1000 Holmes Farmers
Execute Plan Sheets

Approximately 1000 farmers in
Holmes County have executed 1914
farm plan sheets, f. r. Trotman
administrative officer said
today. Present indications are that
nearly all the farmers in the county
will make out farm plan sheets for
1914. In making these plans in CO.
operation with the Agricultural Ad-
justment Agency and the War Food
Administration, farmers are showing
their readiness to help meet the
food and fiber needs Of the nation
and to conserve and build up the
fertility Of soil on their farms
through use of the conservation prac-
tice program provided by congress.
Besides acquiring the farmers with
the needs of the nation for food and
other farm products and with the
AAA conservation practice program,
the farm plan sheet provides needed
information for use in administra-
ton of Special Services programs
such as in the field of rationing
farm machinery, building supplies,
fertilizer, tractor fuel, and other
material, the administrator said. The
information also aids the County
USDA War Boards in making recon
mendations to local Selective Service
Boards converting the classification
of agricultural re%gistrants.
Mr. Trotman pointed out that
neither the execution Of the 1874
farm plan sheet nor cooperating with
the AAA program was a p%rerequis-
lite to services rendered farmers by
the AAA through the Special Ser
vices programs. The services are
available to all farmers and cooper
ating with the AAA is strictly volun-
tary on the part of the farmers" he
said. lWf ~ 4sr,

Message 10 Chlairmen
All Surgical
Dressings Workers
From Area Office,
American Red Cross

We have received a letter from
Mrs. Cornelia ID. Wolf Administra-
tor Volunteer Special Services, which
encloses one from National Headquar-
tiers. Both of these letters have to
dc with the present shortage of mate
rails for our Surgical Dressings
rooms. From Mrs. Wolf--quote:
"We want you to see that her mes
sage reaches everyone Of your faith
full workers who have borne the dis
appointments Of delayed shipments
and shortages Of surgical Dressings
materials-we have a great deal OF
sympathy for the bewildered workers
who are urged to make dressings one
week-and the next week are told
there is no gauze. Since VIZ are pow
erless to do anything about it, we
ask your fullest cooperation" From
National Headquarters 1t is q
difficult situation for everyone con-
cerned but it must be understood as
a wartime condition for which there
is no immediate remedy and accepted
with patience and fortitude-the to-
tai number Of dressings shipped to
the army during the year 1943 was
Just under ONE BILLION. The
stcadfastness and devotion of surgical
dressings workers is beyond praise.
They are fulfilling n Of the great
est of all obligations of the Red
Cross to the army. This is written to
them, not only as an explanation Of
certain difficulties but as a reassur-
ance that their work is necessary and
of vital Importance. There we a
only say stand ready to work when
the materials come to US.

Both the press and the home

other things in both houses-Rep.
Renick's daily motion to dispense
with the reading of the minutes;
Rep. F. d. Hewitt's sputtering pro-
tests against amending old laws;
Rep. Jim Browns booming de-
nunciation Of whatever happened
to be opposed to right then; Chair
man Hilton Waits quiet explana-
tons of the effort of the tax reduc-
ton bills; Senator Billy McGraw's
sandpaper soprano voice. Former
Governor Hugh Whites ire when
he felt a proposal would discrimi-
nate against someone and Rep.
Reece Bickerstaff's assurance
that "this is just a harmless little
tidewater bill that affects only
the coast countless which usually
assured his bills passage. Often as
not the members alter found the

to double taxes or enter on soma
project they'd never heard of-but
nobody ever denies a coast county
anything it wants.

Now that the legislature has ad-
journed and gone home, the press
room at the Capitol will miss all
the excitement, and particularly
the rush and stir Of the session.
But they'll miss . lot Of particular
things, too-Like Rep. Jesse
Shanks' loud protests in the House
and Senator Emmett Buckley's ex-
plantations Of his votes in the Sem
ate. They'll miss the deft manner
in which Speaker Walter Sillers
rolled the House along, taking
everything in stride and moving so
rapidly that the lower branch
cleared more bills than during any
comparable time in history, and
without ever M being a public
charge of "steamroller." They'll
miss Chairman f. T. "Scrap"
Voolfolk, and his amiable Eek
plantations Of "this little appro-
priation BILL" which could turn
out to be anything from . few
hundred dollars for a deficit to
the $19,b00,O 900 common school ap-
preparation. Regardless, the House
took Scraps" word for the need
and passed practically every n
unanimously.

Frozen Items Removed

Frozen Items Removed
Point values Of all frozen fruits
and vegetables, accounting for
about 6 per cent of all rationed
processed foods, will be at zero for
the period of April 2 through April
90, OPA announced.
Other important point value ad-
justments include the reduction of
canned peas and fig and plum jams
to zero. Small containers of to-
mato juice IA ounces and under)
we're reduced to one point each.
Minor adjustments were made for
some large containers Of tomato
juice and soups.
With the exception Of frozen
fruits and vegetables and canned
peas, it will be found that most
point values for rationed processed
foods are unchanged. Canned
fruits remain at old levels while
most canned vegetables will con-
tinue to be point bargains.
