GOLDEN VALLEY NEWS Farmer a ole In Helping to Win War Repairing of Machinery, Conservation, and Improved Farm Gardens Listed as Best Methods of Aiding in Emergency. By BAUKHAGE National Farm and Home Hour Commentator. WNU Service, 1343 H Street, N-W, Washington, D. C. America's two important weapons against her enemies in the long war we see ahead of us today are the assembly line and the farm. In Washington in the department of agriculture a war cabinet has been created for Secretary Wickard made up of the heads of the action- agencies--the agencies that are cre- ated to help the farmer do things. "We, in Washington, can't do a thing by ourselves," said an of- ficial to me. "We can't grow a bush- el of wheat or raise a peck of corn. But we can line up behind the de- partment's field men to help the farmer in this emergency. We are now organzed to put our maximum effort into that kind of help." The three most important things for the farmer to do now, according to Washington officials, are: l--Repair Machinery First, get agricultural machinery repaired. SPAB has allocated ma- terial for repmr parts. There is no sign that these allocations will be cut down but there is no chance of increasing them. The farmers got out record crops in 1940 and 1941 with their old machinery. They can't do it a third year unless that old machinery is repaired now. And if it isn't repaired now it won't be ready for spring. 2---Conservatlon The second important word for the farmer is conservation. Get every piece of scrap metal off the farm and into the hands of the junk man. Watch your bagging. Remember we mport jute and there is likely to be decided short- ages. Cotton can't entirely fill the gap because the machines 'making heavy cotton materials are being utilized by the army. Save waste paper, too. (This column is being written on the back of a mimeo- graphed newspaper release.) 3--The Farm Garden And here is a third reminder: The farm garden. Remember that there is a sharp shortage on tin-plate. Everything in the way of food that you can preserve for yourself saves the need of cans. Not only the things that you can put in glass ars but also root crops which can be stored without the use of con- tainers--carrots and turnips and cabbages, too. So much for what the farmer is expected to do. Now what is going to be done to the farmer? In the first place he is going to,, be asked to produce more with less help. Secretary Wickard says that goals in the "food-for-freedom" program are just about right but that they have to be reassayed in the light of the war with the Axis. Here are some of the main changes: First of all, because we are go- ing to be a harder-working nation, on the home front and elsewhere, an increased amount of vitamin- contained strength-bringing vegeta- bles will be needed. The sugar situation will have to be considered very carefully. We may lose imports of a potential mil- lion tons from the Philippines. The Hawaiian islands as a sugar source are uncertain. Much of the Cuban sugar will have to be turned into industrial alcohol• As to production on the continent, the labor situation --of which I shall say more later-- cuts deeply into that program, for sugar labor is always rapidly ab- sorbed by competing interests. The supply of oils and fats is another problem which may require a reassaying of the food-for-freedom program. Fats and oils make up a heavy import from the East Indies. They represent essentials as food and also for manufacture--the oils which go into the glycerin products for explosives, the drying otis for paints, for instance. Farm Labor Problem Of course, the worst problem the farmer has to face, and te one that must be solved before those I have already mentioned, is the labor problem. Young, strong, mechanically mind- ed young men are the backbone of the successful farm. Young, strong, mechanically minded young men are the backbone of a success- ful army. Especially a modern army. The same segment of the population is also needed in indus- try. This brings us back to the ques- .ion of machinery. Farm machinery m more important than it ever was. We know that as Vice President Wallace pointed out to me the other day, and as the last two years' rec- ords show, farmers can always increase their output a lot without buying new machinery if the mar- ket justifies it and if they have manual labor. But they can expand their production only so far without either more labor or more machines and they can work the old machine only so far before it breaks down, unless it has particular care. The farmers of America are be- ing called upon to do agriculture's biggest job in history. They need all the machines that can be spared from the factories now building tanks and other supplies. They need labor to take the place of the boys called from the farm to the factory and the battlefield. Land Army of Women? Already efforts are being made to fill the demand. Among others, Mrs. Roosevelt's land army of wom- en, as one official puts it, does not look as funny as it did when the idea was first put forth. But at this writing I have been unable to learn anything fdrther of the plans for a land army of women from civilian defense headquarters here. And it has to be a trained army before it can help the farmer. What steps are being taken to re- place the brain and brawn which the war is taking away from the farm? The department of agriculture is working wRh county committees and defense boards to establish closer co-operation with national, state and local