FARM WOMEN PLAY BIG PART
IN WAR EFFORT

Farm women are intensely inter
ested not only in the efforts to con-
tinue production of food during the
war period but are discussing at their
own meetings postwar plans for ag-
riculture, Mrs. Vera McCrea Searles
director Of the Home Department OF
the Dairymen's League, declared al
the annual Home Department meet
ing in Syracuse.
Around 700 associate delegates
and many other League women at
tended the meeting over which Mrs.
Searles presided. She said 4.O29 boys
and girls from League homes are in
association have worked in field and
stable to boost milk production, help
in war bond drives, made quilts for
the Red Cross and afghans for hos
pitals.
Farm women are actively interest
ed in state and federal legislation af-
fecting agriculture, she said, adding
that last year they sent over 1900
letters and kilograms to legislators.
The Dairymen's League Women's
Legislative Committee, she reported,
took a firm stand against subsidies
and also opposed removal of taxes
from oleomargarine.
Picturing the youth of the nation
fighting for 1t. and thousands of wo-
men working in industry, Mrs.
Searles declared a tremendous re-
sponsibility rests upon those remain
ing to maintain the home life of
America.
Reminding the farm women that
they are living and raising families
In the most tumultuous time history
has ever known" Mrs. Searles urged
them to mobilize the young people in
programs that will educate and train
them for future Dairymen's League
work. She also called upon the wom-
en- to assume greater responsibilities
in local, state. national and interna-
tional Affairs" and to work for bet
ter runal-urban relationships.

How the Farmer May Stretch
His Wartime Dollar!

time debts. That is one place
where he can make his dollar
valuable. A second place where
his dollar is as valuable as ever
is in the purchase of United States
Bonds. A cheap dollar, such as
we have now, buys just as many
United States Bonds as it did in
1910 when a dollar was worth
about one-third more than at pres
ent. Thus, buying Bond stretches
the dollarl If the Bond is kept lIn-
til 1t natures, he has at least one
extra dollar for every three that
he spent for E Bonds. He has
also the chance of getting an extra
margin in case prices drop to the
1910 level when his Bond natures,
This latter margin is not GER
tainty, but such a price change
could come. It did come after
the previous war. If we assume
that our progress in World War II
is at about the same point as our
progress in 1918 was in World War
I, it is interesting to note that the
all commodities wholesale price
index dropped a net amount of
about q per cent in the 10 years
following 1918 and a further q
per cent in the following 5 years.
That is, $75 invested in bonds,
such as our present E Bonds, in
1918 would have amounted to 500
in 1928 and if then cashed, would
have purchased at wholesale in
that year as much goods as $135
would have bought in 1918. The
increase in dollar value of the
Bond plus the increase in pur-
chasing power of each dollar would
have increased the purchasing
power of the investment over the
10-year period by about 80 per
cent. The farmer has this extra
chance to stretch his dollar. Such
dollars would have had an extra
stretch sometime after the Civil
War, sometime after the Spanish
American War and again some
time after World War No. !. The
chance stretch might not come
after World War No. II, but the
Bond investment is a good ''buy"
anyway since 3 dollars invested
still means 4 dollars return for
all Bonds kept to maturity.

KICK.BACK BY THE STATES

A good deal of significance is at
tached to the fact, that the Republi-
can Governors of States were maj
or force in controlling the Republi-
can National Convention. This is in
terpreted as meaning that the States
are making fight to regain their
rights.
But the northern states deny any
underground relations wit h t h
States rights that have been de-
manded by the southern states ever
since the Civil War.
Nevertheless, the position of both
the northern and southern states is
aimed in the same direction. 1t rep
resents "a determination to withdraw
from the Washington administration

that have been turned over to the
Administration during recent years.

FARMERS as a group are fire.
\ quently assumed to be able to
make each dollar 60 farthest and
buy most. This reputation may
perhaps not be deserved. They
have had of necessity, however,
much practice in stretching dol
lars. Their families are larger
and their cash incomes invariably
average smaller than those of the
average family Of the United
States. Now is the time for all
farmers who really want to con-
tinue to be good dollar stretchers
to give careful thought to how
they handle their affairs.
The farmer must get his dollar
before he stretches it. 1t takes
long, hard hours of work on the
part of the farmer and his family
to produce crops now for hired
labor is scarce and often impossi-
BILE to get. However, prices of
products farmers sell in this coun-
try are about twice as high as
they were in 1910 and prices farm
ers pay for fertilizer, machinery,
and other production factors aver
age only about fifty per cent high
er than in that year.
Thus, farmers tend to have a
greater margin over production
costs than usual and on the aver
age should have more dollars to
stretch. Some factors in the pres
ent situation hinder dollars stretch
ing and some help. Living costs,
even for the most necessary arti-
cles and services, have mounted
and taxes have climbed sharply.
On the other hand, the farmer is
forced to spend less for automobile
driving and other travel; he is
forced to produce and store GER
tain foods that he customarily
buys; and he is duty bound to
economic in other ways for the
war effort. This situation means
he has some dollars at least to
stretch. Stretching requires that
he pay some attention to the value
of the dollar. He can stretch his
dollar by paying debts. His dol
lar purchases less of many things
now than in 1910, but it purchases
just as much release from debt
as ever. Thus, it is good time to
pay off debts-especially the long

