Vegetables and
Needed, Agent Says
Fruits and vegetables are valu¬
able protective foods, contribut¬
ing minerals and vitamins to the
diet, Home Demonstration
Miss Berryman said this week.
In advising farm families to
use as many fruits and vege¬
tables as possible now, she said
these substances are essentials
in building blood, bones and
teeth, promote appetite and di¬
gestion, and perform other im¬
portant body functions.
All fruits and vegetables are
not equally rich in the various
vitamins and minerals. Green
leafy vegetables contain the
largest quantities, being particu¬
larly rich in vitamin A. At least
one serving a day should be in¬
cluded in the diet.
Yellow vegetables such as
carrots and sweet potatoes are
also especially rich in vitamin
A. Peas and beans contain con¬
siderable protein. They supple¬
ment the green leafy vegetables
and assist in providing needed
minerals and vitamins.
Many vitamins in fruits and
vegetables may be lost in food
preparation, the agent warned.
The minerals and some of the
vitamins are readily soluble in
water. Heat and air are also de¬
structive to certain vitamins. In
cooking foods it is best to use
only a small amount of water
and cook as little as possible.

By CARL HARBUCK
Old-fashioned Southern hos¬
pitality and fever-heat political
enthusiasm ran rampant in
Newnan Saturday July 4, in
celebration of the official open¬
ing of Ellis ArnaU’s campaign
for Governor. Veteran followers
of Georgia’s politics proclaimed
this the most colorful and en-
thusaiastic event of its kind
they had ever witnessed.
People of Coweta County went
“all-out” in their plans to give
their home-town candidate the
“full-speed-ahead” signal in the
official opening of his campaign.
Bands playing! Flags waving!
Banners reading “Elect Arnall
Governor!” Special souvenir
editions of the Newnan Herald
and the Newnan Times- Free
barbecue, Brunswick stew with
all the trimmings . . that’s the
scene and atmosphere that
greeted the throngs that came
from all sections of the state.
Mr. Arnall expressed his ap¬
preciation to his fellow towns¬
men for their part in arrang¬
ing the celebration, and for
their friendship, Interest and
support of his candidacy for
Governor.
Appropriately, he cited the ty¬
rannical incidents that, 166
years ago, led to the struggle of
the early American colonies for \
existence and the signing of the
Declaration of Independence. He
recited parts of this ever-im- ;
portant document pertaining to
the rights of the people, setting
forth their duty, as well as their
rights, to protect themselves a-
gainst any dictatorial power
when that pow r er becomes de¬
structive to their rights and
happiness.
Mr. Arnall spoke of the price¬
less heritage of the American
people under our Democratic
form of government, and made
Eight Cents Penalty
On Extra Cotton Set
A tentative cotton marketing
quota penalty of eight cents a
pound has been set for the 1942-
43 marketing year pending es¬
tablishment of the cotton loan
rate about a month hence, T. R.
Breedlove, state administrative
officer of the Agricultural Ad¬
justment Agency, revealed this
week.
“Since the loan rate will not
be set until about August 1,” he
said, “it became necessary, in
view of early harvests, to set
preliminary penalty rate im¬
mediately to cover cotton mark¬
ed in excess of the farm mark¬
eting quota.”
The loan rate, under provis¬
ions of amendments to the Agri¬
cultural Adjustment Act of 1938,
will be fixed at 85 percent of the
parity price on August 1, the
beginning of the cotton mark¬
eting year.
The cotton marketing quota
penalty rate for 1942-43 was
seven cents a pound.

Jnat 1 ires, Repair n
Parts To Be Scarce
Dade County farmers
warned by members of
County USDA War Board,
leaders in the wartime
production drive, that both
pair parts and tires for
cars and trucks will become
creasingly scarce during
months, and that vigerous
servation efforts must be
ertaken immediately.
The board urges that
give immediate thought to
of cutting down on driving,
as “share-your-car” and
your-truck methods” of
bor hood pooling.
Preference ratings with
tire rationing boards won’t
any good when the tii'es
gone, nor will there be
more repair parts after
mobile supply shelves have
cleaned out, declared H.G.
kins, war board chairman.
V “You should drive your
and your truck as carefully
though you weren’t expecting
replacement tire or repair
for the duration,” he
“Every farmer should let
neighbors know when he
to town and offer to take
or run errands for them. All
us should drive just as little
possible, but when a trip
necessary it should serve
than one family.”

“It's a case of no tires, no

clared. “But I know we can lick

We’ll have to dust off our old-
time spirit of pioneer

To produce this
beef and at the same time

up for 1942, Dade County
ers might well consider the
portance of good bulls.

Cotton Farmers
Insured Against
War Losses, Too
Cotton crops insured against
unavoidable weather, disease
and insect hazards also will be
protected against war-related
losses by the Federal Crop In¬
surance Corporation’s all-risk
insurance contract, A.M. Thorn¬
ton, state supervisor of the FCIC
announced this week.
“The farmer,’ 1 he said “will be
compensated for unavoidable
losses caused by the war, just as
he would be for losses caused
by drouth, insects, plant di¬
seases, wind, fire, hail, or wint¬
er kill. This protection, however,
applies only to crops covered by
the FCIC’s all-risk insurance
contract.”
War loss protection, Thornton
added, will guarantee the grow¬
er for the full amount of his
contract—50 percent or 75 per¬
cent of his average yield, the
maximum amounts of coverage
he is guaranteed from usual
crop loss causes.
Approximately 170,000 cotton
farming units are Insured this
year.
