Evans Reports Britain
Looking To U. S. Farmer
Farm Adjustment Official
Says English Are
Short Of Food
By GUY A. CARDWELL
General Agricultural Agent
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co.
R. M. Evans, administrator, Agri
cultural Adjustment Administration
recently spent a month in Eng
land. He found the British to be
definitely short of food. The fol
lowing excerpts are from Mr.
Evans’ story entitled “Britain’s
Hope Is the American Farmer,”
in which he tells about his visit.
The complete article is published
in U. S. Department of Agricul
ture Extension Service Review,
December issue:
“During our visit we were on
food rations just like everyone
else. I had one egg for breakfast
during the entire four weeks we
were there. I saw only one or
ange, and it was-being eaten by
an aviator who regarded it as
quite a novelty. Like many Ameri
cans, I’m accustomed to eating
heartily—and more than once I
got up from the table still hungry.
It did not hurt us any, but Paul
Appleby lost eight pounds and I
lost 10.
“The Government is doing a
good job of handling the food over
there, and it is being distributed
fairly. Everyone gets all the bread
and potatoes he needs, but the al
lowances of meat, cheese, eggs,
butter, lard, milk, and vegetables
is very limited. People doing ex
tra heavy work get extra rations,
and children and nursing mothers
get all the fresh milk. A fine sys
tem has been developed in the
community feeding centers where
people can get a meal for 18 or
20 cents in our money, or free
if they haven’t the money. Prob
ably some of the really poor-people
are getting a better share of the
total food supply under today’s
wartime rations than they were
previously under their own peace
time needs.
“Nobody is starving in Britain,
but there is not nearly enough
high-energy food for best work.
Ernest Bevin, the Minister of La
bor, told us: ‘A lot of our people
look as though they are in good
shape, but they have not the vi
tality or staying power. They need
more protein. Give us the meat,
and we will increase our produc
tion 15 to 20 per cent.’
“An American research doctor
pointed out the large number of
people on the streets who wore
small bandages and said: They
lack vitamin foods. If they receive
a scratch, it doesn’t heal rapidly.
You might scratch your hand, and
in a day or'two it would be healed;
but with them it takes a couple
of weeks.’ .
“No one knows, of course, how
the war will end. I am filled with
admiration for the brave spirit of
the British people. Nevertheless,
we must recognize that they—and
the entire fight for freedom—are
dependent upon the production of
our farms and factories over here.
Our farm defense program is all
important. We must send supplies.
We represent their hope for peace
and victory. If we should let them
down, not only would we endanger
our own future and the future of
world democracy, but also we
would be letting down one of "the
most courageous people the world
has ever seen.” 1

TO HOG KILLING
Columbus County Has Ex
cellent Sweet Potato Crop
This Year, Says Hufham
BY JOSEPH HUFHAM
DELCO, Jan. 11.—This cold snap
certainly has been ideal for hog
killings around these parts. And
in our travels we have passed farm
homes where we saw anywhere
from one to six nice porkers
dressed.
Now, in pork season it is desira
ble that there be plenty of sweet
potatoes on hand. Many a farmer
likes to “dab a tater” into his fresh
pork gravy.
It also happens that Columbus
county has one of the finest potato
crops this year in all its history.
Not a single farmer has told us
that his sweet potatoes did badly
this year. On the contrary, most
of those we contacted on the sub
ject, was ready to stick out his
chest and do a little honest brag
ging on his sweet spuds.
There is an old adage, or pro
verb, or something that says it is
only fair for each frog to praise
his own pond. This time, how
ever, each farmer seems justified
in yelling loud, and Ion gabout the
in yelling loud, and long about the
toes.
Then there is J. H. Bordeaux, of
the Livingston community, who has
others than himself singing prais
es about his sweet potatoes. He
made a fine supply this year and
some of his potatoes got scattered
all around the Delco community,
and even the school children w’10
sampled them did not hesitate to
say that they were the sweetest
sweet potatoes that they had ever
eaten.
One can hardly chomp down up
on one of Mr. Bordeaux’s spuds
without saying: “Um! ummm!”
There is a delicious honey flavor
in them that seems almost too rare
to be true. And to have sweet po
tatoes with a distinctive sweeter
flavor, so that it gains special no
tice out of an all around frop of
fine potatoes, really means some
thing.
- The only thing now is that Mr.
Bordeaux’s potatoes are no longer
plentiful. The neighborhood caught
onto their rare flavor so quickly
that tliey have “um, ummmed,”
away nearly all the surplus, so
that the remainder Mr. Bordeaux
has, he wishes to keep for home
consumption.
However, it is well to know that
there are other fine' banks in the
community, that contain more than
the immediate families need, and
the great amount of pork stacked
about in smokehouses, and the
barns bulging with com, in spite
of war clouds breaking up and
raining shot and shell, old eastern
North Carolina has much to be
thankful for in these, th~ first days
of the New Year.

