The u. S. d. A. announced on
January 25, dried egg purchase
program under which approx
mately S.5 million pounds will be
bought for delivery in February
and March. The eggs viii be used
to fulfill export commitments
made by the Department. Origin
ally it was intended to fill these
commitments with dried eggs pro-
cessed from frozen eggs declared
surplus" by the Army. The froz-
en- eggs, amounting to 70 million
pounds, were taken back recently
by the Army, making it necessary
for the Department to buy dried
eggs in the open market. Purchas-
es will be made only from driers
who certify that they have paid at
least support prices for the shell
eggs purchased from producers.
Postwar years must bring in
creased conservation of soil pro-
ductivity on the individual farms
of the nation, according to the an
nual report of the Field Service
Branch of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. The report covers
activities of the former Agricul-
tural Adjustment Agency for the
year ended June 80, 1945. Millions
of acres were overcropped and ov-
er-grazed to get the farm produc-
tion which hastened victory said
N. E. Dodd, F S. B. director. He
recommended that postwar farm
plans include: returning farming
to balanced rotation system, pro-
tecting land against erosion and
restoring plant food to depleted
soil; increasing domestic consump-
ton; preparing program for lar
ger exports to warravaged coun-
tries; production of agricultural
commodities guided by consumer
demand and foreign markets; and
such aids to farm security as mea-
sures to assure fair prices and a
stabilized farm income. Farmers
on nearly 3.5 million farms coop
Grated in the 1914 AAA program.
Trough such cooperation, improv-
ed farming methOdS are peIng en-
couraged on farms which embrace
nearly rs percent of the nations
cropland. Preliminary estimates
are that the volume of practices
performed in 1945g will be larger
than in 1914. To replace soil
minerals and prevent erosion, al
most "a million tons of ground
limestone and nearly 2 million
tons of superphosphate were ap-
piled in 1914.
