The Senate Com­ mittee lists more than 3,300,000 gov­ ernment employees exclusive of those in the armed forces. This in spite of the fact that the Congress has in the past two years abolished a number of governmental agencies. h i- 1877 | ' .* t! 0 Early in the 1944 crop season a number of government agencies were using every avenue of* .publicity, to urge greater food production by A- " .-farmers and Victory Gard- ' ners.

As a result the socalled gov­ ernment experts are now planning on asking Congress for an appropriation of at least two billion dollars to sup­ port farm prices during 1945 in an ef­ fort to prevent a ruinous farm de­ pression. Farm production in the United States! this year will be at least the second . highest in*the history of the nation and, if the Fall frosts holds off, may- even exceed the bumper y «ir of 1942. The corn crop will bo better than three billion bushels, despite the bad- drought in some areas. This year’s wheat crop approached an all time re­ cord, and it is estimated there will be a carry-over of a billion bushels o f Wheat July 1, next, at the beginning o f the new crop year. The War Foo<7 Administration however, has just is­ sued an order wiping, out all wheat production quotas and marketing al­ lotments for 1945, thus removing all restrictions on the crop for the first time since 1938., Livestock producers estimate 85 million head o f beef cat.- tle are on the ranges and in the feed lots.of the nation; while reports show 20 to 25 percent more producing dairy - cattle-than in normal years. -All. in all the future does not look any too encouraging for the farmers of the nation,.despite the government guar­ antee to support prices of certain bas­ ic farm products at 90 percent of par­ ity for two years after the year in which the war endsTwhleh means price support Until at least January 1, 1948 In this connection, howdver, it should not be forgotten that many farm pro­ ducts are now selling at (prices much above parity* Jasper Rosell: gross, $11,045.58; deductions, $4,837.23; net, $6,208.35.

COVER CROPS FCR, VICTORY GARDENS— Victory gardeners should plant all available soil to cover crops in order to conserve soil fertility and made it easier to work next year. Cover crops planted this year will be of special value because a large amount of ni­ trogen has accumulated in the surface of the soil. "Cover crops absorb this nitrogen and keep it from leaching a- way during the winter. Cover crops also go a long way toward putting the soil in a mellow condition. The most popular cover crop is rye because it can be sown from now un­ til November first. It should be sown at the rate of one-third to one-half pound per 100 square feet covered with a rake. The earlier the seed is sown, the greater the growth’ before freezing weather. Rev. Malaxlm’•Harris Declines Indiana Call Rev.

Restric­ tions ate being placed on the storage of frozen fruits, vegetables and fish in order to provide more Bpnce for the storage of poultry and meat. STORE VEGETABLES FOR WINTER— Vegetables stored over winter save the hot job o f canning,-and storage is easy if n few simple principles are fol­ lowed. Some vegetables should be kept dry and warm. These include sweet potatoes, pumpkins and squash. Temperatures from 50 to 60 degrees, with no excessive moisture in the air, are ideal for these three crops. Onions need to be dry but should be kept at a temperature between 40 degrees and freezing to, retard sprouting. Most other vegetables have to have cold, damp storage place. The at­ mosphere must be moist, otherwise they are going to dry otit, shrivel and be worthless, Root crops ^an be kept in better condition when the air is not sufficiently moist, by covering with dry sand, peat moss, or sawdust. Par­ snips and salsify can be left in the garden and dug as desired. Cabbage and Chinese cabbage should be kept in cold and humid storage.
