GOALS ARE TO BE ATTAINED

County Agent Points Out In-
portance of Meeting Food
and Feed War Goals
By J. B. SNIPES, County Agent
Several people have inquired as
to the value in dollars of our conn-
tfeioaiL.
the goals on the average pri
tion per acre and present market
price of the food and feed pro
duced, it would total approximate
ly 87,000,000. This food and feed
is worth just as much if used on
the farm and in the home as it
j would be to put it on the market.
j?7,000,000 is a lot of money, but
' the most important thing is the
fact that we need to reach our
goals in order to not only help
feed the people of Wilkes county
but the boys in the armed services
