our people, with their farm and
home needs, plus asaklng a great
contribution to the war effort.
Over S3 million pounds of milk
and two million dosen eggs and
more, which we are going to pro
duce In Wilkes county this year,
^111 materially help out In this
great food prognam in which we
are all engaged. You can see from
the food goals which have been
set up for our county, that every
one is going to bo kept busy this
year:
Milk, pounds 33,978,000

Three very important items in

apples for market.
Our orchardists will do all that
they can to help out in the war ef
fort by producing ail fruit that is
possible.
The business of growing broil
ers and pigs for the market is go
ing to reach a new high in the
county this year. In spite of the
fact that our farmers ere handi
capped for the lack of labor, ma
chinery and fertilizer, they are
going to do everything within
their power to see that the above
goals are met, and In addition, the
people living in. towns are going
to produce more poultry and veg-

'Rlnce January 1, Mr, Gray* re
ports he has placed II renlar
tenant farmers. During the.«.n-
rmalnde); of the year most of his
work will be In cooperation with
the extension servicM in the coun
ties that have these labor prob
lems in recruiting harveat hands
for perishable vegetable crops.
Due to the extreme cold weath
er, the fruit crops in Wilkes
county will be somewhat reduced
and Mr.-Oray does not believe that
the harvest of these crops will be
a mejor problem this year. How
ever, he states that there will be a
number of pe^le employed In this
activity. The major concern of
Wilkes county Is year-round
workers as this county does not
have a large acreage of any sea
sonal crop. There will be need In
this county of some harvest hands
and seasonal workers but there
will be sufficient labor to take
care of these needs.
Mr. Gray .urgently requests all
farmers needing workers to get
in touch with him at the local
United States Emiployment Ser
vice office. He also' urges all per
sons who can help full time or
part time on some farms this year
to make themselves available.
The United States Employment
Service is ready at all times to
give their time and services to this
big program of raising food for
victory.
