)>abor Shortage Fails To
Deter Farm Defense
. i
North Carolina farmers are iuov-,
itig under full steam toward increas
ed production of all foods and feeds j
grown In the state, according to G.
Tom Scott of Johnston county, chair
mail of the state AAA committee.
Chairman Scott made that statement
last week in a national radio :
broadcast from Washington, D. C.,
where lie and other state farm lead !
ers attended a national AAA confer
ence at' which provisions of the 1942
AAA program were drawu up.
Scott* said that - at least 150,000
Tar Heel farmers are participating
in the emergency food and feed for
defense program, all scheduled to
produce at least 75 percent of the
food and feed 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 caus
cd a mild shortage of farm labor
iu central and eastern sections."
'Some, farmers have had to aban 1
don their homes to make room for
the cantonments, but have moved to
new sites and are gOiug abend, are '
growing vegetables, furnishing 1
meat, butter and eggs for the sol-,
diers," the MA chairman" added.
