FSA Families Expect Top Last Year's Production Farm Security Adminis .r; lion borrower familii-u believe they e:in ,'nn last vcar's nroduclion or v..t essential crops by fu ther increas es ranging from 20 to 72 per cent . Results of u survey released ly the Office of War Information, and just received by the local Farm Security Otncc, snow mat he 463,941 family-size farmers wno as USA DOr.owers maue recuru- breaking increases in major war rnns in 1942 exoect to turn out A) oer cent more milk this year than last, 41 per cent more egfis; 60 per cent more chickens; w pe cent more pork; 36 per cent more flax, and 72 per cent more pea nuts. With the aid of Farm Security Administration loans and the as sistance Of FSA supervisors in planning and producing war need ed crops, these farmers increas ed their 1942 outDUt from 20 to 106 per cent over 1941, and ac counted for a substantial propor tion of the nation's total increases in five major cops. Constituting 7.6 per cent of the country's far mers .they supplied 36 per cent of the total increase in milk, 27 per cent of the increase -in- dry beans, and 10 per cent of the increases in eggs, chickens and peanuts. In 1943 these farmers believe they can p.-oduce enough addition al milk to meet the rqeuirements of more than 1,000,000 active men or a total of 1,183,850,000 gallons. In 1942 thev produced 989.990,000 gallons. They also expect to boost their pork production from 762,800, 000 pounds in 1942 to 1,178,000,000 in 1943 chickens from 140,1500,000 to 224,350,000 pounds, and peanuts from 217,000,000 lo 374,000; 000 pounds . These estimates represent ti.e farmers' own belief in their abil ity tn Inprpflsp nrnduction. Last year their actual production came fairly close to plans that were set ud early in the spring, ihey leu short of planned production in some major crops but ove.' shot their mark in others. Whereas es timated milk increases were set at 1,150,000,000 pounds FSA borrow ers actually produced an increase of 1,419,000,000 pounds. They also topped their peanut and beef p o duction estimates but were unable to meet in full the goals set for eggs, pork and soybeans. 'While these are national ngur- es, small farmers in tnis section can be exDected to carry their part of the production load," said W. C. Blackmore, County Supe - Visor for Duplin County, Farm plans indicate that the principal f . u ttca knmnvN hp v will be in pork, poultry, and millt cows.

In all the armies of the United Nations, women have an inspiring goal to aim for. The enrollment of thousands of WA ACS is an expression by American women that in this war they too have a stake ,in joining their hus bands, brothe.s, and relatives, to assure the perpetuation of our free American life."
