EUROPE: Sevastopol Besieged Their retreat across the Crimea ended, German and Romanian troops backed into the historic base of Sevaatopol, while Russian foreee pressed against the city's outer de- fenses and their aircraft trained their eights on Axis evacuation yes. gels in the harbor. The Russian advance in the Cri- mea K{ghlighted Europe'-s warfare, With U. S. and British bombers con. eentrating on the continued bom- bardment of German industries and communications in the west to pre- pare the invasion path, and Allied forces sparring in Italy for openings the Nazi guard below Rome. As Russia laid siege to Sevastopol, other Red forces encountered stiff, ening Axis resistance in Romania and sontheastern Poland. where mixed German, Romanian and Hun- garian armies went onto the often- give to launch local counterattacks. Diplomats Curbed Taking no ehandes on the leakage of any military information to the Axis, the British government pro- ldbited the departure of any neutral diplomatic officials ~ the United Kingdom and also assumed censor- ~hip of any of their dispatches. In taking the extraordinary action which was approved by the U. S. and Russia, the British explained that any leakage not only might im- pair Allied operations, but also might complicate relations with the countries whose nationals divulged any information. The British action followed on the heels of the Allies' further restric- tion of communications with neutral Eire. AGRICULTURE: Stormy Weather Unseasonal snowstorms and flood- waters sweeping through the great plains area of the West and lllinoia menaced sheep and cattle and re- tarded field work, but promised re- llet to some of Nebraska's winter wheat plantings, needing moisture, Because of a shortage of protein feeds through the winter, stockmen feared cattle would be hard pressed by the wet. heavy snowfall and at- tendant cold weather. In eastern Colorado, heavy calf and lamb losses were reported as a result of a deep snowfall that extended to Wyoming and New Mexico. In Illinois, farmers prepared to move their stock to higher grotmd in the Sangamon river valley as low. lands flooded, and downstream ht Beardstow~, townsfolk anxiously scanned the water gauge as the crest of the Illinois river rose near the 20.foot mark. Lighter Hogs With corn and other small grain diseppearing rapidly on the nation's farms, lighter hogs already are be- ing marketed, the U. S. Department of Agriculture disclosed. With corn being consumed at s rate of 295,000,000 bushels a month since January, stocks were down to Ll13,549,000 bushels on April 1, com- pared with 1,374,748,000 a year ago. Also as of April 1, wheat stocks totaled 217,684,000 bushels against 32~,387,000 a year ago, and oats sup- plies stood at 418.255.000 bushels against 709,170,030 as of January 1. With farmers selling hogs in the largest volume in the country's his- tory, weights received at the seven biggest markets have averaged 13 pounds less than in April, 1943. PACIFIC: India in Spotlight In the Pacific area, the spotlight continued focused on India, where British and Indian troops fought witl% desperation to check the Jap's steady advance on the all-lmportant Bengal- Assam railroad supplying Lieut. Gen. Joseph Stilwell's U. S. and Chi- nese forces in northern Burma. While the fighting in India flared to new intensity, U, S. bombers ranged the length of the Pacifle. hammering at enemy installations on the Kurile islands to the north of Japan, and blasting the foe's es- tablishments at Truk, doorway to the Nips' major Asiatic holdings. Bitter fighting in India occurred in the mile-high Naga hills where the Japs were closest to the vital Ben- gal-Assam railroad, and equally hard fighting went on to the south near Imphal, where rolling plains allowed the free of tanks. NATIONAL INCOME: Record Levels With heavy increases in h%dustrial wages and salaries, federal payrolls and farm returns, national income soared to $147,900,000,000in 1943, the department of commerce esti- mated. With income at double the 1939 figure, the department computed that private industry paid out $80,000,000,000 of wages and salaries. Farm ,income wa~ estimated at $19,690,000,000. Corporate profits of $8,900,000,000 were indicated. As the growth of national income slowed during the last three months of 1943, there were signs the nation's economic activity had reached its peak.

