VICTORY DIGEST
Farm wives who may have
been worried as to how they
were going to feed hungry har
vest hands and other seasonal
workers on their farms and keep
within rationing regulations now
have an answer to their problem.
An OPA announcement states j
that farmers who hire temporary I
labor during the planting and |
harvesting season for periods of
less than 30 days, may obtain ra
tioned foods needed to feed them
by applying to their local ration
ing boards. This applies also to
other seasonal employers who hire
temporary help and feed them.
Livestock growers and feeders
in the midwest region now have
the assurance of a stabilized corn
market through the recent OP A
order establishing price ceilings
on this No. 1 farm crop in point
of size and value. The ceilings
apply at every stage of distribu
tion from the time the com leaves
the farmers’ hands until it is sold
by retail dealers. Recognizing
seasonal price variations and car
rying charges, the new order sets
peak prices for all varieties and
types of corn sold by farmers,
truckers, local elevator and term
inal market operators and retail
dealers. The ceiling price on No.
2 yellow com at Chicago is $1.02
a bushel.
The normal seasonal decline in
price of eggs, which amounted to
13.5 percent in the period be
tween mid-January and mid-Feb-,
ruary, tended to hold down the
general cost-of-living trend in the i
period. The average food cost of
all foods consumed by the aver
age family advanced .5 percent in
the period, with fresh vegetables
and fruits leading the way in the
spiraling price bracket because of
new rationing regulations on can
ned goods. The average cost of
foods other than eggs rose by 1.5
percent from mid-January to
mid-February, according to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The deferment of farm workers
by the Selective Service System
in order to meet production goals
for 1943 is growing in volume.
In addition to nearly a half mil
lion farm workers so deferred in
the last month, approximately
170,000 other workers were trans
ferred to Class 2-C in January
alone, making them available for
farm work. The present daily
rate of transfer amounts to nearly
6,500 workers. More than half of
these men, had they not been
Antidote
for Inflation
THE germ that causes inflation is spending.
The antidote is thrift. Putting it another way,
the dollars you bank fight on our side, the
dollars you spend unnecessarily fight for the
Axis. It's not quite as simple as that but the
fact is that regular bank deposits, besides
being very good for you and your family, are
also very good for your country. We’d like
to have you as a thrift depositor at this bank.
Won’t you start an account now?

Gasoline for spring planting
and cultivating and harvesting
crops will be readily available to
farmers this summer. A ration
ing procedure streamlined for the
convenience of farmers was an
nounced by Prentiss M. Brown,
price administrator. Applications
for fuel rations for farm tractors
and other farm machinery may
be mailed to War Price and Ra
tioning Boards, or they may be
turned over to a County War
Board to certify and forward to
the rationing board, which will
mail back the ration coupon
books to the applicant. Farmers
also now are authorized to get
ration coupons for a six-month
supply of gasoline. This elimin
ates the necessity of applying for
renewal of rations every three
months as was required until re
cently. Any farmer whose needs
may increase at any time during
the six-month period may apply
to his rationing board for addi
tional rations to meet the emer
gency.
As an aid to consumers who
may run out of stamps for pro
cessed foods before the first ra
tion period expries March 31, the
Office of Price Administration has
provided a 7-day overlap— the
