Sugar Beets Rare County Thanksgiving Thanks to several cultural novations which have reduced the amount of hard work requirements, sugar beets serve their way back to their roots as a major crop in Orange County. Sugar beets reached their peak when they were planted on most 19,000 acres. During the cent war years the area reduced practically to zero because of the impracticable obtaining the labor required growing and harvesting them. But during this season shortage techniques for processing and harvesting them were developed which are used in a constantly growing age. From almost zero the age planted to beets in county increased to almost acres in 1946 and this year cause of higher prices for the offered by refiners, the accession expected to show a considerable gain over last year.

DESPIITE HUGE GRAIN SHIPMENTS MANY NAY FACE HUNGER Despite unprecedented ments of United States needy countries abroad, and starvation face the many lands. As a result severe winter, coupled still disrupted agriculture, er cut in daily rations is pect these next several years for nearly every nation continent, USDA reports. We have stepped up our programs, says the dept We passed, in April, the ele lion bushels goal for the ing year. We will probably by July 1, at least 525 bushels of grain and gru ds. As reported by recent paper stories, the food the needy nations continue England—Due to sever- and early spring flood goal 20 percent short. Losses extremely heavy. France—One of the winters in over 50 years out large part of the winter. Roumania—Drought w last year's corn crop, famine to Moldavia and areas. Austria—Suffered seven crisis last summer and e average ration was well Sugar Beets Return to Favor In County Thanks to New Techniques Thanks to several cultural innovations which have radically reduced the amount of hand labor requirements, sugar beets seem on their way back to their position in a major crop in Orange county. Sugar beets reached their peak in this county in 1923 when they were planted over almost 19,000 acres. During the recent war years the acreage was reduced practically to zero, because of the impracticability of containing the labor required for growing and harvesting the crop. But during this season of labor shortage techniques for planting, sowing and harvesting the crop were developed which are reflected in a constantly growing acreage. From almost zero the acreage planted to beets in Orange county increased to almost 2000 acres in 1946 and this year, because of higher prices for the crop offered by refiners, the acreage is expected to show a considerable gain over last year. Publications devoted to scientific agriculture and even non-agricultural popular magazines have published articles recently about two important steps taken to reduce hand labor in beet culture. One is referred to as "precision planting," the object of which is to obtain a good stand of beets spaced so as not to require thinning which used to require a vast amount of labor performed on hands and knees. The other is the employment of machinery for digging, topping and loading beets, operations which used to be performed altogether by manual labor. According to D. W. Tubbs, Ornals: Italy—Even last fall, food supplies for non-farm population less than 2,000 calories a day. British and American zones of Germany—Rations for the ordinary population 200 to 300 calories short of the standard 1,550 daily schedule. Poland, Hungary and Portugal—Ration below 2,000 calories a day. Greece, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria—Average daily caloric intake ranges between 2,100 and 2,400. Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands—Diet has shrunk slightly. Czechoslovakia, Norway, Sweden and Finland—Rations are about 2,600 calories a day. Asia—Seriously shortened supply of rice predicted for 16 countries in the next six months. "BUY SUGAR NOW" URGES SRA "Buy your sugar now," the Sugar Rationing Administration urges housewives and industrial users. Right now, we have the transportation. Later, when our billion bushel wheat crop starts to roll, we may not have. Receipts from Cuba are now at their seasonal peaks, distributors temporarily have large supplies. “This doesn’t mean more sugar,” SRA hastens to explain, “but only that the purchase-date has been advanced.” WHEAT, CORN LOAN TOTALS ANNOUNCED Almost 22 million bushels of 1946 wheat crop went under government loans, says the USDA. Over 13 million bushels of this slaughtered and buried, in the foot-and-mouth disease extermination campaign in Mexico, the USDA reports. Slightly more than half of these were cattle, the rest were sheep, swine and goats. To reduce numbers of susceptible livestock; an additional 75,000 apparently healthy animals in the main quarantine zone in southeastern Mexico have been sent to slaughter. Officials expect that when the control program reaches full swing more than 1,000 animals will be slaughtered daily. About 12,000 oxen, used by Mexican farmers for draft purposes, were included among the slaughtered animals. These are being replaced by mules, which are not susceptible to foot-and-mouth disease. Estimates are that 50,000 more mules will be needed; 5,000 have already been obtained from northern Mexican states. Where conditions justify, tractors will be used as replacements. USDA TO BUY MULES FOR MEXICO As