Farmers Asked For Record
Food Production For 1912

Washington.-Secretary of Ag-
riculture Wickard announced this
week a 1912 farm program cal
ling for ''the largest production
in the history of American agri-
culture" to meet the expanding
food needs of this country and
nations resisting the Axis.
Production goals set up under
the program call for the largest
output in history of such vitamin
andminerakrich products as eggs
pork, evaporated milk, dry skim
milk, cheese, poultry, vegetables
and such edible-oil producing
crops as peanuts and soybeans.
Surplus Crops Controlled
Although providing for bigger
crops in many products, the 1912
program continues rigid produc-
ton and marketing controls for
commodities of which there are
large reserves, namely cotton,
wheat and tobacco.
The sharply-expanded food pro-
duction program is based, Wick
ard said, on a Thorough canvass
of the needs for improved nutri-
ton in this country and the needs
of the nations that still stand be-
tween this country and Hitler"
Prospects point, the secretary
said, to a new boom in agricul-
tural exports, particularly of such
commodities as dairy and poul-
try products, pork. lard, fats and
professed fruits and vegetables.
Britain alone, he said, is expect
ed to need from six to eight per
cent of total American farm pro-
duction. Other exports are expect
ed to require an additional two
per cent.
This volume of exports would
be double those Of the current
year.
Some idea as to the scope Of
the new program may be obtained
by comparing the 1912 production
goals Of major food commodities
with the estimated 1s41 produc-
ton and the average for the past
five years. Milk production would
be stepped up from a five-year
average of LOG, $40, 900, 900 pounds
and the 1871 output Of 116,809,-
O00, 900 to $4,000, 600, 900 pounds.
Big Hog, Egg Increases
Hogs slaughtered would be in
creased from 100000 head this
year to 79,3OO,0O0. The five-year
average was 63,169,OO0 Egg pro-
duction would be raised from s.
400,000,0O0 dozen for the five
year average and 3,676.000,00C
this year to 4,0O0,000,0O0 next
year.
