' THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY. HERTFORD, N. C, FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1&41 PAGE THREE A' ( n ROGER Al KYES'-- Binder, Ntiijnsl farm Youth FounJation PRIORITIES AND The American fcnuef Is Si; Siscov-! ering that occasional items which he usually finds readily available must now be . prdered, ,rom the factory. In some c-s no deliv-, ery date is be- ing promised.-Unfortunately, we Ameri cans fail to heed the signs, which should be an adequate warn ing to us all. Today there are only isolat ed items that are hard to get within a rea sonable period, difficult to get Soon it will be essential equip- ment in time lor use unless re quirements are anticipated ruffl c '2ntly far in advance. Under normal conditions a manufacturer need hot place steel requirements more than .thirty days ahead of desired shipment. Today the manufacturer must buy at least twelve months ahead of the time the material is needed. This creates quite a problem, since it is difficult to accurately estimate the number of units of a certain piece of equipment the farmer will need twelve months hence. "All of us realize that prices will go up due to increased Wages and other expenses. There is an other kind pf price rise which farmer can help prevent that is, the result of supply and de mand. Suppose one hundred farmers wished to buy one hundred new pkws -but there were only fifty available at the time these farmers wanted them. Only fifty farmers would get plows. Because one hundred farmers wanted them the fifty who bought plows would re ceive practically nothing for their equipment as trade-in. The nfct result if that a higher price would be paid in cash outlay for the plows Involved. There Is way tte farmer uV prevent this sort of situation that is, by doing what the rnano lecturer is doing; namely, anticK pate the needs of next spring right now. Such a procedure is impor-j . tant for another reason. National' defense is a colossal job. In ad-' dition to the task of planning de-' tense and designing weapons of warfare, there is the actual prob lem of supplying materials. The government has set up a' Priorities Board which will, after . completing a survey of require ments for each industry, deter mine how much material will be allotted to it. Moreover, each industry will be given a number denoting importance of its posi tion in light of our defense effort . Weapons of warfare take priority over all other items. In the last war agricultural im plements were in second position on the theory that food was next to arms in value to a nation at c war. Jt is hoped, tot the sake of the farmer as well as those de ' pendent upon him for food, that materials for agricultural imple ments will be given priority over all industries except actual muni tions and equipment for warfare. At the moment some materials 'Sre very scarce others not so r scarce. One difficulty today is that materials are being earmarked for defense equipment, which is still in the plan stage "on paper only." This ties up the material, .creating a more acute condition 'than is necessary. Such problems will soon be solved, once the Board of Priori ties is able to survey the require ments of essential industries. Ev ery industry will attempt to sell the authorities on the idea that it should be rated ahead of others. '.Farm organizations and farm ' equipment companies should fol low this situation closely in order to protect farm interests. The safest way lor the farmer to protect his own interests Is to anticipate his 'requirements well In advance of actual need to Insure v delivery. The control of essential : raw materials will work more ef ficiently -as time goes on, but, the actual t supply in relation 'to de- ' : mand yrtii become , more scarce.. Every farmer should secure essenr tial Items immediately. z WHITESTON NEWS ' Mr. and lira. Jim Hill, Edmond Hill, Louise Hill and 'Mr. ' Hugh Odom, of Hertford County.

Labor Shortage Fails To Deter Farm Defense North Carolina farmers are moving under full steam ahead toward in creased production of all foods and feeds grown in the State, according to G. Tom Scott of Johnston county, chairman of the State AAA: commit tee. Chairman 'Scott made that state ment last week in a national radio broadcast from Washington, D. C, where he and other State farm lead ers attended a national AAA confer ence at which provisions of the 194 AAA program were drawn up. Scott said that at least 150,000 Tar Heel farmers are participating in the food and feed-for-defense pro gram, all scheduled to produce at least 75 per cent of the food and feea needed on the farm this year "all this despite the presence in the State of four large military cantonment building programs which of necessity have caused a mild shortage of farm labor in central and eastern sections." "Some farmers have had to aban don their homes to make room for the cantonments, but have moved to new sites and are going ahead, are growing vegetables, furnishing meat, butter and eggs for the soldiers," the AAA chairman added. Also attending the AAA conference -June 10-13 were: E. Y. Floyd, State AAA executive officer; Dean I. O. Schaub of N. C. State College; W. Herbert White of Caswell County, State AAA committeeman, and Vann Taylor of Pitt County, AAA commit teeman. SHOWER HONORS MRS. C. P. QUINCY, JR. Mrs. Sidney Layden, Mrs. Addie N. Jones and Mrs. T. W.

Brown, junior statistician of the State De partment of Agriculture, reported to day in the June 1 Federal-State Crop Reporting; Service summary. "Lima beans have enjoyed normal growth and were not up far enough to be effected materially by the re cent . drought," Brown explained. "Most other truck crops suffered greater injury than at any time dur ing the past five years." The indicated production of lima beans on June 1 was reported at 98,000 bushels, 14,000 bushels above last year and 25,000 bushels above the past 10-year (1930-1939) aver age. From 1,500 acres, 100 above i last year, growers are expecting- a yield of 65 bushels per acre or five bushels more than last season.
