Major Lloyd Vann
Spoke At Kiwanis
Club Meeting Here
Major Lloyd Vann, who has
spent the past 21 months with the
United States Army in Alaska,
was guest speaker at the bi-weekly
meeting of the Brevard Kiwanis
club, and told members that Alaska
would be a land of possibilities to
attract many young men when the
war is ended.
Haw materials in abundance, in
cluding fine timber, great oil fields,
minerals and excellent farming and
trucking areas, will be promoted
by men who have spent some
time in the most northernly ter
ritory, Major Vann said.
The Major is a guest at the
Moffitt house while on leave, and
expects to return to Alaska or
some other post of duty within a
few days. George Mann, of Miami,
Fla., a leading attorney of the
Sunshine State, was also a guest
of Henry Henderson at the meet
ing.
Report of the activities and
achievements of the club during
the past seven months was summed
up in a written report by the Rev.
Ashby Johnson, and read by Jerry
Jerome.

FEDERAL EXPENDITURES
Ninety-five cents out of every
dollar of Federal expenditures
goes directly into the war effort,
says Secretary of the Treasurer

purchase guns, tanks, ships, planes,

Between 250,000 and 300,000

Davis Doing Fine
As Demonstration
Farmer In County
BY T. S. GASH
Assistant County Agent
Charles W. Davis, a unit demon
stration farmer in the Connestee
section of the county, is doing a
good job carrying cut a dairy and
poultry combination project on his
mall farm. This fact is known by
the records he keeps of his farm
ing operations.
Mr. Davis was selected as a
demonstration farmer by the
county committee composed- of
demonstration farmers, because he
was displaying what can be ac
complished on a small farm by
proper farm management. He is
testing the new material re
leased by the TVA (Potassium
Metaphosphate) and this is the
first year it has been used in this
county. The analysis of this ma
terial is 0-51-31 and is used on
pasture and meadow crops. We
think it will produce good results
especially on the black bottom
land where potash and phosphate
are both needed.
Mr. Davis, along with other
demonstration farmers, knows the
value of records as a guidance in
his farming operations. Other
farmers in this section who are
keeping records are V. B. Wal
drop, G. W. Whitmire, Otto Alex
ander, P. E. Raxter and Madison
Allison.

FRUIT, BERRY PRICES
INCREASE
Formulas for establishing maxi
mum canners ’ prices for seven
fruits, 11 berries, fruit cocktail,
and the juices and nectars of the
fruits and berries have been an
nounced by OPA. The formulas
take into account higher costs to
canners, and since canned fruits
and berries are sold under fixed
mark-ups at both wholesale and
retail, it will mean increased costs
to the housewife on these items.
NEW BOOKS kECEIVED
Eight new books from the Wom
rath Rental service have been re
ceived at the U. D. C. library, and
are now ready for cnculation, Miss
Annie Jean Gash, librarian, has
