Marvin Jones’ Crop Report
War Food Administrator Marvin
Jones said recently that, on the
average, farmers are meeting this
year’s production goals for field
crops. Earlier reports indicated
that livestock and livestock pro
ducts also will reach production
goals. Mr. Jones said: “We will
have enough food in this county—
given at least average weather for
the rest of the year—to give civil
ians adequate and healthful diets,
in addition to meeting military and
other essential wartime require
ments. This does not mean, of
course, that there is any better
chance than appeared earlier for
having all the food that civilians
would like to buy, or that civilian
supplies for some individual items
will not be far below the demand.
“For some important crops—in
When your doctor asks where you
prefer to have your prescription
filled, say: VARNER’S, because:
Filled only by registered pharma
cist; as written and at reasonable
prices. (Advt.) 12-18-tfc
eluding rice, oats, flaxseed, and
potatoes, estimated 1943 acreage
is well above the year’s goals.
“Acreage of corn, hay, barley,
grain sorghums, cotton, and tobac
co is about at the goals. Acreage
of sweet potatoes, dry field beans,
Peanuts, and sugar beets is below
1943 goals.”
Soldier’s Life Insurance
Soldiers—at home or abroad—
are reminded that less than three
weeks remain in which they can
get National Service Life Insur
ance without a physical examina
tion. Until August 10, 1943, every
application will be accepted re
gardless of the individual’s medi
cal condition. After August 10 a
rigid physical examination will be
required.
Program To Avoid Clothes
Rationing
A program to make clothes ra
tioning unnecessary, recently an
nounced by * Donald M. Nelson,
chairman of WPB, contains these
six po->«ts: (1) increased produc
tion, (2) orderly and adequate
distribution, (3) more “volume”
merchandise, (4) allocation of ma
terials to essential needs, (5) in
creased imports of burlap, and (6)
proper care of clothing by con
sumers. There is an adequate sup
ply of textiles to meet civilian
needs, the WPB has determined.
Farmers Will Get Gasoline
“Farmers are entitled to first
call in receiving motor fuel when
they present valid ‘E,’ ‘R’ or bulk
coupons or ration checks which
are issued pursuant to Ration
Order 5-C of the Office of Price
Administration. Dealers (whether
retail or wholesale) must accord
them this privilege. This means,
that if necessary, the dealer shall
not deliver any motor fuel for any
non - agricultural or non - military
use until these preferred demands
have been “satisfied”—statement
by Acting Petroleum Administra
tor for War Ralph K. Davies.
Dry Beans For Civilians
Civilians will get more dry beans
and peas this year than they con
sumed in 1942, said the WFA in
announcing allocations of these
foods. More than half of the 22,
200.000 hundred pound bags of
beans will go to civilians, who will
also get 1.624,000 bags of dry peas
—more than were eaten in 1942,
and 7o,ooo Dags more than the
1935-39 average civilian consump
tion.
Egg Supplies Hold Even
About the same quality of eggs
will be available to civilians in the
12 months beginning July 1, as in
the same period last year, the
WFA has indicated. Of a total of
5 billion dozen eggs, civilians will
get about 3xk billion dozen.
Soldiers Send Money By Radio
American soldiers overseas ex
cept those in Alaska, Hawaii, Pan
ama Canal Zone, and Puerto Rico
may now send money home by
radio. In a recent week more than
9,000 soldiers sent nearly $1,000,
000, in amounts of $10 or more,
with no maximum limit. Money
may be transmitted to an indi
vidual payee, or to a bank.* The
process is speedy and sure. If a
soldier desires to do so, he may
also purchase war bonds by this
method.
Farm Land Values
Farm land values on March 1,
1943 were higher than they were
in 1942, the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics said, in explaining that
the index of average per acre
values had risen to 99. (1912 to
1914 equals 100). The index of
average per acre values in March,
1942, was 91. A low point of 33
was reached in 1933 in the after
math of inflation started during
the last war. One anti-inflationary
force at the present time is the
fact that many farmers have been
using a considerable part of their
cash income to pay off mortgage
debts.
