Bowles AsksFor
Extension Of OPA
Appeals To Congress Fox
Continuation OF Price
Control Program

Washington (FP). - Asserting that
OPA had held the line on the cost of
living, for the past II months, OPA
head Chester Bowles March 10 asked
congress to extend the price control
program as it now stands.
Bowles' appeal was the first major
move by the administration in the
pending congressional battle on price
control and subsidies. The OPA chief
was the first witness to appear before
the senate banking and currency COM
mittee as it opened public hearings on
legislation to continue for one year
the life of OPA, which expires June
So
Addressing packed hearing room,
Bowles docllmented his plea for con-
tinuation of OPA with a series of
colored charts and posters contrasting
price control in the two world wars
and tracing the development of OPA.
He used official government figures,
based on data compiled by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics and the Depart
ment of Commerce.
While concedng that mistakes in
administration had been made, Bowles
declared that the job that has been
done by the OPA will, l believe be
recognized as one of the best jobs done
during the war"
He offered these figures as OPAs
record of achievement There is nc
blinking the fact that ; IS of the rise

price control act; that since May 194-

risen only 10; that since last April

Bowles disputed arguments of price
control foes that OPA had worked I'm
due hardship on business. 'Since 1899
corporation profits before taxes have
increased from 5.3% to % billions, OF

Illinois Farmers Save
Over Half of Incomes

Increased savings and income tax
payments were the major changes
in the 1913 wartime pattern of saw
ing and spending from the pattern
in 1912 as shown in records just
summarized for $40 Illinois farm
families, according to Mrs. Ruth C.
Freeman and Miss Irene Crouch,
home economists, Illinois college of
agriculture.
The saving and spending pattern
changed radically in 1943 from the
prewar year 1941. Although the
amount spent for family living was
IA per cent more than the amount
spent in 1941, on the average fami-
lies bought less commodities and
services because prices had gone up
considerably more-29 per cent
than the IA per cent increased
spending.
Net money receipts averaged
S5,141, which was Al per cent more
than the amount available in 1912
and SO per cent more than in l941.
Outstanding feature in the war;
time use of net money receipts by
these $40 families was the large pro-
portion used for savings-from 10
per cent on the under-S1 ,0OO-
money-receipts level to 60 per cent
on the 5,000-and-over level. Aver
age for the whole group was SO per
cent. Savings included on the aver
age three per cent for life insur-
ance premiums, Is per cent for war
bond purchases, 20 per cent for debt
retirement and Is per cent for new
investments.
Not all the savings can be inter-
preted as financial progress, the
home economists point out, be-
cause scarcity of new goods has
prevented normal requirements
Thus the total depreciation in farm
and home inventories was much
greater than requirements.

November to July in the matter of
winter wheat, the hundreds of thou
sands of individual reporters then
furnish information on the progress
of growth to the field offices, with
the board carefully checking on the
whole national picture.
In forming their conclusions, Bor-
muth said, the field offices follow a
highly technical procedure, apply
ing their own experiences against
the estimates of the individual re-
porters, and considering such fac
tors as moisture and insects in their
calculations In receiving this data.
the board itself then passes its own
judgment on the basis of its own
overall information.
AS a further base for figuring,
the U. S. census bureaus dicennial
statistics are used as an indicator
of what may be expected in long
range crop development.
AS could be expected, the field di-
rectors compiling state reports
must contend with many incon-
sistencies in formulating data. A
few individual reporters may SUBJ
init outlandish estimates, or then
again, some groups may purposely
make low projections. In addition,
the crop reporting service must be
careful to cover all areas in which
given crop is grown, to balance
the estimates between them all so
as to strike a true picture.
Another complicating factor, Bor-
muth said, is the reporting on new
crops, where the board cannot be
guided by past experience. In all of
its reporting activity, however, the
board is being constantly assisted
by the USDA's experimental sta
tons at Ames, Iowa, and Raleigh,
N. c., where new procedures are in
development.
In the case of special crops, Bor-
muth said, the board works hand in
hand with grower groups or trade
associations in arriving at compre-
hensive figures.
During the present world conflict
when food assumes major role in
total war, the USDA's crop report
ing service has been of invaluable
assistance to government agencies
charged with the strategic planning
of production. Through this serv-
ice, for instance, the government
has been able to make a compre-
hensive ALLEGATION of farm ma
chinery to certain areas.

