Copper that ordinarily would go into new
power lines must be used for bullets, tanks
and battleships as well as other vital military
and naval production. Because copper is one
of the most essential war materials, the War
Production Board has placed strict priorities
on all civilian uses of copper. No longer can
we extend our lines into rural areas or make
extensive installations to serve stores or in
dustries without the approval of the WPB.

Navy Expansion
The Senate passed and sent to the
House a bill authorizing the Navy to
increase the size of the U. S. fleet by
1,900,00 tons at an estimated cost of
$8,500 million. The program will give
the navy a total of 5,650.000 tons of
combat ships, far in excess of any
other navy in the world. The President
signed legislation authorized a 25 per
cent increase in pay for naval officers
assigned to submarine duty and pro
viding a $5-an-hour bonus for navy
divers engaged in hazardous under-
I takings.
The War Front
A European theater of operations
for U. S. forces was established with
Maj. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower,
formerly Assistant Chief of Staff in
charge of the Operations Division, as
Commanding General. Headquarters
will be in London. Brig. Gen. Hugh
Casey of the Army Engineer Corps
reported the Allied Works Council and
the U. S. Army Engineers in Austra
lia have built 100 military airdromes,
built or improved thousands of miles
of strategic roads, and are working on
12,000 separate projects in Australia.

Agriculture

AGENT SAYS STILL
TIME FOR PLANTING
OF SUMMER LEGUMES
On many farms lespedeza, cowpeas,
soybeans, velvet beans, crotalaria,
peanuts for hogging, or other summer
legumes have been planted and are
now at work gathering nitrogen which
if added to the soil either directly by
turning under or indirectly through
manure and sonserved will help a
great deal in overcoming the nitrogen
shortage in 1943.
However, in order for these crops
to be most effective in adding nitro
gen, County Agent W. C. Rushing
points out, they must make all the
growth possibleas the amount of ni
trogen is largely determined by the
amount of growth per acre. Farmers
should therefore give these crops the
best attention possible, he said.
“In some cases at least one or more
of these crops can yet be planted
with the possibility of a fair growth,”
Mr. Rushing asserted. “This is true of
cowpeas, soybeans, velvet beans and
possibly Spanish peanuts for hogging.
Due to the late date they are planted,
the growth will be greatly reduced
but should be enough, in face of the
shortage and importance of nitrogen,
to justify planting.
“For best results with these crops
the soil should be well prepared. This
can be done in plowing in the seed
and harrowing or rolling the land. The
rolling will asssit in getting a better
stand from the altogether oo scarce
seed supply.
“Another thing that will greatly in
crease the growth is phosphate fer
tilizer. Planting or sowing these crops
in corn in time to make as much grow-
