What haunened to the American
wheat farmers when they respontaed
in Werid War days to the urgent de
mands for more production is a mat
ter of record. Wheat, fanners are
still suffering from the aftermath
of |2 wheat, and the great land-buy
ing and crop expansion program it
produced, and are getting lest than
the parity prices they received be
fore that war.
^^As department officials see the
picture today in the light of the
British food-aid plan, meeting the
demand will net be so much a mat
ter of shipping existing .surpluses to
Britain as of speeding up the na
tion's farm plant to meet the mm
riwiWMwl .
Large surpluses now exist in wheat
and corn and smaller ones in some
dried fruits, in the latter case be
cause the war has cut off former ex
port markets.
Canadian snrphisas Cited.
There is little expectation that
Britain will ask for American wheat,
however, for Canada also has a large
surplus and the British are expect
ed to keep their buying within the
Empire so far as possible. Corn is
not normally exported except in the i
finished form of hog products.
As department officials look at i
the picture, they expect that British
requests will be mainly for foods of
high nutritive value which come in
condensed bulk. This would mean
cheese, evaported milk, eggs, fresh
and dried fruits, beans, lard and
vegetable oils, and such pork prod
ucts as hams and bacon, which do
not need refrigerated cargo space.
As stated, aside froni dried fruits,
no large surpluses exist in these
commodities, for one reason because
the agency has been moving such
surpluses as do accumulate through
the domestic relief program.
Hnggvpr. it is oointed out that
the farm plant can quickly supply
largely increased supplies in these
fields. Production of meats can be
stepped up in short order .by more
intensive feeding, and in a little
longer time by increased breeding.
Poultry and egg production can be
greatly increased in a single season.
One great advantage to the Brit
ish of the food-aid plan, it is as
serted, is that it will substitute a
short passage across the North At
lantic between a major food sup
ply source and the British Isles for
the present long runs from Aus
tralia and South America, on whieh
Britain has been largely depending
for food imports.
What effect the new plan will
hare on the domestic food surplus
distribution plana department offi
cials do not yet know. They hope
these programs, particularly the
rapidly expanding food-stamp plan
can be continued but they say that
the domestic rslief demand should
centime to lessen steadily as a re
sult of increased employment under
the defense drive.
" ? 111
One reason the defense program is
so popular is because the people of
tide country do not, as yet, realise
that it means-sacrifice and sweat j
