Food For Freedom To Be Discussed, "Although American farmers are setting a new food production record this year, there is still not enrugh food to satisfy all the demands" says Dean I. O. Schaub, director of Agricultural Extension work at the State College, "and since America's food supply represents our greatest rotential weapon in our fight against the Axis we must produce more." In outlining the objectives to be accomplished in the 1944 "Fight for Freedom Program" which will be launched in every county in the state between November 15-19 Director Schaub points out that it is up to jur people to cooperate in every way possible in the production of more of Ihe right kind of food; to conserve this food, and avoid waste. "The demahd for food has increased from both civilians and military authorities. Civiilians are doing more work and have more money than they have had in the past. We are taking new territory from Ihe enemy every day. This territory] has been stripped of every vestige j of food and the natives are starving. We must feed them, until they can again produce their own," Dean Schaub said. Food?American food?can be the deadliest weapon of all. Plans tor producing the right kind of food will be discussed t.t a meeting to be held in Boone, November 17 at 1:30 p. m. when those in charge of the program in this section will draw up the county plans. Since the course and length of the war may depend on how successfully we produce the food, how willingly and widely we share it, how carefully we save it, how wisely we use it, every person able to produce a single item of food should cooperate fully in this program, Mr. Schaub concluded.

S. Weaver, head of agricultural engineering at State College. Beginning immediately, farmers who know of people who have; usca electricity to help meet their food goals in war times are asked to report their names to the county farm agents. Both cooperative customers ar.d public utility users are eligible. Weaver says. He hopes that every county in North Caroiina will have a* least one award winner in this campaign. By the terms of the announcement although provision has been made for plaques for every county in the United States, it is expected that i some areas will have more than one winner and some counties will have none. Baser on which the awards are to 11 be made are these: increases in production; maintenance of production i with less labor; use of time saved j by farm women through electrical ?! applainces in dairy and poultry pro " jd.uclion. gardens, canning or field ~ work; and self-sufficiency or; the s farm through tlie production of food and feed products. ^ | Complete details of the contest f j may be obtained from the managers |of the 28 cooperative REA organizations in North Carolina. ^ i Weaver urges farmers to begin 'now looking through their neighbort | hoods for persons to he nominated | to their county agenls. . - !
