Country War Boards
To Push Pood Drive
County USDA War Boards, oper
ating aa a team composed of each
of the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture agencies in the county, will have
the responsibility of directing the
IMS wartime food production pro
gram in North Carolina counties,
according to G. T. Scott, chairman
of the State USDA War Board.
Food goals for the state were
announced recently at a conference
of memberi of 14 State USDA War
Boards- held at Memphis .Tennessee.
Special emphasis in the 1943 pro
gram, Scott said, will be placed on
production' of foods having a high
energy value and which may be
highly concentrated for shipment
abroad.
Again on 1943, one of North Caro
lina's principal contributions to the
Food for Freedom program will be
production of peanuts and soybeans
for vegetable oils which are urgently
needed to replace supplies formerly
imported. •
The state's >goal for soybeans next
year has been set at 360,000 acres
for beans, which is more than the
282,000 acres asked this year, but
is approximately the same acreage
grown. The peanut goal for 1943 is
405,000 acres, including the allot
ment for edible trade nuts. Other
goals for the state include 14 per
cent more eggs than were produc
ed in 1942; six parent more milk;
10 percent more pigs; and 22 per
cent more cattle for slaughter.
Individual county goals now are
being broken down by the State
USDA War Board and will be pre
sented to county boards for approval
at a series of district meetings over
the state.
"The job outlined for farmers at
Memphis is shoot the biggest we
have ever had," Scott said. "It also
is the most important one we have
even been given, because in the final
analysis the task of feeding our
civilians and armed forces and al
lies is up to the individual farmers."
Federal Land Bank
Oct-Nov. Payments
Nearly Ten Million
Nearly ten million dollars in pay
ments on farm mortgage loans was
received during October and Novem
ber by the Federal Land Bank of
Columbia on land bank and com
missioner loans. This is an indica
tion that farmers of the Third Farm
Credit Administration district, com
prising the states of North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida,
are getting out of debt and spending
their money wisely, Julian H. Scar
borough, president of the bank, said.
This is the largest amount of
money received by the fhinl District
Federal land bank over a two-rfdnth
period since the land bank system
began operations in 1917. It is alao
approximately 3 million dollars more
[than the amount of money received
during October and November of last
year. The record-breaking sum in
cluded money paid into the bank for
! reduction of principal of debts, in
terest, and the Future Payment fund.
"It is extremely gratifying, "Pres
ident Scarborough said,
