ducts, better home gardens,
eggs, and meat for home
butchering, in line with
the Food for Freedom pro
gram, Mr. Ray said. This
sort of production has been
encouraged by the FSA for
some years, and most bor
rowers now are replacing
one cash crop farming with
diversification, he said.
In 1940 the average stan
dard FSA borrower in
North Carolina produced
$425. worth of goods for
home use, but in the year
prior to drawing their first
farm plans in connection
with FSA loans those same
families averaged only $309
worth of such production.
Virtually without' excep
tion, Mr. Ray believes FSA
borrowers can be counted
upon to plan their farm
work to increase the out
put of items called for in
national defense. It will
continue to be the policy
to produce for home use
first; and this will tend to
leave commercial produc
tion, on borrowers’ farms
as well as others, free to go
into channels which even
tually will lead to feeding
our armed forces as well as
those of our allies.
