Stock, ink and design in AAA AND THE FARMER FARM CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM EASED WPB Order L-41 affecting farm and other construction recently was liberalized, according to Stephen Griset, chairman of the Orange County committee. No change was made in Order L-335, which controls lumber. Griset explained that the amendments provide a limitation of $1,000 a farm a year for farm dwelling construction, alteration or repair, or any combination of these. The former amount was $200. In addition to the farm dwelling allowance, a farmer may spend up to $1,000 a year on construction or alteration of farm service buildings. There is no limitation on the amount that may be spent on needed repair and maintenance of farm service buildings, such as barns, sheds, or poultry houses. Any new farm construction for dwelling or service building which exceeds the two $1,000 allowances requires WPB approval. This easing of building restrictions does not infer that the lumber situation has improved. Lumber is still a critical material, according to WPB. Farmers may apply at the county AAA office at Santa Ana for lumber for repair and construction not requiring WPB approval, but the county quota is limited and not all and maintain soil fertility if they do not apply fertilizers. Actually supplies for the last few years have not been able to fill the demand, particularly for nitrogen and superphosphate. A report from the California State Department of Agriculture shows that for the past eight years, mixed fertilizers were used more than any other kind. Next in line was ammonium sulphate and following that selium nitrate. Use of superphosphate has doubled since 1937. In addition to soil benefits, farmers may receive cash payments from AAA for application of phosphate under certain conditions. LOANS TO SUPPORT 1945 LATE POTATOES War Food Administration has announced that loans will be the principal means of price support for the late potato crop at about the same schedules as 1944. This year's potato support program is part of the effort to prevent diversion of edible potatoes to livestock feed or to industrial uses. Plans are being made to dehydrate or can as many usable potatoes as possible during surplus deliveries, so food will be available for military use and for liberated areas. One of the differences in the new program is that farmers offering potatoes to WFA will be required to offer all marketable grades of potatoes in a given field PRINTING THAT'S A CREDIT TO YOU The printed matter that goes out of your offices reflects your standards.

Street Anaheim INTING CONTRACTOR Any new farm construction for dwelling or service building which exceeds the two $1,000 allowances requires WPB approval. This easing of building restrictions does not infer that the lumber situation has improved. Lumber is still a critical material, according to WPB. Farmers may apply at the county AAA office at Santa Ana for lumber for repair and construction not requiring WPB approval, but the county quota is limited and not all farmer needs can be met. Lumber stocks are lower because of the additional military packaging requirements in shipping supplies from Europe to the South Pacific area. Less critical lumber substitutes that may be used in many cases of new construction include adobe, cement-asbestos products, concrete, corrugated iron, gypsum and fiber board, hollow blocks, tile and brick. ORANGE COUNTY CONSERVATION PROGRAM PLANNED Orange county farmers filed their recommendations for the 1946 agricultural conservation program during the last few weeks of May. Recommendations were considered by the Orange County AAA committee and the county report has been forwarded to the California AAA office. Local recommendations were made after a meeting with the county committee and chairmen of the various communities. Weed control was declared the prime project for 1946. All California reports will be considered by the California AAA committee and its technical advisory committee, and they will compile a tentative California practice handbook to be sent to Washington, D.C. Members of the state AAA committee will go to Washington to assist in formulation of the final program. Early adoption of a conservation program gives farmers time to plan their next year's conservation before the program year begins January 1, 1946. MORE FERTILIZER MEANS MORE FOOD California farmers have almost doubled their use of fertilizer during the war years to balance production with AAA war food goals. In 1938 they used 210,795 tons of commercial fertilizer and each year since has indicated a steady increase in fertilizer use culminating in a total of 417,893 years' potato support program is part of the effort to prevent diversion of edible potatoes to livestock feed or to industrial uses. Plans are being made to dehydrate or can as many usable potatoes as possible during surplus deliveries, so food will be available for military use and for liberated areas. One of the differences in the new program is that farmers offering potatoes to WFA will be required to offer all marketable grades of potatoes in a given field run lot. WFA will not purchase lower grades alone. Farmers are assured they will receive not less than announced support prices for their total crop and consumers are assured they can obtain a liberal supply at reasonable cost. Prices of late-crop potatoes which do not store well, or are grown in areas where loans are impracticable, will be supported by other means, supplemented by direct purchases to the extent of available outlets. Late-crop storage potatoes will not be purchased in areas where loans are regarded as feasible. POSSIBLE FARM MACHINERY INCREASE WPB has given farm machinery manufacturers the right of way for increased production by removing production quota limitations for both large and small manufacturers, effective July 1. More farm implements using rubber tires may be manufactured than the few that were approved previously. Manufacturers whose total net sales of all products were $500,-000 or more in 1941 are still required to obtain an approved schedule from WPB for each item of farm machinery and equipment they plan to make after July 1, and they are still required to make monthly reports. All manufacturers are to continue to receive allotments of controlled materials and other priority assistance. The new order eliminates the stipulation that non-farm users must have a rating to buy farm machinery and equipment. All orders for farm machinery, equipment and repair parts are to be treated as unrated, unless they are from a military agency. Mexican Desertions Present Problem Nearly 6,200 Mexican Nationals, brought to California to help farmers produce and harvest study of the physiology, cow and can show allducers how to get more of his own herd.

