let's Face Facts Container Shortage A Primary Headache For Farmer in 1944 By BARROW LYONS ■ WNU Staff Correspondent > It is the advice of this corresoond ent that every farmer and shipper who requires wooden or paperboard containers to ship his crop to mar ket make ar- supplement his J£ Barrow Lyons This advice is given because the demand for conta ncrs, both new and used, is cert.i n to exceed the sut ply th.s year. If you do r• t know the address of a used container deal er. hunt one up in the i.earest ter minal market, or if you cannot do so yourself, get your commission house to send you the address of one. The reason for this caution is the fact that for several years consump tion of forest products has exceeded production, and stockpiles in most instances are at an irreducible mini mum. Yet military and industrial requirements this year will be at an all-time peak. Lumber has be come one of the scarcest commodi ties in general trade and it is going to be scarcer. The War Production board has an nounced a system for allocating lum ber to each type of user according to the importance of that type to the war efT >rt. N" doubt a Must ments will be made ns experience ind.eates errors th.it have been made in this nllocat; »n Use Local Committees Coordinating with this order, local committees urvi• ■ r W ir F' >od admin istration will detern- ne specifically what each shipper will receive with in the quotas for packaging of va rious classes of fruits and vegeta bles. Quotas of containers for the less essential vegetables will be cut down on the basis of a percentage of what the shinper used ir. the li' 42 crop season. Each shipper will be expected to ofTer proof of quan tity of containers used in P42 The general situation was outlined by R. A. Palen. chief of the Con tainers and Packaging Branch. Of fice of Materials and Facilities. WFA. "It is impossible at this moment to know just how short of forest products we shall be." said Mr. Pa len. "because it is impossible to cal culate exactly what military de mands will be. "We do know that inventories have been practically exhausted. Al though we expe t to g'. t s me addi tional help in lumbering from war prisoners, th s will not compensate for the loss of men drawn into the armed service, and additional num bers that will leave t: e forests for shipyards and industrial plants "Ti'ore vs. .11 he no re'iof from this situation, so far ns we can fore see. cxi ept when direct war require ments di 'line, or men return to the woods after ti~«-ir release from the army and navy. Mil tary Needs High "Sa far as machir. ry goes, trac tors and trucks will ue required in greater numbers for beaching op erate ns aril military transport, and the tires on this heavy equipment are the same as those used on guns and military trucks. "Packag ng of f iol requirements for the army and navy are way uo, and are likely to continue very high. We shall have to move vast quanti ties of foods o7 shore for lend-lease and other governments. Of course, we must preserve a How of essential civil an sunn'ies—but the word es- ( sential will come to have a new meaning to most of us. "Restricting the less essential i crops that require a large amount of containers, implies getting the maximum use possible from the con tainers we have However, the size of containers must be increased and lighter materials must be used. "While the demand for pulpwood has mounted enormously, production j is not sufficient. The amount avail able for essential uses is far below minimum requirements. Huge quan- i titles of paper are now being used for waterproofing purposes by the army." The greatest deficiency. Mr. Palen j said, would be in hampers and bas- j kets to supply growers in the Middle 1 West. Northeast and Middle Atlantic sections, although scarcity will be felt from Florida north, including the Mississippi valley and New Eng- | land. There will be no more con- 1 tainers than last year, but a con- j siderably larger crop will be har vested. In one area farmers cooperated with box manufacturers to insure their supply of containers by bring ing the lumber into the milis them selves, and then helping out in the mills by processing the lumber. It is hoped that in the fall many other sections will adopt this plan. In the meantime, it will be well for each farmer and shipper to ob tain used containers if he can do so. The next best plan is to contract for supplies, not overlooking the used container dealers. If one cannot be located, write Mr. Palen in Wash ington.
