The 22.789 Texas farm families
cooperating with the Farm Secuiitv
Administration program increased
production of meat, milk and eggs
in 1943 over 1942 enough to feed an
additional 100.000 flght:ng men.
Thi. information is included in fi-
gures on 1943 production by FSA
farmers released for the first time
this week by Edna A Sain, FSA
Supervisor In Brooks and Duval
counties.
Texas FSA famil es sent to the
markets 52 percent more meat In
1943 than in the previous year, as
compared with the national in-
crease by all FSA families of 49 per-
cent. These same Texas farmers
increased milk production by 21
percent compared with a national
figure of 18 percent and eggs 41
percent compared with a national
FSA av< rage of 32 percent.
Miss Sain attr buted these big in-
creases to four things: better farm
management practices, increased
live tock numbres, increased food
production, and farm enlargement.
"All of these factors were aided
by manage:ial counsel and finan-
cial assistance provided to opera-
• tors of family-type farms through
, Farm Security, an agency of the
United States Department of Ag-
| riculture”, Miss Sain : aid.
| Mis. Sain quoted FSA Adminis-
trator Frank C. Hancock as dcclar-
j ing that the high iiercentage in-
creases in war food production by
FSA families, particularly their ex-
: paneled production for commercial
markets, are of great value not on-
lv to the nation, but also to the
| famil es themselves.
"Production by these farmers i
all the more remaikable when it is
! remembered that prior to the com
ing of the FSA program thousands
1 of them were not even producing
! enough food for their own family
needs.” Miss Sain pointed out.
The Texas figures are part of the
survey taken of the 311,880 FSA
; familie., n the nation, represent-
: ing 5.1 percent of a’l U. S. farmer;,

Purehase Of Meat
From Farm Explained
Permission to purchase rationed
meat directly from farmers thru
the pre-use of ration stamps will be ,
continued, accord ng to informa-
tion from the Office of Price Ad-
ministration. This means that
> stamps in War Ration Book Four
may be used for this purpose ahead
of the time they are good for buy-
ng rationed meat at retail stores.
As War Ration Book Four con-
tains meat stamps equivalent to a
year’s ration, the number wh ch
may be used for purchases from
farmers has been limited to the 18
stamps following those valid for
purchases in stoic.
The OPA emphasizes that the ad-
vance use of meat stamps for farm
purcha es does not mean that the
A MAN O' WAR
HE wears no military uniform.
He carries no gun. But this elec-
tric lineman is a man of war. As
guardian of the power lines, he
keeps vitally needed electricity
speeding to military establish-
ments, war industries,
homes and businesses.
This CPL lineman, as
well as h‘~ fellow service-
men, power plant workers
and others are all power
soldiers. With 237 of their
CPL buddies already in
military service, these homefront
soldiers are using every ounce of
their experience and skill, day
and night, to maintain the flow
of electricity — the lifeblood of
war industry.
Years of experience and
training have given these
men the “know-how” to
keep the current flowing
through war and through
peace. They are men of
war on the HOMEfront!
You can depend on them.
