Records of progress made, . in
1943 as to production of food,feed
and fiber for the war effort and
farm loan repayments were dis
cussed by the group. According to
the lecords of these familiies, the
goals set for them in the nation’s
food for freedom effort, weite - met
100%. 1
Mr. J. V. Dupree, local soil con
servation technician, reviewed the
soil conservation practices- being
carried out on the F. O. farms of
the county. He related that he has
S. C. S. plans on all the F. O.
farms in the county and., that
220,680 feet of terraces have been
constructed, 61,000 kudzu crpwns
have been planted for pastures,
disposal areas, and erosion con
trol strips. Mr. ..Dupree explained
how a payment of $30.00 per acre
could be earned in pasture- land
development thru the m AAA. • Fif
teen acres of pasture land oh these
farms will qualify for payments
this year. The AAA records show
that approximately two tc^ns of
winter legumes seed, 51 tons of
superphosphate and lime were
used on the 19 F. O. farms in the
Fall of 1943.
Lee Posey, John Byrd and Elbert
Posey have each constructed oVer
four miles of terraces on,. 1 their
farms during the past 12 1 mbriths.
Mr. Thomas Childree has increased
his conservation paymentover
300% by carrying out several ‘ of
these practices. He now h&s'his
farm terraced and 20 acres-qf RUd-
zu planted.
Mrs. Sam Bailey told how her
family was able to increase ; their
net income by the production and
preservation of food and'•; feed
crops for the family and livestock
on the farm. Simon Gray, colored,
explained how he is able to get a
net income of $300 per yeat from
his farm woodland and; ,at' the
same time improve the stand and
growth of the timber. Through the
l cooperation of the Farm , project
Forester, Simon secured/ a Cniarcoal
kiln that produces a high grade
of hard wood coal from the black
jack oak cut from his woodland.
In so far as the F. O. Borrowers
of Taylor county are concerned,
COTTON has lost his kingdom on
their farms for iheir records indi
cate that only 36% of their total
income was derived from this
crop.
It was the unanimous opinion
of the group that diversified
farming is largely responsible for
the splendid repayment • record
made last year. Walter and Odell
Hartley, Thomas Childree, Zack
Posey and Sam Bailey made re
payment last year of over $1,000.00
each. Two of these men made re
payments in excess of $2,000.00.
Total collection for the county for
last year was 315% of amount
due and each family present, set
as its goal a erpayment of at least
200% this year.
Before the meeting adjourned,
committees were appointed and
plans made for the next annual
meeting which will be held some
time in December.
