Thus spoke Claude T. Hall, a farmer of Boxboro and a director of the Farm Credit Administration of Columbia. Mr. Hall was discussing the nation's food-for-freedom program and the IMS food production goals. CLAUDE T. HALL "This important Job can be done," be gold, "if farmer* will bear In minu that they are just aa much participant* on the foreign front aa they are on the home front Klght on their own farms, right In their own minds, with the will to sacrifice ana their ability to produce, they are doing aa much for freedom aa if they were, all dressed up in unUortns. Buidiers have-to eat and tn«y have to eat plenty if they ar» to iio their best against the alctatoA. And when farmers produce lor those soldiers and our civilians who are manufacturing arms ahd ammunition they are doing fully aa much as the army men, the sailors and the marines. There is no question about it—farmers have a great part to play in winning this war. .Let's not look at It as only the government's Job. May we think of the greater saorifices our boys are m&klng in the prime of their lives compared to these we are sustaining." Mr. Hall spoke highly of the members of the county war boards in .North Carolina, declaring that they were doing an unselfish service in helping farmer* to reach the 1II4S production goal* and In advising these farmer* as to what crop* to plant that are moat necessary to America and Jmmt RtlfMh "The Farm Credit Administration," he said, "will furnish farmer* < ample tunas If their term* are conducted on a business-like basis.

L. R. Harrfll, 4-H" Glob leader at the N. C. Stat* College Extension Service, says one of the main objectives of the week ie to organize to help meet local farm labor (shortages. The (jhib boys and girls would accomplish thif by working themselves sad by taking into their clubs and helping to train city youths who will work on farms this summer. Spurred on by a message from VICTORY GARDENS Fannville, N. a, January 27, IMS Mr. Alex Boom, Editor Farmville Enterprise Farmville, N. C. Dew Mr. Boose: As * result of a number of governmental bulletins issued, restricting the use of commercial fertiliser for all purposes, there ssams to eadst a general state ot confusion aa to just what analysis or biand of fertiliser [may be used by city residents for the purpose of raising food corps (Victory Garden Crops) for their own consumption. A number of persons have come in the office and advised that they had heard that no fertiliser whatsoever could be purchased for home garden consumption. In order that then may be lass confusion with regards to fertilising victory gardens, I would like to pass on to yon the latest governmental instructions' in this connection A special fertiliser consisting largely of organic nitrogen, the analysis of which is victory garden— S 8 7, is the only fertiliser (commercial) permiseable to be sold for this purpose. I might add thai commercial fertiliser such as the above can not be sold for the purpose of fertilizing private lowns, golf counts, sod the like, and the isanance of this limitation has probably contributed to the rumor in connection with fertilizing home gardeoa. If in your oomection, there shodlif arise further questions pertaining to this subject, we shall be glad to contribute any information we have to othe **"•» Yours raty truly, Smith-Douglass Company, Inc., Skrmville, N.

The shortage of milk and milk products in North Carolina resulting from huge new demands by the Army, lease-lend, and civilians, offers a' dirct challenge to dairymen, John A. Arey, dairy Extension specialist of N. C. State College. Not only is it a challenge, he went on, but it is a real opportunity to make uag gMn enlarged dairy industry" aa a mean* o< greatly increasing the farm income at this section. •*- i To bring about the much-needed increase in milk production, Arey has suggested a six-point emergency program, as follows: Increase the present cow population, especially en existing - dairy farms, by bringing in milking cows and heifers from other areas where such a situation is practical, .v s Breed the cows now on hand to good dairy bulla and properly growing out the heifer calves; also give more emphasi* to pxopeif feeding and Keep production records on all dairy eo\«jt> "■/ ;£ Improve the oW pastures and seed new ones until at least one and onehalf acre of good pasture are avail 6 ' I IP. , which echoed kick of Pilot Mountan, many ; dred tons of lime reek fell face of the old onto Hie floor below, locks ft®m the blast hurtled Car out into the muddy Yadkin river several hundred yards away. 1>'M .. Attending1 the opening in addition to the Governor, D. B. McCrary, acting chairman of te State Highway and Public Works In an address, following a banquet sponsored by Elkin oivic clubs, Governor Broughton announced that cost of the lime to farmers would be $1-25 per tan.'. This price will cot oosts of lime for Wilkes, Surry and Yadkin county famen by more than half. Brooghfem pointed out that possibly the price could later be reduced, should the State Highway Commission find that production casta would permit. In his address, directly at the more thsn 250 fanners of the hoi thin ntt'T^iff, he out that their part in the war effort was as important as the men who were actually on the fighting front or those manufacturing war materials. The Governor landed the efforts of the three members of the lime [committee, H. P. Laffoon, J. W. L. Benson and W. X.' Allen, who had untiringly fought for ths reopening of the mine. Highway Commission Chairman D. B. McCrary placed credit for opening of the mine with this committee, as well ss with the Governor and former Highway Chairman Ben Prince, now a major in the U. S. Army. McCrary expressed the hope that the mine would live up to all the expectations of local people. Dean L 0. Schaub, head of the State College Extension Service, also pointed out to the farmers their important roil in the war effort and urged all to take advantage of every foot of land they owned and plant vegetables for the next .year. He also pointed out the coming meat shortage, which could be aided through the enlargement of the cattle program. Latest analysis of a limestone sample crushed from the mine shows a calcium carbonate content of 82.03 and a magnesium part of 1.51, or a total analysis of 83.64. An earlier analysis made on October 30, 1942, showed a total of UnSl pear cent The mine will begin operation immediately end the>. ; State Highway Commission already has crashing equipment set up near the quarry. The work will be under the immediate supervision of district engineer, C. G. Ashby, working under division engineer Zeb Stewart.