State Militia No For Men Growing All units of the California Guard have been ordered brought up to full strength by Brig. Gen. Hansen, the adjutant general. The capabilities of Japan bombs, as recently announced military authorities, obviate the war-time period of local disaster and cities. The State Guard has signed special local sponsibilities by the Armed Division to their regularization of assisting authorities emergency beyond local boundaries. In the urgent order to commanders, General Hansen pointed to depletion of men through loss of personnel armed forces or changing hours in war plants by affecting the guardsmith hour drill one night a day.

All orders for farm machinery, equipment and repair parts are to be treated as unrated, unless they are from a military agency. Mexican Desertions Present Problem Nearly 6,200 Mexican Nationals, brought to California to help farmers produce and harvest wartime crops, are reported missing, Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg reported to the Farm Labor committee yesterday. Some of the Nationals have been unaccounted for since the fall of 1942 when the first contingent of agricultural workers crossed the border. Desertions during the past nine months have averaged more than 200 per month, according to reports from the Office of Labor, War Food administration. Many of the Mexican Nationals, homesick for their native land, have wandered back across the border, but hundreds more are working without proper credentials for farmers, private contractors, and other employers. The Farm Labor office is appealing to these employers to report Mexicans who are not under contract and who do not have the proper credentials. Agriculture may be deriving some benefits from these missing workers, but farmers who are employing them without regard to contracts are jeopardizing the farm labor program for imported workers, according to Wahlberg. It is becoming increasingly difficult to provide Mexican workers on farms where they are urgently needed and to farmers who have first call on their services. Captain Pays Tribute to Flyer Capt. Cecil W. Hoff, fighter with the Eighth Air Force, stationed "somewhere England," recently sent a lowing poem to his wife Hoff, the former Lucille daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vogle of Nutwood road. He is making her home here her parents part of the family at the home in San Benito where Capt. Hoff was canon before entering the three years ago. He has foreign service for the months and is attached to a pitial unit in England. The poem follows: A Mission Ends Those mighty birds awake, They roar away with stakes, They gently fold their feet, Outward, awkward an feat. Ugly, close, majestic in it, They soar aloft and ban right, Twenty-eight strong the field, All is at stake, nothing tails, All of them brave, ado fools. That sit in that bird, the Man's" tools, Dairymen to Hear Address By Expert An address of vital interest to every dairyman in Orange county will be delivered by Dr. W. E. Petersen of the University of Minnesota on Friday evening, June 29, at 8 p.m. sharp at the D. E. S. Hall, Center street, Hynes. This will be the only address he will deliver in this section of the state. The speaker has made a special study of the physiology of the cow and can show all milk producers how to get more milk out of his own herd. He is a fascinating speaker, a great research and practical dairyman. Dr. Petersen is considered one of the world's greatest authorities on dairy problems. E. H. Spoor New WFA Supply Head RATION-FREE SHOES OFFERED JULY 9 TO 28 Shoes, ration-free and at prices 25 per cent under those for which they were offered on June 1, are in store for southern California consumers during a three-week period from July 9 to 28.

Marine Corps Has Opening for Men Young men, 17 years of age, may now enlist in the United States Marine corps, according to Col. Frank P. Snow, marine recruiting officer for southern California. "Young men who wish to serve their country with the fighting Leathernecks are urged to apply at the Los Angeles recruiting office, 215 West Fifth street, or to the sergeants on duty in the post office building in Pasadena, Hollywood, Long Beach, Santa Monica, Inglewood or Bakersfield," he said. We oldsters that watch their bravest of brave Grieve, though we know there is England to save. Some will return, some will be dead, Some will be wounded, the victims of lead, All will be older in mind and soul Though they've returned, they've raised the death toll, How could a mortal have started this thing All for his ultimate plan to be king? Darkness of dawn turns into day All those great birds winging away, They twist and turn and mill around ANAHEIM'S NEWEST BUSINESS STORE OPEN FOR BUSINESS MONDAY Continued from Page 1 cott, owners, are very well pleased with the reception they have received thus far from our citizens and in the future plan to enlarge the present stock even more, as soon as more merchandise is available.

