Paife 14 Haywood Farm Security Families Made Progress There has been a large increase in food production with the Farm Security families in Haywood Coun ty in the 1942 production items as compared with 1941, it was learn ed this week from J. Yates Bailey, in charge of the work in this area To measure the increase in food production with Farm Security families in Haywood County, let us look at a few 1942 production items as compared with 1941$ Farm Security borrower families in the county now have a total, of 168 dairy cows with a production of 40,000 gallons of milk in 1942, as compared with 90 cows and 27,- 000 gallons of milk in 1941. Part of the huge increase in gallons is from better feeding practices, as well as from the increased number of cows. This is only one instance of how small farmers are doing their bit for their country. There are similar increases in other food commodities important to the war effort. The 136 FSA farmers in the county now have a total of 3,755 hens and a produc tion record of 22,530 dozen eggs, as compared with 1,800 hens in 1941. This represents an increase of 14 hens and 79 dozen eggs per farm. The housewives have put up a total of 51,131 quarts of fruits, meats and vegetables, as compared with 17,000 last year. In addition they have stored more than 1,000 bushels of fruits and vegetables, such as turnips, potatoes and ap ples. Typical of what numbers of farmers have done in this county are food increases made by the Frady family. During 1942 Mrs. Frady has canned 26 dozen more quarts of fruits and vegetables with her pressure cooker than she did in 1941, bringing her total to over 100 quarts per person for her family. These canned foods in clude okra, soup mixture, beans, squash, corn, tomatoes and fruits. From her record book Mrs. Frady shows that she has sold over $100 worth of eggs from her flock of 85 hens, probably the increase in egg production is due mostly to the small chicken house which Mr. Frady built from old lumber which he picked up around the place. They have found that hens which are protected from the weather lay bet ter. This family will also have 2 hogs to kill this fall for home use and already have 2 small pigs to atart for another year.

(Central Press) Draft Urged For 'Loafing' Workers Washington. Drafting of "the many thousands loafing on govern ment and industrial jobs" has been demanded by Representative John E. Rankin, Mississippi Democrat. Recording full agreement with the statement of Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia that unnecessary individuals should be taken off the federal payroll, Rankin added that positions in government bureaus should not be used as a storm cel lar to escape the draft, In addition, he said, there were "untold thousands and tens of thousands of men loafing on indus trial jobs who ought to be in the army or who should be put to work." Charge 'Loafing' Rankin cited to the House the report of a visit by a friend to a shipbuilding plant, where he found all workers "loafing." He added: "When asked what was the mat ter, one of them replied, 'we are 15 days ahead of schedule, and we are loafing now until the schedule catches up with us.'

(Central Press) First Lady Makes Threat To Be Tough About Her Diet Washington. Brussel sprouts may be food fit for a king, but not for Mrs. Roosevelt as least not for a long time, Ms, Roosevelt says she had enough of them in England, where sprouts are a staple diet, to last her a long, long time. Whoever is sitting across the way from Mrs. Roosevelt when, sprouts are served had better look out. She says: 'If I see another Brussels sprout for the next month, I shall throw it across the table." Outside of that, Mrs. Roosevelt found Britain's war-time diet wholesome and tasty. She reports that meat pies that used to contain meat now consist of meat scraps, potatoes, British bread and mutton. These pies, she says, are the British diet's mainstay. Mrs. Roosevelt doesn't think she lost any weight on the trip. How e v e r, her secretary, Malvina Thompson, lost five pounds. She does hot explain whether that may be attributed to the rig ors of the British diet or the rigors of keeping up with Mrs. Roosevelt. We had affectionate pie today. Affectionate pie?
