At the present time he has
something over 100 head of cows

Mr. Lesh is not interested in

has bought many a fine dairy

sold it somewhere in the neighborhood.
When ever a dairyman
in Brunswick, New Hanover or

Mr. Lesh is usually on hand as
a buyer. If the calves happen to
be heifers and of good stock they
are raised to milk cows. If the
calves are bulls they are fattened

ays That N. C. Allotted N
450 Tractors, Against
Four For Neighboring
State, Because Farm
Records Were
Available
On a recent visit to this coun- ai
r Frank Parker, Raleigh, agri
lltural statistician for the U. S. "
epartment of Agriculture gave Y
>me of his exepriences while he 'J
as up in Washington in the inirest
of the farmers of this state 1!
i trying to obtain farm machin y,
etc., for them.
Mr. Parker stated that one of n
lr neighboring states was un>le
to get but four tractors, for c
le simple reason that they had
>t kept accurate records of c<
hat they had been doing in the n'
ay of threshing and harvesting ai
ir the past few years.
Then came North Carolina's 01
me to see what they were go- a
g to be allotted, and Mr. Parker w
ated that the gentlemen in e!
'ashington made the remark
lat "there are the gentlemen J
ora North Carolina, and there is g,
) other way but to give them gi
hat thev ask for." Then Mr. .
arker replied, "Well Gentlemen
:re are the records of what our ir
ate has been doing." w
BJ
The result was that North Car- ^
ina was allotted 450 tractors, rj
ipproximately), for the simple p;
lason that our peanut picker ope- sj
tors, threshing machine opera- fC
rs, bean harvester operators, ni
c., had cooperated with the deu-tment
in sending in then- re- m
>rts. pi
Mr. Parker stated that it was w
matter of vital importance that tt
rery operator of these machines b;
irn in an accurate report of cl
hat he is doing if we, in North w
irolina, are to get our maximum in
iota of farming machinery and|

available in 1944 has been announced
by the War Food Administration,
according to C. O. Bennett,
chairman of the County USDA
War Board.
Reflecting the prospects for increased
machinery production in
1944, the new program provides
for distribution control over only
46 types of farm machinery, of
which only 31 actually are on the
list of rationed items, Bennett
said. Tieht' oroduction and distri
bution factors made it necessary
to put distribution and rationing
controls in effect on 91 items of
machinery for the 1943 farm machinery
manufacturing year.
"Although some production
difficulties are expected, the machinery
outlook for 1944 is much
improved," he declared. "ProducWPB
order L-257 is authorized Qt
tion of new machinery under
an average of 80 per cent of 1940,
which was a better than normal
production year. Compare this
with the authorization of 40 per
cent of 1940 under Lrl70 for this
year, and it is easy to see why
we expect more machinery in the
near future.. The WPB recently
advanced the beginning of the
farm machinery manufacturing'
year to July 1 in order to make *
some of next year's machinery
available this fall."
In view of the improved out-,- '
look, he said, the new distribution
and rationing program is designed
to place greater responsibility
for distribution in normal
trade relatonships among farmer*,'
dealers, and manufacturers, ltte (.
new progrdm takes force under
Food Production Order No. 14 and
Supplement 1 to the order, both
of which became effective on October
