Higher Peanut Yield Sought By Farm Agent
County Agent E G Blackwell urges higher peanut yields through improved soils and careful practices. Soil should be well prepared, weeds removed, cover crops turned under before planting, and fertilizer applied at 200 to 300 pounds per acre with lime on acid soils. Use bright clean seed, preferably hand shelled, and consult Blackwell in the local courthouse for full guidance.

New Passenger Cars Must Await Axis End
Washington April 17 The production of passenger cars must await the collapse of Germany or Japan, the WPB notified the automobile industry advisory committee. The 17 top motor makers unanimously concurred, but a government spokesman said WPB favors resuming civilian car output after a major war outcome, probably on a limited basis for war goods. Two big postwar questions remained unsolved: limits to 1942 models and entry of new manufacturers.
