Scott said that at least 150,000 Tar Heel farmers are participating in the emergency food and feed-for-defense program, all scheduled to produce at least 75 per cent of the food and feed needed on the farm this year?"all this despite the presence in the state of four large military cantonment building programs which of neces sity have caused a mild shortage of farm labor in central and eastern sections."
