Corn Shortage Becoming Acute WASHINGTON, April 17—(UP! - The corn shortage has become so acute that the War Food Administration has decided tentatively to send crews into the corn belt to determine how much corn farmers are holding in excess of actual feeding requirements, it was learned today. Wherever surpluses are found to exist, it was said, agricultural adjustment agency agents will offer to shell and truck the corn to the nearest storage or shipping center and pay the farmer the price he would receive for delivering the corn ut

these points.

Hy paying shelling and trucking costs, the government would indirectly give the farmer a higher price without directly raising the ceiling. The Office of Price Administration has refused to authorize a direct

price increase.

The plan, subject to last minute changes, probably will be announced sometime this week. It follows a series of conferences during the last 10 days between WFA, OPA, W'ar Production Board and Office of Economic Stabilization officials on the most satisfactory way of moving

| corn from farms to essential users. Some refineries, processing corn | for vital war materials, already have I shut down because of inability to get coin. Requisitioning of coin from country elevators, ordered by WFA in mid-March, has failed to fill needs. This is true although the ••set-aside” foi industrial users was raised from

,85 to 60 per cent on April 1.

Livestock feeders in deficit producing areas also are feeling tne

pinch of short supplies.

A corn shortage also developed last year, but despite a record corn production in 1943, this year’s shortage has developed three months earlier and is much more critical.

Upon request children in Green castle city schools will bring applications for canning sugar to their own families and neighbors’ families i April 18th until May 1st. Children 1 in schools outside the city will bring * af plications for canning sugar to their own families and neighbors’ j families April 18th until April 20tb. After these dates applications may ! be obtained by writing the Putnam ’ County War Price and Rationirg j Board. 31-67.1, 12'^, South Jackson Street, Ureencastle. Indiana, any time until February 28, 1945. For rationing purposes the canning season runs from March 1, 1944 ' through February 28, 1945—and applications may be made any time during the canning season. The allotment of canning sugar is the same as last year, namely, a maximum of 25 lbs,, per person. Of this 25 lbs., canning sugar, 5 lbs., mdy be obtained with SUGAR Stamp No. 40 in Ration Book 4 di--ectly from any grocery store. The remaining 20 lbs., may be obtained by filling in an application for canning sugar (OPA Form R-323), attaching SPAKE STAMP No. 37 from the Ration Book 4 of each member of the family listed on the application, and MAILING to the Rationing Board Office. Families should not apply for the maximum allowance on the first application but for only the amount needed at the time and then apply again at any later date for more canning sugar as needed to the nearest multiple of five since the ration coupons are valid for 5 lbs. For example, a family may apply for as little as 5 lbs., of canning sugar in May and then 15 lbs. in June. Their first application will be on file in the Rationinf Office with a notation that SPARE Stamp No. 37 has already been surrendered.

Make an inventory of what you already have, may be you are one who takes no account of what he has till he loses it. God wants to make you abundantly happy: And he said unto them, take heed and beware of covetousness, for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.Luke 12:15.
