American People Face Acid Test in
\ Treasury’s 2nd War Loan To Raise
; 13 Billion Dollars in Three Weeks
The Nation Dare Not Fail in This Greatest Financ
ing Task in History—“ They Give Their
Lives—You Lend Your Money ”
y Washington, D. C.—Coming as it does upon the heels of in
. i'ome tax payments, the people of America will face an acid test
this month when the Treasury’s Second War Loan drive opens
April 12 with an objective of thirteen billion dollars to be raised
through sale of Government securities.
; A substantial part of this huge financing, the most stupendous
• ever undertaken by any government in the world s history, must
be loaned by people in ordinary walks of life.
High Government officials have'
pointed out that the nation must not
rail in this duty to our men on the
battle fronts who are now carrying
the offensive to the enemy at every
stage. It is obvious to every thinking
man and woman that as the United
Nations take this offensive against
the dictators, the cost of war opera
tions increases in proportion.
The American people must no
longer think of war costs in terms of
equipping a soldier, building a tank
or plane or a ship. We must now
think in terms of the cost of bat
lies, invasions and new offensives.
Attacking armies cost more money
than equipping that army and we
Jmust meet that increased cost by
buying more War Bonds and Second
~War Loan Securities.
■V They Give Their Lives.
, It Is not only necessary that the
i,American people left here at home
1 assume this additional participation
jin the war effort—it is an honor to
,!do so . . . for we here at home can
do no less than attempt to approach
iithe sacrifices of our brave men out
on the lighting fronts to whom the
hast great measure of sacrifice is
,but a daily offering. They give their
I lives . . . we are asked only to
i lend our money.
|( And that is the theme of the Sec
ond War Loan, “They Give Their
Lives—You Lend Your Money.”
if • Financial experts who know mone
tary conditions in the nation point
out that at tire present time there is
in liquid funds, cash and commer
i cial bank deposits over and above
i taxes and present investment in
j Government Bonds, and over and

above what can be bought this year
because of restrictions and ration
ing . . . approximately 40 billions
of dollars which should go into Gov
ernment Bonds.
It should be the objective of every
American to invest these loose dol
lars, idle dollars, in Government se
curities, not only from a patriotic
standpoint, but from the standpoint
of their own financial security.
There is available during the Second
War Loan a type of Security to fit
every pocketbook.
Arc Wild Dollars -■ J:
Every dollar of these forty billions
of dollars available, which is not in
vested in Government securities
during this War Loan Drive is a
“wild” dollar which, together with
its mates, will tend to increase infla
tion. Uncontrolled inflation might
raise the oost of living to a point
where the dollar is worthless. It can
happen. It happened in Germany
after the last war when the price of
a loaf of bread cost more than an
annual wage.
Invested in Government securi
ties, your dollar will work for you. It
will hold down inflation because it is
harnessed in war work; it will help
buy food, transportation, munitions
for our boys on the front lines and
it will bo earning interest that, to
gether with your original loan, will
come back to you later to help you ,
buy the things you cannot buy today !
... to insure your peace of the
future.
Remember those boys out there '
... in Tunisia . . . in the South i
Pacific . . . They give their lives— .
You lend your money. |
WARNER ROBINS DEPOT j

