SURVEY SHOWS SHORTAGE
OF FOOD AND FEED IN N. C.
Rural North Carolina is not producing
enough food and feed for its
own needs, a survey just completed
by the State College extension service
ami the Triple-A indicates. In
formation was obtained from farms
in 21 counties, representing a cross
section of the state.
The summary reveals that 99 per
cenl of the farm families planted
some sort of a home garden last
year, but only 77 per cent planted
a sufficient acreage to provide adequate
supply of fresh and canned
vegetables for home use. In livestock,
78 per cent of the farmers reported
owning at least one milk cow,
but only 30 per cent owned enough
cows to supply sufficient milk for
their families on a year-round basis;
yi per cent reported some hogs, but
: only 75 per cent owned enough for
: an adequate supply of work; 96
per cenl reported chickens, but
: there were only 32 per cent with
enough poultry to supply family
needs.
In reference to canning and storing
foods, 92 per cent reported that
some vegetables were canned while
only 36 per cent canned enough to
supply family health requirements;
i no -- ? -i * * -
j ao per rein stored potatoes but only
79 per cent stored enough; 4C per
! cent stored beans and peas, but only
43 per cent stored a sufficiency;
and 22 per cent put up syrup but
only 16 per cent stored a sufficient
amount.
John W. Goodman, assistant director
of the extension service, says
that the "Food and Feed for Family
Living" campaign which has the
active co-operation and endorsement
of Governor Broughton aims
to correct at least a part of this
condition. Farm families who produce
at least 75 per cent of thenfood
and feed requirements in 1941
will receive certificates of merit
signed by Governor Broughton and
other leaders.
