Federation Picnic 4th
41 44 ' ’
V | \The Farmers Federat
ions new series of “war
v_m picnics” opened Saturday
as almost 1,200 people from
th r county climaxed a day
off fuh and friendship with
thje purchase of more than
$1,150 worth of war bonds
and stamps. ; 41"
Faced with tire and ga
soline scarcity, the Federa
tion debated the advisabil
ity of having the picnice in
t$ 14 counties this year,
and finally decided to hold |
them in the interest of the
war effort of farmers.
Farm participation is be
ing stressed.
War bond and stamp
work was carrid on throu
ghout the day by A. C.
Reynolds, Jr., head of the
Federation’s training scho
ol, his six pupils, and girls
of Burnsville high school.
The importance of in
creased production of farm
commodities was stressed.
James G. K. McClure, pres-'
ident of the Federation,
pointed out the need for
quality in order to get pro
duction, and illustrated by ;
citing the need in Yanceyi
county for quality in poul
try and eggs.
Right now, he said, the
poultry business is small fn
’ the county, but 400 flock
owners having 100 hens
would build a big business
v 'for the region. He told how
the price of eggs in Bun
- combe county, where a qu
ality program is in operat
ion, has not dropped below
22 cents all spring. He add
ed that the government
has decided to continue its
egg buying program thro-i
ugh the Farmers Federat
ion in 1943. ~
Perry; Greene, head of
the poultry and egg prog
ram, asked farmers to sign
contracts in the Federat
ion program. Guy M. Sales,
general manager of the
Federation, talked on dev
eloping markets for in
creased production, and
Bill Brawley, manager of
the seed department, spoke
of the place of fine seed
in getting bij^yfeids.
Farm Agent Speaks
Y. J. ,Goodman, „ county
,farm agent, spoke in the
morning. To win the war,
he said, “everybody must
work together to make
and gather in the harvest.”
The Rev. Dumont Clarke
head of the religious de
partment of the Federat
ion, talked on the Lord’s
Acre work, and Mr. Mc-
Clure explained that the j
Federation maintains a re
ligious department because
“material progress without
spiritual progress destroys
itself.”
Nearly 50 performers
turnd up with guitars; mo
uth organs and songs, the
Laurens Pines Choir and
Auburn (powder’s quartet
sang.
Musicians and perform
ers taking part in the pro
gram included the Feder
ation’s string band, Fran

SHORTAGE OF GRADE
A MILK FACED
• IN STATE
t" ■ \
1 _ A shortage of Grade A
[ milk for use by Army
camps and civilians i n
North Carolina is predict
ed for the near future by
John A.’ Arey, Extension
, dairyman of N, C. State
College. He makes a pat
riotic plea to all dairymen
to feed liberally and ob
tain the maximum product-]
’ ion from every cow.
During the past winter
, and spring approximately
7,500 gallons of milk were;
) delivered daily to Army
camps within the • State,!
Arey stated. This* demand
will be increased by,. 4,000
to 5,000 gallons of milk
daily when new training
centers for the fighting
forces of the Nation are
opened during the next
'few months.
“Local dairies have soj
far been able tP supply i
both camp and civilian de
mand for fluid milk,” re
ported the Extension wor
ker, “but it will be diffi
cult for them to meet an:
increased demand. To do
"so will require maximum!
from all avail
able herds located within
T tTre area from which ruffle’
can be collected.
“Good production requ-1
ires liberal feeding,” he
continued, “and that means
every dairyman must pro
iduce this summer all the
hay and silage his herd will 1
need next winter. Ample
roughage production is
doubly important in view
.of indications that grain
feed prices will be higher
in the fall and winter.”
Hay-making is one of
the next harvesting jobs
on the farms, and Arey em
phasized the importance of
cutting hay at the proper
time to get the most ton
nage and the maximum
feeding value. Alfalfa sho
uld be cut when one-tenth
to one-fourth in bloom; les
pedeza, when the crop is
about one half in bloom;
and soybeans, from bloom
to when the seed are begin
ning to form.
