FlfttWORK 0 tUROPE. iBOU-f 1200 - Farm Machinery Still Scarce, Survey Shows Bv THOMPSON GHKENWOOO. Editor N. C. Ucpartment of Agriculture Due to strikes in the steel mills, in various plants of farm machin ery manufacturers, and in the coal mines, the 300,000 farmers of North Carolina have little more machin ery than was available to them last fall. It is true that the number of various machines manufactured has increased to some extent, but the big. important, labor-savinv. implements used in seeding, till ing and harvesting are still un available in any quantity. Like the automobile dealers, farm machinery merchants can sell everything they can find and they have taken orders for delivery months and months ahead. When the shooting portion of the war ended last summer, farmers were rather sure that machines could be bought this spring. Due to good farm prices which were in effect all during the war years, they had the money in cold cash with which to purchase these machines. Rut then as Industry attempted to swing from war to peace, con verting swords into plowshares, and enabling American agriculture to produce food for a famine-stricken world, serious strikes occurred in some of the outstanding farm ma chinery plants. The steel mills became paralyzed by strikes. Since the manufacture of farm machinery is dependent upon close cooperation among many allied industries, even rela tively minor strikes crippled over all production of farm implements. State Agriculture Department officials find that the two biggest disappointments of farmers this spring are the general failure of returning veterans to come back to the farm homes they left, thus alleviating the farm labor troubles, and the inavailability of farm ma chinery. When fathers realized their sons were not coming hack to agricultural hearths, they sought to relieve this labor shortage with more machinery. Both wishes have, in the main, failed to materialize. Meantime, production goals for many crops are about as high as they were during the war. Although veterans who want lo purchase machinery have been pro vided with preference certificates, requests arc lamentably short of supplies. New machinery upon which pref erences have been granted lo vet erans include planting, seeding and fertilizing implements: farm plows and listers; pulverizers and stalk cutters: sprayers, dusters, and or chard heaters; harvest ing machin ery: elevators and blowers; trac tors; farm wagons; domestic water systems; pumps and windmills; ir rigation equipment; dairy farm mat bines and equipment; bai n and barnyard equipment; and poultry cqu ipiuent . ( 1 . T Scott. State director of the Production and Marketing Admin istration says that this preference order was "originally issued as an emergency to assist veterans who ui-h lo establish themsehes in agriculture and are unable to ob tain the necessary machinery and equipment ." However, despite this preferen tial treatment, only 12 per cent ol the North Carolina veterans requests filed between Decembei 21 and April 20 were filled. C o u n t v A A A committees throughout the State issued a total of (i.4;t!t certificates. But only 708 wi re filled: 2(i4. or four per cent were canceled As of last January 20. 4.000 cer lilicates had been issued, and 1.1178 ol these were for tractors. Mr. Scott reminds farm equip incut dealers that they ai-e required lo fill the veterans' certificate re quests from the equipment on hand or from the next item of like equip ment received, provided the vet eran is willing and nble to meet the regularly established price and terms of sale and payment. The certificate expires 60 days after issuance unless extension is granted by the county 'AAA com mil tee. Since North Carolina Is an area of small farms, ranking only behind sprawling Texas in total number. its farming activities do not lend themselves lo Heavy larm equip ment as in the states with large farms. In its agricultural outlook issued last December, the Bureau of Ag ricultural Economics said that "even with an improved labor sit nation in prospect in 1946, demand for important labor-saving machin es is again expected to bring fur ther increases in the number of machines on farms." But now we find that the farm labor situation has improved ex tremely little and the output, of tin in equipment is not much better than a year ago.

Their object was to starve us to death They gave us only a little rice each day. Many of the men contracted diseases." "We were later moved to Rataan in October, 1942. Here it miRht have been worse. There were 2. 700 English. American and Aus tralians. We were allowed to buy a few things from a canteen twice a week. The officers were given permission to go out and buy food. The morale was very good, con sidering. We had a radio, which of course was not known to the Japs They would not let Red Cross sup plies come in." "Then later all. except those who were too sick to be moved, were sent to Singapore. We remained there until January, 1943. At that time the Japs were building u rail road from Siam to Burma, about 250 mile;. We worked there tor six mouths, then we were sent to Bangpon While in Singapore we were given one card to mail, but as far as we could find out no one ever received those cards. It was just a gesture. After the railroad was completed the Japs asked if any of us knew a trade and they signed us up The low rate men were put on road construction and the rest of us put to work repair ing locomotives We remained in the railroad shop for Hi months and they fed us on a par with their own men. They knew we could not work unless they fed us."
