PAGE FOUR THE NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1943 Washington, D. C„ Sept. 23—It may give the farmers o< Oregon and Washington a feeling of satls- f tlon to learn that crops they ■ nve raised are now being used to feed the people of the labors of the quartermaster's department In pioducin«, as if by magic, stores of foodstuffs for the civilian populat- 1 ti. This was first demonstrated In Xorth Africa, where American food was provided for the people as rap idly as territory was swept clear of the enemy. On the heels of the American tr oops In Sicily came steamers loaded with supplies—flour, milk, sugar, dehydrated vegetables and fruit and meats. Having fed the Sicilians, preparations were made for Italy., Nc sooner was the unconditional [ trrender of Italy announced than freighters began nosing into the docks and discharging cargoes of ford, which was distributed without delay. The food follows the soldiers. It is the American policy in this wnr to look after the welfare of the civilians as promptly as possible, | for a full stomach wins appreciat ion. What is taking place in Tunesla, Sicily and Italy Is only the beginn ing. The same open-handed gener osity will be displayed in other co untries as they are rescued from beneath the heels of the hordes of Herr Hitler. This sums up that the farmers of the United States will be feeding millions of people aboard for the next few years, or until crops can be grown and harvested there. It Ls part of the plan announced by President Roosevelt and supple mented by Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wlckard that food will be the trump card at the peace table. Into the picture has moved ex- Governor Lehman of New York, who has been appointed to admin ister the relief to be given Europe by Uncle Sam. The task of feeding the civilians will be taken over by Lehman and he is now building up an extensive organization to handle every dollar you can— and buy an extra $100 worth the Joz.

There have been calls for men, women and children to save the when he needs all the help you can give him. crops, and they have gone into the fields to pick beans, beets and ot Today’s particular job for you is to scrape together her vegetables as well as fruit. Mo st of these crops have been saved from rotting on the ground, but after they have been harvested an other situation has arisen. Canneries are appealing for help and not receiving as much assist- tance as ls needed. Crops have been $15,000,000,000 lost by the ton at northwest cann non-banking quota eries for the lack of manpower. The reason is this: The person picking beans is an agricultural la borer and such labor Ls exempt fr om social security tax or income tax. Whnt is paid for gathering the fruit or vegetables is clear money. If the picker follows the crop to the cannery he is immediately so aked a number of taxes, such as withholding tax, Income tax, hosp italization (to which the workers do not object as there are always accidents In canneries) and there is the payroll tax, for canneries must contribute to the fund for unemp loyment benefits. Therefore it is more profitable for a writer to gat her crops than to assist in process ing them Canneries must operate under a celling, must pay a specif ied sum per hour and take the risk of spilage.