Rollback Of Vegetable Prices
Effective July 20, a rollback of
about 25 percent in the price of
lettuce and 50 percent in the
price of cabbage was ordered by
the OPA. This was the first step
in a program to cut back the ex
cessive prices of fresh fruits and
vegetables to keep the cost of
living down.
More Community-Wide Prices
OPA will continue to establish
community-wide prices on foods
sold at retail, even though it has
recently issued over-all fixed mark
up regulations. The housewife
cannot easily tell whether a store
keeper has made his prices by the
markup method, and that is the
reason OPA will proceed with
community-wide maximums.
Cotton fabrics for women’s work
clothing have been cut from 14
types to five.

(From the file of May, 1906)
Mrs. Witherspoon and daughter,
of Louisville, Ky., arrived this
week to visit Mrs. John F. Henry
and daughter, Miss Violet.
T. B. Crary, our brick mason,
who has been at work in Chatta
nooga, Tenn., is back at his home
here for the summer.
The name of T. H. Galloway is
announced this week for represen
tative. We might well go farther
and fare worse.
A. M. Verdery and family have
moved to the old V. B. McGaha
residence, corner of Jordan and
Gaston streets.
This is the time of year when
a baldheaded man is kept busy
preventing the flies from making
a skating rink of his brain pan.
T. T. Patton and D. L. English
were up on the Rod and Gun club
preserve the first of the week with
their rods, but brought back few
fish.
Mrs. C. C. Yongue, of North Bre
vard, who went to Asheville last
week to undergo an operation for
appendicitis, is reported as rapidly
recovering. Hers was a chronic
case of several years standing.
People wanting boat rides or
fishing trips should see S. F.
Puette about his gasoline boat. It
is ready to run on short notice.
The first announcement of a
wish for office is published in this
week's paper. T. T. Loftis asks for
a renomination, and those who
know how faithful he has been in
the discharge of his official duties
will doubtless be willing that he
should continue to serve them.
W. E. Breese, who was present
at the closing exercises of the Cul
lowhee Normal school last week,
returned on Tuesday, highly plea
sed with his outing. He says that
Transylvania county students were
in the limelight from start to
finish and came out of the intel
lectual battle with colors flying.
Dr. Cheatham is attending the
North Carolina Medical society
meeting in Charlotte this week.
He wears the palm of victory on
the fish story business. He says
he caught a 21-ounce bass with a
feather the other day. Ask him
how it was done.
J. S. Bromfield, well known to
a large circle of friends in and
around Brevard, has this week be
come a permanent resident of our
town. He has bought the lot near
the depot formerly owned by Dr.
Crenshaw, of Pickens county, and
proposes to establish a coal and
wood yard thereon. The consumers
of coal are increasing in Brevard
and it will be a boon to all such
to learn that a supply of both hard
and soft coal will always be on
hand. The business is a good in
vestment for our town, and we
hope it may prove a good one for
Mr. Bromfield.
Mark Osborne Is home from
Farm School on vacation. He
speaks in glowing terms of the
school.

Uncle Sam Needs
Extra Fulpwood
Uncle Sam is asking farm wood
land owners to spend some of
their spare time in cutting pulp
wood because more tons of wood
go into the war machine than tens
of steel, says R. W. Graeber, ex
tension forester at N. C. State
College.
Recently 125 farmers and tim
bermen met in Rutherford County
with the county agents and soil
conservationists from Polk, Cleve
land, Burke, McDowell and Gaston
counties. Paper company represen
tatives were also present to ans
wer questions put to them by the
farmers.
The meeting brought out that a
paper company at Georgetown, S.
C. is making 125,000 boxes a day
for use in exporting food and war
supplies for the army. Ninety-two
percent of the paper manufactured
by this plant goes into the war
effort and it has a capacity of
2,200 cords a day.
