BROWN Member o f Congress, Seventh Ohio District The Government's drive fo r scrap metal has been more successful than at fir s t indicated. Incidentally, a con­ siderable amount o f scrap rubber has been obtained, altho the. President's scrap rubber collection d riv e . just closed a few weeks ago. A steady and continuous flow o f scrap.iron to -the steel mills o f the country is ab­ solutely necessary to keep th em , functioning on a full schedule,1 The millions o f Ions o f scrap iron sold to the Japanese during the past decade, and up until 1941, could jbe made quite useful, if still in America instead o f being used against us by/the enemy, The- War and Navy Department^ have announced- that checks in pay-* ment of allowances to dependents o f enlisted men, covering the. first ap- plications to he approved, will go out. shortly after September 1st. These checks will include all sums secured up to that date in the individual cases covered. Thereafter regular monthly payments will be made. . The War Department may not be able to pass upon all applications fo r allowances to dependents prior to September 1st, but such applications will be approved as rapidly as possible and secured payments thereon be made at the end o f each month, or a few days there­ after. The Navy expects to .make pay­ ment on practically all applications during the' first few days of Sept. When the original Bill granting allot­ ments to dependents o f men in tl t service was before the House it pro­ vided that payments thereunder should begin within two calendar months, or by; September 1st. How­ ever, the*- Senate -amended the mea­ sure-to call fo r payment o f allotments to begin within four calendar month's, or on November 1st., as a .result o f War Department officials insisting it was impossible fo r the A rmy to begin making .payments in a less time. Later there, was such a public reaction to tW long delay in "making^tlie bilil effective, and such criticism concern­ ing the. spayments reaching depend­ ents a day or.so before the November: . election, that Congress enacted leg­ islation amending the .Allotment Lawj to reestablish the September 1st, pay­ ment date as carried in the original House-Bill. While it will not be poss­ ible to make payment to all depend­ ents b y September 1st., it is believed that a largo percentage o f those en­ titled will! receive their allotments during the firstweek in September.

Farnkers and Feeders Unloading Cattle* Fear Price Ceiling Tuesday witnessed the arrival o f 33,000 cattle, old .and young, good bad and indifferent in the Kansas City, market, all due according to western reports of the dictatorship price fix­ ing in, Washington under tiie Com­ munistic New Deal. This is the lar­ gest .number o f cattle received in that market, since the great drought sev­ eral years ago. Flemipg Mellinger, one o f the lar­ gest and moat successful cattle feed­ ers in Clark county says: The govern­ ment celling price fixes the price o f retail beef and has demoralized the producing industry. It is the one factor that will hamper the Food for Freedom program in that grass fed cattle will go to market unfinished. It also discourages the feeder who purchases feeding, stock. The farmer is aware of his responsibility to pro­ vide ample food but he cannot be ex­ pected to .court bankrupey by adopt­ ing the present price control method.; Packers are -forced to purchase in-; ferior grade o f cattle and sell at the; ceiling price t o . get a profit. This leaves fat cattle a drag,on the-market; and a situation that will eventually: bankrupt any feeder. He says, packers are purchasing., youngsage which means p. great,short­ age in beef in later months. . Mellinger disputes the statement o f Claude Wickard about there being a shortage o f beef. Any disturbance to the retail meat market is due dir-t ectly to the placing o f ceiling prices by the government. Mellinger predicts the lot o f hog and lamb feeders will be the same in coming weeks as that o f cattle feed­ ers. at the present time,. Reports that the government has dropped lease-lend purchases and dis­ couraged packers from purchasing - hogs three days each week was prov­ en last week when the. packers stayed out o f the market fo r three days and hogs dropped 60c the following three days.. ^ Mellinger says the government plan o f grading the different grades of meat will leave the feeder at the- tncrcy o f the packer. “ It is only a plan to employ inexperienced politic­ ians for this work whojmow little or nothing about it. In many cases it will open the opportunity for dis­ honesty and graft." TRANSFER AUTHORIZED A real estate transfer requested by'Jam esD . Miller, as administrator o f the estate o f Clarence O.

