Poultry Industry Prepared for War Demand Growth
SIOUX CITY AP The War Food Administration official C E Dominy told the Iowa Nebraska poultry and egg institute convention that military and civilian needs will raise demand.

Non-Highway Gas Coupons Issued in Installments
The Office of Price Administration said gasoline coupons for non highway farming use will be issued in installments rather than six month blocs. Weather drives farm consumption, making six month estimates unreliable, and cases of excessive issuance have occurred. Local boards will release a portion of the six month quota with later adjustments as needed.
