Agricultural Workers Say
Each County Must Read
Goals For Coming Year.
"This is no time for experiments
it is a time for producing th
maximum in food and fed thos
things that you know will grow
best on every acre," the agricultural
workers council of this county was
told last Friday as 1944 production
goals were presented by state ex
tension workers.
"North Carolina farmers will get
more fertilizer in 1944 than they
used in 1941, which was a peak
year," M. H. Wilson, district AAA
!'eld worker said. "Farmrrs must
get their fertilizers earlier thaji
usual, in order to relieve transpor
tation facilities of the peak load,
he pointed out.
"During 1944, we will get 30 to
40 per c.nt more farm machinery,
ell of which adds up to the fact
that all needed fertilizers and ma
chinery will be available under
present plans to produce these 1944
goals which must be reached," Mr.
Wilson stressed.
Miss Anna K. Rowe, district home
demonstration supervisor, strew
ed that every county must becom
self-sustaining, and first produce
for home use. We must produce
what is best suited to each locality
in 1944, she said, at we produce
more feed for livestock, and we
must begin on the program now,
she pointed out with much empha
sis. Miss Margaret Fuller, of the
Farm Security Administration, told
the group that 16 per cent of all
food taken into the home was wast
ed, and that six per cent was plate
waste. It is estimated that tw
billion loaves cf bread are wasted)
weekly in America) which Jspnly
a'bout dne " slice "per) family "eaeji
week. It has been found that SO
per cent of all fruit and vegetables
are wasted because of lack of har
vest. That waste can be stopped
by careful conservation.
"Another undue waste is by in
sects and rats.
I "The largest and most economi
cal supply of food is to stop plate
wast:," she pointed out.
Miss Fuller made the following
suggestions for meeting the con
tinued practice of plate waste:
Tip the soup bowl.
Gnaw the bone.
Sop the gravy.
Sque zj the grapefruit.
"By doing th:se things, and serv
ing just enough, the housewives of .
America can help produce more
food by wasting less," Miss Fuller
pointed out.
Haywood county was given a 20
per cent increase in burley acreage
for 1944, which brings the total to
1,531 acres. Based on present in
dicated prices, this will bring in
many extra thousands of dollars,
it was pointed out.
The production goals as adopted
and alloted Haywood are:
Corn 14,891 acres
Oats 717 acres
Rye 242 acres
Wheat 1,000 acres
