Not Decreasing
Erop Acreage
There is no indication that tough
labor and equipment problems this
season are causing North Dakota
farmers to reduce their small grain
plantings, according to H. W.
Herbison, farm labor program su-
pervisor for the NDAC Extension
sdrvice.
In fact, he says, reports from
counties show farmers have made'
good use of favorable planting wea-
ther and are trying their best to
meet the acreage goals set for them
under 'the war food program.
Herbison believes this is being
done with the confidence gained
in 1943 when townspeople and
schools demonstrated by their help
in the harvest fields that they
would permit crops to go unhar-
vested. No other factor in the suc-
cessful 194_3 harvest season was
more important than the help from
theSe sources. Business and civic
organizations in many towns, Her-
bison notes, already are preparing
plans to heIp with the 1944 har-
vest. This cooperation from towns
is encouraging farmers to plant
to the limits of their war food
goals.
Typical of the way food produc-
tion has become a community re-
sponsibility is a report from t~um
county where farmers at a recent
county meeting said they thought
they could get their crops planted,
but schoOt~ are standing ready to
suspend for a week or two to re-
lease students in case of emer-
gel~-'Y, and town residents are ready
to help when needed. Farm meet-
ings have been arranged in the
co0nty to inform residents on the
labor situation, to stimulate oo-
oI~rataoti among farms in exchange
of labors and machines, and to
bring about wider use of labor
,saving equipment and methods.

TBUCKERS SHOULD 8END
CERTIFICATE TO BOARD
After May 1st ap01icatlons for
trUCk rations for this quarter will
Grasshopper control plans for
this season have been started in
21 counties of the state by the
county commissioners signing agree-
ments with the Federal Grasshop-
per Control office for cooperative
work, according to Dr. F. Gray
Butcher, state control leader. But-
cher is entomologist of NDAC Ex-
tension service.
Counties which have signed
agreements iclude: Adams, Barnes,
Billir~s, Bowman, Burleigh, Cans,
Dickey, Dunn, Emmons, Golden
Valley, Hettinger, I~Moure, Mc-
Intosh, Mercer, Ransom, Richland,
Sargent, Stark, Stutsman, Traill
and Williams.
"In addition to this action, sev-
eral counties have held meetings
with township supervisors to or,
ganize community committees to
assist in control work ff it becomes
necessary," Dr. Butcher points out.
'"These committees will discuss the
local grasshopper problems with
local farm operators', and aid in
spotting early infestations as ti~e
hopper eggs hatch. Arrangements
for securing grasshopper bait when
it is needed are being set up. Early
baiting of young hoppers is recom-
mended as the most effeetlve con-
trol measure."
The grasshopper egg infestation
is most severe in the south half of
the state.
!
No reports of grasshopper eggs1
hatching had been receiVed by mid-I
April, according to Butcher. Itow"1
ever, hatching of these eggs can]
be expected within a few weeks if
warm weather is obtained.

SPRING FEVER
Many people have languid feel-
ings at this time of year, and give
it the name of spring fever. They
perhaps feel tired after their win-
ter of work, and long to play and
loaf and wander around on foot or
in their cars, and take time off for
favorite pastlfiaes.
Some industrious old timers may
say this is just laziness, and un-
willingness to work. It seems dif-
ferent from that. The human body
feels the need of relaxation, and
the mild airs of spring give a kind
of let-down feeling after the In-
vigorating air of winter. This is a
world of work, and if the spring
fever is not too acute, it is usually
conquered by the necessity of turn-
ing up at the usual working place,
and doing our customary stunts.

