In its latest move to speed up U. S. agricultural participation in the Un- ited Nations’ 1943 food program, the department is seeking to confine pro- duction to crops essential to civilian, military and lend-lease needs. Present action followed recent Ag- riculture Department announcements establishing 1943 “food-for-freedom” goals and removing pay ceilings for farm labor as a means of retaining vitally needed agricultural workers. Other previous moves inclued or- ders increasing nog and milk produc- tion, and corn acreage allotments in anticipation of large scale pork con- sumption. Under the new program which will be administered by the Agricultural Adjustment Agency. every farmer will confer with AAA representatives on the amount and kind of food he will produce. . State production goals are being planned and will be distributed am- ong county war boards on the basis of soil adaptability, labor, machinery and war production. The new program provides that failure to plant at least 90 per cent of allotments for corn, cotton, pea- nuts, rice, tobacco and wheat, will mean payment deductions at a rate of five times the compliance rate. Thus a farmer planting only sev- enty per cent of his allotment would lose his entire subsidy, it was point- ed out. Growers overplanting cotton, | tobacco and wheat, on which 1943 {war goals have already been set, will | be penalized ten times the compliance Irate. Formerly an agency designed to | reduce farm production as a means of stabilizing food supplies, the AAA {now has full power to increase agri- cultural output, With farmers de- | pending upon subsidies and price sup- | porting plans for the sale of commo- | dities, it was pointed out that U. S. | farmers will virtually be forced to comply with crop allotments or lose | their income. The department acknowledged that | financially, famers have already | striven for increased production. In | the first nine months of this year, they borrowed $344,000,000, of $54,- | 000,000 more than during the compar- {able period in 1941. Explaining that these funds are be- ing sought for increased food for | freedom production, a department | spokesman said: “Although farmers are borrowing more, on an average, than previously, their increased income makes it pos- | sible for them to pay off their load | more quickly this year.” | VV. i FIRE SWEEPS POP ~ FAGTORY CASSANDRA | Fire raged through the Cassandra | Bottling Works late last Wednesday |afternoon entailing damages estima- | ted at between $6,000 and $8,000. The interior of the large frame | building and an adjoining garage was badly gutted while six machines and a large delivery truck were damaged extensively. Regis Sanders, Cassandra, ow ner | of the plant, said he was unable to| give a complete estimate on the to-| tal damage until the machines are in- | Volunteer firemen from Cassandra, Lilly and Portage battled the flames for nearly thre hours in nearly zero weather before bringing the fire un- der control. Firemen were handicap- |ped by a high wind, which reached | gale-like proportions at times. Sanders expressed the opinion that the fire started when a quantity of syrup, used in the manufacture of | soda pop, dripped from an open can | down a hot air register pipe and on- ito the top of the furnace. | The fire started in the garage part | of the building directly above the | furnace. The flames followed the flue | to the second floor and broke out in | the. oily floors. i Four workmen in the building when | the fire broke out succeeded in flee- | ing before the blaze gained headway. | They spread the alarm, but despite | the prompt arrival of the firemen {they were unable to prevent the | blaze from spreading through the [large building. i —The U. 8.

Light said that Byrnes’ ruling el-| iminating government control over wages of farm laborers whose salar- ies are under $2,400 a year, is far | out of line, because farmers are un- able to place their help in such high | wage brackets.
