COUNTY FARMERS EXPRESS
INNTENT ON FOOD PROGRAM
‘Wheeler Cocnty farm opera
tors are now voluntarily express
ing their intention to paxtici
pate in the war food production
program by filling out farm plan
sheets, Willlam D. Giddens, Jr.,
county AAA administrative of
ticer, said this week.
“Farm plan sheets enable the
War Food Administration to
determiine if goals for vital war
crops will be met during 1944,”
Mirr. Giddens cogtinued. " ihe i~
dication will be more accurate
if all farmers express their in
tentions on such sheets”.
Goals for a number of vitally
needed crops were reviewed late
last year at county and state
meetings, Mr. Giddens pointed
oct. The goals were established
by farmers and agricultural lead
ers in the light of farmers’ abil
ity to meet them.
The AAA admjinistrative offi
cer pointed out that the signing
of farm plan sheets is @ volun
tary effort of the farmer to show
his intention to help meet pro
duction goals this year. The
plan sheet also indicates conser- |
vation practices which will be
carried out in 1944 to maintain
and conserve the productivity of
the scil.- These intentions give
the Department of Agriculture a
basis for planning future pro
grams.
