N. C. Farm Order Is
For More Milk, Eggs
The North Carolina "order" un
der the nation's 1942 plan for rec
ord expansion of food output will
be for less wheat but more milk
and eggs, E. Y. Floyd, state AAA
executive officer at State College,
reports.
"Despite some recent, inconsis
tent reports about Britain having
'plenty' of food," Mr. Floyd says,
'the' British have left absolutely
no doubt but that they need enor
mous supplies of all foods except
wheat, and American agriculture
has agreed to tackle the job of fur- J
nishins those supplies. Our own
state job, with first emphasis on
increasing egg and milk produc
tion, will be to boost the output
of just about all foods by approxi
mately 1") per cent."
North Carolina representatives
of every U. S. Department of Ag
riculture agency, led by State Col
lege Extension and AAA men,
started this week a campaign
which will include visits to every
farm in the state. The purpose ot
the farm visits will be to outline
production needs to every farmer,
analyze each farm's land and
equipment and then to give the
farmer a concrete 1942 plan un
der which the farm's food produc
tion can be expanded without ex
cessive expense to the farmer.
Other "basic" food commodities
which Tar Heel producers will be
asked to "bear down on," Mr.
Floyd adds, are beef and pork.
North Carolina farmer shave never
produced sufficient supplies of
milk, eggs, poultry, beef or pork
to feed their own state's popula
tion. "That makes the need for in
creases doubly important," says
the AAA leader.
"The 1942 food drive is strictly
a voluntary proposition" Mr. Floyd
declares, "and farmers will be ask
ed to cooperate with the plan only
after they have been shown why
incrceases are needed and how
their prices will be protected thru
the Summer of 1943 by govern
ment buying."
