which will increase production this
year and in 1945. The need is to
keep cover on the land, prevent
immediate danger of erosion and ap-
ply vitalizing material to the soil in
such forms as lime, superphosphate,
Stag and other fertilizers, green
manure turn under" and legume
planting. These are all calculated
to aid in increasing yields as well
as in preserving the productivity Of
the soil.
Conservation problems vary with
the different regions, depending upon
topography, soil, climate and con-
servation needs of each state. Four
points must be considered, says
VIA, in determining the necessity
for any specific practices. They are:
l. Will it contribute to increased
production?
2. Will its returns be immediate
and substantial?
3. Is it easily understood, and is
its performance practical for the
farmer?
4. Can it be easily and effective
ly administered?
For example, the use of more fer
tilizer is recognized as a major
method of increasing food produc-
ton on the proposed acreage of crop
land, without increasing labor and
farm machinery requirements. The
use of fertilizer is estimated as prob
ably accounting for a minimum 20
to Is per cent of total food produc-
ton in 1914, if supplies are avail
able as anticipated.
Assistance Available.
Government aids to assist farmers
are available for the most part
through the County Farmer Commit
teemen of the Agricultural Adjust
ment agency and the County War
boards. These include help in pro-
curing essential machinery and sup
plies, labor, information on market
ing and transportation, necessary
credit, and technical assistance of
various kinds. Certain types of
loans are expected to be available
which will aid food producers.
Overall objective of the 1914 farm
program. with its record-breaking
goals on acreage and production, is
to supply the largest amounts pos
sible for food, feed and fiber for war
without destroying future productive
ity.
Emphasis will be on production of
crops with high food value for direct
human consumption. War demands
call for the right amounts of food,
the right kinds of food, and food in
the right places at the right time.
That is why producers are plan
ming to grow the things that will
stretch the food supply to the ut
most.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1944-01-21

to dairy producers. The feed stu
alton is expected to become tighter
as locally grown crops are used up
in areas where supplies are short.
Livestock feed will be one of the
chief problems in the northeastern
dairy states and in the southern
states where dairy farming is a
comparatively new enterprise. 1t
will enter into calculations every
where, however, and in some areas
maintenance of milk supplies may
necessitate cutting in on other crops
in order to provide sufficient feed.
The estimated feed-grain produc-
ton for 1913 was 116 million tons,
per cent less than the record out
put of 1912, but 16 per cent higher
than the preceding five-year aver
age. While supplies of both wheat
and rye available for livestock feed
ing and by-product feeds may be
larger in the coming months, the
number of grain-consuming animal
units currently on farms is much
above normal and considerably larg-
er than year ago.
Cattle-feeding operations are ex-
pected to be on smaller scale than
last season as to the number of cattle
on feed, with shorter feeding periods
also indicated.
Double Cropping Emphas sized.
Another problem of national scope
is the continued need for double
cropping to make possible the plant
ing of some is million more acres
to crops than there is good growing
land to be planted. In 1943 farmers
put 800, 457 900 acres in crops on an
actual acreage of some $40 million
acres. This was accomplished by
the planting of two or more success
sive crops on given piece of land
which otherwise would have lain idle
after single harvest for the year.
1t is expected that inroads will
have to be made in 1914 on summer
falloW land, and that much idle land
of low productivity may have to be
brought into use if it does not seem
feasible to continue double-cropping
on certain farms or to increase suf-
ticient of the permanent crop acre
age to take care of the planting
goals. Pressure for cropland is 60
ing to be heavy everywhere, says
VIA, but especially in the West.
Machinery problems are not ex-
pected to be as severe in 1914 as
last year, although machinery for
harvest will still be less in quantity
than would be desirable. Some
planting equipment will be at pre-
MUM, also. Relaxation of specified
restrictions by the War Production
board, and continued efficient appli-
cation of the time-honored sharing
of equipment always part of neigh
borly farming, will help alleviate
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1944-01-21

those shortages that must be over.
come.
Labor, while it will be scarce
again in 1914, is not expected to pre-.
sent any unusual problems except
in specific areas. The main difficult
ty will probably be to get the work
ers where they are needed when
they are needed. AS in 1913, farm
ers will have to rely in the peak
harvesting periods on voluntary help
from the urban centers.
Assembling and marketing OF
crops, especially in the South, will
need some attention to make the best
possible use of the abundant har-
vests to be sought during the year.
Marketing problems may be expect
ed to remain largely local in char
acter, and their solutions also local.
Conservation practices will re-
ceive further emphasis in 1914, with
attention focused on those practices

Farmers Get Set to Achieve Still HIGHER
Food Production as 1914 Planting Begins

chickens and turkeys raised, togeth-

stock slaughter to reduce the num-
Der of meat animals on farms from
the record high reached in 1913. Such
volume of slaughter would bring
an increase in total meat production
this year of 8 to 10 per cent, and
to 6 per cent increase over the
all-time high reached in 1913 for the
combined output of poultry, dairy
and meat products.

VIA Calls for a go
Increase Over l943's
Food Crop Acreage

Farmers all over America are
busy with preparations for their
1914 production battle. They
have set a goal of 100000, 900
planted acres, from which-in-
Guiding meat, poultry and eggs
they expect to produce 4 to 6
per cent more than the 1913 food
record and enough vegetable
oils and fibers to meet essential
war needs.
That is an ambitious program, but
the War Food administration points
out that Americas farmers have
reason for their confident outlook.
They've just closed the seventh sue
cessive year in which their intention
to produce more food than the year
before was fulfilled Food produc-
ton, at the beginning of 1914, has
reached a point 80 per cent higher
than before Pearl Harbor and per
cent more than the 1912 record,
which many believed could not be
duplicated.
Averages on most food crops will
be increased in 1914, according to
planting goals set at fall meetings
of farm leaders in the agricultural
areas. National needs for farm
products, previously determined by
the War Food administration, were
presented at these sessions. Upon
the basis of these needs, the goals
were set.
Whether they are met or not will
depend upon many factors, the chief
one being the yield the farmer
gets from his land.
That yield, in turn, is influenced
first by weather. A farmer may have
the finest of soil, plus all the labor,
machinery and supplies he needs,
but If the weather is bad his crops
will not be up to expectations. On
the other hand, excellent growing
weather can do much to mitigate the
problems involved in labor and sup
ply shortages, and even low fer
tility of land. The past few years,
when records have been broken right
and left under conditions far from
ideal except as to weather, make
this very clear.
Conservation Ups Yields.
1t should be pointed out, however,
that conservation practices have
played an important role in bringing
the productivity of United States
farms to its present all-time high.
Yields per acre have averaged 20
per cent more during the past five
years than during the previous 20,
and on some crops the increase
has been phenomenal.
The total acreage increase need
ed to meet the 1914 goal, most of
which will be devoted to food crops,
will be about 100000 acres. Az
erage yields would result in the
hoped for upping of production over
last year.
Chief increases in acreage planned
by U. S. farmers are SO per cent
more sugar beets, "a per cent more
wheat, % per cent more peanuts, 81
per cent more dry peas, 10 per cent
more soybeans, IA per cent more
sweet potatoes, II per cent more
fresh vegetables, and per cent
more dry beans. Small increases
are set up for potatoes, sugar cane,
and vegetables for processing.
The farm goals also recommend
per cent raise in total milk and
egg output, with similar increase
in the number of dairy COWS. A
