lockers 



By Frank Geugler 



Since there has developed a meat 

 shortage, the Washington office of 

 OPA undertook to draw up new regu- 

 lations which were intended to bring 

 all locker plants under closer supervi- 

 sion of OPA. Representatives of the 

 National Frozen Food Locker Associa- 

 tion and officials of the American 

 Farm Bureau Federation have taken a 

 firm stand against some of these pro- 

 posed plans. 



The secretary of the NFFLA, Albert 

 Guggedahl, in a letter to members on 

 May 15, writes under the heading 

 "New OPA Locker Regulations" as 

 follows: "The proposed regulations, 

 special for the locker industry are out 

 the window at the present time. OPA 

 heads in Washington conceded this 

 point to our National representatives. 



"We are as formerly, ruled mainly 

 by ration order No. 16; by slaughter- 

 ing rules as amended and by all the re- 

 ports related thereto". 



New locker associations continue to 

 be organized. Organizations underway 

 at present are at Red Bud, Randolph 

 county, Golconda, Pope-Hardin county, 

 Hardin, Calhoun county, and at Anna, 

 Union county. New plants are about 

 ready to open for business at Paris, Ed- 

 gar county, Charleston, Coles county, 

 Windsor, Shelby county. Noble, Rich- 

 land county, Steelville, Randolph coun- 

 ty, and Metropolis, Massac county. 

 The Randolph Locker Association also 

 has recently purchased a small plant 

 in Sparta from a private operator. 

 The Board plans to modernize this 

 plant and expand it so many more pa- 

 trons may be accommodated. 



The seventh annual meeeting of the Co-op 



Locker Service of LaSalle county was held 

 May 31 in the Farm Bureau auditorium. 

 Despite the busy season, a fair attendance 

 was had. Manager Wm. Hegenbart gave a 

 splendid report. An election was held and 

 F. A. Gougler of the lAA was the principal 

 speaker. 



When making hay this year, cut in die 



late afternoon. This produces hay with 

 higher nutritive value than when cut in the 

 morning. Wind row as soon as wilted, put 

 in barn as soon as dry. Cut and cure hay 

 only in dry, hot, fast curing weather, to 

 save Vitamins A and D.
