aTHE home fronts
With the nation on a war footing
here are some of the things the j
South may expect in the coming
months;
Transportation troubles . • ■
Fewer and slower passenger trains
because of heavy troop movement
from the many army camps in the
South. Crowded busses N '°
•
through bus service and no new
routes.
Gas rationing everywhere . . .
In the Atlantic states to save j
gasoline, elsewiiere to conserve
tires.
More Money
An increasing amount of w r ar
orders for Southern firms both
large and small . . . The regional j
WPB recently set a million dollars
a day as its minimum goal for j
bringing new business to the South
and it’s getting the business now.
This means more employment, bet
ter jobs, more money for everyone
who buys and sells.
But we can’t expect to build
any new homes, stores, or bridges,
And business at roadside stands,
tourist camps and resorts will be
hit hard
'More Demand for Cotton
The wool problem is growing I
more serious Folks will wear i
more cotton clothing . . . Clothes
won’t be rationed this year, but
we may expect rationing of im
ported things, including tea and
coffee.
Pork may grow harder to get

because we’re sending lots of pork
abroad. The same is true of sea
foods and fish
Retail deliveries will be greatly
curtailed.
Most of the milk trucks will be
off the streets in less than two
years unless further steps are
taken to save their tires. Horses
have already gone back on the job
in some southern cities.
Food Control
A food requirements committee
has been set up under WPB to
take control over the nation's
food supplies.
President Roosevelt's rubber sal
vage campaign is under way with
gas stations paying a cent a
pound for the vital stuff. They're
serving as collection depots for the
government.
WPB plans to save a million ,
pounds of brass this year by using
substitute materials in electric
light bulbs, but this won’t effect
anything but their appearance.
Not because of military black
0 uts but to save power for war in
dustries, we may find ourselves
in a darker W'orld. But it will be
far brighter than the total black
ness of Hitler’s world.

Eroded Land Is
Producing Income
For Polk Farmer
J. B. McCarty. Polk County far
mer is putting all his land that
won’t successfully produce other
crops into kuduz and Lespedeza
sericea, as a part of a complete
conservation program he worked
out with the assistance of the
Coosa River soil conservation dis
trict.
During the past three years, Mr.
McCarthy has plannted 48 acres of
the most severely eroded land on
his 185-acre farm to these two
crops and expects to get most of
his hay and temporary grazing
for his cattle from this source as
he increases the size of his herd
during the next few years.
From six acres of Lespedeza ser
icea planted when he first started
his conservation program in 1939.
Mr. McCarthy cut three tons of
hay and harvested 985 pounds of
seed last fall. He could have sold
the seed for around $300. Instead,
he used the seed for planting sn
additional 31 acres of sericea this
spring. He also has 12 acres of
kudzu, part of which is three years
j old and will furnish a crop of
J high-quality this year.
German blood-suckers, so iliey are
; seeking other fields,
However horrible lt is it is 9tm
more so, w'hen w r e realize that
even in our fair America, there
have been, and still are, people
(s0 . called loyal) who gave a list _
ening ear to Hitler and his propa
i ganda.
It is enough to make us shudder.