CARELEssNEss WORSE THAN
FIRE

Ships, men and planes who live to
fight another day can often thank
the behind-the-scenes work OF civil
ian Are prevention engineers for their
second chance. These engineers. loan
ed by the fire insurance industry 10
the government, have given effective
help In teaching methods of fighting
airplane crash fires. They have also
cooperated with the Navy and the
Coast Guard in fighting fire on ship
board. However, these are but high
lights of the far fAung activities OF
the fire prevention engineers.
Since September, 1910, when the
first $1-a-year contract for fire pre-
vention engineering service was sign
ed with the War Department, advis-
DRY fire protection engineers have
been assigned to 665 War Depart
ment projects and have rendered
1850 reports. For more than year
engineers have been making complete
fire protection surveys on the more
important War Department estab-
lishments, posts, stations, hospitals
and depots.
With modern scientific methods OF
preventing fires, the annual fire loss
for the nation should be drastically
reduced. Nine fires out of ten are
brought about by carelessness. Care
lessness is almost worse than fire
itself from the standpoint of the en-
gineer. He has learned how to com
bat fire, but public carelessness
battles him.

SAVE THE MIIlKWEED AND SAVE
A LIFE

Farmers who have taken pride In
clean fence rows and weed-free fields
can take an extra pride in patches
of milkweeds this year. The lowly
milkweed has gone to war.
Milkweeds may save the lives of
some farm boys who pulled this once
pestiferous plant out of their fathers
corn fields year or two ago. The
fiber of floss in the milkweed seed

sail and parachute to spread the

midget pontoon. Packed into life
jackets and life belts these milkweed
pontoons will keep man afioat ex-
actly as we'll as kapok-the material
formerly imported from Java for fill
ing life jackets.
The u. S. Department of Agricul-
ture has been requested by the War
Production Board to collect 1900 90
pounds of milkweed floss this year
to meet requirements of the armed
forces. Since 1t takes three years to
grow milkweed as a crop, this sup
lily will have to come from wild
plants So the appeal to farmers is:
Save the milkweed and save life. "
Plans have been laid to get a peak
harvest of pods from roadsides. AT
the request of the Public Roads Adj
ministration, State and county high
way department in many States are
letting patches of milkweeds along
the roads grow until the pods can be
picked. Permitting the milkweeds to
grow until the seed pods mature will
not interfere with efforts to control
the plant as a weed 1t Is expected
that pickers will make practically a
clean sweep of pods along the road
sides. The pods are to be harvested
for their floss before they break, thus
preventing seeds from scattering.
School children are being counted on
to do most of the pod harvesting.
Collection campaigns are being Or
ganized in 20 States.

AGRICULTURE BUILDS FOR THE
FUTURE

Agriculture might center its eff
forts after the war on trying to get
a larger slice of small pie, rather
than make vigorous efforts, along
with others, to assure a large pie,
says Raymond C. Smith of the U. s.
Department of Agriculture in the
summer issue of Land Policy Review.
but an equitable share of a large
pie would almost certainly be better
for agriculture than an inequitably
large share of a small pie, for with
out efforts to bring about an expand
ing economy small pie is likely to
shrink to an even smaller size.
''All of this is not to say that ag-
ricluture should not plan for agri-
culture itself. 1t is simply to say that
an important part of the agricultural
problem lies outside of agriculture,
and that this portion must receive
attention along with the rest of the
problem.
Postwar planning in agriculture
is really two-fold job. On the other
hand, agriculture, part of a nation
al and of world economy. has to
plan, along with other, groups. to
bring about the kind Of a national
economy and the kind of information
al relations that it needs. On the
other hand, it has to plan for making
adjustments in agriculture to meet
whatever national and international
situations may actually evolve"

National War
Manpower Plan

| Grafton Lee Brown, Assistant
State Director of the War Manpower
| Commission for Maryland, explained
the new priority controls regulations
of the National Manpower plan which
went into effect July l, 1914, as they
will apply to the Elkton Area, at a
meeting with the local Management
Labor Advisory Committee in Elk
ton on Monday, June rs.
Under the priority controls all men
seeking jobs or attempting to change
jobs must apply through the United
States Employment Service Office at
Elkton, Mr.. Brown said. An addition
al effect of the new order, anticipat-
ed by Mr.. Brown, is the retarding of
male workers from leaving the Elk
ton area. Under the national refer
raj plan, as it will apply in Elkton
when passed upon by the local COM
mittee as was done Monday, "all
males will be subject to referral by
WINGS employment service to the
plants with the most urgent war jobs
and manpower needs in whatever
section they go to- and will mot be
able to select their jobs" since the
order is nationwide in scope.
Under the basic hiring controls
adopted for the Elkton area "a new
female employee who is to be hired
for work in a critical occupation or
those who have no tlived in the Elk
ton Area throughout the preceding
thirty-day period will have to go
through the local USES office.
Along with the new priority refer
raj plan, ceilings are placed on all
employers in the area hiring eight

engaged in essential or non-essential
manufacturing, Mr.. Brown said.

Mr.. Brown.
