COMMERCIAL STATE BANK /o'/^H S ’ OOO A I| S 'WL FORMO* Aw & I BnitaLaottinlk Nmfl 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.

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.
