 The Resolution supporting the organization of a Territorial Fed eration of Labor, as it was intro- duced by Chinella and passed by the convention, provided that such organization would be similar to state federations of labor, that it would be made up of all unions and central labor councils in A. aska and it would maintain a cen tral office to carry out the federal tion's work which would be to CO., ordinate the interests of labor in the Territory, see that no legis- lation detrimental to labor is passed by the Territorial Legisla- ture, etc.

Dairymen Asked
For More Milk

The greatest need for increased
production under the nations 81,
gantic food-for- defense program
in 1912 lies in the field Of dairy
ing. says John A. Arey, extension
dairyman of N. c. State College
Yet existing facilities for pro-
duction in relation to probable
needs indicate that dairy farmers
of the country face a different
task in meeting the national 1912
production goal of 125,0OO,OOO,-
900 pounds, an increase of 7 per-
cent over the 117,00O,0O0,OOO
pounds expected to be produced
in 1941.
However, North Carolina farm
ers will find the demand not too
difficult to meet, since they have
been asked to increase production
by only 4 per cent. This year it is
estimated that Tar Heel COWS will
give 1,462,000,000 pounds of milk.
Next year their goal has been set
at 1,52O,OOO,OOO.
At the same time, North Caro-
linians have been asked to add
10000 milk COWS to their herds by
next year. Cow population this
year is estimated at 100000. Next
year, the government has asked
that it be jumped to 100000.
The State College specialist
pointed out that better feeding
and management should bring
North Carolina up to it's 1912 goal
with no trouble. He expressed
confidence that COW owners OF
this state would heed the govern
ments request and try to do their
part in this national defense eff
fort.
Much of the expected increase
will be used at home to improve
the health of American citizens,
while additional large amounts
will be shipped overseas to the
British through the Lease-Lend
Act.

SOVbean Loan
Program By AAA

A loan program for soybeans,
the first ever offered under the
Commodity Credit program and
designed to aid orderly marketing
of the 1941 crop, has just been an
nounced by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture.
David T. House, AAA State
committeeman and widely-knoWn
farmer of Eastern North Carolina,
said soybean production has been
stimulated greatly by defense de-
mands. Although the crop is con-
centrated in the eastern part of
the state, some soybeans are
grown in practically every coun-
ty.
Loans will be made through
the Commodity Credit Corpora
ton and will be administered in
the field by county committees of
the AAA, in a manner similar to
that now used in connection with
loan programs in effect for wheat,
corn and other grain. Grades to
serve as basis for determining the
loan rate will be established &C
cording to the official grain STAN
dards of the United States for
soybeans.
Loans at the rate of $1.05 per
bushel for No. 2 or better soy
beans of all classes, stored on
farms, will enable farmers to re-
tain their crop for marketing at a
later time. BY providing a regu-
lar flow of soybeans to the mills
all during the year it is hoped to
avoid overcrowding the limited
facilities of the crushing mills
and the capacities of the CONNER
cial warehouses.
All notes on loans will mature
on demand, on June 80, 1912, but
loans on farm-stored soybeans
may be extended for one year.
Loan values for the beans stored
in approved warehouses will be at
Z cents per bushel less than for
farm-stored beans. This difference
represents the estimated average
of storage charges the Commodity
Credit Corporation would be re-
quired to pay to the warehouse
man should the producer fail to
pay his note.
Loans for farm-stored soybeans
will be on note and chattel
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1941-10-30

mortgage basis, and warehouse
loans will be on note and loan
agreement basis with warehouse
receipts as collateral. Loans on
the 1941 soybean crop will be
made until January 81, 1912.
Loans will be available only to
farmers cooperating in the AAA
farm program.
