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. Rev. P. E. Lester Will Preach Here For Baptists Rev. P. E.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY OF SEMINOLE AND THE CITY OF DONALSONVILLE, GEORGIA PEANUTS NO.-1 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- (Turn To No. One On Back Page) DONALSONVILLE NEWS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20TH, 1942.

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. • - FINAL NOTICE I have instructions to make levies: | immediately and start advertising! ’ property to satisfy all unpaid 1941 . tax fl. fas. which are now in my hands Ifor collection.