employment service. The farm placement organization has been expanded. Farm placement services are be. ing set tP in 11 regions. Within these 11 groups of states, placement representatives are being appoint- ed. Federal Security Administrator Paul McNutt has sent out a call for specialists in farm-job problems. He expects to install one in each of the nation's !,500 full-time state em- ployment offices. Although I cannot state anything official on the subject at present it can be safely predicted that con- gress will be asked for additional .appropriations for adult education in agriculture. As this is being written efforts are being made to obtain a ruling from the Selective Service adminis- tration which would put skilled farm laborers on the same basis when considerel for deferment from the draft as are skilled indus- trial workers. Here's an Answer With Logic Aplenty A neuropsychiatrist on one of the Medical Advisory boards had oc- casion to examine a registrant from one of the county local boards. The doctor passed him. But when the registrant was sent to Fort Shelling for induction, he was rejected by a neuropsyehiatrist there as being neurotic. The local board, thinking the doctor who orig- inaUy passed the man would be in- terested, notified him to that effect. The doctor was curious as to the reason, and asked the local board to send the registraBt to see him again. "So they wouldn't take you st Fort Shelling," Dr. Kamman said. "Nah," the registrant replied. "One of those nervous doctors threw me out. Asked me a couple of fool questions and wouldn't pass me." "And vhat did he ask you?" Dr. Kamman inquired. "Well, first he asked me, 'What would you do if one of your ears was shot off?' "So I said, 'Guess I maybe couldn't hear very well.' "Then he said, 'And what would you do if both ears were shot off?' "So I told him, 'Then I guess I couldn't see so good.' " Even Dr. Kamman hesitated at this one. Then he ventured, "After all, that was kind of an odd answer. What in the world made you say thing like that?" The registrant was affronted. He explained patiently, "Well, if both ears were shot off, my hat would fall down over my face, and then I couldn't see." BRIEFS .,. • By Baukhae ] The following letter has been re- ceived by the department of agri- culture: "I would like to get some advice on poultry concerning ducks. I lost 2 ducks and it looks like I am going to loose the rest. I had 5 to start with. The 3 one seems to have the same as the others they get so full of water then it looks like there is no hope please send me some advice by return mail." (I. Cecil Davidson, 18-year-old farm boy of Moore county, Texas, has built himself an adobe house for $120, the department of agriculture reports. The young man is a sopho- more at the West Texas State col- lege, and worked on the structure during his summer vacation and week-ends. Davidson used 2,000 hand-made adobe bricks in the un- qertaking. \\; It Had To Happen; Boat In Basement Minor -- Frank Ratzlaff and O}- ver Walstad recently completed the building of a boat 16 feet long in a basement. When they wet to take the boat out, they ran into difficul- ties. The doer of the basement was too low and the floor too high, so the boat remains right there. They may have to move the house off the basement if they ever get their craft out. RABBIT MARKET HITS 30 CENTS Devils Lake -- Prime jackrabbits are now bringing 30 cents each from produce buyers, the highest price ever offered in this community. The byers resell the carcasses to other huyers for skinning and final mark- eting. The bulk of the meat is used for fox feed while the fur is used for coat and dress trimmings. Farm. era say the jacks are scarce because of organized hunts in previous years. Hogs Mutilate Body Of Rancher Who Drops Dead Garrison--Mflt Smith, 64, an early day rancher of McHenry county, north of Garrison, died of a heart attack while at work in his pig pen. Before the body was found, the hogs had badly mutilated it.

The boys dis. covered a fire on the roof of the house and put it out by forming a bucket brigade. Believed Killed In War, Writes Home Bowesmont -- Several days after receiving official notice from the navy that their son, Melvin, had been lost in action, Mz, and Mrs. James Nicholson received a letter saying he was safe following the raid on Pearl Harbor, Missing Lisbon Youth Wires Folks He's Safe Lisbon -- Clifford Dahistrom was reported missing by the navy in s telegram to his parents, The fol. lowing day Clifford wired his folks that he is safe. The Dahlstrom'" were at a Christmas play when they received the good news. The pro. gram ended right then for the over. joyed townfolks as well as the par- ants .

Istration has stopped the noon.day naps of statehouse employees in the habit of bolting lunch and grabbin8 a snooze in the legislative lounge, It was convenient for the lunch hour is 90 minutes, leaving nearly an hour for resting. Now a sign has been posted, "Do not sleep on these benches." Mohall Delays Plans For Hospital Project Mohall -- Members of the finance and health committee of the Com. munity Chest who had been work. ing for establishment of a commun. ity hospital, have decided to let the project drop until the end of the war. Reasons cited were rising pri- ces, defense needs and the city's duty to participate in the national war effort. Making Restitution, Shoplifters Released LaMoure -- Two shoplifters were released from the counry jail after they returned clothing stolen from a LaMoure street.
