each practice.
To produce the crops our nation has
called for in l945, farmers must do q
good planning job. In order that the
War Food Administration may know
what the farmers intend to do, and
farmer should contract the county AAA
office, and record his 1945 farm plans
on a war food plan sheet. Mr.. f.. X.
Trotman. County Administrative Officer
of Holmes county, stated today thai
cards are being sent to all farm opera
tors asking hat they come by the coun-
ty office when in town and bring rec
ords of production of such crops as
cotton, Irish potatoes, peanuts, corn,
hay, etc. So that the employees of the
county office can assist them in execut-
ing accurate farm plans.
Farm plans will show the use OF every
acre Of ~cropland on the farm including
the kind and acreage Of crops planted
in 1914 and the acreage intended for
l945. They will also show the kind and
number Of livestock on the farm Janu-
airy 1, 1945, the cows and heifers kept
for milking, cattle and sheep, beef cat
tie, hens and pullets kept for laying,
and sows kept to farrow this spring and
fall.
Farmers Of Holmes county, together
with other farmers Of the United States
did an amazing job in 1914. They sur
passed all previous records of farm pro-
duction on those crops essential in the
war effort. Although they had less la
Dor and less machinery, they produced
and harvested the largest volume Of
crops ever gathered from the farms OF
this county and set a new record in the
production and make,ing Of livestock
