State FSA Families
Aid Food Production
Recognizing that food production
now ranks in importance with the
production of guns, tanks and planes,
small fanners of North Carolina bol
stered .by Panh Security Administra
tion loans and supervision, have con
verted their f arms to a war oasis ana
. . i
have piannea to increase meir pi in
duction this year even beyond favor
able increases of last year, said A.
Houston Edwards, County RR Super
visor. A summary of FSA borrowers'
farm and home plans for 1943, just
released here, indicates that FSA
families in this State will increase
their milk cows this year by more
than 5,900 cows, or an average of
slightly more than one milk animal
per three farms.
In terms of average milk produc
tion per cow during 1942, this in
crease in milk cows will mean an ad
ditional 2,700,000 gallons of milk)
will be produced by FSA borrowers
in North Carolina in 1943, or enough
to supply 58,700 soldiers one pint
nnnli via. 'In 1 ' f. iV an Arkfik ITHQI1 TVl
caul KCI ua a v 1 an tiiiiiQ jr.i. iiij
summary was based on 8,300 farm
plans, covering 1943 farming opera
tions by FSA, rural rehabilitation
borrowers in North Carolina.
The summary also shows that
North Carolina borrowers have plan
ned to increase their laying flocks,
over last year, by 384,000 hens, or an
average of 25 hens per farm. This
increase would feed eggs to 70,800
soldiers for a year, on the basis of
30 dozen eggs per soldier, per year.
The planned increase in meat and
poultry during 1943 averages 169
pounds per borrower, or a total in
crease over last year of 2,640,276
pounds for all Farm Security fami
lies in the State. Similarly, 99 ad
ditional quarts of fruits and vege
tables will be canned by each family
this year, or a total of 1,542,510
more quarts than were canned last
year when the average was 380
quarts per family.
Past studies of food production
performance have shown that low
income families make the greatest
proportionate increase in production
the first year on the FSA program,
according to a statement accompany
ing the summary.
"The needs of low-income farmers
coming on the FSA program are re
viewed with each applicant by the
FSA county supervisor. Usually such
families have surplus family labor.

tribute to the Food-for-Freedom

program they need additional operat
ing funds, farm and home equipment
technical advice, and supervision.
The first step toward increasing the
production of Food-for-Jfreedom nas
been achieved when these needs are
made available to FSA borrowers
coming on the program. Although
borrowers show the greatest percent
asre increase in food production the
first year, past FSA records reveal
that families on the program for two
or more years continue to increas
their production."
The statement emphasizes that the
figures summarized show increases
over 1942 only. "In 1942, supervisea
PSA borrowers constituting only 7.6
per cent of all farmers in the United
States, produced 36 per cent of the
entire increase in milk production,
and accounted for at least one-tenth
of the entire increase in the produc
tion of beef, dry beans and peanuis
for that year," it was pointed out
