PAGE EIGHT Paifeipation In AAA Program Gains In 1942 kJ More North Carolina farmers took part in the 1942 farm pro-[ gram of the Agricultural Adjust- j ment Agency than in any pervi-j ous program, accordig to figures supplied by H. A. Patten, state! AAA executive assistant at State j College. Records at the State AAA Of-1 fice, he said, show that of 240,-j 404 farm operatros in the state | last year, 228,240 participated in! the AAA program. A total of, 213,045 farmers participated in * the 1941 program. Payments to North Carolina j farmers for carrying out approv-i ed soil-building practices and crop adjustment measured a- j mounted to $12,600,883 under thoi 1942 program, as compared with I more than $14,000,000 in the pre-, vious year. “Reductions in total 1942 pro gram payments were due to au tomatic elimination of parity j payments because of increased! market prices, and changes made, in the program to meet wartime conditions”, Patten said. “This to-! tal payment is made up of max-; imum payments which may he I earned on any farm cooperating I in the program’’. Use of ground limestone as a soil-building material last year i amounted to 479,926 tons, 329,926 ( tons of which were obtained! through the AAA as a grant-of- j aid material in lieu of conserva-1 i tion payments.

Eighty-five food nutritionists, representing college, extension and commer cial home economics departments, will carry the message of food production and fodd conser vation to every family in the State. Following the Raleigh confer ence, two-day training courses,, such as the one held in Person,' are to be held in all counties;! for leaders in the towns and; cities, and for neighborhood leaders in the country districts. Demonstrations in the latest] . methods of steam pressure can ning, hot water cooking, freezing,' drying and brining will be giv- j en. Every effort will be made to. conserve, without food spoilage, i all of the surplus fruits and veg- j etables that ecme from this year’s crop of Victory Gardens. The food situation is serious,, but the workshop conference] pointed out that North Carolina] victory gardeners can have a year-round supply of fresh vege tables and can easily can enough of the surplus supply to fully take care of the situation, if ev eryone who can grow a good garden, cooperates. Victory Gar dens are not rationed and neith er are the home-canned products from these gardens rationed. The unified program of North | Carolina nutritionists is in the j National spotlight. Several Gov-j eminent representatives from j Washington were present at the] Raleigh conference and they will] present outlines of the North Carolina program as a pattern i for other states to follow. j i GRAY HAIR?
