The Food Waste Situation
A bit of butter is left on a plate, a
carrot shrivels and is discarded
small, isn't it? But multiply that loss
by our Nation's 34 million homes. If
every citizen, of the I'nited States
saved only 1-2 ounce of butter every
week, the total would be as much as
the butter used by our entire armed
forces in 1942. One hundred and
thirty million ounces slightly more
than 8 million pounds of butter; 130
million vegetables can help feed
many families and many lighting men.
Little every-day wastes also make big
yearly losses in faivily funds. What economic standard of the farmer,
do these small quantities of waste t Business men and government lead
amount to? Accumulatively they.ers are finally beginning to realize
amount approximately to 15 per cent
of the grocery bills. From Education

cil where a program for the future
for the fiber was planned, a program
which will encourage more intensive
cultivation, cleaner harvesting and
farmers' benefit for many years.
Though Mr. Shaw touched upon a
number of the vital issues facing the
farmer now, his address might have
been titled: "The Farmer and The
Future of our Nation." In his open
ing remarks he stated that the or
ganization which he represented was
back of our war effort to a man, and
that the first resolution adopted by
the National Farm Bureau convention
pledged its all to the cause of this
country. We can't all go across and
take our place in the battle-fronts
but, he declared, we can do our own
important part here on the farms.
Then he called attention to the ag
itation for the closing of the tobacco i
markets and the argument over the
injustice of the ceiling prices. This, j
he stated, was largely a grandstand ,
performance by politicians. And, he;
pointed out. the delegations which '
had gone to Washington had been

Shaw stated Irankly", "when other
commodities are selling below parity.
I ask that the people share with me
a sense of fairness toward other
farmers who are raising other com
modities. There is some Injustice

"The South," the speaker declared, i
"is now beginning to realize that it is :
lib longer a colonial possession of the 1
United States. It has the best lands !
for farming and the best climate for,
industrial operations. Through coop- ,
eiation of the farmers and the busi-
nessmen of the South, the people will
see that the Southland will come into
its own alter this war. unequal
freight rates and other discriminato-1
ry regulations will have to be remov
ed at the people's demand."
Our boys and girls have a perfect
right to enjoy the same benefits as
those of other sections of the Nation
where individual farm incomes are
I greater than in the South. ' It will j
take organization to bring this about." j
Mr. Shaw declared, "and the Farm
Bureau is planning to Kelp in this eco- j
nomic strengthening of the South.'
He pointed out that the Farm Bureau
was organized some 2il years ago for
'he principal purpose of aiding in the i
effort to increase farm income. This ;
was at a time when the farmers rep-
resented one-fourth of the population
of the countrv and received only about
6 per cent of the total national in-

tuate with the rise and fall
of the

' ists are beginning to think of their
, businesses in this economic relation- ,
'ship, which fact will help maintain a:
I more even status of the farmer in the
future," concluded Mr. Shaw.

If business and industry does not
do this job, he stated, it will fall on
the government to do so. Our men in
the fighting forces are not offering
their lives on the altar of our coun
try's honor just so they can return
home and go on the WPA. No, they
are fighting for an opportunity to live,
to work, to see and do and believe as
they ill .... and a regimented army
of WPA workers do not represent this.
It will be the job of the CED to see
that this does not happen. A unit is
being formed in every county in ev- j
cry state throughout the nation to aid
sen-icemen and war plant workers in
solving their post war difficulties,
whether it be the need for further i
education, training for a particular ;
job or the want of employment
