Farm GOALS
RISE IN STATE
continued from hrst page)


IN a letter to county and COM
munity committees Mr.. Ocheltree
warns that a strict conservation
program is STILL the best method of
meeting the problem. He calls con-
servatiOn a national responsible
ity" and says that the Agricultural
Conservation Program is merely
a means whereby the farmer gets
some financial and material help
for the most needed conservation
Jobs"
To indicate what is happening
Mr.. Ocheltree. cites national fig
ures on wheat.
"A 30-bushel crop of wheat" he
writes, takes out of the ground
the equivalent Of a 100-pOund sack
OF 20 per cent phosphate. This
means that 500 million bushels of
wheat shipped to Europe would
take something like II million 100
pound sacks Of phosphate"
''Even more nitrogen and potash
are used up" his letter continues.
mot to mention other materials. &"
The state PIMA chairman points
out that growing cultivated crops
opens the land to erosion, and
speeds the process up in many
cases. Just as soon as we can"
he says "some of this land should
be turned out to grass or put into
legumes. The Agriculture COnser-
vatiOn Program is set up to help
farmers meet this problem"
Giving high praise to both coun-
ty and community committeeman,
Mr.. Ocheltree cites two main rea-
sons for the success of the pro-
gram here. These are: "The ad-
ministratiOn of the program didn't
bog down in either inefIlciency or
corruption because, farmers them
selves wrote it (and) AAA COM
mitteemen didn't gulp down direc-
tives from Washington. They chew
ed them carefully and if they
didn't understand them or didn't
like the taste, they fought like
everything for revisions. Usually
they got them.
The largest requested increase
this year is rye. The USDA calls
for 10000 acres this year compar-
ed to $4,000 last year, a SO per
cent increase. Corn is increased
by 10000 to 145,OO0 acres this year
while oats are increased a thou

sand to 1000 acres.

sand to 1000 acres.
Other production figures. all the
same as last year are: Wheat. 70
600; barley, $4,000; hay, $4,000, and
sweet potato, 5000. Irish potatoes
were decreased by a thousand ia
$500 acres.
Goals for sOws and chickens re-
main the same this year but that
for turkeys is dropped. The figure
for sows is 5000 head while O.
100000 chickens and $4,000 tur-
Keys are requested. The latter is
5000 less than last year.
The national picture represents
only slight decrease in the over
all program. Final goals for most
crops call for 353,882, 900 acres of
food, fiber, and live stock feed
crops. This is smaller than the
figure requested last November
but still higher than the GAG, ,469 900
acres planted to the same crops
last year.
This is the seventh straight year
that farmers have been called uDOn
to plant more heavily than good
land use would dictate. Large war
and postwar needs have made big
acreage necessary.
The 1948 corn goal was set at
90,700,O0O acres. The department
has suggested 92,12O,O 900. Last year
the crop dropped to 86,424, 900
acres largely because of the spring
floods, and state farmer commit
tees said they felt the depart
ment's proposal for this year was
too high.
Live stock goals remained virtu-
ally unchanged. The goal for sOws
to farrOw fOr the spring crop was
increased from 7,936,OOO to T.
984 900 head.
The 1948 goals call for increases
over 1947 for oats, barley, sOrgh-
ums, rye. fiaxseed, and dry edible
beans.
Goals for wheat, rice, and soy
beans were continued, the depart
ment said, at the maximum acre
ages feasible in terms of good land
use.
