worst
repair records.
But il is the belief in WPB today
that repair troubles should be vir-
tually a thing of the past, and that
normal servicing will be obtained.
In Indiana, cooperative repair
shops have been established which
have been a great aid in obtaining
speedy repairs. In few other states
repair shops have been established
as part of the agricultural college
extension services, and farmers
come from all parts of the counties
to avail themselves of these facili-
ties.
On the whole, machinery manu-
facturers are handicapped by labor
, shortages, lack of motors, chains,
malleable iron and castings.
To obtain the best distribution of
farm machinery, manufacturers this
year were authorized to dispose of
so per cent of their output where
they thought it would do the most
good. Twenty per cent was under
ALLEGATION of the War Food admins
tration to supply in areas where
supply appears to be short. The
opinion of those responsible for this
program is that it has been working
fairly well.

QUEBEC:
Overseas Service

Paced by Nationalist Member
Rene Chalout who declared that
any fighting forces should be fur
nished by the U. S., Britain, China
and Russia because only they stand
to gain anything from the war, the
Quebec provincial legislature cast a
SIS to vote expressing disapproval
of any move to send Canadian con-
scripts overseas.
Said Chalout: transcription for
military service in Canada was insti-
tuted because there was supposed to
be danger of invasion. If federal
authorities were sincere at the time,
they should abolish it now since
there is no more danger of an inva-
sion of Canada"
The legislature acted after the Ca
madam national defense minister de-
clared draftees could be used over
seas if appropriate measures were
taken by the government.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1944-05-12
Scheduled Increases

Combines with width of cut over
10 feet are scheduled for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1915, at 1l8 per
cent of base output, those between
and 10 feet at ITO per cent and
smaller ones at rs per cent. Sched-
ules for binders are not as great in
proportion to base output. But the
programs for potato diggers and
pickers, beet and vegetable har-
vesters are much higher.
Furthermore, repair parts may be
manufactured in whatever quanti-
ties needed. Altogether, the farm
machinery industry is programmed
to turn out nearly twice the volume
of equipment it did last year -
but, frankly, the program is not 60
ing to be completed.
However, an indication that the
situation is not as serious as last
year is that the volume of COM
plants is far less. One WPB official,
who last year at this time was re-
ceiving from so to SIS telephone calls
a day from congressman requesting
him to look after constituents, is at
present receiving very few urgent
requests for farm machinery.
There is one certainty - farmers
must give more attention to repair
of equipment than ever before. In
this country they have hardly begun
to take repairs as seriously as farm
ers in England or in enemy nations.
Those who have been to England
say the British are far ahead of US
in that respect, and reports coming
from Germany indicate that fine
job is being done there on the re-
pair problem.
Dealers throughout America, how
ever, have been advised to order re-
pair parts by telegram, and manu-
facturers to ship by airmail. No red
tape or forms are required. All a
farmer needs to do is to tell his
dealer that he needs the repair
parts.
