SEMINOLE COUNTY
CROP SPOILAGE
CAN BE HALVED
Prevention of waste in food distri
bution will be a vital factor in the
effort of Seminole county's 2,037 farm
operators and workers to achieve
their wartime food production goals,
it was indicated today in a survey by
a leading distributor of Georgia farm
produce.
At least half of the estimated $3,-
500,000 annually lost from spoilage
and damage to Georgia fruits and
vegetables alone can be prevented by
the use .f better grading packing!
and by better and more direct distri
bution r.v thods. Earl R. French,
marketing director for Atlantic Com
mission Company, A&P produce af
filiate, declared in the survey’s sum
mary. ?e indicated jthnt sav
ings could be realized from improved
handling of other Georgia farm pro
ducts.
'•lf Seminole county farmers, work
ing with distributors, cut by half the
average 10 to 12 per cent of fruit and
vegetable shipments lost through
damage and spoilage, they will have
achieved the equivalent of a 5 to 6
per cent increase in production with
out any extra acreage, seed, fertilizer,
equipment or farm labor,” French
said.
“Under wartime conditions, use of
efficient production methods and ef
ficient distribution channels such as
those developed by chain stores is be
coming increasingly important,” he
.continued. “For example, Seminole
county’s 1,618 farm family workers
will find their job of increasing pro
duction made more difficult because
of the shrinking farm labor supply,
rising farm wages and limited avail
ability of farm machinery and sup
plies.
"The latest census counted 419 re
gular hired hands in the county.
Since that count was made, farm la
bor lias decreased as much as 49G
in certain areas and up to 26G in
some Georgia districts," French said.
But despite future Itibw curtail
ments, i e said, past performance in
dicates the farmer can approach teed
•production goals. In ten years, cover
ed by recent government reports, the
farmer had increased jjjs productive
efficiency by 25.2 per cent. The aver
age farmer, the survey revealed, fed
11.7 persons in 1929 and ten years la
ter was feeding 14.1 persons from his
fields.
No New Tires
For Three Years
Experts Say
Owners of 22.500,000 automobile’
now operating in this country received
a blunt and gloomy warning Thursday
that they cannot hope to get any new
tires in the next three years or long
er, barring unforeseen war victories
or miracles.
“Leon Henderson, director of civil
ian supply and price administrator
announced the startling details of the
critical wartime rubber shortage at a
public hearing of the special senate
committee investigating national de
fense.
After grimly testifying that there
ffi// b 2nd 5 1 ® A w'Sroßr na7A v
would not be a “single pound of new
crude rubber” available either for new
tires or retreads on some 30,000,000
automobiles of ordinary citizens, Hen
derson said "that means starkly and
simplv that the majority of these cars
are likely to be laid up when their pre
sent tires are worn out and the ingen
unity of their owners has been ex
hausted.
Picture Stays Dark
Later the chunky defense official
modified this a bit by saying officials
still hoped to keep some 7,500,000 of
these cars operating for defense work
ers, on tires made largely from re
claimed rubber during the next three
years. However, this still would leave
22,500,000 cars of ordinary citizens
without tire replacements.
Questions from senators on the in
vestigating committee who previously
had gone over the extensive rubber
data failed to brighten the supply pic
ture,
Henderson said it would be u "near
miracle” if synthetic rubber produc-;
tion could reach the hopod-for goals'
of 300,000 tons next year and 600,000 j
tons for 1944. He specifically caution
ed against expecting any substantial
rubber production from Brazil, or
Guayule plants in this country and
hemisphere.
Gas Rationing Seen
In fact, the fast-talking defense j
official said it might even be neces
sary to ration gasoline in order to'
conserve #ui/ber in existing tires, or
force present owners qf tires to turn
them over to others in preferred
classes.
Secretary of Interior Ickes indicat-'
ed that a decision would be made soon
on the question of setting up a nation
wide system of gasoline rationing.
Ickes, who is petroleum co-ordinator,
said a committee of the petroleum in
dustry Wftp council would report pro
bably this week-gpd, on the action it
deemed iwessjH-y jtj view of the
sinkings of tankers and the diversion
of such ships to war purposes.
“If the industry 7 recommends ra
tioning we very likely will go into
it,” he said.
WPA LIBRARY HERE SETTING
