income by nearly $820,000,000, the
department said.
Cash returns for crops in 1914
reached SS.S01 100000, or II per
cent above the previous year.
This included a % per cent rise in
receipts from food grains and a
30 per cent jump in tobacco In

Farmers received a total OF
S11, $50 600 600 for livestock mar
ketings, a ? per cent increase over
1913 However, income from
poultry and eggs declined more
than Z per cent.
The l945 crop year holds little
prospect for e serious drop in
farm income agricultural statisti-
clans reported Cash income from
sales of livestock probably will
decline markedly because of a
sharp drop in hog and egg pro-

DEMAND CONTINUES
"No substantial change In the

CHARLESTOWN, Ind, Aug. /.
-(P)-A huge rocket powder plant
has converted the charm of the
low, rolling Southern Indiana hills
into devils cauldron to brew
destruction for Japan.
After eight months of construc-
ton activity, production has start
ed at the Army's sprawling plant
near this city, across the Ohio
river from Louisville, KY.
The arsenal. Indiana Ordnance
Plant No. 2, covers $4,000 acres
and when completed will have 500
separate buildings. Planned to
cost $5o,OOO,O0O, the installation
actually will entail an expendi-
ture of $63, $50, 1000, the Army said.
Only one-eighth of the planned
capacity has been put into opera
ton, but other units will 60 into
/ production as they are completed.
Full scale operations are expected
to be attained by December with
between 5000 and 5000 production
workers on the job. Two other
huge munitions plants are nearby
The Ordnance Corps has told the
plant to make the power "as fas1
as you can and as much as you
can"
When construction work was al
its peak, $4,000 workers were EN-
ployed.
Rocket powder has been usec
effectively for pre-invasion bonn

pound is rolled and pressed into
rods which measure about five
inches across. Then it is cut ac-
cording to requirements in vary

precautionary conditions are re-

The CharlestoWn Arsenal is built
in units designed to need only a
few workers during each operat-
ing period and a limit of seven
workers is allowed in one house at

Much of the work can be done
in rooms which are walled away

Buildings where the powder is
made and processed are rein
forced with heavy concrete and
earthworks and earth is packed
on the roofs of powder-press build
ings to guard against spreading

Textile Profits Safeguarded
Under New inexpensive Clothes Plan

only 6 or 7 per cent, OPA estimates
that the saving by consumers will
total hundreds Of millions Of dollars.
OPA asserts, further, that the max
ing and selling OF clothes will con-
tinue to be profitable-that textile
mills, manufacturers, converters,
jobbers and retailers, as groups, will
continue to have earnings well above
those Of peacetime. Should 1t prove
to be otherwise in the case Of any
group, OPA will be required to re-
adjust prices upward.
The cotton textile industries have
been doing quite well during the war,
the OPA finds. At the beginning OF
this year total earnings of 1896, ,000,-
900 for 1945 were indicated, as COM
pared with the $40. 900 900 average for
the years 1886 1889, the best peace
time period since 1928. After the
changes in ceiling prices are made,
the OPA estimates that earnings of
the cotton textile mills will still be
at the rate Of at least $325, ,000, 900.
