Production Pattern

The departments final estimate Of
1916 farm output suggested the shift
ing pattern of production within the
past decade.
While such old American agricul-
tural standbys as wheat, corn, pota-
toes and tobacco showed appreciate
increases in 1916 over the 1854
average, rye was down to Is, 685, 900
bushels from 42,356, 900, and cot
ton dropped to 8,482, 900 bales from
IL, 553, 900.
Because Of changing needs, en-
phasis was placed on other crops.
To make up for a drop in imports,
rice production was boosted to H.
$4,000 bushels from the 10-year av-
erage Of SIS, 257, 900; to meet the de-
mands for industrial and edible oils,
soybean yields jumped to 1876, TBS, 900
bushels from 103, 457, 900, and peanut
output scared to 2,075, $50, 900 pounds
from 1887, 1854 600; and as part of
the program to, raise nutritional
standards, the harvest of dry peas
increased to 6,926,O0O bags from
4, $50, 900.

FOOD:
Full Tables

After counting the bountiful yields
OF 1916 farm production, the depart
ment Of agriculture told Americans
that they would eat well again in
1947.
BY intensive tillage Of substantial
ly smaller acreage than prevailed in
the '2O's, farmers produced record
crops Of wheat, corn, rice, potatoes,
soybeans, tobacco and garden vege-
tables; near record yields Of grapes,
peanuts and oats, and better than

sugar cane, sugar beets, dry peas,
sorghum and hay.

JAW Demands

In subscribing to Nathan's theory
that industry can hike wages with
out boosting prices, JAW Chieftain
Walter Reuther declared that cor
poration profits are running at rate
of Is billion dollars year in COM
parison with 10 billion during the
war and 5 billion in the prewar Pc
riod.
While business profits have been
rising, consumer purchasing power
has been diminishing. Reuther said.
During 1916, living costs have
climbed another 18 per cent, neces-
stating the 23k cents an hour wage
raise for the 900, 900 UAW members
to maintain their .'take-home" pay.
At present, the average wage in the
industry is $1.33 an hour.
Reuther's claim of big business
profits was challenged by major pro-
ducers, who charged that this years

terials adversely affected earnings.

Inflated construction costs cou-

said that the unions should negotiate
new scales with different companies
and industries on the basis of their
abilities to pay, he averred that the
manufacturing industry can grant
u per cent boost without raising
prices and still make double the
profits of the 1885, 80 period.
In view Of the high earnings of
industry and the gradual transfer
nation of sellers into a buyers

their largest prewar total, and
amounted to IL per cent of total con-
sumer OUTLAWS for that year.
Making public the first available
