The Farm Situation GUY A. CARDWELL GENERAL AGRICU LTURAL AGENT Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company Unfavorable weather has delay ed field work and retarded plant ing schedules hut has not serious ly damaged growing crops. 1 he total tonnage of winter aiu,i earls vegetable crops to be marketed during the first halt of 1942 is ex pected to be considerably larger than last year, with most of the increase to be accounted for by an unusually large production of early cabbage. Larger supplies than in the corresponding period of IP 11 are expected for cabbage, celery, lettuce, tomatoes and treen peas, with supplies of other ear ly vegetables near thosy of a year ago. Milk production is currently be low projected goals for 1042 but the season of hcavj production is just ahead. The production of eggs is tip to goal figures. The number of livestock on farms is the lar gest on record. The high goals this year chal lenge the best efforts of tanners in view of restricted supplies of materials and implements needed in farm production. Most efficient use must lie made of available fa mily and farm labor. Cost of pro duction is rising but the prospect is that farm income will be the largest since 1919 when thL. total was 14.6 billion dollars. Prices of some farm products are lower than at the beginning of 1P42 but many livestock pro ducts continue above parity. Con servation and parity payments will be made by the Federal gov ernment on basic commodities and price supports have been announc ed for commodities needed in greatest abundance. Commodity credit loans and purchases for Lend-Lease shipments are sup porting factors. Corn belt and Western farmers are being urged to put in bigger crops of soybeans and flaxseed this year, and Southern farmers to grow more peanuts than ever before to satisfy an unprecedented demand for vegetable oils. Prices are to be supported in order to in duce farmers to produce mov ■ of these c rops. Other products needed in great abundance include canery peas and tomatoes, rich in fodo value for men at arms and those engag ed in the building of ships and manufacturing the munitions of war. More potatoes and rice un wanted more fresh vegetables, more steaks. chops and roasts more cheese and evaporated milk, more shell and dried eggs. The great demand for food is reflected in market places as con sumers pay prices for food in ac cordance with increased ability to buy. in the heavy purchases by military, and in buying for Lend Lease shipment. The 'fiurc'au of Agricultural Economics forecasts a rising demand for farm products as industrial production and con sumer buying power expand to the greatest volume in "history. In spite of difficulties in pro duction, processing and distribu tion brought about by diversion of labor, metals, chemicals and other farm needs to the war effort, '.ar mors expect to use available ,l quipment and man power to pro duce the food needed in the fight against aggression * \ /ICTORY OH THE FARM FRONT ▼ N£ii'J f.
