Chicago-As probably never
before in history, wheat and hogs
entered politics in 1916.
From bread crisis in the
spring to meat crisis in the
fall, agriculture and its record
crops have been a center of al
most constant public attention
from the halls of Congress to
q million kitchens.
Looking ahead, farmers could
get a glimpse of year in which
some agricultural experts pre-
dicted a moderate price decline
from 1916 levels which have
been exceeded only once or
twice in history.
With production again expect
ed to be high, there were some
rumblings of surplus supplanting
scarcity before l947 is out.
The agriculture department al
ready has called upon farmers
for a record crop output. A total
planting of $3.50, ,532, 900 acres was
recommendation increase of
three percent from this years
BAT, ,863, 900. More meat and milk
also were wanted The spring
pig goal is 58 million head, up
IL percent from 1916.
Expansion Pushed
A good start has been made.
Experts believe a record acreage
of winter wheat has gone into
the ground in the southwest and
the grain is fortified with splen-
did sub-soil moisture. Corn and
hog prices are at such levels as
to encourage heavy feeding of
corn, thereby expanding hog pop
ulation
All-time record crops of corn,
wheat, potatoes, tobacco, peach
es, pears, plums and truck crops
were harvested in 1916. In addi-
ton, there were near record
crops of oats, rice, soybeans, pea
nuts, grapes, cherries and sugar
cane.
There were better than average
crops of hay, flaxseed, sorghum
grain, buckwheat, dry peas
sweet potatoes, apples, prunesr
apricote, hops and sugar beets.
The Chronicle-star combined with the Moss Point advertiser., 1946-12-27
Wheat And Hogs" Played Prominent
Part In The Politics OF Past Year

But production of cotton and
cottonseed was, with the single
exception of 1921, the lowest
since 1895.
Climbing Prices
Prices were high. Two dollar
wheat was commonplace in all
markets in the latter part of the
year. Corn also got above $500,
and for a short time sold higher
than wheat. When the new crop
came in, corn prices fell. Cheese
and butter returned handsome
sums to producers.
Livestock brought almost fabu-
lous quotations following remov
al of price controls. Average
price of all hogs, cattle and sheep
at Chicago in November was the
highest on record. Down south,
the cotton farmers saw his staple
approach, but not quite reach,
40 cents a pound.
Shortages, black markets and
long lines in front of retail stor-
es highEghted the year. A bitter
battle was fought over OPA cell
ings. Food was a major factor
in the November elections, in
which the Democrats lost control
of Congress. Wheat and hogs
voted Republican.
Farm wage rates reached an
all-time high. Rural living costs,
as calculated by the Agriculture
Department, were at a record
peak.

MAYOR DILEMM M A
POSES HURDLE FOR
INCOMING COUNCIL
Difficulties In Organizing Next
Monday Night May Hamper
Body
Question of Appointments
Looms Large With Mayors
Position Unknown

Bluffton went into the New Year
this week with its mayoralty dilema
still unsolved, and with conjecture
pointing to the possibility that roper
cussions could result in municipal ap-
pointments being held up, and failure
of the incoming council to organize.
Mayor w. A. Howe so far has made
no statement as to his intentions, and
from his decision as to whether he
will remain in office stem complica-
tions that could prevent organization
of the new council and the completion
of municipal appointments at the
first meeting next Monday night.
No member of the incoming council
has indicated a willingness to accept
presidency of the body should it be
contingent on succeeding to the office
of mayor, as provided by law in case
the chief executive of the municipality
resigns.
New Council Faces Hurdle
Conceivably this could result in fail
ure of the new council to organize
should Mayor Howe announce a de-
cision to resign from office. And un-
less the council organizes it cannot of
icially transact business or its men,
bers take office.
This could mean that the old coun-
ell would have to continue serving un-
til organization was effected, but the
question of who would be Blufftons
mayor would continue unanswered.
Municipal appointments also re-
main major question mark, for
should Mayor Howe decide not to con-
tinue in office it is unlikely he would
name any appointees.
Continue Until Successor Appears.
Under state law, Mayor Howe must
continue in office until his successor
is duly elected and qualified, and if
he chooses he may remain in the ex-
ecutive post until the next election.
His resignation would automatically
advance the president of the council
to the mayoralty.
Municipal appointments are requir-
ed by law to be made at the first
meeting of the new municipal govern
ment each year. Posts to be filled
include those of town clock caretaker,
city solicitor, clerk of Maple Grove
cemetery board, service supervisor
Combined in the past with the post of
marshal), assistant street supervisor,
Combined in the past with night po-
lice), municipal fremen and fire chief.