BANKERS HELPING
SOUTHEASTERN U.S.
DAIRY BUSINESS
Recognize Importance Of
Livestock Industry In De
velopment; Of States
NEW YORK, N. Y„ Jan. 11.—
Credit should be given to wide
awake and public spirited bankers
in the Southeastern States of Vir
ginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Flor
ida, and Alabama, for their early
recognition of the importance of
the livestock industry in the devel
opment of these Tide Water States,
says the American banker of New
York, the only daily banking news
paper, in a story based on state
ments made in a recent survey by
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad.
Since the withdrawal of hundreds
of thousands of acres of land from
the cultivation of cotton and tobac
co because of over-production and
the curtailing or complete stoppage
of the foreign markets to these
staples, industrial leaders and oth
ers in a position to stimulate initia
tive in the southeastern states have
been using every effort to encour
age the promotion of diversified
livestock, to take the place in the
agriculture, which means more
economy of the region affected by
the enforced reduction in these two
great cash crops.
Surveys through the Tide Water
south during the past year have
revealed, that the Army demand
plus the increased civilian demand
have greatly increased activity
among livestock and poultry pro
ducers. Contacts with bankers, spe
cialists in animal husbandry and
agriculture, coimty agricultural
dairying of the State colleges of
agents, and specialists in livestock
and agriculture of the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad Company,
have revealed that durint the past
year the banks of these states have
financed the introduction pf pure
bred bulls to cross with the native
scrub cattle.
During recent months the impor
tation of good dairy cows into the
Carolinas from Ohio, Tennessee,
and other states has been marked.
County agents in Florida reported
recently that a shortage in milk
seemed imminent in parts of that
state and that it was almost cer
tain that more dairy cows would
because of the Army demand. It
was said that the banks cooperated
in financing stock importations.
A banker in southeast Georgia
reported recently that he had fi
nanced the introduction from the
west of two car-loads of pure-bred
Hereford bulls to cross with the
native scrub cows. The bull was
more than one-half the herd in im
proving the quality of the beef, he
explained, and good livestock was
on a cash basis today. Thousands
of acres of natural pasture land,
open pine forest country, are being
built up by providing improved
grasses, so as to be able to support
a larger number of head of stock.
At Kissimmee, Fla., old-time
cow country in the center of the
state, it was said by County Agent
Gunn that 9,000 acres had been put
into improved pastures in Osceola
County in the past year. A single
acre in improved grasses, he said,
would support a cow most of the
year, while on an average it would
take ten acres of wire gass pas
ture to support one throughout the
year. In Florida 400,000 acres of
grazing land have been highly im
proved as pasture, and 3,000,000
acres have been partically improv
ed. One of the biggest cattlemen
in Florida, who came down from
Wyoming, stated last fall at Ar
cadia, in southern Florida, near
which he is established, that he
could carry a steer in Florida for
$3.00 a year, while it would cost
$15.00 in Wyoming owing to winter
feeding.
Improvement of pastures and
quality of the livestock are the two
most important factors in the de
velopment of this already substan
tial industry in the southeastern
states. To the development of pas
tures the U. S. Department of Agri
culture is giving much attention,
while the banks have helped hot a
little in financing the introduction
of improved livestock.

WEED ALLOTMENTS
BOOST EXPLAINED
Consumption Of Cigarettes
Sets All Time Record In
Last Half Of 1941
RALEIGH, JaJn. 11.—An all-time
record consumption of cigarettes
during toe last six months of 1941
led to the 10 per cent increase in
flue-cured tobacco allotments for
1942, E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive
assistant of State collee, said to
day. Cigarette smoking increased
18 per cent during that period over
the corresponding months in 1940.
Floyd said that North Carolina’s
flue-cured tobacco allotment for
this year is approximately 562,650
acres. This compares with an al
lotment of 511,500 acres in 1941.
In toe nation-as-a-whole, toe
flue-cured tobacco crop last year
was about 650 million pounds. The
market will probably consume
about 750 million pounds in 1942.
Floyd pointed out that four-fifths
of the flue-cured tobacco used in
the United States goes into cigar
ettes. The consumption of cigar
ettes has been steadily increasing
for the past several years, but
the average annual increase has
been only about 6 per cent.
The 1942 marketing quota and
farm acreage allotments were an
nounced in October at the 1941
level. Since then, the increase in
domestic consumption has contin
ued to rise. Also, the export re
quirements of countries allied
against the Axis powers have indi
cated that more tobacco will be
needed in 1942 than was originally
anticipated.
“There is every evidence that
flue-cured tobacco growers will ex
perience a good year in 1942,”
Floyd said, “if they can overcome
shortages of labor and essential
materials, such as tobacco plant
bed cloth. Attempts 'are being
made to solve both problems.”

of 15 Myrtle avenue, a fellow
church member, was first arrested
December 20 and released under
$2,500 bail, but she failed to appear
for questioning. She was taken into
custody on Christmas day.
Meanwhile, Wachenfeld said, oth
er complaints were received and
her bail was raised to $50,000, high
est ever set for a women in the
county.
Unable to iVise the bail, Mrs.
Carr remained in jail. Expressions
such as "canary” and "did you
think I’d blow my top?” in her
replies to police questions aroused
suspicions, Wachenfeld said.
Wachfeld said one of Mrs. Carr’s
practices was to represent herself
as a wealthy church worker and
attempt to have others “invest”
funds through her.
He said her victims seldom got
any return on their money, unless
they complained very much and
then they usually got back their
money with interest.
She was sentenced to New Jersey
State prison in 1901 for defrauding
an Atlantic City hotel, and also
served prison terms.in Pittsburgh,
Philadelphia, Walla Walla and Spo
kane, Wash. Her record included
20 arrests, with 15 states wanting
her at the present time, Wachen
feld added. 3
