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.

SPECIAL Demonstration By \ Factory Representative "V CITY GROCERY " SATURDAY ONLY Uncle Sam Farmers' Best Customer; x 30 Marketing Centers Established r~ — jjmiu-.— jwigii i— .j.« : ' WWB 3H ” S' I 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.
