Poultry Enterprise
Brings Success To
Floyd Farm Family
Silver Creek, Ga., Jan. 22—
During the time she was a 4-H
club member, Mrs. B. H. Braden,
of Floyd county, was enrolled in
a chicken project. Today, the
Bradens are receiving the major
portion of their income from
poultry.
Some years ago the Bradens
recognized the disadvantages of
one-crop farming and began to
turn from cotton. Many acres
were planted in food and feed
crops, and then they hit on the
idea of poultry farming. That
suited Mrs. Braden fine, because
she had always been interested
in chickens.
About 2,500 White Leghorn
layers are kept on this Floyd
county farm. The Bradens hatch
their own chicks and sell the
cockerels, keeping the female
chicks for layers. Eggs and broil¬
ers are marketed in nearby
Rome at premium prices for
their quality poultry products.
The Bradens have no difficul¬
ty in keeping their demands
supplied the year round, since
they hatch chicks throughout
the season and thus have lay¬
ers of different ages, reports
Mrs. Pearl S. Camstra, Floyd
county home demonstration a-
gent.
In 1942 Mrs. Braden plans to
raise a few turkeys and perhaps
derive some income from this
enterprise in future years.
This Georgia housewife, who
is a member of the community
home demonstration club, usu¬
ally preserves about 150 quarts
of fruits and vegetables each
season for the family of three
which includes a small son. To
help the “Food for Victory” pro¬
gram, Mrs. Braden expects to
double her canning in 1942.
“We’ve all a job in this war
and we can best fight by rais¬
ing more food,” she says, in
pointing out that additional
acreage to food crops will be
planted and more chickens will
be raised to meet the demands
for victory under the increased-
food call of the Department of
Agriculture and the Georgia
Agricultural Extension Service.

the ones we have, are in as
perfect condition as possible.
We must remember that
if we do have adequate
lights, horn and
tires,” this mechanically
condition will not suffice,
the person in charge of the
hicle must be “All Out

safe use of his vehicle. He
be willing to stay on his side

Misery of
Industry Tackles Biggest
Wartime Production Job
Industrialists Agree That President Roosevelt’s
Figures on Weapons Will Be Met
American industry can do the
defense job that President
Roosevelt outlined in his annual
message to Congress.
That is the opinion of the
best industrial brains in the
country, as expressed by leading
manufacturers who will be
charged with carrying out the
President’s program. A round-up
of leaders in the aircraft, tank,
shipbuilding and allied war in¬
dustries revealed a hundred per
cent agreement that “it shall
be done.”
Typical of the many express¬
ions of confidence of industry’s
ability to do the job was that
by William P. Witherow, presi¬
dent of the National Association
of Manufacturers, who said:
“The days of dissension and
friction are past, and you can
be sure that industrial produc¬
tion wiill be in the front ranks
of prosecuting the war. Indus¬
try is now going on an all-out
basis.. You can be certain that
industry will support the gov¬
ernment throughout this prog¬
ram."
OTHERS AGREE
These feelings were echoed by
other industrialist, many of
whom pointed out that Ameri¬
ca’s long-standing superiority in
the manufacture of peace time
goods would contribute greatly
to establishing superiority in
war production.
Lincoln R. Scafe, general man¬
ager of the Martin Nebraska
Company, operator of the Fort
Crook bomber assembly plant in
Omaha, said: “Of course we can
reach those figures. As a mat¬
ter of fact we can do better than
that. If necessary, we can turn
out as many airplanes a year as
we did automobiles.”
Henry Ford poined out that
‘if we can make one tank or
one plane, we can make thous¬
ands of them. All that is neses-
sary in mass production is to
get the first unit right. The
rest follow very easily and
quickly.”
Declaring that “nothing is
impossible for America,” H. Wil¬
liam McCurdy, president of the
Associated Shipbuilders, said
that “I can speak for my com¬
pany, and I am sure for the en¬
tire shipbuilding industry, in
saying that we are prepared to
give everything we have toward
the nation’s war construction
program. We are at war, and
what is necessary will be done.”
This same thought was echo¬
ed by W. L. Scott Alter, presi¬
dent of the American Tool
Works Company, and it summed
up to the attitude of many oth¬
er industrialists throughout the
country. “Almost every day we
get some demand that we say
is fantastic and can’t be done,”
Mr. Alter said, “and then we go
ahead and do it. We don’t know
just what the program will de-
nan d of us, but we haven’t been
stopped yet.”
MEN AND MATERIALS
ARE NEEDED
While declaring that the job
could be done, several manufac¬
turers pointed out that success
of the program depended upon
an adequate and uninterrupted
flow of men and materials into
war industries. Nearly all agree-
ed that it meant gruelling labor,
long hours of work, and sweep¬
ing diversion of materials and
abor from normal civilian pro-
iuction.
The National Council of A-
merican Shipbuilders asserted
that their industry could meet
-he huge ship construction ob¬
jective, if they were given a

given the opportunity to com
plete existing schedules and ac
celerate production without
needless interference, American
industry can and will rise to Z th
emergency and astound
world. With unselfish devotion
by all groups, the job can bn
done.”
Many of the industrialists
predicted that labor shortages
will grow more acute, and that
much of the more non-essential
consumers’ goods will gradually
disappear from the markets as
more and more factories are
converted to war production
They took special care to point
out, however, that this would
not apply to such things as food
and clothing. According to pres¬
ent predictions, there will be an
adequate supply of these.
Their statements indicated
that they see hope for the small
manufacturer, too, as the full
impact of the war production
program is felt throughout the
nation’s factories. The sweeping
expansion of the volume of pro¬
duction that President Roose¬
velt’s latest plan calls for will
lead to more extensive use of
sub-contracting.
NEW PLANTS BUILT
Much of the war effort to date
has required the building of
new plants, which lias made it
difficult for many critics of the
program to see the progress that
has been made, according to
some of the men who were in¬
terviewed. All told, over $2,900,-
000,000 was spent in expanding
manufacturing facilities in 19-
41, and additional billions are
being spent this year. They
point out that much of this
new plant construction is now
coming into use, and this will
soon be apparent in vastly in¬
creased production.
To meet the expected labor
shortage several of the indus¬
trialists recommend an increase
in working hours, shifting work¬
ers in great numbers from var¬
ious civilian callings, and bring¬
ing new workers, including wo¬
men and retired persons, into
active service.
UNITED STATES TO
HAVE SUPERIORITY
When the new war program
is in full swing, they point out
that the United States will have
considerable superiority over the
Axis, with a margin of safety
to spare. The Presidential order
for 120,000 tanks by the end of
1943 will equip 300 armored di¬
visions under the Allied flags on
the present basis of 400 tanks a
division. This does not take ac¬
count of British, Canadian and
Russian tank output. combat
The order for 145,000
planes in two years outstrips
estimates that Germany,
and Japan can produce 100,0
machines in that time. The total
output, too, will be increased
by that of the other members °i
the United Nations, and the
same is true of other war sup
plies called for by the President
giving the United States un
questioned superiority on an
and sea and air under the new
program.
