DEFENSE CHAIRMAN
ANNOUNCES GOALS
FOR FOOD CAMPAIGN
Seminole county farmers this week
■were called upon to produce an abun
dance in 1942 which will insure a full
dinner pail for every American and
adequate diets for the people of na
tions resisting aggression.
Goals for Seminole county have just
lieen announced by H. G. W oods,
chairman of the Seminole County US
DAY Defense Board. They represent
this county’s share in the state goals
derived from the national target re
cently set up by Secretary of Agri
culture Claude Wickard.
t .The Food for Freedom drive, as it is
known to every farmer in the country
is deSi.?ned to produce next year the
foods needed to meet increasing de
mands.
“It is a program cf abundance and
of economy”, Chairman Woods said
“It would be folly for us to produce
more of the things we already have in
surplus, and not enough of the things
we need and do not have. It would be
waste and poor defense.”
In Seminole county, the biggest
item among the Food for Freedom
goals is peanuts, with 25,821 acres
called for, compared with only 18184
acres this year. Georgia farmers have
been asked to plant and harvest 1,-
137,000 acres of peanuts next year,
compared with an allotment of 550,000
acres this year. Os the total. 590,000
acres have been fixed as the state goal
Jfor peanuts for oil crushing.
Only a very slight reduction is anti-
from Navy pilots who intro
duced dive bombing, aircraft carriers
and catapult take-offs to the rest of
the world. Also, there are opportuni
ties in Naval Aviation for men who
don’t yrant to fly. They can be trained
as aviation mgehmists, metalsmiths,
photographers, obstrvers, or they can
receive instruction in .many other
trades. It’s a great life in the Navy.”

' Among the major goals in the Food
i for Freedom drive will be more eggs
! and milk. Seminole county farmers
are being asked to so increase their
flocks as to produce at least 14 per
cent more eggs next year.
“Milk .and eggs’, Woods declared,
“will prove invaluable in improving
the American diet, as well as streng
thening the Britons and others who
already have felt the pjnch of want
because of agression".
In this connection, the Defense
Board chairman pointed out, thjs
county’s farmers have been asked to
increase the number of milk cows on
their farms by 3 per cent, and to
boost milk production next year by 10
per cent.
Hand in hand with the nirtk pro
duction aims are goals of a 12 par
cent increase in cattle arid calf
slaughter, 3 per cent in hogs.
Like milk and eggs, vegetables also
will play an important rolp ip streng
thening the defense of the demoepg:
•ies through Food for Freedom Woods
asserted.
Goals are being set up for vegeta
bles for fresh markets and fqr pro
cessing, and vegetable allotments,
hitherto in effect i ncommercial vege
tables counties, have been abandoned
in favor of tbs pll-out food production
effort.
Greater stress than eye*- bpfpre is
, being laid on farm gardens , and farm
families throughout the county are
being asked to plant more gardens to
supply home canning needs, thus re-

leasing to other markets many of the
vegetables they have bought in the
past.
“It is important,” the Defense
Board chairman said, that farmers
produce as much on the farm as pos
sible, including meat, milk,- eggs, feed,
and vegetables, so that the drain of
farmer-purchases on the market may
be removed and these foods may be
used to supply other needs.”
Police Canington
Averts Fire
Policeman L. L. Canington averted
a serious fire early Wednesday morn
i ing that could have destroyed a truck, i
trailer and load of peanuts, as well as
saving the driver' of the truck from ■
probable loss of life.
A large truck load of peanuts had
parked on Woolfolk avenue in front
of The News office soon after mid
night Wednesday morning, the driver
lying down on the seat of the cab and
falling asleep.
Policeman Canington, while making
his rounds as night watchman, notic
ed a blaze of fire just back of the
cab of the truck. Investigating reveal
ed that some rope and canvas had
been ignited from the exhaust piped
one of the ropes having fallen off and
caught on the exhaust pipe. All of
the blase was directly over the gas
tank and next to the cab where the
driver was sleeping.
Waking the driver both men went to ■
! work with pails of water and finally I
extinguished the blaze without any |
■ damage other than to the ropes and i

Linder Plans
Nearing A
Reality
| The lifetime dream of Tom Linder,
Georgia’s Commissioner of Agricul
ture approached nearer realization
i today as the national Congress made
readv to consider the “Linder Plan”,
I
j which will provide parity for the
farmer and wil be the most far reach-
I ing and revolutionary farm program
that the United States has ever
; known.
Linder appeared before the Commit
tee in Washington last week and crea
ted a national sensation when he took
issue with Leon Henderson’s price
: control bill, and accused Nathan
'■ Straus and Henry Morgenthau, Jr., of
attempting to drive down further the
price of farm products rather than to
j aid the American farmer.
The “Linder Plan” adopted in Mem
j phis in August by the Southern Agri
cultural Commissioners Association
I provides true parity, which is some
' thing that the American farmer has
i never been able to obtain before.
The Banking and Currency Com
mittee, which has before it now the
{price control bill, was literally thrown
. into a “stew” when Linder pointed
’ out the glaring facts of the price con
trol bill and brought to light what-ef
fect it would have on the farm econo
; my. Linder told the Committee that
it was not right to fix prices for in
dustrial labor and it was not right to
fix prices for agricultural labor. Lind
pr said that there was only one road
[ for the control of prices; that‘road,
, he said, was the fjxjng of a ration be
. twpen agricultural products and indus
. trial products and let labor take care
. of Itself,
i In explaining this parity program
and how it would effect prices of labor
’ and its products, Linder went back to
1910 and quoted the amount of wag
:es received by non-farmers and the
prices paid for industrial products,
i and the amount of income received by
i the farmer apd the price he paid for
industrial products,
’) Ljnder pointed out that in 1910 peo
' i pje Ijyjng on farms received an in
-1 come of sliJ9 pgclp In J 940, he said,
’ farmers received 8161 each or an in
i|-’ ’ * >
crease of only $22 over a period of
; thirty years,
-, On the other hand. Ljnder said, each
j norurfajnieF recgjved |p 1910 1482, and
f|in 1940 these sgme persons received
i S7OO each, or an increase of $2lB a
’ , gainst a $22 increase of those living
■; on farpis,
- ! pflder ajso cited to the Committee
5 the difference jp prjees for industrial
! products in 1910 and in 1940. Every
- figure cited by the Commissioner re-
- vcaled all too clearly what a beating
, the farmer had taken in »he thirty-!
■ year period, pjn(igr spjd that Congress
I had already created controlled epoqo
i my, but thas it was of such a nature
that it aided only,a particular group,
s “Ypu have set up a machine of
i f.rushjng power,” he told the Commit
• to«, ‘'Either the fPFWPr must r ! de °”’
> this machine or be crushed by it, and
■ i unless he receives parity for his pro-,
j ducts he will surely fall under the
wheels of this machine you have crea
ted.” He said that either the machine
must be governd or. that it would de
stroy entirely the American farmer.
He pointed out the destruction of
the middle class in France, subjuga
tion of the millions in Russia and the
poverty suffered of millions of others
over the face of the earth to live un
der governments catering to a parti
cular group. Linder told the Commit
tee that Leon Henderson “had no more
idea of the hardships of people on the
farms than the man in the moon, and j
no more knowledge of financial and!
other problems that beset the farmer
than an Eskimo.” !
Linder, who presented his plan, has !
subsequently been appointed on the'
Committee who will draft legislation!
to be incorporated into tthe Thomasj
Act which is the price control bill.