Nashville. Many of these train
ees are women.
With the growth of the depot
came housing and transportation j
problems. A modern village, 1
Warner Robins Manor, which i
will care for 500 families, hasl
risen within a mile of the post.
Added to this and soon to be (
opened will be 65 one-story 1
apartment buildings, being erect
ed in Zeigler Place adjacent to
the manor and large enough to
accomodate 498 families. Other
employees live at the civilian
dormitories, designed to house
2,500 men and women and con
structed of brick and tile, non
critical materials.
Most employees, however, goj
from Macon and elsewhere in]
Middle Georgia, including Perry. [
PRESSURE COOKERS
WILL BE RATIONED!
With only 150,000 units avail
.able to meet an anticipated de
mand for 500,000 home pressure
cookers have been added to grow
ing list of rationed items, L. W.
labor, chairman of the Houston
County Farm Rationing Commit
tee, announced this week.
Rationing of cookers, Mr. Ta
bor said, will be handled by the
County Farm Rationing Com
mittee.
The U. S. Department of Ag
riculture, responding to numer
ous requests by individuals and
agencies interested in the can
ning of Victory Garden products,
i made it clear last week that it
jean recommend only the use of
the steam pressure canner for
the canning of certain types of
(vegetables.
Most of the pressure cookers
this year will be a war model —
j enameled steel bottoms and tin
j plated steel tops. Nearly all
made will be of seven-quart
size, designed to hold seven)
1 glass quart jars or 14 No. 2 tin j
jeans. About 15 percent of the:
'production will be of the 14(
quart jar size. A limited num
ber of commercial size steel re
torts will be made, but will not
be rationed.
Applicants for pressure cook
ers should obtain and file Appli-I
cation Form MK-20a from the
County Farm Machinery Ration
ing Committee, which maintains
headquarters at the County AAA
office, Mr. Tabor said.
SOIL IMPROVEMENT
Complete reports from county
agricultural agents indicate Geor
gia farmers are intensely inter
ested in improving soils as apart
of the drive for additional feed
and food. There is a “huge”
increase in annual lespedeza
acreage. This crop now occupies
around 804,000 acres and is hav
ing a marked influence on live
stock production.
Approximately 13,000,000 lbs.,
or 505,000 acres, of winter le
gume seed were planted, mainly
Austrian winter peas, vetch,
crimson clover and blue lupine.
Blue lupine—a new winter le
gume crop- is showing distinct
progress. From these plantings
around 1,305,000 pounds of win
ter legume seed w r ere produced
and this will help materially
with 1943 plantings.
To help meet the demand for
more livestock, farmers also
I planted 45,000 acres to perman
(ent pasture, and almost 100,000
acres of permanent pasture were
re-worked by fertilizing, plow
ing or clearing. More permanent
pastures would have been plant
led if seed had been available.
The 103,000 acres of temporary
pastures were made up mainly of
small grain-winter legume mix
tures. Around 76,000 acres were
planted to winter hay crops.
There is important develop
ment of perennial crops, such as
kudzu, lespedeza sericea and al
falfa. Around 75,000 acres of
these crops are now established
in the state. In connection with
the soil conservation and im
provement program, farmers are
using additional amounts of
phosphate and lime. Approxi
mately 87.000 tons of 16 percent
superphosphate and 93,000 tons
of limestone were used.

No Shortage of Power,
No Higher Rates
For Farmers
1 1 (T'' •»
VXeorgia’s farmers are essential war workers In the truest sense.
I Upon them we depend for our most basic necessity the food to
sustain life.
The lack of manpower; shortages of fertilizer, seed and ma-
II chinery; restrictions on transportation and other wartime difficul
ties handicap the farmer in doing his vital job.
I Labor-saving electric power, however, is still available with- I
|| °ut war restrictions and the price is as low as ever.
Electric rates are uniform throughout the whole area served
by tins Company, Whether a family lives in the remote mountains
of Northeast Georgia, or in the coastal plain of South Georgia, or
j in the heart of Atlanta or Macon, the rates are the same for every
Upe of electric service. All are on a basis of equality. All get the
same low electric rates.
j j The standard of service likewise is the same. Wherever we
j supply electric service at all, we supply good service. It is avail
j able 24 hours a day, in any amount needed. In the country, as in |
I the city, if is as free from interruption as we can make it. And if
an interruption occurs, the service is quickly restored. All of our
j customers all of them— live within a two-hour drive, by truck,
of our nearest repair crew headquarters. The great majority live
within a one-hour drive.
j es, there are difficulties in farming under present-day condi
j tions low-cost electric service is helping to overcome them.
