PRODUCERS, ARE YOU
 DOING YOUR FULL DUTY?

Producers of the county. even though there is a shortage of much l needed labor and in many cases cap ital. are greatly increasing their acreage to crops this year-are doing their bit" The livestock are also more in number and are looking well. But what about the large acreage Of land which could well be farmed. but is not farmed largely on account of lack of equipment and capital and labCr?
 What about getting government aid in carrying on further development when the farmers will not fill out the blanks sent them in order that the government, through the Extension Service and Council of Defense. may know what they are doing; what can be done: where this can be done. etc, so that such assistance may be brought about?
 Many of these filled-out forms have been returned to me at Wilcox and are now being tabulated, but there are still many Of the farmers in some communities who have not filed out and returned the forms Some Of those returned are not as com pletely filled out as they should have been.
 1, This information is important. The National Agricultural maps will be made out from the returns of the Survey forms. If only a small per cent of the farmers in a community fill out and return the forms it will mean that a small per cent of the crops will be listed, which may not be sufficient for the community to be 
 taken into consideration, and thus you are doing your community. as well as yourself, a direct injustice.
 Every one who interested n com munity as well as individual progress. should fill out the forms as complete ly as possible and return them promptly. for this work must all be completed by September 18th. and there Is much work to be done in compiling the data after the forms are received.
 There are a few, who through misunderstanding. do not fully ap.
