FOOD FOR VICTORY
By MARTHA LEE MADDOX
In every state of these United
States farmers arc now enlisted in
the greatest food production pro
gram the world has ever known—
the food for Freedom program or
ganized by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Your nation’s call for food has
brought an overwhelming response.
Your promise to meet your food pro
duction goal, puts you literally on
the fighting front. Now food will
flow from your farm—from every
farm—so that every American fight
ing man, every American war work
er and civilian, can have the strength
—building foods that victory re
quires.
Beyond our own huge wartime
needs, we are pledged to deliver to
Great Britain vast quantities of milk,
pork, eggs, poultry, fruit, vegeta
bles and vegetable oils. These are
County Quota
For Peanuts
Is 1,000 Acres
ALLOTMENT HIKED FROM 400
TO 1,000 ACRES FOR CURRENT
SEASON. MORE OIL IS URG
ED AS WAR NEED
The Butts county allotment of
peanuts for the current year has
been increased from 400 to 1,000
acres, it was revealed at the AAA
office Tuesday.
The department of agriculture is
urging that more peanuts be produc
ed as a source of oil. Under war
conditions there is a scarcity of oil
and fats and all restrictions have
been removed to the growing of pea
nuts as a commercial crop.
The guaranteed price is SBO.OO
per ton.
Information shows divid
ed sentiment regarding the growing
of peanuts as a money crop. Some
farmers have already signed for
acreage and others are debating the
matter.
Butts county has had experience
before in growing peanuts, first in
the twenties when the boll weevil
came into this section, and later a
few years ago. Much of the soil
here is suited to growing peanuts.
In the event farmers engage in
peanut growing on a large scale it
is likely that additional harvesting
and picking machinery will have to
be installed.
G. D. MOSS HAS ACQUIRED
PROPERTY AT JENKINSBURG
Sale by O. E. Smith, Butts county
real estate agent, of a brick store,
warehouse, vacant lot and the J. M.
Bankston home place at Jenkins
burg to G. D, Moss, Jackson business
man and farmer, is reported. The
consideration, a cash one, was $2,-
150. The J. M. Bankston home
place consists of 10-room house and
4 acres of land.
Mr. Moss, who owns farm lands
on route 42 between Jackson and
■Tenkinsburg, acquired the property
as an investment and has not an
nounced plans for the development
of the new holdings.

foods her people need so they can
fight and work shoulder to shoulder
with us.
Food for Freedom. . . . Food
for Victory! Now is the time to
get your farm ready. Careful plans
must be made and made now. This
is almost your last opportunity to
get your implements in shape. This
is the zero hour for getting all set
to produce the foods that will help
us and our allies smash through to
victory and peace.
Food is a big gun in this war.
Food will win it. It .will break the
enemy down. Foods which you pro
duce on your farm are just as vital
as planes, ships and tanks.
Your own farm goal is a vital link
in a great chain of effort. No chain
is stronger than its weakest link.
That’s why what you do, on your
farm, is so everlasting important. .

YEAR-ROUND PASTURE
Pasture systems, says E. D. Alex
ander, Extension agronomist, should
be worked so as to have grazing if
possible throughout the year. This
can best be accomplished by a com
bination of lowland and upland and
the use of warm and cool season
plants. , Temporary pastures should
be used to fill in for and give pro
tection to the permanent pasture.
MISCELLANY
It seems that many congressmen,
even the President, supported the
much censured pension bill without
knowing what it, contained.
Can it be that government after
awhile gets so complicated that the
*
whole thing must fall to the ground
and start again from scratch?
These unknowing signers were
simply trusting in those who origi
nated and who debated the act.
They were, as a columnist has said,
“victims of the system.”
Do you, friends of Jackson, ever
sign papers whose contents are not
known to you? You probably do.
We all do; for in many cases cer
tain clauses, say in an insurance
policy, are written in such fine print
and at such length, that we cannot
well take it all in.
But in these cases we are trust
ing in those who present for our
signature such papers to be signed.
Down at the courthouse a few days
ago this writer affixed signature
not knowing what the was.
However, it was put before us by
a Fulton county official, and we left
our trust all in him.
This would all add up to a hea
vier responsibility resting upon our
own Congressman who inserted the
rider, and upon the official objec
tors whose business it was to ques
tion the bill every step of the way.
The public is now of opinion these
should come down.
And right along with the above,
it is well to repeat that we average
citizens have no protection against
Congressional mistakes and selfish
ness like the public press. This
thing was shaken in the air only by
the newspapers. Without them it
would never have been caught.
Dear Jacksonian, if you don’t read
the newspapers, well, for you it’s
just too bad. And for the country
as well.
Mr. Justice Roberts, of our high
est court, who conducted the investi
gation of Pearl Harbor, has used
these words:
“This* Sense of superiority and sat
isfaction—‘lt can’t happen to us;
we’re too big; we’re too great; we
are building all those airplanes’.”
He used these words to show why
such awful things have distressed
us. Our smug complacency. The
enemy’s efficiency. Their unfailing
watchfulness. .
It all reminds of a conversation
had in Jackson about swing music.
One person remarked that swing is
not played in any other country of
the world. And some Jacksonian
spoke up and said: The others not
only don’t play it. They CANT.”
Can’t play swing—which has just
two cords in the base, the do and
the sol.
The reason they don’t have swing
is probably because it unfits and
disorganizes the hearing for proper
music.
But there is one other great rea
son, as we think, why our dreadful
enemies are so efficient. And that
reason is all curled, and folded, and
tightly packed in the one word—
SUBORDINATION.
In this country we don’t know
much about it. A Sunday school
superintendent has to go pussyfoot
ing, for days on end, around cer
tain teachers, when he wishes to
make a minor change in the school.
And it’s very largely the same in
our governmental affairs. Nothing
can be prompt, for all must be ap
peased and cajoled and compensated.
And so it comes about that those
nations that CAN be prompt have
gotten the jump on us—at the start.
Yes, but only at the start. Let
us hope that soon, very soon, we
will take all orders in our stride,
not losing one step while we fall
into obedience.
Our favorite columnist describes
Herr Hitler as he of the “petulant
bang and idiotic mustache.”’ Right
good description, isn’t it?
And yet, as Dr. Gardner, the
Presbyterian radio broadcaster, has
said, we Americans should not de
scend to the childish way of calling

Strategically spotted along our coasts...

rooms”—nerve centers of defense against attack. Here, in
formation of approaching enemy planes is received and in

On home fronts, too, industries and citizens are on the
alert against unscrupulous individuals or small groups whose
lawless conduct constitutes another, equally-challenging peril
to our American way of life.
Typical example of this vigilance is the Self-Regulation
program of Georgia’s 110,000,000 beer industry. When this
Committee finds unlawful conditions at a retail outlet, action
starts. Unless the place immediately cleans up, it is turned
over to the authorities to close up.
Only the reputable beer retailer deserves
reputable patronage. That’s how YOU can help.
