Low-Income Farmer Has Place In Defense Program fanner in Seminolo County has a place in the Farm De fense program announced by Secre tary of Agriculture Wickard, no less than the larger producer, it was stat ed today by Hugh E, Gleaton, county farm supervisor of the Farm Securi ty Administration. “No matter how small the farm,” said Mr. Gleaton, “it can be turned to j the purpose of national defense, which means, in the case of agriculture, the production of more food for ourselves and for our friends overseas, “For every family on the Farm Se-: curity program, minimum production goals have been established, and its farm plan will be written for the coming season with a view to produc-; ing which the Secretary says is need-; ed abroad as well as at home.” The minimum production to be urg- ; ed by every FSA family in Seminole i County will be: Wheat, 1-2 acre; a 12-, month garden, 1-3 acre; Irish potato es, 1-4 acre; sweet potatoes, 1-2 acre, For feed crops, increases from 50 to 200 percent will be urged in every: farm plan written, the better to as- 1 sure larger production from livestock ’ enterprises, w)th goals as follows;! Oats and three acres; hay, six acres; grain sorghum, two acres; anil] building crops, five acres; improved! pastures, one acre-. Every family’e plan will include a minimum of 100 chickens, with egg production to be emphasised; cows, two; hogs for market, ope; hogs for subsistence, four, Every hem in the program involves i increase over the figures for the pre- | sent production. Mr. Gleaton pointed out that even if a farm is 100 small to produce food or feed in amounts important to the national goals, the little farmer can do his part by rais ing produce for his own use, to avoid j buying of stocks that will be neces-• sary for shipment overseas. As for the cash crops of which the} Secretary has asked increased produc-; tion—peanufs and truck—the amounts i assigned to the individual small j farmer will be calculated according to > County quotas, MOVE TO MOULTRIE - !■■■■■ Mr. and Mrs. Ray Darbyshire, pro-j minent Seminole County farmers have moved to Moultrie this week where Mr. Darbyshire will be connected wft’h the Darbyshire Tractor of that city.
