Farmers Doing
Their Part
Says Brown
Harry L. Brown, general agent of
the Farm Credit Administration, Col
umbia, S. C., declared in an interview
here last week that American farm
ers are arounsed to the War’s threat
to civilization and that they are dili
gently doing their part to meet the
test.
Mr. Brown, who has had a long ca
reer of outstanding service to agricul
j ture, was here Thursday for a short
visit with the Bainbridge Production
Credit Association and the National
Farm Loan Association. Prior to his
connection with the Farm Credit Ad
ministration he served as director of
j extension in Georgia and later as As
sistant Secretary of Agriculture un
der Secretary Wallace, now the Vice
President.
“Farmers throughout the country,”
Mr. Brown said, “are not only aroused
to the danger of the situation but they
are also aware of the absolute neces
sity for America’s biggest agricultural
production program and they are do
ing something about it.
j “For example,” he continued, “I have
I learned while here that practically all
I members of the Bainbridge Production
i Credit Association have increased
I their peanut acreage ranging from
i fifty to a hundred per cent. They are
j doing this because they feel that it is
I their patriotic duty to do so and they
j are certainly to be commended for
their loyalty.”
Mr. Brown pointed out that in the
past peanut oil has been used prin
ciapally for food and that most of
the increased production will be used
to replace imported oils for shorten
ings, cooking fats, oleomargerine, and
i salad oils but that during the emer
gency it can be substituted for other
oils which are used in making explo
sives, anti-freeze, medicines, and other
vital products.
He stated that agencies operating
under the supervision of the Farm
j Creidt Administration, such as the
i production credit association and the
national farm loan association, are an
vious to be of the most possible ser
vice to farmers in meeting the need
for additional credit as the result of
changed farming operations. The pro
duction credit association ofers short
term creidt to farmers for production
and general agricultural purposes
while national farm loan associations
'make long-term mortgage loans.

War Production Chairman Nelson
said pending conversion orders, plus
those already issued, will virtually
halt production of civilian durable
goods within the next two months. He
said chief current bottlenecks in con
version are machine tool shortages
and difficulties in expanding indus
trial facilities.
Chairman Nelson said expenditures
for munitions and war construction
during March exceeded $2,500 million,
with an additional SSOO million for pay
and subsistence. He reported steel
plate shipments in March set an all
time record. In the first seven days of
April, he said, 444 labor-management
committees reported they had volun
tarily organized to get war produc
tion drives underway in their plants.
The War Department announced it
will place a liaison officer at each
Federal Reserve Bank to expedite the
program of arranging government
guaranteed loans for small businesses
in war production.
President Roosevelt, acting under
the Second War Powers Act, authoriz
ed the WPB, Kar, and Navy and Trea
sury Departments, Maritime Commis
sion and the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation to inspect war plants and
to audit their books. The inspections
will aim to avoid waste of government
funds and to implement measures
which have been undertaken to fores
tall price increases.
The President’s Committee on Fair
Employment Practice ordered 10 large
companies to cease discriminating a
gainst workers because of race or re
ligion.
Housing and Construction
The WPB prohibited unauthorized
residential construction costing more
than SSOO except for maintenance and
repair, agricultural construction of
more than SI,OOO. and all other con
struction costing more than $5,000.
The Board prohibited sale, purchase,
delivery or withdrawal from inventory
of any construction material for such
purposes. Projects of certain govern
ment agencies and those to restore
property destroyed by fire or floods
were exempt from the order.
Local Federal Housing Administra
tion officers will determine whether
construction projects are eligible for
recommendation to the WPB. Appeals
from decisions of local FHA officers
may be made to a Board composed of
the Administrator of the order, a re
presentative of labor and a third mem
ber who will represent the end pro
duct branch of the WPB within whose
purisdiction the class of project would
fall.
Civilian Supply
The WPB ordered a reduction in ga
soline deliveries to filling stations in
17 Eastern States, the District of Col
umbia, Washington and Oregon, ef
fective April 16, from the current
four-fifths to two-thirds of the aver
age amounts they received in De-

Thomasville’s 21st
Annual Rose Show !
On Friday April 24
Public Invited To Attend
Beautiful Display Os Roses,
Annuals, etc.
The Thomasville Garden Club
this year is again presenting its an
nual rose show, the exhibit to be the
twenty-first show of the kind to be
held, and featuring roses, annuals etc.
The show will be held simultane
ously this year at the American Le
gion Home, where roses will be fea
tured almost to the exclusion of every
thing else, while at the Municipal
Building, uptown, Annuals and other
similar blossoms, will be featured.
More attention is being given this
year o the quality of the flowers
shown and the perfection of the dis
plays, than in former years and
though the entire show will not be as
large as in some former years it will
be one of the finest exhibits of the
kind in Georgia.
The change in the method of stag
ing the show was made in view of
the prevailing war-time conditions,
as it was not felt that the same mag
nitude should be attempted at this
time.
