the drive for this class of ma-

this much needed material will
be supplied. Mrs. Naylor says
it looks like Shelby county

Those who work on defense
jobs are required to give one
day’s check. Beside that
many also give in their respec-

Wilda has never failed in
her Red Cross drive. Imagine
you are in the desert or jungle
land far from home and loved
ones, then give as your con-
science dictates. None of us
are so poor but what one can
give something. From mes
sages on the front the boys
there speak in highest praise
of the good that is done
through the Red Cross.

Diversification in
Farming Encouraged
A pleas that small farmers
not abandon diversified farm-
ing in favor of the old. dan-
gerous, one-crop system was
voiced here this week by Dur-
ward A. Gunn, County Super-
visor for the Farm Security
Administration.
"Some farmers are being
tempted by especially high
prices for certain crops and
livestock items to specialise
in those products at the ex-
pense of their other farming
enterprises,” Mr. Gunn point-
ed out. “Diversified farming,
which means a well-rounded
program of many small farm-
ing enterprises, is the only safe
way for little farmers to fol-
low,” the FSA Supervisor em-
phasized.
FSA since its inception has
advocated diversification. It
charges the one-crop system
with responsibility for many
of the ills of southern agricul-
ture in depression and pre-de-
pression year?. FSA families,
according to Mr. Gunn, are
shown the advantage of hav-
ing many, rather than one, en-
terprise. Cows, poultry, hogs,
feed, cash crops and vege-
tables gardens are part of ev-
ery FSA family’s inventory-
"The only way the 3mall
farmer, the family-type farm-
er who is the true backbone of
our democracy, will survive
and make a contribution to
the nation’s food need* is
through diversification,” the
supervisor said. "Let the big
industrialized farm do the
specializing. By diversifying
the little fanner has protec-
tion should one or two of his
crops fail in a certain year.
rifled target might be the «aj
way ahd the logical last re-
course in the attempt to get
the Nazi fighter sqeadrocs in-
to the air.
The taftwaffe is not yet tick-
ed, but Allied air leaden have
got its number if they hare not
yet got it down, the informant
said.
Spaatz, commander of U. S.
strategic air forces over Eu-
rope, was represented as pre-
pared to adopt extreme meas-
ures soon in an effort to draw
the German fighters aloft so
the Americans can get at
them and carry through an in-
tensifying campaign of elimi-
nation before the invasion of
western Europe.
The Germans still have con-
siderable fighter strength, the
official source warned, and
the first clear day on which
American bombers strike deep
into the Reich they are likely
to run into heavy battles.
But the source believed that
the air war would be decisive
if the weather over the contin-
ent could be eliminated as a
factor for 30 to 60 days. Al-
ready the German air force is
backed, up behind the Bruns-
wick-Leipzig line, in front of
which the American bombers
operate with virtual impunity,
he said.
