Tho Mil point la to taka op tha armor of tha hoa and plow, tha raapar and tha raka, and ■raiura op to raquiramcnta and na ♦ txptctAtioni. Let us m mm of the thinp we want: Mast, including pork, beef aad poultry, is wanted; eggs, butter, milk, potato**, other v«(«UhlM, wheat cftrn and hay, with these bar lead op with ■ore baana paaa, homa-mada molasses and othar usual accessories will take cara of the raal neels. A study of consumption of foods in 483 farm families, of which 56 were in North Carolina and the others in nine Widely distributed States, rives soma Irfnite data of use in determining Just what we must do at the time if «■ are u faad ourselves. With this data as a guide, wa may project oar work for the year with assurance of accomplishing a good purpose without oaiwftwary waste of time and work. On the 56 North Carolina farms there was an everage consumption par parson of 122 pounds of pork 2 pounds af beef and 11.5 fowls, weighing ap proximately 2 1-4 pounds a piece, or H.I of poultry consumed per person. The butter consumption averaged 41 pounds per person, while there was *3 4 gallons of sweet milk used, 85.8 gallons of butter-milk, 27 dozen eggs, IM bushels of Irish potatoes, 3.8 bu shels of sweet potatoes and 313 pounds of flour used for each person in the family. When those figures are given a Statewide application, we may see lost what our farming job this year In round numbers our present popu lation it 2.500,00. To give each person the normal meat allonwance of 122 pounds of pork, 2 pounds of beef and 26 pounds of poultry, or a total of 150 pounds of meat per person, the State must grow 375,000,000 pounds during this year. Likewise she must have 102,500,000 pounds of butter. She must also produce 83,500,000 gal lons of sweet milk and 214,500,000 gallons of butter-milk, or a total of almost 300,000,000 gallons of milk. Then, while this is being produced and consumed we want and must have 67, 600,000 dozen eggs, 14,000,000 bushels of sweet and Irish potatoes and 17, 500,000 bushels of wheats To feed our stock and give us some meal, we want 75,000,000 bushels of corn and 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 ton- of hay, be sides the usual corn fodder. Then the vegetables and small fruits from some 200.000 acres are wanted. This is the North Carolina farmer's job if he feeds our population as we have been fed. Now for a 10 per cent surplus for export, add one-tenth to these items all the way through. This Is what the man with the hoe and plow is asked to do before he grows strictly commercial crops. Can he do it? Yes. How can the consumer get him to do it? By making it to his interest financially. Now let us see what the average farmer has for his individual job. Ttiere are 250,000 farmers to make up this class in North Carolina. Divide the big numt>ers above by the number of.farmers and get what the average acta is expected ft> do. Then to get your individual duty as a farmer, place yourself as either above or be low the average just as you think you should be placed and add to or sub tract from, the general requirements to suit yo«r individual case.