County Farmers Urged to Buy Bonds A special appeal to rural residents to buy E bonds and to get others to do the same during the last few days of the 7th War Loan The speaker has made a special study of the physiology of the cow and can show all milk producers how to get more milk out of his own herd. He is a fascinating speaker, a great research and practical dairyman. Dr. Petersen is considered one of the world's greatest authorities on dairy problems. E. H. Spoor New WFA Supply Head LOS ANGELES.—E. H. Spoor, former field relations officer, today was appointed acting western regional director of the War Food Administration Office of Supply, Commodity Credit corporation. He succeeds Charles W. Smith, who resigned to become president of the Commercial State Savings bank in Greenville, Michigan. The western region of the Office of Supply includes the states of California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and the Territory of Hawaii. State Militia Need For Men Growing All units of the California State Guard have been ordered to be brought up to full authorized strength by Brig. Gen. Victor R. Hansen, the adjutant general. The capabilities of Jap balloon-bombs, as recently announced by military authorities, obviously increase the war-time possibilities of local disaster and emergencies. The State Guard has been assigned special local security responsibilities by the Army in addition to their regular function of assisting authorities in any emergency beyond local control. In the urgent order to all unit commanders, General Hansen pointed to depletion of many units through loss of personnel to the armed forces or changed working hours in war plants adversely affecting the guardsmen's two-hour drill one night a week. Uniformed and equipped by the federal government, guardsmen are trained in all phases of military tactics. They cannot, however, without their consent, be called to active duty beyond the borders of their own county. A large number of former air raid wardens and civilian defense volunteers have joined the State Guard as well as returning veterans; Captain Pays Tribute to Elvone All will be older in mind and soul Though they've returned, they've raised the death toll, How could a mortal have started this thing All for his ultimate plan to be king? Darkness of dawn turns into day All those great birds winging away, They twist and turn and mill around Searching the lead until it is found, Southward they soar o'er friendly terrain Like ducks in the fall, an endless chain. Spellbound we stand and heavenward gaze Watching that chain fade in the haze, Now they point East on destruction bent Demons to Hell—to some Heaven sent. The blossoms of black suddenly loom With pollen of iron—that whistling doom, Tumbled and tossed the great birds arrive Over the point for which they strive, Bellies roll open and out of the blue Plummet the eggs of horror anew, Each carries death for hundreds of His Misguided children; barbaric it is Yet, high in the air, out of the sun Look quickly—you'll see all is not won, Tiny they seem and tiny they are Streaking in fast they strike from afar. Some are destroyed, many turn back; A few come through—meteors black; Great birds are wounded, mortally so, Fluttering, flaming, earthward they go, Hundreds they've killed, now they too die, Innocent all, but there they now lie. The giant birds circle and fly West again Leaving behind such heartache and pain, Never so long as we all shall live Will God in His goodness, this horror forgive. The day is waning, "They should be here soon," Those mighty birds are due back at noon; A few hours only have shod away A warm welcome is extended to this new business firm and to the affable manager and his wife, with the sincere wish they may grow to like our city even more and prosper as the years go by. County Farmers Urged to Buy Bonds A special appeal to rural residents to buy E bonds and to get others to do the same during the last few days of the 7th War Loan drive has come from the Farm Bureau. Ray B. Wiser, state president of the organization is chairman of the agricultural committee for the drive and has particularly urged the officers of the Farm Bureau to make personal contacts to get Orange county up to its quota of E bonds. Corporations and other investors have met their quota, he pointed out. Farmers and others who are willing to make personal calls were urged by A. J. Schutte, county president of the Farm Bureau, today to contact the local war bond officials and secure their material to take applications from their friends, neighbors and others. Many farmers are buying bonds for specific purchases; enough for a new truck, enough for a new tractor, or implements, or for additions or alterations to farm buildings. Plane Travel to Europe Available Clipper travel to Europe is now available to travelers without priority, Pan American World Airways announced yesterday. Passage is available aboard Boeing Clippers, both across the North Atlantic to the British Isles, and the South Atlantic to Lisbon, with connections to France, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, and African points. Businessmen and persons traveling for personal reasons such as tracing their families in Europe, are now able to obtain plane seats formerly completely reserved for "war effort" passengers and military personnel. Captain Pays Tribute to Flyers Capt. Cecil W. Hoff, flight surgeon with the Eighth Air Force and stationed "somewhere in England," recently sent the following poem to his wife, Mrs. Hoff, the former Lucile Vogle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Vogle of Nutwood road. Mrs. Hoff is making her home here with her parents part of the time and at the home in San Bernardino where Capt. Hoff was a physician before entering the service three years ago. He has been in foreign service for the past 15 months and is attached to a hospital unit in England. The poem follows: A Mission Ends Those mighty birds at dawn awake, They roar away with lives at stake, They gently fold their ponderous feet, Outward, awkward an impossible feat. Ugly, close, majestic in flight They soar aloft and bank to the right, Twenty-eight strong they leave the field, All is at stake, nothing to yield. All of them brave, admittedly fools That sit in that bird, the "Little Man's" tools, Innocent all, but there they now lie. The giant birds circle and fly West again Leaving behind such heartache and pain, Never so long as we all shall live Will God in His goodness, this horror forgive. The day is waning, "They should be here soon," Those mighty birds are due back at noon; A few hours only have shud away, The giant eagles had left that day. To we on the ground a year had past, The mission's soon over, may it be the last; Eyes strain upward searching the sky, "Wind is bad, they should come in high," Specks in the distance—"Could they be there?" The tougher we act, the softer our prayer. Onward they come, then all of us shout, Men facing East whirl around and about, "There they are! Where are the rest?" Six will never return to their nest. Twenty-eight strong they left the field, Twenty-two only whose fate is left unsealed; Six great birds and sixty brave hearts, All of them dead, they've played their parts. The great birds circle and slowly descend, Another mission has come to an end. Bob Johnson sleeps beneath this lid. He always claimed he couldn't skid. The fact remains he could—and did!
