Able Farm Tenants May Get Loans To Acquire Own Farms Purposes Outlined by Chair man County FSA Farm Ownership Committee Farmers of Washington County who have the necessary qualifications and want to be considered for loans with which to buy family-type farms of their own under the U. S. De partment of Agriculture's Tenant Purchase Program should apply im mediately to the Farm Security Ad ministration office at Leggett's Building. Plymouth, N. C, it was announced by Bey L. Stillman. Chairman of FSA’s county farm ownership committee. Under the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act, a limited number of loans can be made in designated counties each year to farm tenants, sharecroppers or farm laborers who are American citizens, to enable them to obtain lifetime security on farms of sufficient size to adequately sup port their families. Tire loans are repayable within 40 years, at three percent interest. Loans also will be considered, the chairman explained, to enable bona fide farm owners with insufficient land to enlarge their acreages into Egg Shell Bears Japanese Emblem Mrs. S. D. Davis has an egg haring on its shell an imprint of the rising sun, emblem of the Japanese. She bought the egg with others at the curb market from Mrs. Charlie Bowen, of Plymouth or Mrs. Leamon Per isher, of Roper, both loyal Ame ricans, and cannot understand how this fifth columnist emblem came from the flocks of either.

To qualify, the owner must have per sonally operated his farm at least one year, must derive all or most of his income from the farm, and must intend to operate his enlarged unit on a full-time basis. Farmers who are interested in this type of loans can obtain the details from W. Willis Bowen, County FSA supervisor. In the 5 years the Tenant Purchase Program has operated in this county, 11 farmers have achieved farm own ership through these loans. All (or most) of the TP borrowers are cur rent with their principal and interest payments, Mr. Stillman said.

Phone 297-6 "School As Usual" Musi Give Way To Patriotic Needs -<s> State’s Public Schools Head Addresses Message To State Teachers -<s> Schools must continue but not as usual, according to a communication the state superintendent of pub lic instruction has addressed to school staffs throughout North Carolina. He might well have included parents to receive the message, for they could profit by it. This is the message: “To Superintendents, Principals and Teachers: We are now face to face with a new school year. The world situa tion is even more serious than it was when the schools closed last spring. The schools must now join all other agencies in the all-out effort to win this war for the United Nations. “ School as usual’ must be dis continued for the duration of the war. This does not mean that we must discard the teaching of child ren in the fundamentals and skills necessary for living in this age. It does mean, however, that we must give greater emphasis to the teach ing of American ideals—building mo rale and teaching practical patriot ism. Our boys and girls should be taught that producing and taking care of food, keeping fit, participa tion in salvage activities, and co operation in civilian defense are es sentials in the war effort for victory. Teachers must not only take the leadership in such activities: they must set the example by their own participation. “Opportunities for emphasis arise at many points in the classroom for effective presentation of ideas con cerning an “education for victory” program. It seems to me. however, that special emphasis should be given to high school courses in mathemat ics, science, health and physical edu cation, and history. If our American way of life is to be preserved and ex tended the boys and girls in our schools today who will be the lead ers in the post-war period must un derstand the meaning of American freedom, liberty and democracy. "As teachers, principals and su perintendents, our task is fundamen tal to the war program. "Education for victory—both in war and peace" should be our slogan. "Very truly yours, “Clyde A. Erwin, State Superin tendent of Public Instruction.” -® Machinery Repair Doubly Important To Cotton Growers —<*— Allocation of Vital Materials For New Implements Low er Titan General Average -$ Raleigh—Immediate repair of farm machinery—a “must” on every far mer’s schedule—is doubly important to cotton producers, according to G. Tom Scott, chairman of the State USDA War Board. Materials for the manufacture of all types of new farm machinery have been restricted to an average of about 83 per cent of the materials used for similar purposes in 1940, Chairman Scott said, while use of materials for repair parts will be permitted at an average rate of about 150 per cent of the 1940 lev el. For implements used in the pro duction of cotton, allocations of ma terials generally have been lower than the average. For example, ma terials used in the manufacture of a one-horse, single-row combination cum and cotton planter are restrict ed to 66 Der cent of the 1940 level. This means, he said, that cotton producers, especially, will find new equipment difficult to obtain and that equipment which ordinarily would be discarded in normal times will have to be repaired for use this year. “By repairing farm machinery, farmers can put more guns into the hands of the armed forces,” Scott said. “Every piece of old machinery which substitutes for a new machine war.” Allocations for essential materials for new machinery, attachments and repair parts ordinarily used in cot ton production, expressed in terms of materials used for similar pur poses in 1940, follow: Group 1: Planting, seeding and fer tilizing machinery— from 66 to 83 per cent of 1940 level; attachments and parts 140 per cent. Group 2: Plows and listers—from 64 to 82 per cent; attachments and parts 140 per cent. Group 4: Cultivators and weeders —61 to 74 per cent; attachments and parts, 150 per cent. Group 12: Spraying outfits (com plete. Division: Sprays—85 to 100 per cent; attachments and parts, 140 per cent; division 2: dusters—94 to 103 per cent; attachments and parts, 140 per cent. in a continuous 12-month period to $500 on a farm dwelling and to an aggregate of $1,000 on buildingE other than the dwellings on any one farm is being observed in carrying out improvements on farms bought with TP Ioeuis,” the committee chair man pointed out. The farm ownership committee passes on the applications for all loans involving purchase of farms or purchase of additional land for en larging farms and, in the case of the former, must approve the farms to be purchased.
