WOODRUFF NEWS FOOD PRODUCTION More than a third of the Nations increase in milk production in 1942 came from 463,941 farms of Farm Security Administration borrowers, the Department of Agriculture reported today. In terms of the Nations total increase, milk topped the list of production by these borrowers, according to results of a survey of their production. The Farm Security Administration on the basis of its survey, reported that these families, constituting 7.6 percent of the 6,097,000 farm operators listed increased their by the 1940 census, milk production by 1,419,000 pounds or 36 percent of the total increase for the Nation, his was a 20 percent increase over their 1941 production, compared to a three percent increase made by all farmers. All of this increase may not have been, of course, a net increase since some of the cows purchased in 1942 by FSA borrowers would have been milked by their original owners. Significant increases by Farm Security borrowers also were shown for other food crops. In terms of their own production the year before, these 1942 increases ranged from 20 to 106 percent. In terms of the Nations total increase they also contributed 27 percent of the Nations increase in dry beans and 10 percent of the total increase in eggs, chickens and peanuts. These families operated with Farm Security Administration credit and supervision. Early in 1942, following January revision of the Nations war food goals as a result of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the families revised their farm plana to provide greater increases of the foods called for. Many of them planned Substantial production of crops such as potatoes, peanuts, peas, beans, etc., besides increasing production In dairy product, poultry and meat. , war-need- war-need- MOTORISTS WITH B OR C BOOKS MUST GET TIRES INSPECTED Rich county motorists who have "B or C mileage ration books were reminded today by Lynn Cox, chairman of the War Price Rationing Board, that Feb. 28th is their deadline for initial tire inspections under the Office of Price Administrations program of periodic inspection to make the taes now on cars last as long as possible.
