This State Leads In
AAA Cooperation
North Carolina led all the other
states in the East Centra! region in
number and percentage of eligible
farms placed under provisions of the
1942 Agricultural Conservation pro
gtaai, according to a report' of farm
practice plans received by E. Y.
Floyd of State College, AAA execu
tive officer.
Mr. Floyd said that of the 237,494
eligible farms in the state, operators
of 226,364, or 95.3 per cent, indicat
ed their intention to participate in
the program this year. The number
of cooperating operators is 96.8 per
cent of the 233,835 farm operators
contacted by county and community
AAA committeemen.
Placing second to North Carolina
in percentage obtained was Dela
ware where 8,843 farms out of a to
tal of 9,388 eligible units were placed
under the program. This is a record
of 94.2 per cdtit.
Second largest state in the region
in number of farms is Kentucky
where there are 211,779 eligible un
its. Of this number, operators of 191,
877, or 90.6 per cent, plan to cooper
ate this year, the report showed.
In the entire region there were
938,822 farms listed as eligible and
827,834 operators placed their farms
under the program. This is 88.2 per
cent of the total. The East Central
region includes: North Carolina,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Delaware, Vir
ginia, West Virginia and Maryland.
Mr. Flo^d said signifying an inten
tion to participate in the farm pro
gram means an operator plans to
plant within his acreage allotments
and to carry out soil building prac
tices, such as seeding legumes and
grasses, using limestone and phos
phate, restoring old pastures and
creating new ones, and plowing un-'
der green manure crops.
| State W.P.A. Labor
Is Available For
Work On Farms
?#
j Over 2-MMM) Workers Leave
WPA in Past Six
Months
Raleigh ? "The North Carolina
WPA has always tried to work It
self out of a job by returning certi
fied workers to private employment
as rapidly as possible," stated WPA
Administrator "X!.m C. McGinnis.
"Through the years and this year
we have informed farmers and all
kinds of employers of labor that
workers on WPA projects are always
available when needed for farm
work or any other kind of work in
any given locality."
Prom July 1, 1941, to February 1,
1942. 24,126 workers either left WPA
or had their employment terminated
[with. .WPA for various reasons. The
'average WPA employment for that
period was 24,670. This shows almost
a 100 per cent turnover in WPA
workers. It is definitely known that
7,376 of those were placed in private
employment. McGinnis reported that
last week 837 workers left WPA.
During the month of January, 963
WPA workers were placed in pri
vate jobs by the recently created
WPA Division of Training and Re
employment. This division has re
cently instituted a farm placement
section. All farm agents in the sev
eral counties of North Carolina have
been informed of the WPA policy
and they have been urged to coop
erate in placing WPA workers in
farm jobs wherever they are need
ed The new section coordinates its
efforts with the farm placement un
it of the U. S Employment Service.
In order that all farmers, or any
employer needing workers, bo again
informed of the WPA policy, McGin
nis issued the following statement:
"Anyone needing farm labor who
is unable to obtain.it at the prevail
| ing farm wage, is advised to apply
at the nearest U. S. Employment Of
fice or to any local WPA official.
WPA will make available any qual
ified workers under its jurisdiction.
Employers should also feel free to
offer a job to any qualified person
whom they know is working on the
WPA. If anyone working on WPA
is offered a job, whether through the
U. S. Employment Service, a WPA
official, or directly by the person
who wishes to hire him, and refuses
to accept the offer, he will be im
mediately terminated from WPA.
This is providing, of course, that the
wage offered is the prevailing one
for similar work in the community,
and that he is able to do the work
offered, and that working conditions
are reasonable.
"Citizens are requested to cooper
ate by advising W. C. Wilson, di
rector of Training and Reemploy
ment at the WPA Raleigh office of
any instance where a WPA official
fails to cooperate in attempting to
fill their labor requirements, or
where a WPA project worker re
fuses to accept a bona fide offer of
private employment. Prompt inves
tigation will be mode and appropri
ate action taken in each such in
stance reported.
"It is the purpose of WPA to pro
vide useful public work for needy
unemployed citizens who arc unable
to secure private employment. It is
not the intention of the WPA to
keep anyone employed on a project
who is offered fair and reasonable
private employment."
WPA has caused 1,395 workers to
receive training in skills needed by
the war effort. Of those 1,048 were
found jobs by the reemployment di
vision. "This is one phase of the
WPA effort to move our employees
into private industry," explained
Wilson.
by General J. Van B. Metts, State
Director of Selective Service.
This policy will make it possible |
for registrants who have dependents !
to obtain commissions, if they can j
qualify themselves for commission, j
and thereby enable them to serve in j
the armed forces of the nation in this
hour of grave emergency and at the
same time take care of their depend
ents, the director stated.
Pending the formulation of pro
cedure with respect to this matter,
registrants desiring further informa
tion regarding their opportunity to
volunteer for this purpose were ad
vised by the director to file their
names and addresses with their lo
cal boards. Full information will be
furnished them as soon as it is avail
able.

What Should You Save To Help?
WASHINGTON. D. C.?The following table luued by the Treasury
Department is intended ae a savings yardstick for the average income
earner. It suggests how everyone of the 48,000,000
employed persons in the United States may partici
pate in the war effort through the systematic purchase
of Defense Savings Bonds.
- "The job ahead of us is far bigger than moet'ef us
realise," Secretary Morgenthau declared in making
the table public. '1 know that the American people
are ready to do their part to win the war. One of the
ways we can do much more is by Intensifying our
effort m the purchase of Defense Bonds."
While persona without dependents may be able to
set aside more than the suggested figures, persons
with several dependents, or with other heavy family
obligations, may be unable to save at the suggested
rate, the Treasury Department pointed oat

a Kitchen apron
-i? a uniform
j to be proud
of these days!
AMERICA'S strength in its present
struggle can be no greater than the
strength?-individually and collectively?of
its people.
And that strength beqins ... in the
kitchen. Not just in the big diet kitchens
and nutrition centers . . . but in the family
kitchen. Your kitchen.
Whether you wear it, or direct someone
eke who does?a kitchen apron is a uni
form to be proud of! There'll be no medals,
no promotions. No congressional citations.
But at the final Victory, every homemaker
who now does her part in Nutrition for De-.
fense will be numbered among the heroes!
First, realize that enough food may not
be enough. A satisfied appetite may con
ceal what nutrition experts now call "hidden
hunger" ... a dangerous lack of essential
vitamins, minerals, and complete proteins.
Begin now to use our government's "Nu
tritional Yardstick." Consult it?every day
?for every meal?whenever you buy gro
ceries, whenever you plan a meal. Cook
carefully, avoid waste. Accurately con
trolled, easily measured Electric heat is
helpful.
A proper diet does not mean an exor
bitant grocery bill. Plan your meals for
maximum nutrition and you may be sur
prised to find a saving in your food budget!
