NOT WASTE The War Department announces that eight Arm mu nance plants, in operation or building, have been pu m sand by condition, closed or their completion postpon'd cause of the changed war and Lend-Lease needs. In order to avert criticism, because of the inconvmiw and dislocation of local ocmmunities, the Department, job out that the facilities were originally planne din or m 1 assure ample munitions for our forces and our Allies. The fortunes of war and the failure of the eiH-n>> | destroy, munition plans overseas altered the situation and made it unnecessary to operate or complete the plant;, ,u contemplated. It certainly would be extremely foolish l’or econ)iii> minded Americans to lambast the War Department <n ' ground of waste and extravagance in connection with h ■ plants. It would have been inconseivable stupidity to haw failed to provide for the possible misfortunes of war. This observation applies to all activities connected w; h production of the material of warfare. It is not possibe t<> estimate with certainty the amount of various supplies ‘her will be needed. Provision must be made for the maxinum amounts that could be needed and, if the fortunes of war prove otherwise, productive facilities can be reduced. This is a far better program than to wait for an emerf n cy to occur and then attempt the impossible task of imme diately creating additional productive units. The same reasoning applies to the production schedule of the Navy, which calls for the doubling of the size of the Fleet by the end of this year and includes a ship construe ion program that runs through 1947. Certainly, no responsible official can read the future and consequently the ship ''(in struction program must be large enough to take care of ,ny possible eventuality. Obviously, in 1945 or 194G, it may appear that the cen struction of all the ships commenced will be unnecessary. Thereupon construction will undoubtedly cease but it should not be said that the initial program and the beginning >f construction was wasteful. As a matter of fact, the program is an exhibition of h- I telligent prudence and a determination to have what is ie> ' essary for victory, regardless of future misfortunies and du- \ asters. ^ _ — ■* _ v J BONDS OVER AMERICA * * \ In San Antonio, Texas, stands » mission fort of which is written: 1 Thermopylae had her messenger of defeat, the Ala mo had none." 182 men gave their lives here in 1856.

"An attempt to revive this bit ot legislation will be made as soon as Congress returns to Washing ton and we have hopes of overrid ing the Presidential veto, of th. bill” said Commissioner Scott. He artded that he had "received assurance from commissioners of agriculture of several states that the fight for the passage of the measure is by no means finish ed." In its initial passage, '.he bib received the unanimous support ol both houses of Congress. Agricultural Review Has50,000Circulation Raleigh, N. C„ August 12th— The circulation of the Agricultui . j Review, bi-weekly publication ol the State Department of Agricul ture is now 50,000 according to Thompson Greenwood, publicist for the Department. The paper, which was begun as a mimeographed sheet in 1925 by W. R. Richardson is sent free ot charge to farmers of North Ca rolina. "I think that this circulation increase is indicative of a desire on the part of our farmers to be come better informed on what is sappening on the agricultural , front,” said Greenwood in com menting on the fact that the cir culation of the Review has virtual ly doubled during the past 12 1 months. , Peanut Growers Protest Ceiling Prices Herbert C.

Among these will j he Secretary ol Agriculture W alk er. President of the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation Holsinget, and Congressman V\ ynder R. Harris of Norfolk. Plans for the two state meet ing were formulated ;n lea meetings held in several counties of the two states, and a large rep resentation from all counties ol the entire peanut producing area is certain to he had. The movement against unfai. peanut ceilings for the North Ca rolina-Virginia belt got under way several weeks ago when growers and agriculiture leaders rose up in protest and made plans for or ganized pressure. Cnder the pres sent set up oil peanuts, which are grown principally in the states to the south, may bring as mu h per pound as the premium quality Virginias and Jumbos, which are grown principally in North C roli na and Virginia.
