DELhWARE'S
FARM FRONT
THIS WEEK
DELAWARE FARM FRONT

DELAWARE FARM FRONT :. ..
In fulfilling their special job of
producing a large part of the can
ming tomatoes required by the
fighting forces and civilian popu-
lations of the United Nations, Del
aware farmers will be aided by a
good crop of tomato plants from
the southern producing sttaes. To-
matoes for canning are a Della
ware war crop"
Delaware farmers received part
of the initial shipments totaling
00,00O,000 plants. Last year this
state harvested 7,100 acres of to-
matOes.
Black Market
''If every farmer will keep rec
Ords covering all sales of live
stock and will make certain that
the man who buys his cattle, veal
ers, sheep or hogs has a slaughter
ing permit or license. he will make
it possible for every fighter and
civilian worker to receive his or
her share of the available meat
supply" c. E. Ocheltree, chairman
of the Delaware United States De-
partment of Agriculture war Board,
announced today.
Farm Machinery
When the Delaware Agricultural
Adjustment Agency launched
campaign to place every farm ma
chine in the state in total war"
production of war foods, the pre-
liminary survey of idle machines
disclosed many on hand and not
needed.
AAA Program
Delaware farmers cooperating
under the 1943 Agricultural Ad-
justment Agency program have as
their objective the maximum and
balanced production of war foods
and the conservation of the states
soil resources. C. E. Ocheltree.
chairman of the Delaware Agricul-
tural Adjustment Agency, declared
today.
They. together with 100000
other American farmers, have de-
signed their AAA war production
program and Farm Plans to main
tain prices at a level both fair to
the consumer and profitable to the
producer, to prevent the depletion
of the nations soil fertility to bal
ance the livestock population with
the feed supply, to increase the
yield of every crop acre. to i'm
prove the nations pasture land.
to conserve and rebuild the forest
resources. and to make it possible
for farmers to produce critical
war crops instead Of luxury foods.
This year corn and wheat may
be planted in excess of the FARMS
allotment without deductions from
AAA benefit payments il the far
mer plants 80 per cent of his war
crop goal.
Payments of $50 per acre will
be paid for vegetables for the
fresh market and of so cents per
bushel for Irish potatoes on the
normal yield of the grower and
for that part of the farms acreage
between 30 and 10 per cent of its
war goal. Where three acres are
planted the potato payment will
be on the normal yield of one
acre.
Support prices have been pro-
vided for soy beans, Irish and
sweet potatoes and canning crops.
