PURCHASE ORDER
AIDS SMALL FARMER
Formerly PMA)

The family farm. that is, the
small farm with limited financial
resources, is. especially benefited
by the provision under the Agri-
cultural Conservation Program for
the use of purchase orders in OBJ
tanning conservation materials and
services. 1t has been brought out
that although the use of the pur-
chase orders is not limited to any
size Of farm. it does fit more par
ticularly into the needs of the
small farmers.
The purchase order. in actual
operation, amounts to an advance
OF the ACP share of the cost of
materials and services to be used
Otherwise. the farmer would pay
for these materials and services
and be reimbursed for the ACP
share several months later. The
program is especially designed to
aid those who cannot wait for re-
endorsement who would otherwise
not carry out needed conservation
practices.
To Illustrate how it works. the
County ASC Committee issues pur-
chase orders to participating far
merS who request them for eligi-
BILE practices. The purchase order
then is taken to the dealer who
supplies the conservation mate
rialS or the contractor or indivi-
dual who can supply the services
needed. The difference between the
amount of the purchase order and
the total cost is borne by the far
mer.
BRIEFS
Cotton: Surveys show that
American women are still bic con-
Sumers of cotton materials. This
preference has increased during
the past few years, despite the big
production of other fabrics.
Chickens: U. S. farmers plan to
raise Is percent fewer chickens
for laying flock replacement than
last year, according to their Feb
rUary intentions. Small hatch
early this spring will mean fewer
pullets laying eggs next fall.
Wheat Sales under the Inter
national Wheat Agreement for the
period March 2-8 amounted to l.
100000 bushels. Korea, the Repub-
lie of the Philippines, and the
Netherlands were the principal
importers, Cumulative sales since
June 1854 now total 1109 million
bushels
School Lunch Program: IL ,000.-
600 children participated in the
National School Lunch Program
in November, 1854.

It has been most gratifying to

could sit down and put in a order
for Game Wardens, I would have
Montana stated with men of Har-
Odds pattern. His rare sense of hui
NOR, his cooperative spirit and
congenial way of doing were quail
tiles which we will not soon for
get.
Your suggestion that the Crane

Harold is very good and in which
1 concur as I had the same
thought while driving back from

You folks have been most CO.