An investigation of the wool
situation by. Congress is in pros-
pact. Commodity Credit Corpora-
tion, a New Deal agency, purchased
most of the 1943 wool clip in the
United States and is holding twice
the normal carry-over of wool•
Despite this condition, Defense
Supplies Corporation, another New
Deal agency, continues to buy wool
from abroad. Perhaps there's a
good reason. Members of Congress
are curious to know what it is--
and so are U. S. wool growers.
GREAT FALLS MINISTER TO
CONDUCT MEETINGS HERE
Rev. A. V. Howla~
Ray. A. V. Howland, superinten-
dent of the Montana C0nfere~ce
of the United Brethren denomina-
tion, will bring a series of messages
at the local United Brethren
Church, beginning next Sunday
morning. He will speak at special
services every night except Satur-
day for two weeks, closing on Fri-
day, May 12. Rev. Howland is a
graduate of, and for some years
was field representative of, York
College, York, Net). He has made
an enviable record as a pastor, both
in Colorado and in Great Falls,
Mont., and has a challenging mes-
sage for present day conditions.
The services, which will begin at
8 o'clock each evening, are oPen to
the public, and all are invited to
attend.
Too Much Heat
In Brooder House
Has Poor Results
Better success in brooding" chicks
is obtained when temperatures un-
der the brooder are properly reg-
ulated and not too high•
This is pointed out by J. Earl
Cook, NDAC Extension service
poultry agent, who says chicks need
a temperature of 90 degrees at the
edge of the hover when they are
first put into the brooder. After
;we or three days at 90 degrees,
drop the temperature at a rate of~
1 degree a day, which will bring
the temperature down to about
70 degrees when chicks are three
weeks old.
Cook advises against heating the
entire brooder house to a uniform
temperature. Fix some sort of a
curtain around the outer edge of
the hover• This will provide a
/variety of temperatures and enables
the chicks to get away from the
heat. Also let the chicks run out-
doors by the time they are 10
days to 2 weeks old.
Don't pmuper chicks after the
first week ca- 10 days. If they can
get from the warm brooder to the
colder part of the house and, in
turn, outdoors, they are much
more active, feather .better, grow
better and eat better.

Survey hdicates
Servicemen Want
Farms After War
A strong percentage of North
Dakota boys now in the armed ser-
vices of "the United States. desire
to own farms in home communities.
.This in indicated from the re-
sults of a stabewide canvass con-
ducted by the Greater North Da-
kota Association with the aid of
county auditors, county commis-
sioners and reporters named for
rural townships over the state, who
got their information Srom rela-
tives of men in service.
"Almost two-thirds of all rural
townships of the state have been
canvassed," says B. E. Grooms,
GNDA secretary, and designated
as a member of a committee nam-
ed at a state meeting early last
winter to conduct a state survey,
especially to secure information for
the guidance of the state legisla-
ture, post-war planning .organiza-
tions, and the state administration.
The North Dakota state legisla-
ture passed a resolution of appre-
ciation of the service which brought
to theemembers direct information
as to desires of service men in
regard to land ownership after
victory.
"The contribution the Greater
North Dakota Association is
"through furnishin~ this reliable
statistical data upon which to
build our future land policy for
the returned soldier is one of in-
estimable value," writes Governor
John Mo~es.
"I want to thank you sincerely
for undertaking this great Job,"
Governor Moses writes secretary
Groom. "I trust you will be able
to bring it to completion, or as
near completion as circumstances
will permit. I Would like to thank
individually each one of the town-
ship workers who have given of
their time and effort to make the
on-the-ground survey as complete
as it is, but I will have to do this
through you and the Greater North
Dakota Association. It is a splen-
did Job."
And Governor Moses signed Sen-
ate Bill No. 3 which requires state
departments to retain farm land
retained by the sta~e and its sub-
divisions for returning service men
until July 1, 1945, or until after the
regular legislature session has been
able to adopt a more comprehen-
sive land-for-veterans program.
Mr. 'Groom is especially grateful
for the splendid cooperation given
by county auditors and chairmen
of board of commissioners to
GNDA county directors in practi-
cally all of the 53 counties.
Returns are still coming to the
office of GNDA, where on special
blanks, results are tabulated much
in the manner election returns are
handled.
Deep snow interfered in some
sections, and the canvass was de-
hayed by sickness and absence in
others. "However," Mr. Groom
says, "we feel that we have ~t re-
markably accurat~ cross section
picture of the entire state. There
is nothing to indicate any material
change, except increased totals, if
every man in every township had
been reported."
The summary below gives an
opportunity to compare the results
of the survey in six townships in
Golden Valley county with the
totals obtained in the statewide