a service to the Government of Mexico, the USDA will, under a recently announced program, purchase mules to replace the work oxen slaughtered in the foot-and-mouth campaign. The purchases, which are on a completely reimbursable basis, will be carried out by the livestock branch of the Production and Marketing Association. While final arrangements have not been made, initial plans indicate 20,000 or more mules will be purchased, under arrangements similar to those whereby draft animals were purchased last year for UNRRA. Details of the program may be obtained from E. J. Cronkhite, Livestock Branch, Production and Marketing Administration, U. S. Department of Agriculture. According to D. W. Tubbs, Orange county agricultural commissioner, both these innovations are old stuff in Orange county where they were developed. Growers here are interested in two more recent deevelopments. One of these involves the use of a new soil humigant for control of beet nematodes. It is too new to have acquired a name yet, according to Tubbs, but it promises to cut the cost of fumigating beet land in half. The other new development involves weed control. The up-to-one-minute beet grower in Orange county, says Tubbs, prepares his field for planting and then waits until the weeds appear and reach the height of about two inches. Then the segmented beet seed is planted. Before the beet seed has time to germinate the weeds are sprayed with a weed killer. Thus tillage is postponed until late in the year. The new methods, according to Tubbs, not only reduce cultural costs materially but promise greatly increased beet yields. WHEAT, CORN LOAN TOTALS ANNOUNCED Almost 22 million bushels of 1946 wheat crop went under government loans, says the USDA. Over 13 million bushels of this was stored on farms, nearly nine million in warehouses. The average amount advanced on loan was $1.45 per bushel. As of April 30, loans on nearly 18 million bushels had been repaid, leaving loans on only four million bushels still outstanding. Most of this wheat was stored on farms. Loans have been made, also, on 24.5 million bushels of 1946 corn. On April 30 of last year, loans had been completed on almost three million bushels. The average loan amounted to $1.08 per bushel. FOOT-MOUTH CONTROL UNDERWAY IN MEXICO About 18,000 animals have been carried out by the livestock branch of the Production and Marketing Association. While final arrangements have not been made, initial plans indicate 20,000 or more mules will be purchased, under arrangements similar to those whereby draft animals were purchased last year for UNRRA. Details of the program may be obtained from E. J. Cronkhite, Livestock Branch, Production and Marketing Administration, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington 25, D. C. The Department of Agriculture expects prices of farm products to remain relatively high at least until prospects for 1947 crops begin to be an important influence. The report points out, however that prices could decline sharply if there should be a recession in consumer incomes or general business activity. The side of the moon which faces the sun has a temperature of about 212 degrees F.; the dark side is believed to have a temperature near absolute zero, 549 degrees F. Everybody reads the Gazette. A A A AND THE FARMER JUNE 30 IS CLOSING DATE FOR FILING ACP APPLICATIONS June 30 is the closing date for filling applications for payments for 1946 ACP practices, according to Roy L. Hale, chairman of the Orange County AAA Committee. "No exceptions will be made to this requirement," Hale stresses. "No producer who fails to file his application or a written request for payment on or before that date, regardless of causes for his failure, will be eligible for payment." "June 30 is the closing date for billing applications for payments for 1946 ACP practices, according to Roy L. Hale, chairman of the Orange County AAA Committee. "No exceptions will be made to this requirement," Hale stresses. "No producer who fails to file his application or a written request for payment on or before that date, regardless of causes for his failure, will be eligible for payment." DESPITE HUGE GRAIN SHIPMENTS MANY NATIONS FACE HUNGER Despite unprecedented shipments of United States grain to needy countries abroad, hunger and starvation face the people of many lands. As a result of the severe winter, coupled with a still disrupted agriculture, a further cut in daily rations is in prospect these next several months for nearly every nation on the continent, USDA reports. We have stepped up our export programs, says the department. We passed, in April, the 400 million bushels goal for the marketing year. We will probably ship by July 1, at least 525 million bushels of grain and grain products. As reported by recent newspaper stories, the food crisis in the needy nations continues: England—Due to severe winter and early spring floods, wheat goal 20 percent short. Livestock losses extremely heavy. France—One of the severest winters in over 50 years wiped out large part of the winter wheat. Roumania—Drought wiped out last year's corn crop, brought famine to Moldavia and other areas. Austria—Suffered severe food crisis last summer and early fall, average ration was well below "SHE'S BEEN LIKE THAT EVER SINCE WE GOT OUR Electric WATER HEATER!"" That's a woman for you!
