Greater Food OUTPUT
Asked in 1943 10 Meet
Increasing Demands
Agriculture Department
Sets Farm Production
Goals Above 1912 Record
By the Associated Press.

AS''''
Faced with increasing war
demands for food, the Agricul-
ture Department has drawn up
tentative production goals for
the 1943 crop season calling for
even greater acreages and out
put OF most farm products than
was requested under the record
1912 production program.
Officials said increases would be
asked for despite protests that farm
ers would have to get along with
less manpower, machinery, fertilizer
and other facilities. Needs of the
armed forces and the Allies, par
ticularly Russia, were said to be
much greater than had been ex-
pected few weeks ago.
AS hedge against the possibility
that farmers might be unable to
meet the 1943 goals, the department
is working on plans to reduce civil
liam consumption of a number of
essential foods. These plans would
be designed to make existing sup
plies last longer should next years
production fall short.
Seek Cut in Use Of Meat.
Preparatory to consumer rationing
to be inaugurated the first of the
year, the Government, acting on the
departments recommendations, has
asked civilians to limit meat con-
sumption to two and a half pounds
week Butter, cheese, cooking fats,
vegetable oils, eggs, poultry and
canned fruits and vegetables may be
placed in the same class with meat.
Only in the case of three crops
wheat, short staple cotton and COM
mercial vegetables - are tentative
goals below those set for 1912. Sup
plies of wheat and short rt-staple cot
ton are sufficiently large, officials
said, to permit lowered production.
AS for fresh vegetables, urban fam
lilies may be asked to grow more in
backyard gardens.
The department. also forecast to-
day that farmers would receive ap-
proximately 10000, ,000,0 from their
products in 1943. compared with $15,-
600 900 900 this year.
The 1943 estimate was based on
present price levels and the expec-
tation that livestock production
would be larger than this year and
the volume of crops would be less.
Net income in 1912" the depart
ment said, will be influenced to
some extent by whether farmers can
get supplies. Purchases of
nitrogen fertilizer will be reduced in
1943. Expenditures for labor day
may be limited somewhat by the
shortage of competent help"
The department also estimated
that non-agricultural income in 1943
