MAIL O'l/ERSEfiS SQLDIERS 7 CHRISMS GIFTS BK NOV. 1 ATLANTA, Ga. —Soldiers over seas may have written home for matches, cash money, cigarette 1 lighter fluid, or intoxicants, but don’t send overseas troops any 'of these items. Headquarters Fourth Service Command warn ed today. Mailing restrictions were listed to insure delivery of Christmas presents sent the foreign-duty ’ soldiers by December 25 and the Army Postal Service reissued a plea for all Christmas parcels of overseas destination to be mailed between October 1 and Novem ber 1. Requests made by the soldiers for matches and cigarette lighter fluid because of the difficulty of obtaining matches in many parts of the world will have to go un filled because of the danger of spontaneous combustion in mail sacks is too great. However, cigarette lighters may be mailed but be sure to leave out the fluid; Cash money is useless as a gift to troops overseas because in many places where U. S. sol diers are stationed there is a lo cal prohibition against importa tion of United States money, so such money could not be spent. When sending money to soldiers in other countries use Domestic Postal Money Orders which may be cashed at Army Post Offices anywhere. Money orders over seas are paid in local foreign currency at the current rate of exchange. Postage for these Christmas packages must be fully prepaid at the regular parcel post rate, only to the port of embarkation. Each should be limited to the size of an ordinary shoe box and weigh no more than six pounds; should be securely wrapped to withstand rigorous handling; and should be wrapped so as to per mit ready inspection of the con tents by the censors. Not more than one Christmas parcel may be mailed in any one week to the same addressee. Gifts of a personal, utilitarian nature should be sent overseas troops, according to the Army Postal Service. Miscellaneous contents such as candies, soaps, toilet articles and the like should be packed tightly. Sharp-point ed or sharp-edged instruments suen as razors, knives or scis sors should have their points or edges protected. Thin paste board boxes should be enclosed in wood, metal or corrugated j pasteboard. I Sealed packages of candy,! cigars, tobacco and' toilet arti-j cles may be enclosed within par cels without affecting the parcel! post classification of such pack-i ages. A recent War Department sur vey conducted at ports of em-: barkation disclosed that approxi-i mately ten per cent of all mail | intended for delivery to members | of the armed forces overseas is! incorrectly or insufficiently ad-1 dressed. The Army Postal Service re-: issued the request that all mail ( addressed to Army personnel: serving outside the continental) limits of the United States should clearly show: the full name, se rial number, service organiza tion and Army Post Office num ber of the addressee. | BATIONiTBOARD REPORT • -A new price ceiling panel to ; handle price ceiling regulations has been appointed.

Complete win-1 ter uniforms are to be issued at an early date. The squads have on an atten dance contest. The two highest in attendance will be entertained at a fish fry in November by the four squads with the lowest attendance record. The county unit has four new members, P. M. Satterfield, J.A. Taylor, L. M. Hartley, and R, E. Ogletree. At least 20 m ore members are needed to replace those who have been called into active service or have moved away. The unit has 38 members at present. The unit meets every Tues day night at the Basket-ball court. Activities are mainly drilling this month in preparation for the District Field Maneuvers to be held here next Sunday p. m., Oct. 25. Gen. Wood of Fort Benning, officer in charge of training, held a Forum in Perry Oct. 11, for officers and men of this district, which is headed by Major S. A. i Nunn of Perry. R. E. JACKSON, ELKO GROWS CROTALARIA Crotalaria is one of the le gumes being counted on to pro duce nitrogen to replace com mercial supplies during the war, according to W. V. Bass of the Middle Western Ocmulgee River Soil Conservation District. “This explains why more far mers are harvesting seed this fall,” the conservationist says. “With the prospect of a limited supply of commercial nitrogen for the duration, larger acreages of such crops as crotalaria will be grown to add nitrogen from the air.” Besides supplying nitrogen for succeeding crops, crotalaria grows unusually well on poor land. It grows after other crops are laid by and has resulted in large increases in yields. For example, R. E. Jackson of Elko, who has been growing cro talaria for several years says that he followed one field of crotala ria with corn without any other fertilizer and on the adjoining t piece of land which was similar jin type, planted corn fertilized neavily with a good complete fertilizer. More corn was made per acre where it was planted behind crotalaria than on the field where the complete fertiliz er was used. Crotalaria seed has been har vested successfully with com bines though many farmers strip the seed pods by hand and beat the seed out with sticks. Seed will be ready to harvest during the next few weeks. Many farm ers in this section with estab lished stands of crotalaria are planning to harvest seed for more extensive plantings next year. Harvesting seed will not pre vent the crotalaria from volun teering next summer, Mr, Bass says. Enough seed will be left to insure a good stand next year. I RED CROSS WORK The Houston county Auxiliary to the Macon Red Cross chapter began bandage work this week j at the Legion Home. 20 women , are taking a training course in j bandaging so they can instruct , and supervise other workers.

