During the month of February
a Salvage program is being con
ducted with special emphasis on
tin cans, waste grease, and old
silk and nylon hosiery. The sal
vaging of these items is a war
job for all women.
Save all used food cans includ
ing milk cans, also tobacco and
coffee cans. Paint and varnish
cans are not suitable for salvage.
Prepare these cans for salvage as
directed and take them to any
grocery store where they will be
collected by the truck of the
Coca-Cola company and shipped
to a de-tinning plant for govern
ment use.
Tin is needed in guns, tanks,
planes, gas masks, ships, rifles,
ammunition, and all sorts of
mechanized equipment. There
is no substitute for it and 90 per
cent of our tin supply is in the
hands of the enemy.
Waste Grease
Grease is used in the manufac
ture of glycerine which is used
in explosives, compasses, paints,
and medicines, all essential to
the war effort.
After a pound of waste grease
has been saved, take it to Ro
gers Store in Perry and receive
4c per lb. for it. Swift and Co.
in Macon will collect this grease
from Rogers and supply to gov
ernment.
Old Hosiery
Take all silk or nylon hosiery
to the store of Moore Dry Goods
Co., Perry. From there they
will be shipped to a designated
place to be used in parachutes
and powder bags.
Please do these things as soon
as possible. Don’t forget! Your
government needs your help!

In hard times and good, in peace and war, American farmers are
i real production patriots, declares the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture. Prices haven’t always been good during the past 12 years, but !
farmers have kept the nation’s pantries full. Today farm prices are
2 percent above those of 1929—but farmers are producing more than
i 25 percent more than in 1929, an all-time record harvest

Food doubles its price after it leaves the farm. Some farm prod
ucts, on which processing and other costs are high, more than double
their price before reaching consumers, latest figures from tVe U. S.
Department of Agriculture reveal. There’s only ab>wt 1% cents
worth of wheat in an S or 9 cent loaf of Uead, for mstaice, and
about 14 cents worth of cotton in a dollar shirt.
PRICE PROTECTION
FOR PEANUT GROWERS
Farmers may go ahead and
make their plans for meeting
their full peanut goal in 1943
with the full assurance that they
will have price protection and are
not being asked to produce pea
nuts at a loss, Ivy W. Duggan,
native Georgian and director of
the Agricultural Adjustment
Agency’s southern region an
nounced in Atlanta recently.
Mr. Duggan disclosed that a
jU. S. Department of Agriculture
[recommendation of a one-price
program for peanuts this year
has been approved by James F.
Byrnes, director of economic
stabilization.
The AAA official said that
while such a program would re
quire legislative action by Con
gress, he had every reason to
[believe that early approval would
be given a one-price program.
The text of Mr. Duggan’s
statement follows:
“Under the program, prices
would be supported at 85 per
cent of the parity price for pea
nuts, with adjustment for the
normal price relationship among
types, for grades, and for loca
tion.
“With the present parity price
of $148.80 per ton and an aver
age quality crop, the support
prices for Southeastern Spanish
peanuts would average in the
neighborhood of $l3O per ton,
with normal relationships for the
•[other types of peanuts, such
ras V irginia, Southwestern Span
ish, and runners. For each type
!of peanuts a price by grades
| would range around the average,
[with some grades above the
| average and some below the
i average price.
“The proposed program would
Ibe substituted for the two-price
[system in effect in 1942, under
which quota peanuts were sold at
one price and excess peanuts for
oil at another price. It would be
more comparable to the price
supports afforded by the cotton
program, with which farmers
are familiar and under which a
base loan value is announced
with differentials for grade and
staple differences, and for loca
tion.’’
F. S. A. ASKS FARMERS
TO REGISTER NEEDS
Robert E. Horton, county su
pervisor for the Farm Security
Administration cooperating in
the all out mobilization of farm
effort, today called on all Hous
ton county farmers to help bring
idle land, and farmers short of
land, together for all-out produc
tion.
Mr. Horton urged landlords
with vacant farms, large farm
ers with more acreage than they
can work with present labor, and
farmers without enough land for
full scale production, to register
their needs at the county FSA
office.
We must bring land-power
and man-power together," Mr.
Horton warned. ‘‘Every acre
not working for food production
will be working for the Axis in
1.943."
‘‘Right here in Houston coun
ty," Mr, Horton said, ‘‘there are
plenty of small farmers who can
work additional acreage. At thel
same time there are some opera
tors forced to reduce production
because of labor and machinery
shortages. We want to bring
the two together."
Farmers and landlords can se
cure assistance in working out
leases and farm plans through
the County War Board or the
FSA office. Mr. Horton said. He
added that war loans for the
purchase of equipment,livestock,
and other operating goods arel
available through the FSA and!
other leading agencies, and every'
farmer who can increase his pro-j
duction will be aided by one or'
more of the agricultural agencies,!
concluded Mr. Horton,

HIGH LIGHTS IN
THE GEORGIA SCENE
As Reported for GPA
By ROY McGINTY
ATLANTA, Feb. 2, (Special
to THE HOME JOURNAL from
the State Capitol)—Broad gaug
ed and far-sighted statesman
ship awaits the infinite processes
of time to test and prove the
value of its works, while simple
measures affecting the daily
lives of men —here and now
draw immediate and appreciative
response. Which, probably, is
why so much so-called states
manship takes the narrower and
shorter view. This is just anoth
er wayof saying that the high
light of the third week of this
session of the General Assembly
was not the passage of the volu
minous measures for the further
reorganization of the state gov
ernment, but the enactment of
the “Time Bill,“transferring the
entire state from Eastern War
Time to Central War Time, and
moving all clocks back one hour.
Because it affects the daily pat
tern of living of every man, wo
man and child in Georgia, this
simple measure outranks in pub
lic interest all other acts of this
session combined.
Governor Arnall plans to take
a loaf from the record of presi
dent Roosevelt and go on the air
this Friday evening with a“Fire
side Chat” to the people of Geor
gia. The broadcast will be over
WSB. The talk is expected to
draw a large listening audience,
and the Governor has promised
an interesting half an hour. It
is the first time a governor of
Georgia has gone on the air to
the people except on a campaign
election message. Governor Ar
nall will speak at 10:30 p, m.
Central War Time.
Reorganization Continues
Governor Arnall continued to.
take over control of the various
departments of state govern
ment the past week by placing
men of his own choosing in these
departments as custodians of
funds and property, and where
resistance was encountered from
the Talmadge-appointtd depart
ment head, legislation was start
ed to abolish the department and
create another to take its place
As this is written only one de.
panment head—Revenue Com
missioner Jack Forrester—-h a s
resigned. His resignation came
after James V. Carmichael, as a
custodian of funds and property,
had. recommended to the Gover
nor that a large number of men
be dropped from the department
1 payroll as unnecessary. Eugene
Cook, solicitor general of the
Dublin circuit, was appointed to
succeed Forrester,
Zack Cravey, head of the de
partment of natural resources,
was ordered to trim his payroll
by $60,000, while legislation went
forward to abolish the depart
ment entirely and place its ac
tivities under other heads.
Many Georgia legislators see
the need of legislation which
will require all department
heads to go out of office with the
governor who appoints them,and
permit a new governor to as
sume control of the state’s busi
ness without compelling the
legislature to consume a good
portion of its time reorganizing
the state government to get rid
of unsympathetic hold-over of
ficials.
“When Talmadge did it they
called it dictatorship, but now
its by ‘executive order,’ ” said
the young lady in the red hat as
she walked away with a derisive
laugh that left no doubt as to
which side she was on.
