Cotton Planters
Heavy In Favor
Os 1942 Quotas
94.8 Per Cent of Growers in
19 States Anorove Measure.
t
For the fifth consecutive year—and
on this occasion in wartime — southern
farmers have voted to produce and
market their cotton under a strict
federal control program.
Virtually complete returns from a
referendum Saturday gave 694,556
voters for an 37,671 against continu
ance of marketing quotas, which were
imposed for the first time under the
present farm law in 1938.
This vote gave a favorable per
centage of 94.8. or far more than the
necessary two-thirds. It also was the
highest percentage of any of the five
cotton referenda.
Federal farm officials had asked
IT WILL BE NOTHING LESS THAN
A REAL CHRISTMAS!
Who wants to “cut out Christmas” this year? Do YOU?
It is assumed that you do not, even though now and
then some one who labors under the influence of “depres
sion” talk suggests letting the gladest, happiest season of
the year go begging.
To spoil Christmas would be to spoil the whole year.
There are several excellent reasons why the Christmas
season should be observed in good old ways to which we
have long been ..ecustomed to in this county.
In th? first place, to “cut out Christmas” would be to
deepen depression. It would exert a discouraging influence.
It would create an impression which conditions do not jus
tify. It would send the old year out and bring the new year
in with gloom clouds overhanging.
The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of good will. Its
mission is to shed cheer and happiness. Gloom and dark
forebodings have no place in it.
Christmas should never mean the foolish spending of
money. Wastefulness is never to be justified. But there is
no reason why this should not be a normal Christmas—
with friends and loved ones remembered, and Santa Claus
functioning as of yore.
Such should be the Christmas we now approach.

Uncle Sam Farmers' Best Customer;
x 30 Marketing Centers Established

Uncle Saitf. the American farm
er's best individual customer,
spends $750,000 a day every day in
the year on foodstuffs for his
army.
To afford the best possible facil
ities in handling these immense
sales, it is announced that 30 re
gional marketing centers are being
established throughout the country
where producers may sell direct or
through community or farm co
operatives. In this manner the
X Quartermaster Corps bought 750
ions of turkey together with all
the trimmings for the soldiers
Thanksgiving dinner, and just now
Uncle Sam is stocking up for the
Christmas holidays and ail the
hearty meals /hat will come in
between.
- Through the marketing centers it
is declared that Sam and
the millions of American farmers
will get better acquainted. ‘
Sam will get fresh produce of the
highest quality and the fanners
will get higher prices. An example
of the volume of goods taken by
the army is reported in recent re
quisitions for rations during the
that the quotas be continued because!
of the existence of a two-year supply
of cotton and darker prospects for
exports due to the war.
In place of cotton, farmers are be
ing urged to produce more food to
meet needs of not only this nation
but of its allies in the war.
Low Income !
Farmers Are
Organizing
I In the battle to improve the lot of
the low-income farmer, advances in
Seminole County on two fronts were
reported today by Hugh E. Gleaton,
Farm Security Administration county
supervisor.
One of these is the organization of
community groups for joint action by
families on small farms who alone
might be helpless. In this county, 5
autumn maneuvers in the Carolinas
, where the purchases in Columbia
i and Wellington marketing centers
i included: 2,600,000 dozen of eggs,
1.600,000 pounds of butter, 420,000
pounds of cheese, 315,000 pounds of
turkey and 704,000 pounds of
chicken.
At the aame time a program has
been announced for the purchase
■ of a large part of the seasonal out
put of local canneries, smaller
industries situated in the various
i fruit and vegetable growing re
gions. These district purchases will
augment the recent buying of 126,-
000,000 cans of vegetables through
the Chicago Quartermaster Depot.
Os the 50.000 horses and mules
doing their bit in the anny the
great majority of these equine re
cruits were brought from the farms
within the last few months, the
purchases amounting to 3239,372.
The spring program calls for a still
greater number of riding horses
and draught animals.
From all sections of the country
come reports that Uncle Sam’s
marketbasket is a symbol of pros
perity on the farm.
Donalsonville news f.uday, decenmer 19th. 1941.
groups have been formed.
The other is the campaign to set
ten years as the term of farm leases.
<r WB
“Much interest has been developed
in both these objectives,” said Mr.
Gleaton.” All through the Southeast
reports are made of progress toward
organizing 5,000 community groups
out of which it is hoped will come 250
county purchasing and marketing as
i sociations.
“At the same time, ground work is
being laid for the longer leases, with
both landlords and tenants being edu
cated in the value of secure tenure,
long enough to permit improvement of
lands and homes.”
The two programs have really one
objective, said Mr. Gleaton. There can
be no sound community life unless the
people who take part in it can be
made sure that they will be located in
one spot long enough to build up ties
with their neighbors and with the land
they work.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYBODY! 1
he midst of a world literally falling falling to pieces due to the ravages
rar, what a blessing it is that we in America can still celebrate Christ
in the light of its true significance. Moreso than any other people, we
look back almost two thousand years to the Manager in Bethlehem and M

work with their neighbors. The one
thing leads to the other. While the
definite goal of FSA in promoting
community organization is to form
