JEEPs NEED JUICE

The quandary in which government
wartime regulatory agencies some
times find themselves when it comes
to allocating strategic materials to
industry, is humorously illustrated
by the Petroleum Industry Wa.
Councils recent question: Which
came first Tin order of priority
the jeep or the juice that makes IL
run?"
While the question was humorous
the problem back of it is deadly SER
ious. In order to meet increased mill
tary demands, the petroleum indus
try has mapped drilling program
of $500 wells for the second quar-
ter of this year. Because of stepped
up military needs, the oil industry
NAV have to cut this contemplated
number of wells in half. The stee!
that was destined for expanding wei
drilling, may be diverted to arma-
ment production.
As the PIWC warns, lone thing is
certain, if the industry does not re
ceive enough materials to meet an
ticipated increases in military de-
mands for petroleum products, the
military may find themselves in the
tragic position of having mechanlzec
units that have no fuel and lubricants
to operate them.
petroleum not only serves as the
power for combat units of the ali,
land and sea; it is also potent fac
tor in synthetic rubber for tires, in
INT explosives used in ammunition.
and in long list of various and sun
dry items, including medicines. The
tonnage of petroleum products ship
per from our shores to combat areas
continues to be greater than the tot
.lage of all other supplies combined. y
The petroleum industry is proud
of the fact that all military demands
to date have been met. 1t would b.
more than tragic if task so we'll be-
gun should falter now because o.
lack of materials.

SUPPLY OF FEED
CONCENTRATES AMPLE

1.-The supplies of feed concentrates
in this country are ample to meet the
needs of livestock and poultry during
the present feeding year." G. l..
Leitze, Baltimore, Director of Ingre-
aient Service, declared at Bel Air,
Nd, at a conference of employees of
Southern States Cooperative in this
section. with an improvement in
The weather and transportation SER
vice. these supplies can be transport
ed to the sections where they are
needed"
The speaker pointed out that dur
ing their first five or six weeks
chicks should have minimum of 20
per cent protein in their diets. After
this period the protein requirements
of chicks can be gradually lowered
until at the age of IL weeks a 5 per
cent protein ration is satisfactory
Mr.. Leitze said that the two main
sources of protein are animal pro-
ducts such as milk, meat scraps, and
| fish meal, and vegetable sources such
as soybean oil meal, the other oil
meals and the proteins derived from
the cereal grains and by-product
feeds. A combination of both animal
and vegetable proteins is desirable in
poultry feeds, he explained.
Chicks, as we'll as children, need
certain vitamins if they're to develop
properly. 1t was brought out that "a
deficiency of vitamin A results in re-
.arded growth and general weak
ness accompanied by a staggering
gait and ruff1ed feathers" Vitamin
A deficient birds are also more sus-
ceptible to colds and other diseases
Vitamin D (the sunshine vitamin) is
necessary both for growing chicks
and for mature birds. 1t is required
for the proper formation of the
chicks bones and of the hens egg
shells. Besides, this vitamin pro-
notes fertility and high hatchability
in eggs. The absence of vitamin G
(ribofiavin) in the young chicks diet
results in diarrhea, retarded growth
and nutritional leg paralysis.
The conference was presided over
by district Manager Maurice Tomlin-
son, of Frederick, Md.
mir. Ed Scarborough of Fallston
and Mrs r. D. Hammond of Bel Air,
tied for first prize in the True
Fal 9" contest.

MEAT POINTS GIVEN SHARP
BOOST BY OPA

Ration point values of meat were
boosted sharply March 1st, effective
March 4th, with the overall effect of
cutting another five to six per cent off
the amount housewives can buy in
March.
The Office of Price Administrator
also raised the point value of four
canned fruits and one vegetable,
while cutting the ration price of two
other fruits.
The canned foods which will take
more blue points are mixed fruits,
peaches, pineapple and pears. The
point value for the popular No. II
can for these items is being increas-
ed 20 points-from so to 80.
The point value of tomatoes mo.
CAM will be 80, an inrrease of 10
points.
The two decreases are for apples
and applesauce, but one of them does
not mean anything to most consum-
ers.
The meat increases apply generally
to beef and pork cuts heretofore low
in point value, or point free. A few
higher value steaks and roasts ac-
ually come down in point price to
make them more attractive buys and
prevent them from backing up in
stock.
Present lamb-point values continue
unchanged. Mutton remains on the
free list. Most veal cuts are unchang-
ed.
For those who can find them and
have enough red points, T-bone and
porterhouse steaks will cost nine
points a pound instead of twelve and
top round steak ten points instead of
thirteen.
Hard-to-find bacon, hamburger and
chuck roast (bone in } go up to six
points pound! Present values ara
four for bacon and hamburger and
three for chuck roast. Items beins
added to the point list include beef,
veal, pork, and lamb hearts, sweet
breads and tongue, lamb liver, liver
loaf, and many sausage products
made from rationed materials.

AGRICULTURAL CONSERVATION

RAJ SONoEhN ALVIN
There are no ceilings, quotas, or
financial restrictions in the 1945 Ag-
ricultural Conservation Program for
Maryland on the extent that Free
State farmers carry out erosion con-
troll practices and at the same time
be eligible for maximum government
payments.
That is the word issued by l.. G.
Burns, Montgomery county farmer
and member of the Maryland Agri-
cultural Conservation commit e
(AAA). when it comes to erosion
control practices" he said, 1.-The 1945
program is virtually ceiling unlim-
ited Every progressive farmer is in
terested in efficient and maximum
food production during the wartime
and conservation of the soil resources
is big step in that direction.
In addition to payments for other
practices the following are the re-
spective rates of payments for the
four erosion control practices outlin-
ed in the program:

DSR Provides It's Own Crisis

This policy together with its failure to make its service

largely responsible for the dire straits which the
been placed by the emergency.
An example Of what the bus substitution policy has done

DSRs equipment for 1889 and 1914
IN 1889 the DSR had 1891 Streetcars and 257 buses
1 In 1914 II had 90S Streetcars and 1855 buses.
This Is total of ZIG more vehicles than in 1899.
But, because the buses of 27-Sedt capacity,
tUhe the StyeetcorS they replaced of 52-seat
capacity the DSR suffered a loss of 6,543 seats
IN that fUe-yenr period.
Meanwhile, it's passenger load has virtually
doubled in the same period-fror 33S,3II 900 in
1889 to 652,509 900 in 1914

enough for our money.
HE'S TOO EXPENSIVE -
'Tf the governor wants to ap-
point DIR. Ford TO another job,
that is all right with us. But the
expense In the business depart
ment is not warranted"
Ford, a former University OF

ner to a plan of consolidating

Don't Freeze

Robert II. Hinckley. director OF

issued a very timely and necessary
warning that small businesses must
not be frozen as q result OF delay in
settlements OF war contracts. Many
small businesses must have settle
ment Of bills to enable them to ac-
cept new sub-contracts. They will
need prompt settlement even more
to reconvert to peacetime produc-
ton or lose invaluable time. In
view of the colossal job Of settling
war contracts, immediate payment
will be extraordinarily difficult.
The small business man
should take advantage of q gov
crnmcnt guaranteed "N"loan to
provide capital for new sub-con-
tracts and a government guaran-
teed ~" loan to- provide capital
for reConversion and make the
necessary arrangements BIZ
FORE rather than after cancel
lation. These loans were set up
To- avoid freezing small busi-
ncsscs. Until machinery is cs-

settlement, no business should
expose itself to the risk of being
without capital, in the interests
ofthe war effort. Of rcconvcrsion.
and Of postwar employment. VIC
have made many such loans and
strongly advise that all arrange
