WORLD RELIEF:
authorize UNRRA

BY overwhelming vote, congress
put itself on record for participant
ing in world relief by authorizing
expenditures of 81, $50, 900, 900 for the
United Nations Relief and Rehabil-
itation administration to help the
people Of occupied countries get
back on their feet following their
liberation.
Although UNRRA will feed, clothe
and restore essential services in the
stricken countries, it will do so
only for the purpose of getting the
people started in rebuilding their ag-
ricultural and industrial economy,
and the agency will not represent
a permanent institution, it was said.
Matching the u S. contribution, 43
other United Nations will put about
$3.50, 100000, and no country will be
permitted to withdraw until it has
discharged its obligations,

AGRICULTURE:
Food Supply

Civilian food supplies during 1914
should be the same as last year
with farmers continuing record
breaking performances, War Food
Administrator Marvin Jones said,
but stocks Of milk, cheese and fats
may be slightly less.
At the end of 1943, the U. S. had
the largest livestock inventory in
history, Jones said, with IS per cent
more hogs and per cent more cat
tie, although sheep and lamb num-
bers were down per cent.
With farmers urged to cultivate
10000, 900 more acres than last year,
they still face manpower problems,
Jones related. The outlook for pro-
duction of farm machinery and
fertilizer have improved, he added.
Revealing $3.50, 100000 was spent
for supporting farm prices in 1943,
Jones said they served the double
purpose of offering incentive for pro-
duction and holding down consumer
costs.

Postwar Outlook

Addressing the National Associa-

Claude r. Wickard declared post
war Americas exportable surplus Of
farm commodities would be IS per

Asserting the figure resulted after
estimating increased domestic de-
mand for consumption and industry,
Wickard said: again we are either
going to have to extend credit or
give agricultural products to other
nations, or we are going to have to
accept goods and services in ex-
change"
Advances in agricultural produc-
ton will pose a major problem in
postwar America, Wickard said, re-

IVA:
Under Fire

Tennessee's lank Sen. Kenneth
Mcclellan took his battle against
present IVA financial policies to the
floor of the senate, demanding that
the big one billion dollar government
power project be compelled to op-
crate altogether on direct appropri-
atoms from congress and turn over
its revolving fund to the u. S. treas
ury.
Long at odds with TWAS Chair
man David Lilienthal because of the
latter's alleged political activities
against him, Senator Mcclellan said
congress should retain supervision
over IVA funds to determine their
proper expenditure.
Taking up the cudgels for IVA,
Alabama's Sen. Lister Hill argued
that acceptance of McKellar's pro-
posal would mean congress would
have to pass on all of TWAS tech
nical operations, complicating pro-
cedure with possible paralysis of
service.

The potatoes are part of the 1913

potatoes will probably be converted
to alcohol, although the process is

Among the legumes, the alfalfa crop
that develops during the hottest and
driest part of the summer may be
expected to produce the most seed,
experience has shown. This is usually
the second crop, although south of
Kansas it may be the third and in the
extreme north it will be the first.
Wherever crimson clover grows well
the seed can be saved by every farmer,
says VIA. The second crop of Me-
dunn Red is the one usually harvested
for seed throughout the Northern and
Western States, and is recommended
for large seed yields. White clover
heads that develop during the latter
part of June and early in July in the
Central Eastern States, and farther
north during July, have been found to
produce the most seed. Ladino clover
management is the same as for white
clover.
Combining grass-seed production
with the raising Of grass for pasture,
hay, or silage has been found practical,
VIA reports. Procedures are deter.
mined by the characteristics of the
grasses. Controlled grazing, with the
removal of livestock in time to insure
a seed crop is essential. Fencing off
of the field to defer grazing until after
the seed is harvested is recommended
in early summer, when there is usually
a surplus of pasture.
