Farmers Ready To Do Their Part In Defense Program
Fred L. O Chescky, chairman of the New Mexico AAA committee, told district leaders in a New Mexico meeting that farmers are prepared to support the national defense effort. County agents and local officials from Chaves, Eddy, Lea, Dona Ana, Roosevelt, Lincoln and Otero counties backed the 1941 agricultural program, urged minor 1942 changes, and endorsed the lease lend policy. The group convened separate farm and range meetings and resolved that if cotton acreage reductions continue payments should rise to maintain parity.
