Urgent Necessity for
More Food Crops to
Be Told Growers; Several
Speakers Planned
for Brief Talks at the
Court House

Vance
farmers to meet
here at 1:30 o'clock
Monday afternoon
in the court house
to hear brief talks
on the food
situation by
various speakers.
It is expected that
50 to 75 farmers
will attend the
meeting, which is
being arranged by
the county AAA
committee.
Speakers will include
W. A. Anderson,
chairman of the
AAA committee;
Tom Story,
chairman of the
war savings committee;
and others.
The meeting is part of a
state-wide program
of farm mobilization
rallies.
For announcement Friday.
Emphasis will be placed upon the
importance of increasing peanuts and
soy beans in greatest quantities in
the history of the county. These crops
would furnish both food and oil for
the war effort.
Plans are that the program shall
be completed at the court house in time
for the broadcast by President
Roosevelt and others which will follow
later in the same afternoon.
Speakers will give as accurate a
picture as possible of the seriousness
of the war situation, stressing
the fact that despite turning of the
tide the war is by no means won, and
emphasizing the very real possibility
of a food shortage and the
necessity of producing as large food
crops as possible.
Extension workers and leaders in
farm activities, as well as a few others,
attended the meeting Wednesday night,
and all farmers in the
county are invited to attend the
rally.
