JOPLIN GLOBE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 23,1945. WILL MOVE RATION OFFICES SATURDAY DUST BOWL PRODUCES $136,000,000 IN FOOD Topeka, Aug. old Kansas dust bowl of the early 1930's is gold-plated now. From a once desolate group of 31 counties along the state's western border, farmers this year have harvested $136,000,000 worth of i much-needed food, according to clerical staff, partially put out of j. Mohler, secretary of the Kan- at West Third Street, In Dieter Building, Leased Before War's End.

Joplin's war rationing board and business by removing of some of the rationing controls at the war's end, will move Saturday from 211 West Fourth street into new quarters in the Dieter building on the noitheast corner of Third and Wall streets. Eight rooms on the ground floor on that corner will be occupied un- der a lease signed by OPA just before the end of the war. The new address is 223 West Third street. To Aid Price Control. While many rationing controls are being removed, OPA has an- i nounced plans for stepped up price control activities and much of the woik of the local board in the months ahead will have to do with the price program in the interest of preventing runaway inflation.

Because of importance attached to this work, it is anticipated that ra- tiomn? boards will be kept on the job for a considerable period of time. Board members give their services free, but a clerical force is employed Announcing- plans for the move yesterday, Chairman T. J. Molloy of the rationing- board explained that for more than a year the board has been in cramped quarters at 211 West Fourth street, and some 60 to 90 days before Japan surrendered negotiations were begun by OPA for the new location. The transaction had been completed be- foie the war ended so that it was Kdecided to go ahead with the move.

Because some of the looms sag state board of agriculture. That is an average of $6,200 for each of the 21,880 farms located dead center of the area where great clouds of black dust choked the hardy men who stuck it out until the rains came. Many abandoned the section but those who stayed are drawing a handsome reward. This Isn't the first year that western Kansas farmers have found money instead of silt in their overall pockets. In 1942 the wheat crop was even larger but the dollar value of the grain they raised this season is an all-time high.

The 31 counties harvested 96,000,000 bushels of golden wheat, 45 per cent of this breadbasket state's total production. Mohler says It Is evident that there is plenty of good dirt left in the "gold bowl." The acre yield in those 31 counties was 2 5 bushels per acre above the state average.
