Maybe few million hungry

and programmes to better under

Wickard Asks More Pork.
Meanwhile. Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wickard askes farmers to in
crease next springs pig crop 10 per
cent above this years record pro-
ductlon and feed it to a heavier
weight, but he offered civilians lit
tie hope for increased rations of
meat.
The l943 spring pig production
goal was set at 100000 head COM
pared with this years peak crop OF
62.000000, The Secretary said a
crop Of the size asked for and fed
to an average of 10 pounds heavier
than this year would make possible
the slaughter in l943 of pork
amounting to 13,4OO.OOO. 900 pounds
compared with 1000, 100000 this
year.
If the livestock farmers reach the
hog goal, he said. it may be possible
to make more pork available to
civilians, though the increase prob-
ably would be offset by reduced
supplies of beef and dairy products
Federal Policy Biamed.
The House Committee blamed
Government policy for many of the
farmers woes. After months OF
study. it submitted a formal report
to Congress and to the President
making specific recommendations
including:
Defer essential farm workers from
military duty
Either increase farm prices so that
farmers can compete in the labor
market or else bring industrial
wages 'to the same comparative
level of farm wages
Make immediate provision to sup
ply farmers with necessary farm
equipment, machinery and repair
parts
Survey manpower resources and
establish a priority system for allo-
cation of the available manpower
supply.
Establish minimum prices on
farm commodities and adjust CELL
lngs so as to encourage abundant
production. Very little rationing of
farm commodities will be necessary
II the producers are encouraged"
Rejecting on Government policy
the report said:
The farmers in every part OF
the Nation do not know how to
plan for l943 crops. Contracts must
be made, material must be secured
fertilizers must be bought, seed must
be ordered, months in advance.
Utter confusion exists today on
every farm, every ranch. every dairy
We appeal to the President and the
several administrative agencies tc
act and act now. so the farmers NAV
know whether to plan and how tc
plan."
