When a family keeps a record

to Dennis Higdon. Chairman
of the Jackson County Agri'
cultural Defense Board.
"Approximately 3 0 0 farm 1
families in Jackson County will
operate their farms during the
next crop year in accordance
definitely planned farm
and home practices." he said.
These are the families who are
borrowers in the Farm Security
Administration Program. William

Those who have taken part
3 the rehabilitation program
aider the U, S. Department of
Agriculture long enough to have
I nrked out plans in previous
rears, now have their farm re'
ford books to help them plan
for future operations", he said.
He pointed out that farm
families in the Farm Security
rehabilitation program njiake
careful plans first, and that ^he
loans are made then to put the (
plans ;into actual operations.
FSA, in making the loans, stresses
the importance of farm and j
home record books. . .
Many of the families are now i
neeting to develop plans, and
many are making the plans in j
jieir own homes. The services :
t the County Supervisor and ]
ie Home Management Super- j
isor. Mr. William G. Davis and j
Miss M. Estelle Powers, are avail- ;
able to aid in formulating the
plans.
According to most farm plans i
now being worked out, farm pro- '
duction next season will lean
toward more milk, milk produels,
belter home gardens, eggs, .
and meat for home butchering,
in line with the Food For Freedom
Program, Mr. Higdon said.
This sort of production has been j \
fiicouraged by the FSA for some <
years, and most borrowers now
are replacing one cash crop
farming with diversification, he .
said. ;
Virtually without exception, j

rowers can be countcd upon to >

channels which eventually will

DRAFT AGE TO BE 20
TO 44 IT IS BELIEVED
That all men between the ages
of twenty and forty four will be
subject to military duty under
the act now pending in Congress
is the general belief in Washington.
The Senate has placed the
minumum military age at 19,
and the House has fixed it at 21.
Thus it is believed that a compromise
will be effected whereby
the ages for military service will
be 20 to 44. All men up to 64
years of age will be required to
register.
