It is expected to be more favorable to agriculture than the old Congress. The tide of American opinion, as shown in the elections, favors farmers now. Facts front the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Econo- mics show that the average American family is spending only 22% of its total income for food and that's the low- est in more than 25 years. One indication of the way things are going was the resignation of Leon Hender- son, OPA Administrator, whose main purpose in admini- stering food prices was to keep them down—below parity in some cases—for the benefit of city consumers who were to be subsidized, if necessary. This matter of subsidies for farm products has been a sore spot. Belatedly last week end, the administration recognized the_publie's unfavorable reaction and wiped out the scheme, a 1 least sofar as the fluid milk industry is concerned. Most agricultural leaders were absolutely against subsidies, and when the resignation of Hender- son, one of the leading advocates of subsidies, opened the ..ay to get the matter before Economic Stabilization Director Byrnes, he quickly recognized the glaring weak- nesses in the program) and ordered its immediate discon- tinuance except as a temporary emergency measure. Other government departments farmers will watch during the coming months are the Foo# Administration, headed by Ij&jfcrefcary- of AgttctLt t fi v re !Ja W^ar6^ anSuthe Wax Manpower Commission, Ji&adectljy Pfotf^^&l&Nutt. Wickard, who is a farmer hiiriseTf; feaS shown more sym- pathy toward the farm viewpoint than other Washington executives. Latest reports were that he was trying to get 1943 's farm machinery allotment increased. If he succeeds, he'll earn the thanks of many farmers who will be hard-pressed this year unless they get more machinery to replace dwindled farm labor. The latest shortage to develop is in portein ingredients for feed. Resourceful farmers are meeting it by cutting down the protein con- sent of their dairy rations. Wickard can make sure that it does not recur this year, by moving immediately to provide ample processing facilities for soybeans, etc., the bottle neck in the 1942-43 feed shortage. No matter what happens, American farmers will do their best to grow the food which Wickard says \will win the war and write the peace.\ It's going to be a long, hard pull. Last year was hard. This year will very likely be harder. But then, farming never was the easi- est way in the world to make a living. Farmers have never been very richly rewarded in money or ease, but they sometimes have had rich satisfactions. Added to ' those satisfactions this year W11 T be the knowledge that no group of citizens has sacrificed more, or worked hard- er, or done a more essential part in helping win the war. \7/te Black (Zluesi Democrat LEWIS COUNTY'S MOST INTERESTING NEWSPAPER A DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER North State Street Lowville, N.

Y., THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1943 NUMBER 21 TALK OF THE TOWN Well, it seems that the skating rink is now well under way, what iwth a fine appropriation from the village board and the cooperation of the parents and the school au- thorities there should be full speed ahead. Speaking of the winter, accord- ing to the records kept by Kenneth Kiipatrick of the i^owville weather bureau December had everything in the way of weather that can be found. Lots of rain, snow and warm temperatures, not to men- tion the forty below one day. All of which was out of the ordinary as far as anything comparable in the record is concerned. And the records have been kept for over thirty years. The snow has beer* deepening in front of the office with every pass- ing minute. The other day the village snow removal truck got as far as Finn's' right next door but then the noon whistle blew and the truck came no more. Perhaps they'MI be back. We hape so 'cause if the snow isn't removed our basement will ibe flooded from the front and also the back when the spring rains and the thaw come. The sewer wil back up and the snow will melt on State Street and soak into the ground the front way. Maybe we'd better hang out a snow truck wanted sign! New subscribers this week in- clude: Mrs. L. C. Harth, Lewis A. Shuimway, Mrs. George B. Meyers, Mrs. John Hitchcock, Chris Yan- \cey Elmer W. Thisse, Miller Star- ing, Floyd Failing, Andrew O. Hoch, Milton Hirschy, iRosa Worm- wood, Charles Loson and Albert D. Etffley. The Academy basketeers lost a tough one Saturday night to Wa- tertown but what with playing on a strange court against a six foot four center, the boys did a very good job. We sort of hate *o see Earle Branche leave. In the past six months we've gotten acquainted with him and have learned what a grand job he has done with the Farm (Bureau. His successor also comes from Oswego County and E&rle assures. us has a- lot-on the hall too. The village and the county wish Barie well and the best of luck. State street wu certainly de- serted Sunday evening as far as traffic was concerned. One car was parked on the thoroughfare as far as you could see from the Four Corners. Neither the State or the village, police, should, have, any trouble with any Lewis County in- habitants as far as their voluntary conservation of gas and rubber is concerned. This was som%what ob- vious as the people came afoot to the Avalon. Now everyone should make sure that no empty seats are in the family buggy as they go shopping or to church or on any other necessary driving. Maybe we should start a clearing house for the share-the-ride idea both for the riders and those having space to share. Incidently maybe you can still rent horses and buggies in the county or maybe someone will start a livery. In checking in to the possibility of a coal shortage in Lowville as a result of the strike in Pennsyl- vania we find that all the dealers have plenty on hand and as for Lowville everyone will be able to obtain fuel. Quite a bit of comment is en- gendered whenever the govern- ment releases information late on the war. We recommend a poem that appeared in Collier's on Octo- ber 31, 1942 entitled \Conceal The Dead.\ —J.O.B. RATION BOARD PLANS BOOK 2 The Lewis County Ration Board plans tentatively to issue War Ra- tion Book number 2 during the last week in January according to an announcement this week by Blwin Rowell, executive secretary.

MORESALVAGE H. Carl Brown, chairman of the Lewis County Salvage Committee, says, adding to its already numer- ous appeals to sportsmen to be salvage minded, the Conservation Dept. today urged all successful deer hunters to contribte their deer hides to the war effort. Hunters participating in this projec t are advised by the Department to han- dle deer hides carefully, to salt them well and roll into compact bundles with the hair side of the hide out. These hides are made into fur vests for our service men at sea.