Dr. Robert Jacobs To Enter War Service Tony Pedro,-Boston, O., wants a job cutting com. Tony-wanted to adver­ tise that he would cut com for 30c a shock and a lot o f extras included. He says he must have a comfortable tenant house or garage with a stove fo r cooking to feed five other “ cut­ ters" in WsorganizktioiL, Tony had an unusual proposition and we concluded it should be given the fanners without, taking Tony's money. Besides the 30c a shock, New Deal standard wage, Tony wants a gallon o f milk a day and free access to roasting ears, not particular about Golden Bantam- or Evergreen sweet com. He says most farmers have more potatoes, than they can use so a. bushel o f potatoes might help out. ' We discovered Tony was a real pianner. He knows more about ec- nomics than you would think and says his father never had to have a guardian, but be did admit that he was a coal miner once upon a 'time. Tony -when asked if he did not think 30c a shock was a trifle high said you know/ “ it costs plenty to live." We suggested that if Tony cduld and a corn cutting job at 30c a shock with extras he should have the custo­ mary "two chickens in the pot each Sunday.” “ How about the War, Tony 7" “ Don’t know much about it” was nis reply. He says he is 65 but can cut more corn than a lot of fellows at 25. “ Are you buying war bonds?” brought an affirmative answer. “ How much you make mining coal?” “ Ten to Twelve dollars" some days when I work. “ Why do you come up here to cut c om ?" “ To make money to buy war bonds for wife and five kids.” Tony says he does not own an auto anti cates nothing about gas ration­ ing but he did admit he would not want beer rationed, Says his gang always has beer keg on Sunday, If you want com cutters leave your: address at this office and--we will have Tony call on you. He admits be is a New'Dealer but does not like war.

The following Is the Wickard statement farmers weeks ago; “ Do you have hogs to market tin's year? * I f so, I want to urge you just as strongly as I possibly can to feed for earlier marketing and at heavier weights. That will mean • b avy summer feeding and better feeding, With our abpndant sup­ plies o f grains and protein supple­ ments this better feeding .can be carried on profitably. You will Be helping yourself by marketing as many of 'your hogs as you Can'be- fore the December-January ..peak when there is real possibility that both transportation and .slaughter facilities may be jammed by the . heavy runs. We are going to, have to market a fourth more hogs this fall and winter than we sdid last year. You w ilrte helping theiwgr - program too by marketing your hogs earlier than usual.. Our- allies and our people need pork and.lard as fast as they can get it. Help the war and help yourself by mdb- keting early ■ The Guide comment follows *as takep from 'the September ls t issue: “Raise more hogs, feed-more chick­ ens, produce more milk"— that was the “ all out” order o f Uncle "Sam's agriculture,department last'spring. And farmers everywhere started the “ march o f muscle” that-would make sure America and the allied ..nations would not starve. The AAA fold the farmers that if they would_plant ten.'per cent m o r e .’ corn than they did last.year they, would not.lose their government pay­ ments and if they desired they could increase their . com acerage thirty per cent more. Of course in the lat- , ter case they would lose their, dom payments but all other 'farm -.parity an<f conservation- payments wouldr. be paid. > • , Scores o f farmers, wishing* to ..do the patriotic thing, -increased*-the- acerage by -the ten plus thirty ipeb cent, ■, .. Last year the com parity paytpent was 5.6 and the corn payment was- 9, making a total payment per buahel o f 1.4,5, And the. farmer, in -figuring com receipts this year naturally used these figures, having no others avail­ able. But imagine his surprise to* learn, after his com was all in and his farm crops laid out for the summer'that the AAA was going to pay 16.6 cents for every bushel of corn allotted to the average yield. The Guide'received this letter from a Johnson county farmer: “ $73.90,<an acre for corn! Quite a lot isn’t 1t? Well, that’s What it cOst m ep e r -acre to put out 5.3 acres above my: allot­ ment. The letter the Triple A sent out said I could plant up to-.3Qr.per cent additional and only lose the ‘corn payments.’ They didn’t say thrt the com payments had been increased till they Were way up there. (From: 14.5 to 16.6) “ The government publicity suggest­ ed that feeders plant more*com on account of more livestock. Then the Triple A payments for restricted acer-. ago were 'upped,’ There’s a lot >o f sense to that^ Now^I know why so many people are disgusted with the Triple A. The letter sent out;was misleading. There* is no reason Why clear information shouldn’t be put out so" that the farmers would not have to go ‘sit on th^ir feet’ to get the low down." Lots o f farmers are complaining that they, were “ sold down the river!’ on the thirty per cent extra acerage idea and were it not for their patriot­ ism no doubt many 'niore- complaints would be heard. But the farmer rep­ resents one Class that > is Willing to forget the dollar when it comes to helping win the war. But let's see how this corn payment or lack of payment works out. Here is tin example,, *■ * For sake o f discussion -let’s take- a farm With an allotment o f 47.8 acres. * (This includes the ten per. cent in­ crease allowed and the payment would still be made.) This farm is allowed an acerage com yield o f 45.7 bushels an acre. Under the government pay­ ment plan o f 16,& cento a bushel tbis* farm would -get from the govern­ ment $7.59 fo r every com acre.
