At present, about 15 percent of total United Slates munitions pro duction is going to our allies un der Lewd-Lome and by direct pur AAA Canvasses County To Increase Food Production This w.eek AAA committeemen from all communities of the coun ty are making a canvass of all farmers * at the express direction of Secretary Wickard, to find out how much 'of whidh foods they will produce in 1<W3. If increases seem possible on any farm, con sidering land, feed supplies and man i>ower, the farmer will re ceive suggestions of what more he might do. This work is under tih,e direction of Albert L. Ramsey, county Farm Security supervisor of Kunal Rehabilitation and Carl Slagle, assistant supervisor. Increased amounts of certain foods are demanded if we are to meet the demands of our armed forces and Lend-Lease supplies, and right now Macon farmers are making plans <o produce thfir share of these increases. To meet these needs, Messrs Ramsey and Skagle explain, we need more eg<gs, more pork, more beef, and to maintain milk pro duction as near the present lev*l as jKxssible. The individual farmer will be advised how his farm may increase its output to the best ad vantage, and how to cooperate with other Farmers to use all available advantages d pasture, land, stock, etc. These supervisors point out that individual contribution is important, although it looks small, because the total production of the nation is ma4e up largely of 4 he total of small farms.
