SPRINGS—“The greatest
our farmers have today is
for the commodities that they
themselves consume on the farm,
that should be produced on the
farm,” explained George Ash
ford, who had charge of the pro
gram at the regular meeting of
the Rotary Club on Friday, Dec.
9, when consideration was again
given to methods of improving
the farmer’s present plight.
Mr. Ashford pointed out that in
Robeson County there is a deficit
of approximately five million dol
lars per year in those crops which
could be consumed within the
county in order to give the popu
lation a well-balanced diet. It
was emphasized that this deficit
is equivalent to about 90 per cent
of the value of the entire cotton
crop grown in Robeson County in
1947, and about 30 per cent of
the value of the tobacco crop.
“This, in effect,” said’ Ashford, !
“is equivalent to doubling our
present cotton quotas and adding
about 30 per cent of our tobacco '
quotas. The fortunate thing!
about it is that these commodities
would not have to be sold on any
market but could be consumed
principally right oil the
where they are produced.”
