Farm Security Administration Appeals
To Land Owners of Freestone County
LOUIS W. LEE, Rural Supervisor
The frist cotton blooms we have
keen this season were grown by a
darkey named Dailey, on W. P. John-
Lon's farm near Young.
Prof. Furney Richardson, who was
{employed as principal of the Fait-
Jfield school, tendered his resignation
■recently and the school board has
(employed Prof. D. F. Pierce as prin-
cipal. Prof. Pierce has been teaching
at Teague and is highly recom-
|mended by the patrons of the Teague
chools.
Mrs. Harriett Thomasson, aged 94
years, who had been in failing health

The United States Department li
Agriculture, working through the
Farm Security Administration to
assist farm families who cannot
secure adequate financing through
regular lending agencies, who need
help in planning their farming oper-
ations, is calling upon land owners
who rent land to tenants to cooperate
with us.
We shall not ask anything of you
which is unreasonable and we believe
that if you will take the time to read
one of our proposed rental contracts
and permit us to explain just how we
operate y;u will find nothing objec-
ionable in the lease contract.
In most cases when the Farm
Security Administration makes a
loan to a tenant family their assets
are of little value, either in dollars
or for use in farming and, for that
reason it is necessary to make them
a loan which will require from thiee
to five years to repay. The Govern-
feels, and we think you will agree,
that if such a loan is to be made with
any degree of certainity that it can
be repaid, we should have reasonable
assurance that the borrow can re-
main on thi& farm for a sufficient
length of time to enable the family
to carry out a sound farm program
which will indicate that they can live
decently and pay back their loan to
the Government.
With that in view, we feel that
the borrower should be given a
rental contract for at deast a num-
, , , . ber of years which will be required

Navy Cruisers are built In two
I classes, light and heavy, the latter
displacing about 10,000 tons. Our
l navy has about an equal number
of light and heavy Cruisers, the
10,000 ton Cruiser costing approxi-
mately $20,000,000. Many Cruisers
are under construction and many
more are needed. »
believe that, if you were making the
loan, you would feel the same way
about it. The lease we are using is
flexible so that it can be made to fit
most any sitituation and is intended
to be just as fair and beneficial to
the tenant. It provides that the
tenant shall work the farm properly
and, as you know, failure on his part
to do so would breach the contract
and it could be terminated by you. It
also provides that, in case of the
death of either party, the lease may
be terminated by the other party at
the end of the crop year.
We are not only trying to rebuild
these farm families financially but
we are giving them the opportunity

Previous to the war practically all
the menthol used in this country
(about 500,000 pounds annually) was
imported from Japan. With the
attack on Pearl Harbor the price
umped $3 and $4 a pound to |14 a
mund. As a result two chemiata »et
o work to produce a synthetic men-
hol. They were succaasful, and hav-,
t ia believed, broken Japanese
nonopoly on the artiele for all time.
According to the U. 8. Census Bn-
eaa ip 1940 over 40 par cent of

C. M. REED, Co. Agent
Mrs. E. B. Ham and Eustace Tom-
me, Community Victory Leaders in
the Teague territory, called a meet-
ing of the neighborhood leaders on
the Munger Oil Mill lawn Monday
evening at 6:30. Each neighborhood
leader was requested to invite ut
least one other family from his ter-
ritory. 4-H Club boys and F. F. A.
boys were also invited. Each
family and each 4- H Club boy and
F. F. A. boy brought a picnic lunch
which was spread on the lawn pre-
vious to the business meeting. Th»re
were 70 present.
Mayor Erwin of Teague gave tho
welcome address. K. D. Willingham,
former vocational teacher at Teague
High School and present County
Agent at Austin,’ was the guest
speaker. Mr. Willingham discussed
the national conditions as he sees
them and emphasized the responsi-
bilities of every man, woman and
child with respect to the victory re-
quirements. He discussed the work
of the Victory Council in his county
and gave the results that were being
obtained.
Following Mr. Willingham the
neighborhood Victory Leaders gave
a report of the work being done in
their respective territories. From all
accounts, the bulk of rubber has
been turned in, but a special effort
will be made to make a final clean-
up before June 30th. Following this
campaign, scrap iron will be moved
from the neighborhoods. All scrap
iron will be congregated at communi-
ty centers where it will be picked up
by a truck. The leaders were inform-
ed that Frank Utsey . of Teague
would come to the neighborhood
centers for this material, for which
he would pay 40c per hundred
pounds.
The labor situation was discussed
next. It was decided that it was the
weather conditions that hindered the
farmer in their field work rather
than a labor shortage. The group
voted not to mobilize farm labor at
this time.
Those in attendance enjoyed the
social features of this meeting so
well that it was decided that more
such meetings should be had in the
future.
