I be too late. The War Pood Ad
ministrator is asking the farmers
to plant to the limit for critical

to minimize the important of
other essential crops Expanded
production also of feed ?trains

to help with the harvests this
' year. Acting with manufacturers
and with other agencies of Gov
ernment. we will do our best to
see that more harvesting machi
nery is ready by the time it is
, needed. We will work for con
tinuing price supports at fair
levels in order to minimize risks
in tlie market place We ask fann
ers. on their part, in the days
that remain of spring planting
t j take an extra degree of change

plant in full the acreages they
can expect to handle under the
most favorable circumstances."

Farmers To
Report On
AAA Compliance
In an effort to reduce travel
and use of manpower, farmer- of
Cherokee County this year will
report their own compliance with
provisions of the 1943 AAA pro
gram. i: w.i announced today
by J. H Hampton, chairman of
the County AAA Committee.
"Under this plan, which may be
called an honor system, we hope
to save money, travel, tires, gaso
(line and the time of persons who
otherwise probably would be en
gaged in agricultural production."
Chairman Hampton .said. "This
plan Is being put into effect over
the entire nation this year, and
we in Cherokee County eertuintiy
can meet up to .standard* of farm
ers in any other county."
Under this program he said
each farmer will measure his
acreage and will report it to his
County AAA Office on forms to
be provided by the office. Farm
ers also will report acreages of
crops grown for soil-building pur
poses and for which there is a
payment made under the AAA
program Marketing quotas will be
in effect this year only on cotton
and tobacco. Mr Hampton said,
but war crops, such as peanuts,
soybeans, and sweet potatoes for
market must be measured and
reported for the purpose of deter
mining if goals were met. Com
mercial truck crops and Irfch
potatoes for market also must be
reported for the purpose of deter
mining incentive payments.
Hanes Backs I Id
A
Local Merchants
With New
Campaign
This year merchants and manu
facturer alike face many new dif
ficulties. To help ease some of
these problems, the P. H. Hanes
Knitting Company, of W ins ton -
Salem, is continuing the broad
advertising program they have
followed for 31 consecutive years
Appearing in this newspaper
and in 809 other newspapers
throughout the nation, the 1943
Hanes newspaper campaign is the
largest in the underwear field.
Over the years. Hanes has
found that newspaper advertising
is an excellent means of telling
the story of their products to the
American people. It reaches them
directly and quickly. In normal
times sales are often made on the
day the advertisement appears.
The 1943 Hanes advertisements
are planned to serve three pur- j
poses:
They will be interesting to mil-1
lions of men and women who have I
sons, and other relatives and j
friends in the Service. For they
illustrate and describe the uni
forms of men in various branches
of the Service ? tell how they
are designed, down to the under
wear, for comfort and fighting
efficiency.
These messages will also help to
win friends for Hanes merchants
by reminding readers of the styl
ing. comfort and long service they
Ret from Hanes Underwear.
Mention is also made of the
fact that much of Hanes produc
tion is going to the Armed For
Ices. Tliis will help consumers and
dealers to understand why the!
supply of Hanes Underwear may
be limited this SpruiK
