ed to undertake.”
He added that the schedule would require an employment increase and the use of “every foot of Allison floor space.” “In brief, Allison production schedules for December, 1944,

surplus seed soon in order that It may get into the channels of trade, says D. J. Holmes, County Agricultural Agent. The large supply of seed produced in 1944 Is not moving rapidly enough to meet the needs of farmers in various states and for the commitments made for lend lease, according to word received from Grant G. Thompson, acting director of the North Central Division of AAA In Washington. “It Is extremely important that the processors acquire enough supplies to fulfill our-lend-lease commitments within the rcjxt few weeks since these shipments must be made within that time if they are to be received abroad in time for next year's planting, “said the letter from Thompson. “Farmers should therefore be urged to take stock of their needs and to sell to dealers or processors any amounts of red clover seed in excess of their own needs while prices ans at favorable levels. Even though the amount available for sale from an Individual farm is only five or ten bushels, such amounts will, In the aggregate, tend to relieve the present
acute shortage.
“Seed sold to dealers will, if otherwise eligible, qualify for Ihe poundage payment on the basis of the estimated amount of cleaned sefed. A statement from the processor showing the estimated cleaned seed out-turn, that is, thresher run seed less dockage, will be accepted as evidence of the unount of cleaned seed harvested. It Is not necessary when seed Is sold to a dealer or processor that the seed first be tested to determine cleaned
seed content.”

GET EXTRA DAY
FORT WAYNE, Ind., Dec. 22 —(HIP)—Public school students awoke with a triumphant feeling after sleeping late today: i The doors on the school houses remained closed! i School officials maintained their stand that the extra day’s vacation was not due to the "strike” and diaturbances which the students staged in three high schools Wednesday — demanding a two-day longer
Christmas vacation.
The extra day was decided on yesterday, just before dismissal time, by Merl J, Abbett, superintendent of public schools, who said that the extension was not "because of the student protest, but in view of parochial school schedules and work students
have been doing."

DOGHOUSE JOINS CHASE ARLINGTON, Mass. (UP)— They are not making chains strong enough to bind our doghouses sturdy enough to contain “Berengarlls,” a mammoth St. 1 Bernard belonging to Charles I Folsom. The chained Berengarlus gave chase the other day when a squirrel started making faces at him. The squirrel bolted, the dog after the rodent, and the two followed by the doghouse to which the animal had been chained.
