slow and hard to maneuver compared
to a fighter plane and avoid fighters
whenever possible. Leppla, however,
pitted his plane against Jap Zero
fighters on two successive days of
action in the Coral Sea, and knocked
seven Jap Zeros out of the sky be

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.
Packers contended that housewives
normally refrain from buying roasts
and other cuts which require long
cooking when the weather is hot,
thus increasing the demand for cuts
which can be cooked without heating
the kitchen.
Education of housewives to find
other equally satisfactory cuts would
solve both problems of scarcity and
high prices, the spokesmen agree.
HANCOCK COUNTY

6,500 Garments For
Red Cross
About 6,500 garments have been
made for the American Red Cross
by volunteer workers in Putnam
county, it was learned from Miss
Margaret Kelly, of Leipsic, secretary
of the Putnam county chapter.
These garments have been sent to
the national headquarters for dis
tribution to the war zones.
Bicycle Theft Ring
Feared
Fear that a bicycle stealing ring
that has been operating in an ad
joining county may be reaching into
Putnam county was expressed by
Sheriff Arnold Potts after he had
received reports of two bicycle thefts.
Loyal Sullivan of Continental said
that his red and white bicycle was
stolen Wednesday night. Ralph
Stechschulte of Leipsic reported to
the sheriff that his bicycle was taken
the same day at Leipsic.
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

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.”

stamp will buy one dozen bandages.
