You get them as change from your butcher or grocer, and can spend them on low-point pur- chaSes. 2—You have. two sets of stamps to use: old and new. Old green stamps K, L, M for processed foods, and old brown stamps Y, Z for meats-fats, are valid until March 20 at their present face values 8, 5, 2 and 1 points. New blue stamps A8, B8, C8, D8, E8 for processed foods, and new red stamps A8, B8, C8 for meats-fats, are valid thru May 20, all worth 10 points each. 3—Until March 20, when the old stamps expire, 31-point green and brown stamps also may used as change, as well as tokens. Red tokens are used for meat- stamp change; blue for processed foods. 4—USE YOUR OLD STAMPS FIRST. When they are gone, you will be able to buy all your ra- tioned‘ food with stamps from Book 4, which also contains your sugar stamps. Then you’ll have only 10-point stamps for process- ed foods, and meat-fats, with 1— point tokens for change . . . sim- ple as using pennies in change for a dime. be, .Cows Need More Good Roughage As a cow will give more milk ‘if she is in good flesh at calving time it is advisable to feed her liberal quantities of good rough- age after she goes dry, says Dr. Otto J. Hill, extension dairyman at the State College of Washing— ton. This is one of the main points in the 8-point dairy program cur— rently being carried on by Wash- ington dairymen to help them meet 1944 food needs. “It is a good idea to feed a cow ‘two to four pounds of grain in addition to roughage during the dry period,” says Dr. Hill. “Many .dairymen have found that feed- ing grain during this period is a splendid investment.” The best feeding guide for cows during the dry period is their condition when they are dried off. Under no circumstances should dry cows be turned out on poor pasture or given low quality roughages. Pa_ge_Threé Such poor feeds will not provide the minerals, vitamins and ener- gy which is absolutely necessary I for normal calving. I Cows will produce most milk if .they are allowed two months dry 1period. Milking a cow right up to ' a week or two before calving may reduce her production in the next Llactation by as much as 15 per cent. Then too, if she is turned dry for more than two months before calving, she will also lose in milk !production during the next milk- Iing period. So in order to turn ‘ cows dry at the right time, every dairyman should keep breeding ‘dates of all cows.

Postal rates will be raised March 26th. The Revenue Act of 1943 When individual and corpora- tion tax rates remain substan- tially the same as before, most taxpayers will pay more tax for 1944 than for 1943 because of the repeal of the earned income credit for individuals and the increaSed excess profits tax rate for cor- porations.
