“HONOR ROLL”
tn ths issue we publish
an “Honor Roll” —the nam
es of those from Jacks Cre
ek township who are now
in service.
The county as a whole,
and the township in partic
ular, is proud of this roll
of honor. It is a fine record
of service for any comm
unity and these men who
serve will reflect honor and
credit upon the section of
the land from which they
come.
One impressive fact is
that in so many instances
there are more than on**
member of a family; from
a number of homes three
are now serving. It is in
deed a great contribution
which they make in the
cause of liberty and the
way of life we cherish.
It is a fine thing for each
community, each church,
each school or organization
to have its own roll of ho
nor. Let us give recognit
ion to those who are now
serving throughout the
world.

ARE WANTED
There is, at present, no
absolutely accurate list of
men from the county who
are serving in )the armed
forces of the United Stat
es. This number is now ap
proximately 700. .
With the help of the se

complete list Is being
compiled but for a great
deal of this information we
must depend on the citizens
of the county and families
of the men in service. V
Please send this inform

Within a few weeks an is

dedicated to these “Men In
Service and the list as com
pleted to that date will be
published. Remember that
the names of the men who
have been in service for
several years will probably
be hardest to obtain.
Also, we should like to
have pictures of service
men. These will be return

FSA GETS “GO AHEAD”
FOR 1943 SUPERVISOR
RAY SAYS
v
. ■ t
The “green light” has
been given Farm Security
Administration by Secret
ary of Agriculture Wiek
ard to proceed with necess
ary loans and farming as
sistance to small farmers
for “1943 food and fibre
production,” according to
Mack B. Ray. County FSA
Supervisor, Burnsville, who
has returned from a two
day area Conference in
Asheville.
Mr. Ray said that plans
and proceedures were wor
ked out at the conference
to help the small farmer
make the best possible con
tribution to food for free
dom within the limited
funds alloted. Following
the Secretary’s directive,
the first consideration in
making all loans will be
the production of food and
fibre necessary to win the
war, he pointed out.
“Farmers desiring loans
necessary for assuring this
maximum production sho
uld make their applications
early this fall,” the super
visor “in order that
sound farming plans may
be worked out.” Farm Sec
urity assistance, as hereto
fore, will be limited to far
mers who are unable to se
cure necessary loans and
assistance from normal
credit channels.
Supervisor Ray quoted
Secretary Wickard’s curr
ent instructions as author
izing and directing the F
SA “within the limits of
available funds—to bring
into full production the
manpower and resources of
all farm operators who are
unable to achieve their full .
output through their own
efforts, or through exist
ing normal channels of, as
sistance.” Definite things
Farm Security has laid out
in order to help borrowers
in this county to take their
full part in the war effort
weije outlined by County
Supervisor Ray as follows:
1. The / immediate job con
cerns, canning, storage and
marketing. Food that has
been produced must not go
to waste. Supervisors will
teach families how to do
this.
2. Help families plan pro
duction of food for next
year s use, and next year’s
market.
3. 'Lay stress on fall and
winter gardens, seeding of
'mall grain and seeding
fall pastures.
4. Study 1942 performance
the" degree to
which families and comm
unities have attained the
goals set up.
5. Get next year’s farm
plans prepared right away
in order that families ipay
be getting 'acquainted with
next year’s practices and
enterprises.
6. Prepare to fight disease,
to be healthy, both as indi

of surgical beds for field and base
hospitals on every front.
These-beds cost approximately $22
each. They are the latest thing in
modem hospital beds, with elevating
springs. In some instances surgi

hospitals and there, is a folding bed
which may be used in ambulance*.

. PLANS BEING MADE
. FOR FURNISHING
AAA LIME
Plans now are being mal
. de by County AAA comm-|
. ittees for furnishing gro
i und limestonp to North Ca
rolina farmers as a grant-1
of-aid material under the'
1943 AAA program, accor-j
ding to G. T. Scott, chair-,
man of the State AAA 1
committee, with headquar
ters at N. C. State College.
Orders for limestone un-!
der the 1942 program al-'
ready have exceeded 300- 1
000 tons, and orders will be
accepted under this prog
ram
Scott said.
County AAA committees
now are soliciting bids for
hauling limestone from ra
ilroad points in the various
counties to farmyards, he
said, and arrangements are
expected to be completed
before the end of the
month so that orders und
er the 1943 program can be
taken by October 1. Bid
forms may be obtained at
county AAA offices. +-
Delivery prices of lime
stone under the 1942 pro
gram vary from $2.40 to
$3.90 per ton, depending on 1
freight charges. Prices un
der the 1943 proyram will
be announced as soon as
arrangements for delivery
are completed, the chair
man said.
“With farmers engaged
in their biggest production
program in history, it is
expected that use of AAA
Hmestone under the 1943
program will be more than
400,000 tons. Our product
ion goals call for more li
vestock, among other agri
cultural products. This
means more pastures, and
limestone is needed to in
sure a good growth. At the
same time, it is likely that
commercial nitrates will be
hard to get next year. This
makes it necessary for far
mers to produce as much
nitrogen as possible thro

crops, and limestone will

FARMERS TO BOOST ?
FAt,L OAT ACREAGE
* ?
Present indications are
that slightly more than
250,000 acres of oats will
be seeded in North Caro
lina this fall, an increase.of
5 percent over the 1941 ac
reage, says Dr. Gordon K.
Middleton, agronomist of
the Agricultural Experim
ent Station at N. C. State
College.
Best possible re t urns
from this quarter million
acres will be obtained only
1 by those growers who mat
’ erially increase their per
1 acre yields, the agronomist
’ explained.
That an improvement
I can be made, he went on, is
> suggested by the fact that
! while the average yield in
North Carolina was 22.(5
i bushels for the three years,
■ 1938-40, the average in Ex
■ periment Station tests Was
from three to three and a
i half time as great,
t The Lee variety has been
■ popular in the Piedmont
counties for 18, to 20 years,
largely because of its re
> sistance to cold, while Ful
i grain has been more widely
, grown in the Coastal Plain
be used extensively to pro
mote better growth of the
se crops,” Scott said.

and to 'home extent in the
Piedmont.——
Lee and Fulgrain are
still good varieties for the
se two areas, Dr. Middleton
said, but chief interest now
lies in a group of new var
ieties carrying resistance
to both smut and rust, and
with the cold resistance of
Lee. •
Among the-most promis
ing are selections originat
ing from a cross of Lee and
Victo ri a. N*o rt h Carolina
has distributed two variet
ies from this cross, one
known as Letoria and the
other Lelina.
Winter hardiness tests
showed Letoria to be a har
, dier variety than Lee,\ and
Lelina about equal to Lee.
Both carry good resistance
to rust and smut* but are
not absolutely immune to
all strains of either.
Dr. Middleton suggested
that Letoria, Lelina and a
third new variet, Stanton,
be tried extensively thin
fall in the place of Lee in'
the Piedmont, and Victor
grain, Lelina and Stanton
in the Coastal Plain.
