Irick, Delphos, Ohio DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY AUDITOR Allen County Subject to Primary Election, August 11, 1942 al conditions, packers reported. They conceded, however, that some of the choicer cuts are difficult to obtain. Purchases for armed forces also are boosting prices slightly, they said.

Education of housewives to find other equally satisfactory cuts would solve both problems of scarcity and high prices, the spokesmen agree.

Original Lime Is Lost From Ohio Crop Land Hungry tongues of plant roots, the constant lapping of water, traveling downward through the soil, and other factors connected with Ohio crop production in the past 75 years have depleted the original store of lime in the surface soil even in northwestern Ohio where large de posits of limestone still remain un derground for quarrying. E. H. Bond, agricultural agent, Napoleon, tells Henry county farm ers that legumes must have lime and that corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, cabbage, tomatoes, and sugar beets produce larger yields on soils where lime has been applied. Lime in creases the effect fertilizers have in helping crop yields. Mr. Bond points out that all soils should be tested before lime is ap plied because there is some cropland that does not need this plant food and soil conditioner. However, he declares that, although grandpa may be right in saying that his farm never needed lime, the lime so plen tiful then probably is gone now’, and grandson must do his farming under present conditions. The agricultural agent says that any one of the three forms of lime: limestone, quick or burned lime, and hydrated lime, is efficient for pre- paring soil for growing clover and alfalfa but ground limestone usually is much more economical to use. Nearby sources make limestone plen tiful enough so it sells for about $1.10 a ton in Henry county. Costs will be higher in places where the lime has to be shipped or trucked long distances.

Colored Clothes Need Extra Wartime Care By Ruth Barnes County Home Demonstration Agent Here’s a tip about saving color in summtr clothes. Colors are a lot faster nowadays than they once were but let’s watch that new material we buy. It is apt not to be guar anteed fast colors. But just the same many a pretty dress loses its looks every summer because of too much sunshine or wrong washing. Textile scientists say never to soak colored clothes unless you’re dead sure that the color is entirely fast. And they say when you wash colored clothes to wash as fast as you can and to use mild soap and no strong washing powder unless clothes are so awfully dirty you just have to. Of course, you know that colored garments—that includes your hus band’s socks and colored shirts—all colored garments should hang in the shade to dry. And did you know’ that you can save color often by hanging them to dry wrong side out, and taking them indoors when they're just dry enough to iron? Well, these are little ways—just little w’ays to save what you have— to make ’em last long and give you good service during this emergency. The right care counts so much on this war time saving job in the home. Explains U. S. Policy For Dairy Products Ohio dairymen who have been troubled by the marketing situation should be reassured by statements made by Roy F. Hendrickson, ad ministrator, Agricultural Marketing Administration, before USDA War Boards at Chicago in an explanation of government policies for dairy pro ducts. Mr. Hendrickson said, “With the tremendous needs facing us, it is vir tually impossible to have surplus in dairy products. We will have from time to time temporary dislocations caused by difficulties in transporta tion, processing, and storage. The war food problem never will be easy but we can and will see it through. “The AMA began lend-lease buy ing in March, 1941, but it was not until October that the industry of fered enough evaporated milk to meet export requirements. Food space on ship board w’as hard to find after Pearl Harbor. For this reason, scheduled exports of evapor ated milk were reduced from 22 to 7 million cases a year. “The AMA has on hand about 24 million cases of evaporated milk. To export this amount, about 130 large 1 freighters are required. We shall I have plenty of use for abundant sup I plies as our military operations ex pand and we begin feeding a starv ing world. “One of the most difficult problems w’e face in July, 1942, is to get enough spray dry skim milk. The United Nations* needs for roller pro cess dry milk are about 70,000,000 pounds. During three months— March, April, and May—AMA pur chased 75,000,000 pounds, an an nual supply in three mnoths. “We will move much of that but, frankly, the rate of production of roller process milk is more than ade quate. Holdings of spray process milk are very low and it is going to strain us to meet shipping schedules for this product in coming months. AMA is purchasing limited quanti ties of dry whole milk, mostly spray Old Fort Hog Mix THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1942 process. We are feeling our way. “Right now’ the rate of cheese pro duction is approximately 1,000,000, 000 pounds a year, adequate to meet normal requirement:? but the produc tion rate should be maintained. Stor age space is short in some areas and the AMA has taken action to relieve acute situations. “Butter is a basic product in the dairy industry but lend-lease de mands for it have been limited. Pro tein foods are in more demand. Im ports of vegetable oils into the U. S. have been cut off so it is inevitable that more butter will be needed here at home. There is absolutely no basis now for anything except a sober, stable butter market.” The money for a 25-cent war stamp will buy one dozen bandages.
