Heavy Rains
Hinder Farm
Operations
Seminole county farmers are wear
ing a most worried look these days
as a result of the heavy rainfall that
continues to fall over this section and
seriously hampering farm operations.
Quite a few farmers have not as
yet broken their land, while those
who have broken land have not as yet
been able to prepare the land for
planting. Many fields are boggy with
the low section covered with water
and indications are that planting will
be delayed quite a while yet.
With a shortage of farm labor and
the short space of time in which the
farmers will have to plant after the
weather improves, many farmers will
be forced to work fast in order to
complete their planting.
A system of staggering the plant
ing of peanuts has been suggested by
peanut authorities over the state. This
means that different planting dates
should be made in order that harvest
ing or taking up the peanuts will fall
on different dates to make allowance
for the shortage of labor.
Peanut Prices
Show Advances
Peanuts have shown a marked ad
vance in prices within recent weeks,
the local market being around $l5O
for Spanish No. 1, according to in
formation obtained Tuesday. In some
sections the market has been reported
as high as $175 per ton.
No. 1 hogs were quoted at $11.65
and cotton is quoted at around 20
cents this week.

War Production Chairman Nelson
said man-hours now being put into
military production could be doubled
if all equipment involved were used 24
hours a day. He asked manufacturers
for monthly reports to show how
rapidly industry is being converted to
war work, the degree of utilization of
equipment and any factors interfering
with maximum production.
The WPB report 95 percent of the
radio and phonograph industry, which
ceases civilian production April 22,
will be completely converted to war
work before June 30. Production of
communication equipment needed by
the military services is expected to
exceed a rate of $125 million a month
by the end of the year.
Chairman Nelson announced 31 re
gional conferences of Labor and
Management representatives from
prime contracting plants engaged in
making guns, ships, planes, tanks and
machine tools will be held during the
next two weeks. The meetings will
lay plans to meet or exceed the pro
duction goals announced by the Pre
sident. The WPB ordered the produc
tion of domestic laundry equipment to
be discontinued by May 15 so the en
tire capacity of the industry can be
devoted to war production.
The WPB said during the three
months following Pearl Harbor more
than $72 billion had been made avail
able for the war effort. Appropria
ting by Congress and additional funds
made available through the RFC were
larger than all the funds authorized
for defense during the 18 months be
fore the attack. The total for the 21
months amounted to almost $l4O on
lion.

President Roosevelt in a letter to

of Defense Transportation and De

sistance to local business enterprises
seeking to pool delivery services as a
means of conserving trucks, tires and
