Chairman War
Board Stresses
Need For Milk
Lotta Quartz will have to forget
“business as usual” and step up her
milk production if Georgia farmers
are to reach their wartime goals, J.
L. Bailey, chairman of the Butts
County USD A War Board, declared
this week.
“It’s evident,” Mr. Bailey said,
“that ‘normal’ milk production isn’t
going to be enough. We can’t pet
a quick increase in the number of
cows for milkinp, but we can and
must boost that production throuph
increased feedinp.
“A national poal of 125,000,000,-
000 pounds of milk has been set for
this year, compared with 116,500,-
000,000 pounds last year. Georpia
has been asked for a 10 percent in
crease over 1941—about 1,150,000,-
000 pounds of milk. To pet it, we’ll
just have to increase Lotta Quartz’
rations.”
Althouph Lotta and her pirl
friends did the best job they’ve ever
done in 1941—produced more milk
than ever before —she, as an indi
vidual, must do even better than
than this year, the War Board chair
man said.
It is estimated, he said, that only
about 10 percent of the 4,500,000
dairy herds in the United States are
already producinp at or near capaci
ty. Production in some herds, it is
reported, could be boosted as much
as 25 percent with improved feed
inp and care.
FARM FIRES
Some 2,500 persons are burned
to death in fires on farms and in
rural communities each year. About
$200,000,000 approximately two
thirds of the national fire loss—is
the estimated cost of these fires.

dear editer,
We bin thinkin we’d rite to our
congresmen to send us some money
to build a bum shelter wid. We
wants enuf to build a good*un and
big enuf to shelter bout 50 soles.
Bout that manny on our place and
the nabors places. This war done
got on our nerves now and sumpin
got to be did erbout it. I think
Congress is the place to write to
git actshur.. They dont go to sleep
up there like them Shorts done at
Pearl Arber. Whenever we has a
faverable anser from Washington
and they begin work on our shelter
we wants you to come and take
some pitchers fer your vallerble pa
per.
So long.
SUSIE STUCKEY.
Blackouts are becoming common
in this section. Macon and Atlanta
have had trial blackouts and soon
almost every community will .go
through the experience. It is better
to know what to do and not need it
than wait until trouble comes and
not know what to do during a raid.
NEWS
“WE ARE AT WAR!” That’s the headline we’ve all been
reading since Pearl Harbor. But there’s another headline just
coming into its own that’s just as news-worthy. It’s the head
line—“AMERICAN FARMER TO WIN THE WAR.”
Yes, the American farmer will win this war because he knows
what’s going on. He knows that production and production
alone is the only way to victory. He knows that a nation looks
to him to supply them with the material necessary to wage suc
cessful warfare. How does he know all this? He knows it
because the United States has the best system of news reporting
to let the people know what’s what and what’s needed. The Amer
ican farmer found out what was needed and he did something
about it

FSA Director Asks
For More Food To
Help War Effort
To more than 30,000 small farm
ers in Georgia an appeal for enlist
ment in the effort to produce more
food as a vital war necessity was
sent out this week by E. C. Young,
state director of the Farm Security
Administration.
The appeal was contained in a
letter to each of the FSA borrowers
in Georgia to acquaint families on
the Farm Security program with
the Department of Agriculture’s
goals of food production, which have
been enlarged from tne ngures es
tablished last spring. At that time,
52,459 FSA families in Region Five
received loans with which to pur
chase 5,000,000 baby chicks, 20,000
milk cows and 20,000 brood sows,
and equipment and feed for their
proper rearing.
"You are going to hear about
plans of the Farm Security Admin
istration to help you grow more
food than you have already planned
to grow, if you need help,” Young
said.
“No matter how small your farm,
your duty is plain.
THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1942
“In this war, plowshares are as
important as planes, hoes as power
ful as rifles, food is as necessary as
shells and bullets.
“This nation needs food. The
world needs food. Food is needed
at home, it is needed to supply our
armies and the millions working in
our plants of war production.
“It is needed abroad by England,
which is girt by her enemies—and
our enemies. It is needed by Russia,
who, fighting the common foe with
out count of cost, has laid waste her
harvest fields.
“It will be needed even more by
a hungry world after the war, and
we shall not be able to bring about
a lasting and just peace unless we
can help feed the hungry millions of
the world and thus help to end the
bitterness of their suffering.”
One of the best ways farm people
can help beat the Japs and Germans
is to grow a garden this year.