C., representatives of nine automo bile companies and top executives ol the War Production board huddle0 over plans for future resumption of civilian auto output, with emphasis on partial manufacture following the defeat of either Germany or Japan. With the industry's manpower situ- ation easing and companies fearing wholesale unemployment when mu- nitions production tapers off, the ex- ecutives returned to their plants to take under study ,:equirements of materials, space and tools for re- sumlng civilian output, and the time that would be needed to get ma- chinery and set it up. Although no quotas for different manufacturers were discussed, some executives favored a production of 2,000,000 cars during the early stages, U. S. 0IL: More Seen Possibilities of new discoveries and more efficient production meth- ods should assure the U. S. of suffi- cient oil for the future, Socony-Vac- uum President John A. Brown told stockholders during the course of s report on 1943 operations of the com- pany, showing a profit of $35,944,983. Besides discoveries from ordinary explorations and wildcat drilling, Brown said, additional crude oil should become available through bet- ter production technique and secon- dary recovery methods. At prices no higher than the aver- age dealers' prices of 1918-22, ex. clusive of taxation, gas can be pro- duced from coal, Brown declared, COLD STORAGE: Big Holdings Cold storage holdings of meat end lard reached all-time highs on April 1, but because of a reduction of point values, there were heavy with- drawals of frozen fruits and vege- tables. Of total meat holdings of 1,273,- 145,000 pounds, beet stocks amount- ed to 298,380,000 pounds and pork 748,851,000 pounds. Lard holdings ag- gregated 400,999,000 pounds. Despite heavy withdrawals, frozen fruits stocks totaled 161,221,- 000 .pounds and frozen vegetables 129,767,000 pounds. There -were 82,038,000 pounds of butter on hand along with 149,942,000 pounds of cheese, 4,416,000 cases of shell eggs, and 168,036,000 pounds of frozen pouRry. SHIPPING: New Rates Continuing its policy of keeping shipping profits in line, the War Shipping administration prepared new charter rates for vessels taken over by the government. Under the new WSA rates, a basic charter fee of $1.25 per deadweighl ton per month will be paid for nse of the vessel, with all operating ex- penses, including crew hire, borne by the government. Under time charter rates, the basic fee of $1.25 will be paid plus $1.425 per dead- weight ton per month for operating expenses. In setting the purchase value of old vessels, a basic level of $56.25 per deadweight ton will be paid, compared with the present $65. SKY GIANT: Good Time Piloted by the Transcontinental and Western Air President Jack Frye, and the mil- lionaire motion pic- ture and aviation executive Howard Hughes, the 40-ton Lockheed Constella- tion airship flew the 2,467 miles from Burbank, Cal., to Washington,, D. C., in the record time of 6 hours and 58 minutes, Averaging 355 Howard Hushes miles an hour and slightly favored by tailwinds ~at heights from 16,000 to 19,030 feet, the shark-shaped Constellation car- ried 17 passengers, although it has accommodations for 4ff more• Spon- sored by TWA, the Constellation was to be turned over to the army for t~ansport CHICKS: l~ecord Number A record number of chicks were hatched in commercial plants dUr- ing March in the face of a sharp decline in the price of eggs. Estl, ma?~l output is 284.915,000, com- pared with the previous high mark of 274,953,000 in 1943. For the first three months of this year, however, total number of baby chicks was 1.~ per cent below last year. The break in egg prices caused considerable cancellation of orders for young chickens, dealers said, and a surplus of chicks for March was reported from most sections of the country.

Dr. J. H, Longwell, in charge of livestock work, points out there is danger of a 'marketing jam on cattle even worse than that which tide up par}dug plants and markets in handling hogs last winter. In North Dakota cattle numbers now exceed 1,800,000 head, which is about the same level as in 1933 wimn drouth forced a disastrous reduction. Nationally, there are about 12 to 13 million more cattle than average. With this extremely large num- ber of cattle on farms, there is strong likelihood that, by fall, mar- ketings will be so heavy that many stockmen will have difficulty in disposing of their cattle. There is the danger also: Longwell believes, of a drouth or shortage of feed which may force a sudden reduc- tion in cattle herds. This would undoubtedly mean trouble in mar- keting. Recommendations of the college to North Dakota farmers are to "sell the usual cattle crop, which is between 400,000 to 500,000 head, cull herds drastically to get rid of inferiour and poorer quality breed- ing stock, and then sell an ad- ditional six percent." This program, according t~ Long- well, "will put farmers and stock- men on a sound basis, so far as numbers of cattle are concerned, and gives an opportunity to im- prove livestock quality through the process of drastic culling of infer- ior breeding stock. By selling be- fore July 1, farmers have a better chance of avoiding a drouth or feed emergency which is more likely after that date." ~V~ WAR BONDS . . . buy them and join America's victory march[ V-- Report of Condition of FIRST STATE BANK OF GOLVA of Golva in the State of North Dakota at the close of business on April 13th, 1944.

CONCERNED THAT VETS WON'T KEEP UP INSURANCE WIajor source of concern to the Veterans Administration these days is that discharged veterans of World War II, through lack of in- formation or through misinforma- tion are falling to keep their war insuranee in effect. C. T. Hoverson, manager of the Fargo Veterans Facility, said under new regulations any all.barged veteran of thi~ war may re-instate all or part of his policy without a medical examination until August 31, 1944. All that is required is a state- ment on a form available through post service officers and the veter- ans facility, that the man's health is. as good as when the policy lapsed and forwarded with the premium for the period the policy was lapsed to the director of in- surance, Washington, D. C. Hoverson explained if the pre- mium is paid on the due date, the policy is in force even if a receipt is not received immediately be- cause of the demands made on the insurance setup by the thousands of insurees. Every effort has been made to contact post service officers, veter- ans organizations and Red Cross secretaries to acquaint men with their insurance re-instatement op- portunities, Hoverson said. He asked, particularly, that marl discharged for physical disabilities get in touch with the Fargo Vet- erans Facility or with local post service officers and get their Na- tional Service life insurance policies in shape. The longer the delay, he cautioned, the costlier reinstate- ment will be. ----V- SEASON LIMITS KIND OF HYBRID CORN TO PLANT .Corn varieties and hybrids that will mature in 80 days will produce better quality grain and higher yields in the central, western and northern areas of North Dakota, says William Wiidakas, NDAC ex- periment station assistant agron- omist. Semi-early hybrids and varieties, of about 85-day relative maturity, will do best in the eastern area and also in better areas in the central and western parts of the s~ate. A number of commercial seed company hybrids of 85 to 90-day relatives maturity are aL~o suitable for grain production in the east- central area. Semi-late and late hybrids of 90 to 95-day relative maturity are suited for grain pro- duction in good corn growing areas and ea~.central North Dakota. Some hybrids or varieties are better under one set of growix~ conditions, while under different growing conditions or in another year another hybrid will be super- ior, so it is wlse to select two or more hybrids pr varieties with the expectation that growing conditions will be more favorable for one of them. Corn was tested in all the experi- ment stations and in farmers fields in three other corn growing areas in the state. Many boys and girls say they get a surplus of advice, and that an old proverb should be changed to say that parents should be seen and not heard. ~V NOTICE OF SALE OF LOTS. ledge and belief.
