Committee Named
For Victory Fund
H. E. Beam was recently appointed
to the regional Victory Fund Com
mittee, which is conducting in this
area an intensive drive to raise a
part of the nine billion dollars in
government securities to be sold
during December.
The Regional Victory Fund Com
mittee is a segment of the Fifth Fed
eral Reserve District’s Victory Fund
Committee, which has organized all
bankers in the district to carry out
an intensive campaign for the sale
of Victory Loan Bonds. The aim of
the drive is to attract all idle funds
and accumulated savings to Govern
ment securities. Sale of these se
curities is being made to all classes
of investors.
“North Africa does not mean that
full victory is within our grasp,"
Hugh Leach, president of the Fifth
Federal Reserve Bank and District
committee chairman, declared.
"America’s mighty weight has just
started to tip the scales. Behind our

WHAT ABOUT NEXT YEAR?
J
Cotton farmers of Washington County have a big question to decide
on Saturday, according to W. D. Phelps, chairman of the County AAA
Committee. On that day they will vote on whether they want to keep
cotton marketing quotas for another year. If two-thirds of those vot
ing say “yes” cotton loans will again be available. But if quotas are re
jected, there can be no loans on the 1943 crop, according to law. The
loan rate has been raised from 85 to 90 per cent of parity, and the
present rate in Washington County is $18.41 per 100 pounds for mid
dling fifteen-sixteenths inch cotton. Although there is almost a two
year supply of cotton on hand, cotton prices have been relatively high
this year, mainly because of the loan, Mr. Phelps said.
must stand our billions of dollars.
During December alone we must
raise nine billion dollars. To move
on toward victory, we as a nation
must spend a billion and a half
dollars a week. The citizens of
America must provide those billions.
The bankers of America are going
to do all in their power to give every
individual citizen his opportunity to
support with his dollars America and
her fighting forces.”

FOR MANY Christmases, a great many wise gift-givers
have found a happy solution to their problems at their
electrical dealer's or in the electrical appliance depart
ment of their favorite stores.
But for a wartime Christmas, many things are different.
Because the materials and manufacturing facilities which
go into the making of electrical appliances have gone to
war, you may not be able to find the electrical gifts you'd
like to give. If, however, your dealer or store still has
some of them in stock, consider yourself lucky, as the
recipient will . . . because an electrical appliance is more
than just a good gift these days . . . it's an irreplaceable
treasure!
But remember this, whether or not you can go Electric
this Christmas, you can go American:
Small Farmers Can
Help Materially In
Filling War Needs
FSA Will Aid Them To
Increase Food and
Fibre Production
Definite things Farm Security Ad
ministration has laid out to do in
order to help Washington County
borrowers take their full part in the
war effort have been outlined by W.
Willis Bowen, County FSA super
visor. __ __
1. The immediate job concerns,
canning, storage, and marketing.
Food that has been produced must
not go to waste. Supervisors will
teach families how to do this;
2. Help families plan production of
food for next year’s use, and next
year's market;
3. Lay stress on fall winter gar
dens, seeding of small grain and seed
ing fall pastures;
4. Study 1942 performance to as
certain the degree to which families
and communities have attained the
goals set up;
5. Get next year’s farm plans pre
pared right away in order that fam
ilies may be getting acquainted with
next year’s practices and enterprises;
6. Prepare to fight disease, to be
healthy, both as individuals and as
a community;
7. Help farmers to make substi
tutions necessary on account of war
shortages—plant legumes to save fer
tilizer, save and grow out calves and
pigs, improve and enlarge pastures
to feed these extra cows and hogs.
8. Repair and use discarded ma
chinery and equipment to increase
food and feed production. Exchange
use of machinery and equipment
with neighbors for labor and other
services, purchasing jointly, for joint
use. where practical, new equipment
which must be bought;
9. Help rarmers improve their
tenure, as a step toward a better job
of fanning;
10. Aid FSA families through
supervision to use improved prac
tices recommended and approved by
County Agents and Extension Spe
cialists.
Emphasis will be laid on loans for
production for war needs.
The “green light” has been given
Farm Security Administration by
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard to
proceed with necessary loans and
farming assistance to small farmers
for “1943 food and fibre production,”
according to Mr. Bowen who said
that plans and procedures were
worked out at the conference to help
the small farmers make the best
possible contribution to food for
freedom within the limited funds al
lotted. Following the secretary’s
directive, the first consideration in
making all loans will be the produc
tion of food and fibre necessary to
win the war, he pointed out.
“Farmers desiring loans necessary
for assuring this maximum produc
tion should make their applications
early this fall," th supervisor said,
“in order that sound farming plans
may be worked out.” Farm Security
assistance, as heretofore, will be
limited to farmers who are unable
to secure necessary loans and assis
tance from normal credit channels.
Supervisor Bowen quoted Secretary
Wickard’s current instructions as
authorizing and directing the FSA,
“within the limits of available funds
. . . to bring into full production the
manpower and resources of all farm
operators who are unable to achieve
their full output through their own
efforts, or through existing normal
channels of assistance.”
