FARMERS WORRIED about Sc
curing sorely needed new equip
ment for use in seeding, cultivating
and harvesting this years crops
will be interested in the schedule
of farm machinery ALLEGATIONS to
twelve European countries prepar-
ed by the United Nations Relief and
Rehabilitation Administration.
This schedule. inserted in the
Congressional Record for March 3.
1914. page 2219. by Congressman
Calvin Johnson of Illinois, lists Ov-
er $4,000 items of machinery to
he distributed as a part of the 2la
billion dollar program of UNRItA,
to which the United States contri-
butes more than half.
Items to be distributed are IA
toned in the Nnited States. In
cluded are 10000 tractors. some to
be sent to areas of the world where
they have never been seen before
and where fuel will have to be pro-
vided by the donor. Other items in
clude 10000 plows, $4,000 mowers,
10000 separators. $40 threshers,
22,900 rakes. 10000 harrows. $500
reapers. 10000 cultivators. etc. The
machinery is set aside for delivery
August l or after. Most of it will
be after" because it is all for coun-
tries still under Nazi control.
UNRRA officials point out that
the more help, machinery. etc, Civ
ell these countries the less food the
United States will have to give
them. Members of Congress have
raised the objection that no farm
machinery should be frozen" for
foreign ALLEGATION when it is so
badly needed on American farms.
In an editorial describing the
serious need for many more trac-
tors on Oklahoma farms than have
been allotted to that state the Enid
Morning News states:
"Oklahoma farmers as whole
responded last fall to the demands
of the Government to plant added
acres to wheat AS result, they
put in total of 5.13O,0OO acres as
compared to 3.SOO.OOO acres for the
1943 crop. Is Washington going to
allow this added acreage to go un-
and to be wasted simply
because it cannot or will not get
the farm machine output up to min
imum promises at time when steel
and other necessary metals are be- ;
coming surplus commodities? The
answer had better he forthcoming
soon, unless the crop program is to
fail. miserably and tragically, and ,,
through no fault of the farmers"
The advice of this Oklahoma
newspaper could aptly be applied
o Delaware.

An appeal to District govern

drive was made yesterday by
their drive chairman, Commits

Commissioner Mason said. II am
sure the keymen will keep behind

Commissioner Mason praised sew

scribed their quotas. Many offices,
however, he said, have turned in no
reports.
Some Quotas Oversubscribed.
Offices which have oversubscribed,
Mr.. Mason said, are: weights, meas

understands they have been doing
fine"
