The Food Situation Continued from Page One : kinds of food that cannot be bought another year, : It is vitally important that every farmer try to produce enough for the farm and as much as pos- - gible to sell to prevent a more serious food shortage = the nation. L _ Scrapping of Farm Machinery and Implements Should Be Done With Care. It is important that the available scrap from the farms be turned in to the government to be used in the. war effort. It is just as vitally important that plows, implements and machinery be conserved for using on the farm. No plows or other farm equipment should be turned in to the scrap pile without first removing all usable parts. -ufacture of new farm implements to one-fifth as many as are produced in normal times. This means that the farmers will not be able to buy much new equipment. On most farms there are old plows and other _ ferred to another plow and be used again. : It would be a fine idea if someone in each county would establish a Farmers Exchange? where the farmers could carry old. plows and old farm equip- ment, dismantle them, and get the usable parts to- _ gether for further use. Those parts that are worthless ean be scrapped on the spot and go into the war ee effort. _ Neighbors Should Plan Their Crops Together > The labor problem will be so acute in 1943 that it will be impossible for each individual farmer to carry out extensive plans on his own. TX If neighboring farmers could get together and plan crops together so that they could swap labor in harvesting perishable crops it would enable them to accomplish much more. For instance: If onesneighbor is ; growing tobacco but. no peanuts for market, and another neighbor is growing peanuts but no tobacco for market, they can swap some labor to good advantage in harvesting poe crops. This is Just one illustration. selective Service Boards z= The Commissioners of Agriculture were inform- ed by authorities in Washington that from now on alls for quotas would be directed to the states rather han to the counties. It seems that some counties have been depleted of manpower to a much greater extent than other counties. We were told that local boards had the liscretion to report the situation in their respective eounties with regard to available men for the draft, and where men are not available in one county the quota can be transferred to other counties that have not suffered as much loss in manpower. Patriotism Not An Issue. 4 We know that nearly all our men of military age are patriotic and willing to do anything in their power to serve a Po ee duce enough food for the farm, as there will be many | ~The War Production Board has limited the man- - equipment that have usable parts that can be trans- $1.75 M.- other. bry.
