Record War Crop Production
Reported on Irrigated Land

Farmers on reclamation projects
in Is western states T beginning
to harvest war crops that will top
the record set in 1913 when pro-
duction on irrigated project lands
showed a 143 percent increase in
values as compared with that Of
the season before Pearl Harbor,.
Commissioners Harry w. Bashore
Of the bureau of reclamation said
today.
Part of this tremendous boom in
crop returns, Commissioner Bashore
said sis due to the 68.5 per cent in
crease in market pricess received
for these commodities during the
years l94l-1943, but the farmers in
spite Of many difficulties, have near
ly doubled their actual production.
The security afforded by adequate
irrigation water for crops regardless
Of weather conditions. makes these
record crops possible. In turn, such
security makes for better rural
homes and communities, where our
supplies of new agricultural wealth
are produced"
In his report to Secretary of the
Interior Harold L. Ickes, Commits
sioner Bashore pointed out that
the grand total of cultivated acre
age on lands served by the bureau
of reclamation has risen from
1880, 460 acres in 1941 to 4.0l4.346
acres in 1943 with crop values sky
rocketlng from $3.50, 1856 1913 to
1888, $40 1863 during this period.
The 1914 outlook for water sup
plies in nearly all areas is ample"
Commissioner Bashore said, (which
means that prime foods to help win
the war will again be produced in
states benefiting from the federal
reclamation irrigation program
On more than 10000 western
bureau of reclamation fac 'lities,
rural war workers made agricultural
history last year, filling the nations
bins with a grand total of los ,575,-
697 bushels of essential food, the
Commissioner said.
A l941 and l943 comparison OF
two vital war crops--potatoes ond
beans--shows the great contribution
made by farmers on irrigated lands,
he added. Last year they harvest
ed 64.044, 814 bushels of potatoes
in 1941. the crop was 40.038 800 bu-
shells. The pre-Pearl Harbor harvest
of beans brought in 2,837,258 bu-
shells. while the 1913 crop rose to
ATS, 1877 bushels.

IL Types Of Farm Implements
Are Taken from Ration List

Farm implement rationing has be-
en- reduced one third, the WA an
nounces. The new list of rationed
farm implements includes 10 types,
as compared with 81 types rationed
during the year ending July l. In
addition, eight types of ~non-ration-
ed implements are being released
FROM distributive regulations.
Farm machinery production Is
now at an annual level approXimat-
ing that of 1910, a better than aver
age year. This level is expected to
be maintained throughout the twel-
ve-month period beginning July l
this year.
Most of the important shifts in
crop acreage and expansion in war
crop production have now AIKEN
place. war food officials believe. AS
the additional machinery require
ments become known and are met,
less necessity exists for directing
equipment into specific areas.
The nineteen types of ratloned
farm machinery are divided into
two groups or schedules. Schedule l
lists nine types of important imple-
ments which are rationed in accord
ance with state and county quotas.
These are combines, corn binders,
W side delivery rakes, hay
leaders, pickup hay balers and
tractors The production of many OF
these implements exceeds pre-war
rates but demands, due to increased
acreageS of war crops and to farm
labor losses still exceed the supply.
Production is limited by military
needs for engines, bearings and
other componentS.
Schedule 2 lists ten types of e.
qulpment for which county distri-
button cannot be readily established
and therefore rationing is not sub
ject to county quotas. There are
grain drills. potato planters. pot
alto diggers silo filters, irrigation
pumps. power sprayers. garden
tractors. deep and shallow-well
water systems, power pumps and
farm milk coolers.

BUT the price of electricity has come down like this!

NOBODY needs to tell you that the cost of liv-
ing has been soaring toward high c.
But maybe you do need a reminder that
the cost of electricity has been sliding dotCn.
If yours is an average household, you're
getting about tUice as much electricity for
your money today as you did Is years ago.
And 1914 government figures show that the
average price has continued to ease off a
little euen since ruar began. That fact
ought to be music to your ears!
Getting prices down and keeping them
down is one of the electric industry's greatest
achievements.
1t took a lot of planning, perspiration
and practical business management to do
this job in maritime. All our people helped.
