Postwar Farm Projects
b. the Associated Prsss.


RICHMOND, Va, Sept. l4.-Spe-
|ciflc projects, such as establishment
|of county owned reforestation aroas,
viii be outlined for postwar work Ia
agricultural under plans announced
yesterday by the Agricultural Plan
ming Committee Of the State Plan
ming Board.
A subcommittee Of DR.. H. n.
Young of Virginia Tech and L. M.
Walker. jr., State Agriculture COM
missioner, was named to redraft
the agricultural postwar program
and to propose specific projects for
land use and improvement Of agri-
culture.
The committee, as a whole, went
on record against any project for
large scale resettlement OF veterans
or war workers on Virginia farms.
Raymond v. Long, director of the
State Planning Board, explained
that with the advances in technology
the question was one of fewer farm
ers doing more work with more
machinery than having more farm
ers and more small farms.
An exception to this general plan,
he said, would be in the case Of in
dustrial workers who might have
the opportunity of living on small
land areas and doing farming on
the side. The board favors decen-
tralization Of industry to avoid mill
towns.

pounds.

price on fluid milk, were selling the
cream rather than making it into
butter. Representative Burdick, Re-

ton ceilings were responsible for q

spokesman admitted the butter sit
uation was very tight" The agency

facturers to hold 20 per cent Of their
production for military requirements.
The butter set aside last month was
80 per cent and in July. IS per cent.

1t was pointed out that the per-
centages had been decreased as milk
production begins its seasonal drop.

ceiving only one carload of butter
every three weeks, compared with
q car a week several months ago.
