X THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1943 THE PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE FIVE Cass County Farm Bureau Notes Copy furnished from Office of County Agent Waldo. Loses Three Sons, Aids Bond Drive A$ Four-H Mobilization Week Full resources of all young people on Nebraska farms and many in small towns and cities will be mobil ized during the week of February 6 to 13 for wartime food production and conservation. It will be National ! 4-H Club Mobilization Week, and every state in the union will take part. Details of Cass County's parti cipation are being worked out, Ex tension Agents said this week. Aim of the drive in Nebraska will be to double enrollment in the young people's educational organization, which in Nebraska during 1942 num bered about 20,000 members- Word of the contributions toward food pro duction and conservation which the young folks may make through par ticipation in baby beef, swine, dairy, poultry, canning, cooking, and ether 4-H clubs, will be carried through out each county by civic groups, mer chant's talks before meetings attend ed by fathers and mothers of the j young people, theater displays, co- j operative associations, and window j displays. i The drive w ill be to enroll more I members, not only in clubs of five' or more, but in the Pair-for-Victory ! type of club, in which the boy oi girl who is at some disadvantage be cause of shortage of transportation to get to meetings, or scarcity of others of S-H club age in the im mediate community, may form a partnership wih some interested adult and take part in most of the 4-H activities for the year. Many of the Pair-for-Victory members will assume management of the dairy herd, or the feeding out of the' farm's regular bunch of hogs, as j their contribution toward victory. j Words of M. L. Wilson, national; director of the Agricultural Exten sion Service, were recalled as plans for the 4-H Mobilization Week were fcrmed. Speaking before 1,000 4-H Club members, including a Nebraska delegation, at the opening of the National 4-H Club Congress in Chi cago a few weeks ago, Wilson de clared "Keep in mind that food is ammunition. There will be a time in this war perhaps sooner than we now realize, when the shiploads of food sent from America wiil be more important than tanks and guns. They will become a decisive factor in vic tory. We must prepare for that time. We must insure the best food for our troops. We must get all the food we can spare to the Russians, the Chin ese, the British, and our other allies." Details of the enrollment drive in Cass County will be announced well ahead of 4-H Club Mobilization Week February 6 to 13- Make It Last Home demonstration club mem bers are attempting to make their present household equipment last for the duration by taking better care of and learning to repair the pieces on hand.

Substitutes are being made for some items but these will be experimental goods of new materials. All homemakers should learn the best methods of care for all vital equipment you now have. Feed Out Veal Calves Veal calves should be fed to weights such that they v.i'l yield 500 pounds or more of beef. That opinion was expressed recently by a man who is in position to know the -needs of American fighting men as weli as he knows Nebraska farm ing. He said that too many calyes are being placed on the market as vealers. Only by feeding them out can the maximum production of meat for the army and civilian be reached. Dairy breeds as well as beef breeds should be fed out- During the next several months plain quality cattle will probably continue to sell close to the price for choice animals be cause of the great demand for beef.

Inform ed labor sources said today that President John L. Lewis' power over the United Mine Workers of Amer ica has been seriously menaced and probably weakened by the 22 day strike of Pennsylvania's anthra cite miners- The present rebellion of thousands of U. M. W. affiliated miners against the union leaders "is only one link in a chain of dissatisfactions" one source said. Pointing out that a fifty cent per month union dues increase had touched off this new reaction against Lewis' leadership," the source said other recent actions by Lewis were keenlv resented.
