By the Associated Press.

:
The man behind the plow is pro.
ducing more food and feed than ever
before in the country's history. but
Americans will have to tighten Their
belts because of the great demands
by the armed forces and the United
Nations.
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
sounded the warning despite the
Crop Reporting Boards estimate
yesterday that American farm pro-
duction in the aggregate would be
the greatest on record this year.
The board estimated 1912 produc-
ation would be Is per cent higher than
the former peak of 1887 and 27 per
cent above the 10-year average from
l923-32, with new records set in
grains and an oilseed crop A per
cent better than in any past year.
Even So" said Secretary Wickard
'the demands on American food and
nber are so great that we will not
nave enough to give every one all
the food he or she wants.
Large Vegetable Oil Crop.
1T now behooves us to conserve
this amount carefully in view of the
great needs and demands upon us
by our soldiers and Allies all over
the world.
These demands are tremendous
so tremendous that even the pro-
ductivity of the American farmers
cannot meet all of them"
He said also agriculture would face
production difficulties with labor
getting scarcer and curtailed pro-
ductlon OF farm machinery, insecti-
cldes and fertilizers which require
materials needed for the war ma
chine-metals, mineral oils and
nitrate.
Secretary Wickard added. how
ever, that American farmers were
winning the battle of production
over the Axis and pointed particu-
larly to the large vegetable oil crop
I'VE lost a billion pounds of fats
and oils twhen the Japs con-
quered the Far East for that was
the amount ordinarily imported" he
said. The producers of soybeans,
fiaxseed, cottonseed and peanuts
have more than made up this loss
this year"
Livestock Production Rising.
The Crop Reporting Board esti-
mated the oil crops should total
100000 tons, including 6,252,OOO
Of cottonseed, 6,3440 900 of soybeans,
1,465, 900 of peanuts and l,190, 900 of
faxseed.

600 bushels of wheat, 1853 900 900
bushels of oats, $4,000 900 bushels
of barley and 145 100000 bushels of
grain sorghum.
There seems every reason to ex-
pect the production of livestock and
livestock products to continue higher
than IN past years until new crop
and pasture season develops" the
board said.
With average weather, the board
said final surveys should show rec
ord production of grain, hay, OIL
seeds, beans, peas, sugar crops, fruits

and about average crops of pota-
toes, sweet potatoes and tobacco.