USDA's Crop Forecasts Based
On Reports From 800, Farmers
Voluntary Information
Comes From Every State
By AL JEDLICKA

There might be lot of fancy fig
uring involved in the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture's crop reporting,
released to a waiting press to be
flashed around the country, they are
of real value to farmers in planning
acreage and studying the markets,
and of interest to business in plot
ting sales of machinery or process
ing equipment, etc.
Because some INSCRIPTIONS
spectators once pulled the blinds
aside to listen in on the figuring of
the crop reporting board, the latter's
meetings are now held in the ut
most secrecy, with members
secluded behind locked doors and
sealed blinds and compelled to bring
their own lunches. Before the indi-
vidual state reports are brought in
to the board, only the latter's chair
man and the Secretary of Agricul-
ture have access to them.
The largest organization of its
kind in the world, and a model for
other countries, the USDA's crop
reporting board is extraordinarily
unique in that it relies upon the
voluntary cooperation of some $780,
600 farmers. Although their eff
forts prove of profit to themselves,
many look upon the work as the
highest responsibility.
According to Dale Bormuth of the
USDA's Chicago office, the crop re-
porting board, working through its
Al field headquarters, receives its
March acreage estimates through
state assessors or inquiries of farm
ers representative of their sections.
As result of the studies of
acreage intentions, farmers may be
inclined to change crop plans.
The June report establishes the
acreage actually planted, Bormuth
said, and these figures serve as the
basis for future estimates.
Following the establishment of
the acreage, the next important step
is the forecast of the yield, with the
individual reporters asked to state
their normal crops if weather condi-
tons were good and insect damage
under control.

of field and truck crops, and from

A husband was he Of conventional

With faults and with virtues in

To hew to the line of perfection
To fit him to pattern of tight and

In spite of his stubborn objection.
He still kept his faults, and was SGT

He would do things he knew that

He still was the reason his wife's

Invitations to party, whether
they be for dinner, supper, dane
ing or any other kind should be care
fully considered.
Be sure your guest list is not too
large. This can be gagged by the
size of your home, the amount of
help you have, and your appoint
ments. If you have list of twelve,
better cut it to ten and be sure.
Select your guests in relation to
one another. Choose some for their
brilliant conversation and some for
their decorative assets, but be sure
they are all interested in some one
thing, so they will have a common
ground on which to meet.
The telephone is usually the best
medium for conveying invitations.
It's informal and friendly, giving a
personal touch to your invitation.
OF course, there are times when the
telephone doesn't fill the need. But
then, you may write, using either
your visiting card or one of the new
informal" cards containing your
name and address.

Nail Polish Nonsense.

Nail Polish Nonsense.
It's long time since we've talked
about nail polish in this column!
But that doesn't mean that the teens

especially when the finger tips are
painted to match their own nails.
And-have you seen that cute cellu-
loid barrette that looks like two
hands? Buy one for your George
Washington hair-do and don't forget
to color the finger tips to match your
own nails.
Stop and Go-Nothing like confus-
ing your public by painting a circle
of green nail polish on the heel of
one huarache, and a circle of red
on the other.
Mix Your Colors-Don't throw
away the dregs of used nail polish
bottles. Mix 'em all together; thin
the mixture, if necessary, with few
drops of remover; then use on your
nails. You will have a truly Elk

Returning to the capital after a
week in the wilds while Hitler's mad
dream of empire was melting, it is
hard to adjust the ear, caressed by
the whisper of mountain brooks and
signs Of the wind in the pines, to
the staccato click of the newsletter.
Natures sounds are organ-sounds,
rising, falling, not sharp and metal
lic-even the crack of the lightning
merges into its obligato of thunder.
Today as I pulled the first sheet of
text from the teletype with its con-
tinuously exciting recital of the end
of an epoch-it occurred to me that
epochs, like the manifestations of
nature, have no sudden ends, they
may seem to disappear like a river
which plunges under ground. But
they are bound to appear again.
Today we have evidence that the
two forces which have sprung from
two opposing elements in Germany,
as I reported in an earlier column,
are attempting like the lost rivers
to seek a course below the surface.
The Prussian military caste, purged
as it has been and soon doubtless
to be stripped of its one source of
income, the great estates of East
and West Prussia, will surely try to
continue it's existence in refugee
colonies. This is not a new phe-
nomenon. The followers of de-
throned kings have done this in the
past.
Where and how will this group
seek to keep alive the will to achieve
such a goal? Time is not the essence
of what they believe to be their
contract with destiny. They can
wait generations, centuries. All they
need is space, space in which, I'M
disturbed, they can propagate their
kind and their faith.
And as the thinned ranks of Ger
man Junkerdom (only a tiny per-
centage of the German people) des-
perately plan their future an even
more desperate group, at the other
end of the social spectrum, plans
theirs. The Nazis have demon
strated that it was not Germany as
a nation or Germans as people in
whom they were interested, but both
as means to the creation of a
great, brutal, sweeping movement
followers of an idol and an theology.
The fanatical Nazi spirit will try
to hide and live and rise again.
Where, in all the world, can these
two movements find asylum? Not in
Germany's neighbor states where
hatreds have been sown which will
take a century to cure. 1t is highly
probable that the republican ele-
ments in Spain will gain the ascend
ancy and give short shrift to the
former friends of Franco. Sweden
surely, having maintained neu-
trality in this war, is too wise to
harbor either group. Turkey per-
haps.
Where else might a German go
and face least resentment? 1t is
natural to answer with the name of
the nation which was least willing
to join in a solid anti-Axis combine
