Pacific cut off our importS-nor-
mally about one-and- three quarter
billion pounds year Acreage goals
on oil crops were upped sharply.
And the department is proudest of
the fact that soybean production
this year was double last and the
lost imports largely made up.
Demand for Oils Grows.
But restoration of lost imports
was not enough. Demand in
creased. Vegetable oils make gly-
cerine for explosives. And Great
Britain, also cut off from the South
Pacific, had no way of making up
the loss.
There is no room in the British
Isles to sew oil producing crops.
The British draw from our stocks.
And there was the necessity of a
butter substitute coming along.
The Nation today cannot make mar
garine to replace butter going to
the armed forces for lack of
enough edible vegetable oils.
County committees set the acreage
goals for the oil crops as a require
ment for qualifying for production
practice payments. In some sections
the seed available was exhausted and
peanuts had to be withdrawn from
stocks at the crushers and fax from
elevators in Minneapolis to meet the
demand.

Anticipating an even greater de-

County committees all over the
country are asking Washington
what this means. 1t means. it was
explained today. that wheat farm
ers can plant fax; corn formers
Soybeans and cotton farmers pea
nuts, acre for acre, and get the 90
cents a bushel for wheat and the
3.6 cents a bushel for corn and
the IL cent a pound for cotton to
the extent of each acres normal
yield of the wheat, corn or cotton
that was not grown. But the de-
partment seems to be reluctant to
come right out and say that.
The Secretary has designated as
war crops Soybeans, peanuts, fax,
Irish potatoes, American Egyptian
cotton tlong Staple), hemp, toma-
toes, peas, dry edible beans, dry
peas and vetch for seed in WASH
ington, Oregon, Idaho and Califor-
MIA.
Incentive Held Needed.
Many in the department think
there should be more incentive for
the farmer TO grow the things
needed The same reward as for
adjusting his production of the cot
ton and grain crops is not enough.
The wheat farmer knows that he
is taking even greater chance than
on wheat when he sows fax. The
corn belt farmer has found it diff
cult to harvest soybeans. They
tangle up his combine. The cotton
farmer needs special threshers for
peanuts and he may lose his labor
ers, who would rather pick cotton.
They want to see direct subsidies
for milk production. meat produc-
ton and the cultivation of nutritious
vegetables. But the food war prob
ably will be fought with the tactics

price ceilings announced by the
OPA.
While the bakers economies are
expected to prevent an increase in
the price of bread, an OPA spokes-
man said his agency was studying
cake and other pastries to deter
mine whether somewhat higher
prices might be necessary for such
items.
Find Prices Higher.
Housewives who buy flour for
their own baking or cooking will
hnd somewhat higher retail prices
on the product. officials said the
increase on retail -four will be be-
tween 40 and IS cents a 1866 pound
barrel, depending on location and
type or flour.
The actual prices set for millers
snd blenders of flour from wheat,
semolina and farine will make up a
lengthy tabulation which will be
made public before the new prices
go into effect January 4. However,
the agency said these prices will
average 10 per cent more than pres
ent ceilings.
OPA estimated that the new
prices would reflect SO per cent of
parity to farmers on all types of
wheat except soft red winter wheat.
on which the percentage would be
IS per cent. However, the agency
commented:
The wheat prices reflected bv
the flour ceilings, together with
conservation and parity payments,
averaging approximately 23.4 cents
per bushel-or more than II per
cent Of parity-reflect at least 100
per cent of parity to the producer,
as well as a price as high or higher
than the top prices received by
producers during the period from
January to September Is, 1912.
Thus prices set by the new flour
regulation are consistent with ex-
ecutive order No. 1850 providing
for the stabilization of the national
economy and section 3 of the Sec
ond Price Control Act"
Farm bloc members of Congress
have opposed this method of COM
putting parity, however.
OPA said there were many rea-
sons for the increase in -four prices
including higher wheat prices, alb
normal price situations in the Sep
tember 28-October 2 period which
guided former -four prices and va
rious technical situations in the
milling industry.

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-An official of
the National Retail Furniture Asso-
citation last night described as com
pletely battling" the request of the
Once OF Defense Transportation
that other Government agencies not
send speakers or representatives to
the Chicago January furniture
show.
Roscoe r. Rau. executive vice
president and secretary of the asso-
citation, said the Chicago show would
60 ahead as scheduled despite the
request of ODT director Joseph B.
Eastman for its cancellation on
grounds it would interfere with the
war effort by stimulating travel.
Said Rau:
1T is one thing for Mr.. Eastman
to take punitive steps against the
holding of furniture exhibitions and
quite another for him to attempt to
cancel out the only opportunity given
several hundred dealers to inform
themselves on such crucial matters
as WPB inventory control, as an
nounced just this week: The
whole question of civilian supply for
l943; and conferences with
Government representatives on the
servicing of appliances in millions
OF homes, including those same
radios to which governmental agen-
cies look for full dissemination of
news concerning their depart
ments. y.
Our retailers have arranged to
come to Chicago TO participate in
legitimate and urgent conferences
which we hold are as important to
Washington authorities as they are
to us. We assume that the right
OF free assembly still prevails. If
Mr.. Eastman desires to be wholly
consistent, he will cancel his own
engagement to come to Chicago for
an appearance before the Associa-
