Ask Three Questions
About Meat Program
Farm Labor Problem
Calls For Planning
Dean I O. Schaub of State College,
director of the Agricultural Exten
sion Service, says that neighborhood
leaders who are explaining the
Share-the-Meat program in rural
areas, find that most farm people are
more than willing to cooperate in the
plan. Generally, three questions
about the program are being asked
the voluntary neighborhood leaders,
he said.
The first question is: "Do I have
to buy or otherwise obtain a permit
to kill my own hogs or other ani
mals?
The answer, says Dean Schaub, is
an emphatic "No." The program is
voluntary at the present time, and
farm families can kill their own
meat animals at will, and on the
same basis as in previous years, but
they will be expected to dispose of
surplus meat above the 2 1-2 pounds
quota per week for each adult mem
ber of the family.
The second question usually ask
ed is: "Why do we have to cut down
on the amount of pork, beef, veal,
lamb and mutton that we eat when
farmers produced the most live
stock in history?"
This can be answered, the Exten
sion director said, by simply report
ing that demands of the armed forces
and other United Nations have ris
en to the extent that our soldiers,
sailors and allies cannot have all the
meat they need if civilians are to eat
all they want.
The third question is: "Why don't
we ration meat as we do sugar?"
The answer to that is not very
complicated either, Dean Schaub
stated. Rationing meat is not so sim
ple a problem to 'Work out as sugar
rationing. It is not expected that
meat rationing can be put into oper
ation until the early part of 1943. In
the meantime, we are asked by our
Government to ration restricted
meats voluntarily.

Labor on farms is likely to con
tinue to become scarcer throughout I
the war, says R. W. Shoffner, Ex-1
tension farm management specialist |
of N. C. State College. This will be
especially true, he said, on small
farms which are not affected by the
Government order freezing labor on
"essential livestock farms."
"There are ways that farm fami
lies can help improve the labor sit
uation on their farms," he declared,
"and first and foremost is careful
planning. The family should plan
together how its family life should
be carried on so as to release time
for farm work. Divide the work and
cut out less necessary tasks."
Shoffner also said that old men,
women and children will have to do
more of the farm work. Children
will have to be taught to share in
farm work, homemaking skills and
care of the younger children.
Other suggestions include: Neigh
bors swap work, tools and equip
ment. A community workshop where
farm and home equipment may be
repaired. Keep tools and equipment
in good condition so that they will
operate esaily and efficiently at all
times. Adjust livestock and crop en
terprises to the labor supply.
Shoffner said that production of
"enough to eat, then something to
sell" is the first duty of the farm
family. Home-grown vegetables,
fruits, meats, and poultry products
will free transportation facilities and
containers badly needed in meeting
the demands of the armed forces,
war industrial workers in cities, and
others of the United Nations.
"The cost of things you buy will
be higher," Shoffner warned farm
people, "and labor costs will be high
er, too?if you can get labor."

How Ration Book
No. 2 Will Work
Sometime around January 1, War
Ration Book No. 2 will make its ap
pearance, and housewives, who know
what's on grocers' shelves us well
as grocers themselves, will have to
learn how to apply the dual mathe
matics of money and coupons. Ra
tion Book No. 2 will contain four
pagc? of blue stamps and four pages
of red stamps?the colors to show
for which rationing program the
stamps are used. There will be 24
stamps to a page, each stamp bearing
a letter or a number (either 8, 5, 2,
1). The letters indicate the time per
iod in which the stamps are valid
and the number, of course, the point
value. For example, if branflakes
are plentiful and oatmeal is scarce,
OPA might say that one point would
be good for six ounces of bran
flakes, but eight points would be re
quired to purchase the same amount
of oatmeal. In such a case, most shop
pers would buy the branflakes in

War Causes Census
To Be Censored
The census taker counts noses and
therefore, knows what he's talking
about. So the statistical picture re
leased by the census bureau con
tains some absorbing information: j
the trend of employment is toward ]
more hiring of women; dollar value
of factory production for war now
exceeds civilian production; despite
a rising birth rate, which exceeds
deaths, and the net immigration of
civilians, the population remains
static?the increase cancelled by in
ductions and enlistments into the
armed services; state and local debts
have dropped while the federal has
risen; little towns and cities have
become bustling defehse centers. In
stead of oatmeal?you get more of
it. One advantage of the point sys
tem, used by the British, is that it's
flexible?it will permit OPA to al
ter point values to gear demand to
supply.
temal migration has resulted in
losses in civilian population for more
than half the states, but some oth
ers, principally the District of Col
umbia. Michigan, California, Mary
land, Nevada and Virginia, have ex
perienced large increases. Much of
the census data is confidential in
formation, especially in time of war,
so the censor stepped in. T
