Planning the Farm Bureau pro gram for 1943 will occupy a. sub stantial part of the two day ees Bion. Campaign For More Hogs Started , Here Sarpy County joined the state and nation in putting into the effect the program for increased pork pro duction in 1943. The program will increase the income of Sarpy Coun ty farmers by several thousand dol lars as well as help meet the na tions needs for meat. Complete plans for the state program at the Agriculture College were made at a meeting of the State Rehabilita tion Committee in Lincoln last week. Increase pork production can come easier than most other types of live stock because of the minimum re quirements of labor where labor sav ing equipment is used. County Agent Erickson mailed a letter to all farmers this week asking them to report the number of gilts they would have for sale in order to locate them for interested farmers who can handle more gilts this com ing spring. Some farmers already interviewed concerning this, indicat ed they plan to use horse stalls and other buildings to take care of them during farrowing time. Undoubtedly many , farmers will make more use of labor saving equip ment to save time. More plans will be made to provide pasture for them during the coming spring and sum mer to save time and grain. Some farms, because of lack of equipment will not be able to in crease materially but many farmers do have and probably can increase as much as 30 or 40 per cent. There are many gilts in the feed lot now which would make very good breeding gilts. The probable demand for bred gilts will make it profitable to hold some in excess ot what can be handled on the farm for farrowing and breed them. There will likely be a demand for breeding stock from other counties in the state in view of the fact that they have been out of hog produc tion for so many years. Here From Coast Guard William Reed, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Reed, of this city, who has been a member of the United States coast guard for almost two years arrived home Sunday for a visit.

But cocky American fighting men proved them painfully wrong at Wake, Midway, Bataan. And the same factories that produced our peacetime comforts are geared today into the greatest war indus try the world has ever seen! Production is military power. "And electric power is production. America can produce the planes, tanks, ships and guns to win this war because America has five times the electric power It had in the last war more electric power Shan all the Axis and conquered countries combined For that you can thank the quiet, competent mea 1 .who manage America's electric companies.
