DONALSONVILLE NEWS Established February, 1916. Entered as second class matter February 12. 1916, at the post office at Donalsonville, Georgia under the act of March 3, 1879. ELLISON DUNN, editor-owner Official organ of Seminole County and the City of Donalsonville, Georgia. SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year SI.OO Six Months .50 MEMBER: ; National Editorial Association Georgia Press Association Advertising Rates Reasonable And Furnished On Request One-half acre garden is recommend ed for the average family by the Geor gia Agricultural Extension Service. Two cows are recommended to sup ply a constant supply of dairy pro ducts to the farm family. Kudzu planted adjacent to the per manent pasture can readily be used for temporary grazing, especially dur ing the dry seasons. Four-H club members constitute a big force in the Department of Agri culture’s food-for-victory campaign. 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.
