SM-Point Food
Production Plan
Is Begun By FSA.
Secretary of Agriculture
Pledges Aid to Small
Farm Operators.

A six-point wartime food produc-
ton and marketing program, ordered
by the National Food Requirements
committee, is being put into work
Immediately by the Farm Security
Administration in Pine county, G.. c.
Jones, FSA supervisor, announced
recently.
The program, contained in a direc-
tive from Secretary of Agriculture
Claude R. Wickard, who is also chair
man of the National Food Require
ments committee, charges the FSA
with the responsibility of bringing
into full production the land, labor
and resources of the small farm OPP
orators who, with the aid of Farm
Security, will be able to achieve
their maximum output of food and
fiber"
Best Use of Resources.
"The job ahead, as outlined in
Secretary Wickard's directive, is to
make the best use of man power,
land and equipment to produce and
market the food that is vital to vic
tory. Farm Security will encourage
small farmers who can get credit
through normal channels to do so,
in order that the financing job we
and other Federal agencies do will
make the greatest possible contribu-
ton to the production of food" Mr.
Jones said
Secretary Wickard, in his directive
to the FSA, said: There is no ques-
ton that those who can produce more
will produce more. There is a SER
ious question, however, whether a
great part of our farmers, a third or
more of them, can bring their labor
into full use and their land into full
production through their own unaided
efforts.
Can Not Produce Too Much.
This nation can not produce too
much of the food needed to win this
war. The needs of the United Ma
tons today are in many cases al
ready greater than the available
supply. With adequate organization
and effort we can meet this vast de-
mand!"
The growing importance of the
small farmer in producing the ma
TONS food requirements is indicated
in the secretary's request that the
Farm Security administration advise
him of any measures necessary to
strengthen or broaden FSA's efforts
in carrying out the wartime program
as directed.
1.-TWO hundred fifty FSA families
in Pine county have greatly increased
their production this year by i'm
proved farm and home management
practices, including better gardens,
and more efficient care of dairy cat
tle," Supervisor Jones said. "Sec-
rotary Wickard is calling upon all
farmers to increase our nations sup
ply of foodstuffs, the example set in
Pine county by families cooperating
with the FSA program is indicative
of what small operators can accom-
plish with adequate credit and help
full planning provided by the FSA."

rest with some agency of the As

vested the power to hire and fire.
Under these facts we are in

the Board was within its legal
right in terminating DR.. Silagy's
services in the manner in which
it did So"

ices of DR.. Silagy be terminated?"

in favor of the directors, but only

The report foes on to say, "To
US it appears that at least some
of these issues were of grave i'm
portance for the future of the
Greenbelt Health Association and
that DR.. Silagy's conduct was not
conducive toward cooperation be-

Board, as the body of duly elected
representatives of the Association,
was authorized to formulate and

ion, takes issue on several points

after having approved the agree

The second matter submitted to
the American Arbitration Associ-

that an examination of testimony

NO ONE-SIDED SHOW

There have been increasing signs late
lv that some New Deal economic planners
are scheming d postwar reconstruction
period in which government Will allocate
production, fix prices, grant prlorltles,
approve purchases, direct manufacture
and in general exercise total control over
the business structure of the nation
Some of it will be necessary The
government is not going to be able to turn
loose of all strings the minute the war
ends. But some of the plans now under
consideration seem to indicate an unWlll-
ingness to turn loose of any OF them, ever.
This business of reconstruction IS not
going to be a one-sided show, II 1t is to
succeed. The government will have to
help, but the government can help most
by exercising the least possible contfol
under the circumstances. The least pos
sjble" control will be a lot, at least for
few months. But it would be insane to
90 overheard. and establish national
socialist form of government, when we
will have Just finished blasting an identl.,
cal form of government off the face OF
the earth.
Business and industry should be given
the biggest role in postwar reconstruct
ton. The demand will exist, and indus
try will do everything it can to meet the
demand. That is healthy situation Tor
business, for industry and for the work
ing man. 1t is healthy, in fact for every
body but the political schemers who want
to keep hard and fast control over the
economic life of every individual.
The role of government in the era to
come should be, as it was intended to be
in the beginning, one of policing. 1t
should be up to the government to see
that profiteers, racketeers and gratters
are kept out of the picture. Beyond that
the average American should be able to
dictate his own way of living.
