goal is $4,000 acres, but indications
point to about half that amount, ex-
cept in the northwestern portion of
the state.
Apparently anticipating an in
creased labor shortage, farmers last
fall seeded 2,284,000 acres to winter
wheat, an increase of 100000 acres.
Many farmers are turning to soy
beans because that crop can be plant
ed and harvested with machinery and
requires no care during the growing
season.
Solution of the cannery labor stu
alton will depend largely upon the
amount of volunteer labor available
it was stated by Paul V. McNutt,
chairman of the War Manpower
commission.
IF youths, housewives, merchants,
ministers, retired persons and others
respond this year as they did last
year we should have no great diff
Guilty in canning and otherwise pro-
cessing the fruit and vegetable
crops, McNutt said. Eve are still
at war and need all the processed
foods we can get, he stated.

BlufftOn High Nine Wins Over St.
Gerard, 10, For Second Victory

Hammering out IL runs behind the
steady three-hit pitching of Spike
Hartman, Bluffton Highs baseball
team won it's second start of the sea-
son Tuesday evening by conquering
Lima st. Gerard, IL to 0, on the
Bluffton college diamond.
Hartman's shutout was well-de-
served, for he was master of the
visiting batsmen all the way and
struck out nine men.
At the same time his mates were
combing two Lima hurlers for IL
hits, all but one of which came in
the last three innings.
Except for a scratch hit in the
first stanza, Bluffton batsmen were
unable TO connect squarely with the
ball until two men were out in the
fourth inning. They then uncorked
a two-run splurge when Swank, who
had walked, scored on Moore's sharp
double, following which Gratz singled
to send Moore home.
In the fifth inning, four more
Bluffton runs were made, as the
Lima pitcher passed three men and
Basinger raped double and Gratz

Victory Gardeners Must Now Supply
Vegetables Formerly Grown On Farms

Victory gardens must pinch hit for
farmers who in normal times pro-
duce the bulk of the vegetable crop.
This is becoming increasingly ap-
parent as reports from over the
state indicate that Ohio farmers this
year probably will grow so per cent
fewer vegetables than last year.
Available farm labor will be ex-
pended principally upon grain crops
which should be somewhere near
normal.
Elmer Kruse, state AAA chair
man, predicted that 0hio's crop pat
tern would undergo its greatest

and by allowing the growing birds
to range on grass or legume pasture
which has not been recently used by
adult poultry.
