b.5% Increase Sought
In Feed Grain Acreage
To Offset Corn Loss

The Government plans to ask
farmers to plant nearly 6.5 per cent
more land to livestock feed grains
next year in an effort to replenish
supplies cut short by this years
poor corn crop.
Larger grain harvests will be
needed if a serious shortage OF
meats, dairy and poultry products
: is to be averted in 1949. These feeds
will be scarcer in 1948 than this year
because of the present corn short
age.
The Agriculture Department pre-
pared to issue late this afternoon
a semi-final estimate on this years
output of corn and few other
major crops.
In addition. the extent OF
drought damage to the important
winter wheat crop is scheduled to
be outlined by the department.
Officials are resigned to bad news
on winter wheat, particularly in
parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas
and Nebraska.
The loss resulting from drought
conditions may run into the millions
of bushels, some experts believe.
Such a situation would complicate
further the world grain shortage.
Little Change Expected.
Officials expected little change
from last months estimate placing
the corn crop at 2,458,674,O 900
= bushels, a decline of about Is per
; cent from last years record crop
of 3.287 ,927 900 bushels and a drop
of about per cent from the 1886
IS average of 1853, 100000.
The corn production goal for this
year was 5000 100000 bushels. And
. the Government will seek a crop
: of at least that much in 1948. Ten
tative plans call for a compliant
ing goal of 92,000,000 acres, or about
. 6.3 per cent more than the &c.
{ 100000 acres planted this year.
The prospective goal for the
!. principal feed grains-corn, oats,
. barley and grain sorghums-is 1885,
: 600, 900 acres That is about $780,
. 600 acres more than was planted to
: those crops this year and about
= 5,6OO,OO0 acres more than the pre-
war average.
Wheat Increase Saught.
The department already has rec
+. commended a 1948 wheat goal OF
:, 100000 acres. While this is about
: 100000 acres more than the 1947
: goal, it is about 100000 less than
: wasf actually planted for harvest
: this year.
> These grain goals are larger than
: the department would prefer to
: recommend, officials said, because
!. they will require a sacrifice Of good
! crop rotation and soil conservation
= practices. But the controlling fac
tors are the continuing urgent de-
= mand for big shipments overseas
= plus the need for building up re-
!. serve stocks at home.
. The corn acreage may go con-
siderably above the tentative goal
because, in some sections Of the
: Midwest, fall paintings of wheat
have not been made because of dry
. weather. Hence some of this land
! may be put to corn or other feed
: grains next spring.

Alf M. Landon, former Governor of
Kansas and the 1886 Republican
presidential candidate, predicted to-
day that the world situation
the increased or decreased chances
Of an early third world war-would
have an important bearing on the
selection of the Republican choice
for President next year.
In Mr.. Landon's opinion more
serious outlook for war would in
cline many people to favor a presi-
dental nominee fully acquainted
with the problems of national de-
fense and conversant with foreign
affairs and military strategy.
He declined fatty to state whom
he favored at this time for the
COP presidential nomination, al

war situation might be of major

AS a prophet Mr.. Landon showed
himself remarkably apt in letter
he wrote Raymond Moley, one of
the early Roosevelt brain trust"
and now a columnist and educator,
more than two years ago. In that
letter, dated April 26, 1945, and
released today for publication, Mr..
Landon forecast that President
Truman would have difficulty with
Henry Wallace, then Secretary of
Commerce, and that in 1948 there
would be a third political party
headed by Wallace and financed by
the Political Action Committee.
In his letter to Mr.. Moley, Mr..
Landon said he was "pessimistic"
as to what would come out of the
United Nations Conference, then
in San Francisco to write
a charter for the y. N.
"It seems to me-" he wrote, ''that
Russia is developing just as France
did after its revolution. I mean
it is heading in a militaristic and
direction. Napoleon
had bunch of young marshals-
mostly of the wooden shoe class
who were feeling their oats.

apparently lusting for power.
Napoleon set up puppet govern
ments just as Stain is doing and
just as Hitler tried to do with his
Quislings. Stain is an atheist, like
