A pi'aii whereby farmers having
Federal land bank loans.', may .pro
tect themselves against any post
war slump or crop failures by
making payments , into' a "future

the same rate of interest he is
being charged on his indebtedness
to the bank, is announced by L.
D. Thrash, secretary-treasurer of
the;Qtto National Farrn Loan As
. sociation.
Under the plan a Land barjk bor
ron'.er iinay-inow send funds to the

Mr. Thrash said that many
farmers were now in a position to
fortify themselves against future
mortgage worries and in taking
advantage of the future payment
fitnd plan would be helping them
selves and also would be serving
their country because while the
investment is earning a .good rate
of interest, this money would at
the same time be doing service
for national defense through rein
vestment' by the land bank. '
Uncle Sam Asks Hens
To Produce More Eggs
Three billion 700 dozen eggs are
expected from American hens in
1942 to provide an adequate sup
ply For home needs and for the
English, according to C F.. Par
rish, extension, poultrytnan of N.
C. State college.
This increase, of 11 per cent over
the expected .1941 production has
been called for by the Government
because of the. vital part eggs play
in the nation's diet. :
The number of layers ore farms
at the beginning of 1942; is ex
pected to be 10 per cent greater
than during tre early part of this
year.
North Carolina has been called
on for an 11 percent increase, ex,
actly the same as the national
average. This year State hens will
probably lay 58j667,000 dozen, eggs.
In 1942 the Government goal for
Macon county is asked to in
crease egg production 46,690 dozen
this state is 65,120,000 dozen.
This is one time, Parrish pointed
ciut, . when farmers should really
use their skill in getting more eggs
from their hens. Careful feeding
and management, essentials . of any
good poultry program at any time,
should be brought into use by
everyone during this emergency.
Favorable egg prices, together
with the Government pledge to
put a floor under price's, provid
a strong incentive to boost produc
tion.

Farm Prices Climb
Toward 1920 Level
Higher consumer incomes, gov
ernment price support, and reduc
ed competition from abroad may
create for American farmers in
1942 a total income approaching
13 billion dollars, greatest since
the lush -days of 1920,
Quoting latest' estimates releas
ed by the U.. S. Department of
Agriculture, Dr. I. O. Schaub, di
rector of the N. C. State college
extension service, said the defand
for farm products ira 1942 will be
"even better" than in 1941.'
. Increased cash returns were fore
cast largely on the basis of high
er average prices received in 1942
than in 1941, although a moderate
increase in production, particularly
livestock and livestock products,
will contribute. :
Cost of farm production are ex
pected to rise , substantially next
year, but not enough to offset the
increase in price received, by farm
ers. . ' ' '
.. 'In its latest outlook report, the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
pointed out that farm prices this
year will average nearly, 25 per
cent over 1940, and that a gain of
about the .same proportions is indi
cated for 1942 over 1941,
If contemplated goals are met,
there wil) be a sharp increase ir
the production of livestock pro
ducts. This will more than offset
a decline of nearly 10 per cent in
the output of crops.
Farm wage fates are expected
to be higher next year, and mod
erate advances will probably take
place in the prices of farm ma
chinery, fertilizer, seed, gas, oil,
and possibly in . taxes.

Turkeys will be plentiful for
Thanksgiving dinners , November 20,
