\<lvise Planning
For A Long War
Advisability of laying their farm
dans for a long war was urged to
lay upon small farmers who are!
^arm Security Administration bor
owers by James C Eubanks, FSA
'ounty Supervisor, and Mrs. Henry
Jriffin, FSA Home Management Su
jcrvisor, in Martin County.
"Home gardens," Mrs. Griffin said,
'will achieve their purpose better if
hey are laid out with at least a five
rear war in mind. We still have a
ong row to hoe, and complacency
s out for the duration."
She cautioned against a tendency
o plant in home gardens only vege
ables which can be harvested this
rear. Perennial crops, and small
truits such as strawberries, raspber
ries, blackberries, quince, grapes and
rherries should be included wherev
er possible, she added, even though
they will not yield a crop for two
years or more.
"Even if this war should be won
this year or next." Eubanks com
mented, "the whole hungry world
will turn to the American farmer
as the only bulwark between it and
mass-famine. Then as now, the wel
fare of the world and the health and
strength of future generations will
depend on the American farmers'
ability to produce as never before.
"Many small farmers have over
looked excellent opportunities for
profit in the production of small
fruits," Eubanks continued. "They
make good outlets for family and
off-season labor, and because of
high vitamin content are a very val
uable addition to the family diet"
Eubanks pointed out that the gov
ernment is asking every farm family
to grow as much as possible of the
food needed for home use. He said
that fruits and berries are especial
ly adaptable for canning in these
days of sugar shortage.
An important feature of Farm Se
curity Administration loans is that
the loans provide financial support
for a long-range planning, thus mak
ing it possible for farmers to start

Germany, but officials recently back
from Berlin warn that the German
people are not likely to "crack up"
under the strain, that outward pres
sure will be required to smash that
country.
Little important news is coming
out of Washington today. One report
states that the extension of the gas
rationing system to the west is now
considered likely Plans to lower the
draft age from 20 to 18 years are
being carried over until next year,
a spokesman stating that no action
was to be expected in that connec
tion unless unforseen developments
present themselves.
War Production Board Chief Nel
son said today that American pro
duction, three months ahead of
schedule, is greater than that of
Britain now.
Plant Managers Arc
Praising the Women
Plant managers, always unwilling
to make comparisons of efficiency
ratios between men and women
workers, are beginning to get more
outspoken about it, now that females
are moving into vital war jobs in
ever-increasing numbers. Last week
officials of the Pullman-Standard
Car Manufacturing company seem
ed glad to give credit where credit
was due?i.e., "to the ladies." The
concern's huge transport plane wing
plant put 100 women to work on
light sub-assemblies a few months
ago. Now it comes out that produc
tion hit 125 per cent of the plant's '
quota, partly as a result of the wo
men's efforts. "The women, bless
them,' one executive said, "are plen
ty good." Many of the original 100
women have graduated to more re
sponsible positions one is laying
out templates; another has a place
on an inspection bench. "A good
worker's a good worker, male or fe
male, in this so-called man's war,"
said the spokesman.
?
Baskets
The factory value of baskets made
for the fruit and vegetable industry
in the United States is more than
$14,000,000 annually, according to a
recent estimate.
Climbing
The production of frozen foods
continues to climb, with the 1942 to
tal expected to run about 823,931,000
pounds as compared with 555,881,000
pounds in 1940.
a well-rounded, well-balanced farm
ing program, and to get away from
dependence on "year-at-a-time" cash
crop farming, Eubanks concluded.
