for preliminary work next year. In
1912 The Pirate batteries spent five
weeks conditioning in the city sta
dium before joining the remainder
of the team in San Bernardino.
In his wire to Hatton BenSwan-

it inadvisable for the Pirates to
come here.
Only week or SO previous
BenSwanger made an unpublicized
trip to FL Centre to inspect condi-
tions and make final arrangements
for his team here.
"BensWanger had no intention of

son he was so disturbed by the
story given out this summer that
the Pirates would train here.
The National League club prexy
had declared that reports circu-
lated in September that his team
would train here were 'prsma-

Wickard Calls for
Increased Output
OF Farm Products
Agricultural Families
Called Upon for Dawn
20 Dark Production

WASHi4(GTON, Nov. 80.
(UP)-Sccretary of Agricul-
ture Claude K. Wickard,
warning of more food ration
ing ahead, appealed today to
farmers for a "daWn to dark" effort
to increase food production in 1943
to help feed the United Nations.
He asked for a 10 per cent in
crease in livestock products with
out reducing total crop acreage and
pledged government aid to farmers
through all the means available
to meet the record goals.
The 1943 farm production goals
call for more meat and milk-"all
we can produce, more poultry
and eggs, more vegetables high in
food value, more corn and less
wheat, more peanuts, more potatoes,
dry beans and peas, more long
staple and less short-Staplo cotton
Production up to the goalS-call-
ing for the fourth successive year
of record farm production - still
would fall short of meeting food
needs of the United Nations Wick
ard said. Man foods will have to
be rationed.
HARD WORK AHEAD
Because of labor SHORTAGES ard
fewer machines. farm families will
have to work from dawn until dusk
if they are to meet their goals, "
oy.J in in
service can do no less"
AT least one-fourth of all l9i3
food production will be needed for
the military forces and lend-leasc
he said. That would be double the
1912 requirements. There will be
less food in 1943 for civilian con-
sumption.
Although Wickard called for the
greatest effort in history to in
crease food production. he acknoWl-
edged that it would be virtually i'm
possible to equal the record 1912
crops. He pointed cut that 1912
was blessed with the most favorable
crop weather in hi5tory-a factor
that cannot be counted on in 1943
The shortage of manpower also will
affect total production more next
year-a factor that was not felt
until the harvesting season this
year.
PRODUCTION LESS
In l943 yields per acre arc about
the same as the 1874 average
total crop production will be about
ID Dpr ppnt 1910
The goals, compared with 1912
production, call for 27 per cent
more pork, 36 per cent more lard.

"A farmer doesn't buy machinery,

100 Der cent in equipment.
We should have more than dOu-
bic the repairs we have now.
Some man sitting IL a soft chair

Then, addressing his remarks to
Senator Sheridan DoWney, Sinclair
said: rs this just talkfest or is it
going to accomplish something's
Earlier, DoWney had told tho
committee that 100000 Mexican
workers must be imported tC save
California agriculture from ruin.

warned. Many farmers are not
