" for Chance to Wartime Production
Peocetime Assistance
Declared q Real Help
Agricultural Defense Relations
Director Says Formers are Ready

CHICAGO, April 30-(P)-M.
Clifford Townsend, director of
agricultural defense relations,
declared today experience gain
ed through government assist
ance in time of peace enabled
agriculture to enter the war pc
riod ready to make quick chang
es for enormous wartime produc-
ton.
In an address prepared for de-
livery TO the 30th annual meet
ing Of the Chamber of Commerce
Of the United States, Townsend
said many people have asked
why o n I i n u G d assistance to
farmers was needed now that
they were enjoying relatively
more pro perity.
SOUND INVESTMENT
IL want to say that | believe
this assistance has been a sound
investment from the standpoint
of national welfare in general" "
Townsend said, land is continu-
ing to be a good investment
day.
First, and | believe this to be
vitality important, the conserva-
ton achievements of farmers
have made it possible for them
to give full support to our ma
tional war effort. If we are to
meet the food production goals
which have been established at
record high levels for l942-and
if we are to meet requirements
for succeeding years-we shall
have to keep working for con-
SerVation.
Second, because farmers had
the means to hold crops off glut-
ted markets, they had larg e
stores of feed reserves built up
in their ever-normal granary,
and were able to begin immedi-
ately their job of converting feed
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1942-04-30

into pork, poultry, and other
food products.
READY FOR ACTION
"Thus, agriculture entered the
war period with its house in good
order, ready to make quick
changes for wartime produc-
ton"
Townsend reported that from
April, 194l, when farmers first
were asked to expand production
of certain foods, to the end of
February, 1912, the nation has
been able to deliver more than
100000 tons of food to Allied
representatives for shipment.
He said there was considerable
concern over the farm labor
situation, "but we cannot say in
so many words, that there is a
general shortage Of farm work
ers. The situation adds up about
to this: We can expect in 1912
a farm labor situation roughly
comparable to that of 1911
with shortages in certain areas,
and for harvesting certain crops"
Townsend described farmers
as ingenious folks who could
be depended upon to find ways
to overcome much Of the short
age, such as using labor pools,
more family workers, offering
better housing and more con-
tinuous employment, and utiliz-
ing labor not usually employed
on farms.
