Uneducated No
Longer Deferred
From Draft
jfjfc men between the ages of 20 and
45 were registered in this county in
the third rgeistration for military ser
vice held Saturday and Monday.
Os the number registered 36 gave
tfr.eir homo addr- elsewhere, leav
ing the local board a net registration
of even 400.
In the registration it was quite no
ticeable the number of men who stat
ed that they had registered for the
first world war, on the other hand
very few youths twenty years old were
Tecored as a large number have al
ready volunteered and are now in ser
vice from this county of that age.
Lack of education has recently
been revoked as grounds for defer
ment and the local board this week re
classified quite a few who were de
ferred for this reason. These men
have been classified 1-A and if they
meet the physical requirements they
will soon be ready for induction.

Seed To Be
Furnished For
Excess Acreage
County Agent W. E. Brigham an
nounced this week that plenty of seed
peanuts are available through his of
fice from th® Commodity Credit Cor
poration for planting excess acreages
over the farmers allotment of peanuts
this year.
Mr. Brigham states that the farm
er must secure his allotment peanuts
from the regular market or some
other source, but that the seed for ex
cess acreage could be secured by ap
plying at the office as soon as the
necessary blanks are received.
For these seed the farmer can
either pay cash, give a plain unse
cured note or borow the peanuts and
pay them back next fall. Those inter
ested should contact Mr. Brigham
! when the note forms needed arrive.

MUST CROP IN
SOUTHEAST
Price support on unlimited acreage.
Seed supply assured for oil acreage.
The countryside of the South hums
with activity as the farmer takes ad
vantage of the balmy days of the pre
sent “Spring-spell” to get his land in
readiness for the tasks of wartime
production which will tax all his re
sources of acres and strength.
“Its the biggest job the farmer ever
had”, said Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard, recently, “and they have less
to do it with”.
And so it is. Amazing goals have
been set, particularly in food crops,
and, in order to comply, acres that
have “lain out” for the long years of
the program of scarcity now are being
brought to life and productiveness to
produce an abundance. Farmers who
have heard of nothing but “acreage
cuts” now hear from the Agricultur
al War Boards, set up in each state
and county: “There is no such thing
as too much, but their is danger of
scarcity."
Topping the list of MUSTS for the
food for Freedom Program is the pea
nut, once the humblest of farm pro
ducts of the South. The dramatic rise
of the peanut to the place of NUM
BER ONE on the agricultural produc
tion program of the South is due to
the fact that the peanut is the richest
source of oil available in large quanti
ties in this country. >
’ Fats and oils are vitally essential to
a nation geared to the high tempo of
wartime activities, —producing arma
ments and foods, training, fighting.
This nation has never producted en
ough of these necessities for its own
needs and has imported vast supplies
from China, Senegal, the East In
dies, South America, Spain and other
countries. Now, lack of shipping faci
lities and dangers in the two oceans
have cut off these stores. Too, con
sumption in the United States has
greatly increased, the nation concum
ing eleven billion pounds of vegetable
oils and fats in 1941, an increase of
one and one-third billions over 1940.
Now, it will be the job of the farmer
of the old peanut area and other areas
adapted to the growing of the peanut
to step up their production of oil pea
nuts and thus do their part toward
building up the needed supply of oils.
In an effort to prevent a servious
shortage, the peanut farmers have
been asked to increase their two mil
lion acre planting of 1941 to five mil
lion acres for 1942—an amazing step-
up.
Yet the Secretary says: “Even if
they do plant every acre of this in
crease asked of them, we would still
be one billion pounds short of the
vegetable oils needed by the nation .
It was to smooth out the major dif
ficulties lying in the way of the far
mer’s response to the need for oil
peanuts that the following program
has been worked out, dealing with the
problems of planting, harvesting, and
marketing.
In the Southeast, a seed supply for
planting this oil peanut acreage is be
ing made available on liberal trms
by the Commodity Credit Corporation,
through the facilities of the GFA
Peanut Association. Under this plan,
the grower has only to go to his local
AAA office, state the number of acres
he intends planting to peanuts for oil
purposes and secure a certificate of
need of seed for those acres to present
to the seed daler or warehouseman
where GFA seed stocks are handled.
There he may pay cash or sign a sim
ple note which is not a lien or mort
gage on his crop, this note to be paid
at harvest time in cash or by delivery
of peanuts from the grower’s 1942
crop, Seed so secured are to be used
for planting oil acreage only, and seed
for the planting of quota acreage or
for hogging purposes can be secured
from the usual dealers or other sour
ces.
Machinery needs of all types for
harvesting the crop have had serious
study, and the Secretary of Agricul-

Synthetic Tires
Stand 20
Months Test
, Barely 20 months since tire contain
ing synthetic rubber were first soW to.
. 1 America’s motorists, the versatile
i man-made material may be the na-
.; tion’s “trump card” against the stop-
I page of imports from the Far East.
i According to B. F. Goodrich, mana
| ger of B. F. Goodrich and Company,
‘ Akron, Ohio, the Government’s re
i cently announced $4000,000,000 syn
i thetic expansion program is expected
I to substantially relieve the vital needs
1 of our armed forces for rubber when
I the new plants are completed.
“Fortunately America already has
valuable experience in the use of syn
thetic rubber in tires, and unlike Nazi
Germany, need not put the material
• through such a long ‘trial and error’
■ period before it can be used to keep
■our mechanized forces, aircraft and
(other war vehicles in action,” B. F.
■ Goodrich said.
I He pointed out that several thou
sand tires made of a compound con
| taining more than 50% of Ameripol
synthetic rubber are now rolling on
the nation’s highways on cars and
light trucks, building up service ex
perience that will benefit our Gov
ernment.
“In hundreds of communities, pa
triotic motorists and business firms
who purchased these Ameripol Silver
town tire, manufactured by The B. F.
Goodrich Company, are learning that
synthetic ruber can be used in vary
ing proportions in tires which are
comparable to those made of natur
al rubber in mileage, durability, and
safe service,” the dealer declared.
According to B. F. Goodrich, 75%
of America’s normal rubber consump
tion goes into the manufacture of
tires and tubes and as a reesult tire i
rubber is the nation’s greatest mater- j
; ial need now that war has entered the i
, Pacific area, disrupting shipments of i
. natural rubber from the Far East, j
“While the Government’s synthetic i
expansion program is not expected to
provide civilian tire rubber for some
time to come because of the tremen
dous requirements of America’s armed,
forces, it is reassuring to know that
’ our military vehicles will be equipped
with tires of proven quality and du
‘rability,’’ B, F. Goodrich said.