Dp to Wednesday noon this week 126,105 lbs, of scrap had been sold during October to E.F. Bellflowers, local junk dealer. The Penn-Dixie Cement Corp. at Clinchfield has shipped 76,100 lbs. scrap iron during the drive, making the total reported for October 202,205 lbs. Houston county’s quota for September and October is one million pounds, To date only 269,305 lbs, or a little over one fourth of the quota, has been reported. The Salvage committee feels sure that much more scrap metal has been collected and sold by Houston county people. Th e committee urges those who sell their metal outside Houston county to report the amount sold to C. P. Gray, chairman, or W. T. Middlebrooks, secretary. Full reports from all the schools will be published next week with the names of children winning Buttons for collecting 100 lbs. of scrap. J.R.

LAST CALL FOR PLANTING SPRING GRAZING CROPS “This is the last call for plant ing winter legume-small grain mixtures to provide grazing dur ing the late winter and early spring,” County Agent W. T. Middlebrooks warned farmers this week. “The cheapest feed on the farm is usually that harvested by livestock,” he said, “a n d permanent pastures cannot be depended upon to furnish graz ing throughout the year.” Mr. Middlebrooks pointed out that plantings of winter legume small grain mixtures should be made by the middle of October, if possible, on good well prepar ed land. He advised fertilizing with 200 to 300 pounds of super phosphate, or a complete ferti lizer. Thick seedings of these mix tures will provide grazing for two or three animals per acre i during the late winter and early I spring, the agent explained. Good rates of seeding per acre, he continued, are 3 to 4 bushels of oats, and 10 pounds of vetch, or 2 bushels of oats, 1 : bushel of rye, and 10 pounds of vetch, or 2 bushels of oats, I'A 1 bushels of barley, and JO pounds of vetch. “Eight to 10 pounds of crim son clover, where adapted, will ( add greatly to the mixture,” Mr. 1 Middlebrooks concluded. PAYMENTS HIGHER FOR LEGUME CROPS A blitz drive for the seeding of a record-smashing acreage of Austrian winter peas was urged this week by W. R. Huey, AAA county administrative officer, fol lowing Washington announce ment that Georgia’s AAA pro gram year will close August 31, 1943, instead of November 30, As an inducement to growers to increase nitrogen-producing winter peas, Mr. Huey announc ed the state AAA committee’s recommendation of increased payment for such crops has been approved officially. Pay me n t for winter legumes and winter legumes-small grain mixtures turned under or left on the land next spring, has been stepped up from $1.50 an acre to $2.50 an acre. In addition, ho said, payment for winter non-legumes, except wheat on wheat-allotment farms, will be increased from $1.50 to $2.00 an acre. The change in the closing date of the AAA year, Mr. Huey said, means that no payment will be made for seeding winter legumes in the 1943 program year. “The increased rates for turn ing under green manure crops,’’ he said, “have been increased because the program year will be shortened by three months next fall, thereby excluding the seeding of winter legume crops and the application of fertilizer materials thereto during the 1943 program. In view of this amendment, it is felt that farm ers will wish to avail themselves of every opportunity to increase the seeding of winter legumes this fall.” The supply of Austrian winter peas for seeding this fall, he said, “is practically unlimited.” He urged farmers to place orders for conservation materials need ed at once, in order to insure timely delivery. “We do not know how much commercial nitrates will be avail able for crop use in 1943,” he added, “but we can be reason ably sure that there will be less than this year. Since the sup ply of Austrian winter peas and phosphate is more than adequate, farmers have this last chance to grow a large part of their 1943 nitrogen needs in order to main tain an increased production. Unless farmers act quickly, it will be too late.” Mi'. Huey laid particular stress on “the things that make for a successful legume growth,” cit | ing particularly the need for every producer to realize the im portance of early seeding at a rate well in excess of the mini mu m AAA requirements, of proper inoculation, and of ade quate applications of fertilizer materials.
