Snow Benefits Whgat-— Snow has been called poor- man’s fertilizer. The snowfall this week besides furnishing food and drink to the wheat crop will also serve'as a blanket to protect it from wintry blasts. While causing many incon­ veniences, the snow was greeted with relief by farmers who were commenc­ ing to see in the. protracted dry spell a; threat to current and future crops. The wheat crop which is in bad shape bepaus'e of lack o f . moisture should be benefited and the supply of soil moisture will be replenished by the melting snow. CENSUSP l f f s T POPULATION 1142,000 Greene county's population has taken, quite a jump if the estimate by the census bureau is correct, This estimate is based on the number o f of ration books issued.' f Most county officials can *not figure the population at 42,988,. a gain o f 25,1 in a' year. Most o f the gain is listed as "trailer population’’ here today and gone tomorrow. It is said a population o f 42,000, if permanent would call for at least 10,- 0Q0 personal property and classified ■tax returns.' The ■, auditor’s office ' this year issued only 4700 blanks to taxpayers througff the mails. The county can- increase its tax collection greatly if the population has jumped to 42,000. There has been an increase in the population but not composed of permanent residents.' Several reside in trailer camps, and County Auditor is going to place these on the tax duplicate. Whfen . that is. done'there can be a safe estimate on the actual population. Many trailer residents will swear ' they have no permanent home .here and do not vote .here. If election .registration and poll books are checked for such voters they then must be listed as residents will swear they have no Eleven Delegiit^s Attend Meeting— .

It is the question o f what changes to -make in OPA, Most people have overlooked the fact that the present OPA law expires June 30tl). The law must be extended or revised if price control continues. Congress is determined to forte administrative improve­ ments, to whittle down OPA prac­ tices which they feel go far beyond Congressional authorization. Anger- fed not at the basic doclrine of price control but the. extreme to which it has been pushed, Congress is think­ ing about-specific restrictions to bo slapped on OPA practices. In the ..making will be a call for a review of OPA restrictions by regular courts. This would establish thc right of ap- .peal from OPA, decisions in the regu­ lar Way. If present indications arc borne out, it is likely that, the Con­ gress will take advantage of the re­ newal o f OPA legislation to settle, once and for all, bow far OPA is to \ go on its rules, regulations and prac­ tices.
