new CONTROL
PLANNED FOR
FUEL USERS
OPA ReviseS Plan for AllOting
Gas to Highway
Consumers

Beginning May l the OPA will
place the issuance and use of non
highway e. and "R" gasoline
coupons under a new control. A
test plan in Lancaster county, Penn,
which resulted in a reduction of %
percent in farm and other nom
rations, is being made nationwide
on the first of May, according to
the local war price and rationing
board.
The local board stated that ma
tionwide studies made by the OPA
reveal that much farm and non
highway gasoline is being mis-used
by diversion, and that by tighten
ing up on the issuance of such gaso-
line, more is made available for
other legitimate uses, such as "a"
and "B" card holders.
The new plan provides that de-
livery records be maintained to ac-
count for every non-highway pur-
chase of gasoline with sc" and "R"
coupons. The amount of gasoline
called for by these coupons will be
noted on the record by the local war
price and rationing board. There
after each purchase the consumer
pays for with these coupons will be
entered on the record by the sup
plier.
The record, presented when the
user applies for his next ration. will
enable the board to tell how much
gasoline he has bought during the
ration period. The plan will result
n non highway user exercising
care in conserving their
coupons, it was stated.

at the Glasgow KiwaniS club meet

be subject to change. City officers
suggested several changes, princi-
pally to reduce cost estimates.

DEADLLNE ON
FARM PLAN IS
SET MAY lST
Wagner Urges Every Operator
to Make Himself Eligible
for Payments

Valley county farmers are warned
that the closing date for filing fol
the l945 AAA program is May l, by
Thomas A. Wagner, chairman of the
county AAA committee. Operators
who expect to carry out conservation
practices under the program must
file a farm plan with the county
committee before the closing date to
be eligible for payment.
Operators who expect to carry
out supplemental practices to Ell
range management plan. such as
fencing or building of corrals must
have a range management plan
signed. Anyone who has range land
of not less than 1000 acres may
qualify for Ell.
Operators who have not less than
1000 acres of range land and who
wish to carry out a practice such as
the building of a dam, must have a
range management plan signed. On
range units of 1000 acres or more
where a range management plan is
filed one check plot must be con-
structed on the range.
Although it appears almost GER
tain that the county ALLEGATION of
l945 AAA funds will not be large
enough to pay for all the ~conserva-
ton practices that farmers propose
to carry out, we want every farmer
to have an opportunity to file a
plan and be eligible to share in the
payments" Mr.. Wagner said. The
county ALLEGATION for 1945 is S2l5, 900.
as compared with estimated total
payments of $4,000 earned in 1914.
Since payments cannot exceed the
ALLEGATION for the county, the
committee has established a
list of priority practices" which
will achieve the maximum in lasting
benefits to county agricultural re-
sources.
The farm plan is also important
rs a means of recording the farmers
,ood production intentions, and as
such is an indication of the nations
God supply. Thus Mr.. Wagner urges
Ill farmers to file the farm plan,
even though they do not intend to
larry out practices, in order that
he war food administration may
nave complete information on pros
)ective paintings.
Since farm plan meetings have al
'eady been held in all communities,
hose operators Who have not yet
made out a plan must call the
AAA office in order to do so.
