Summary of Farm Plans Shows War Goals Approached The blueprint for 1943 production from Oregon's biggest "war plant" is rapidly niearing completion, R. B. Taylor, chairman of Oregon's USDA war board, announced this week in a progress report on the state's food-for-freedom farm mob ilization. The farm plan sign-up phase of the mobilization drive is about 80 percent completed, Taylor reports, with nearly 40,000 Oregon farmers having recorded both their produc tion plans and needs. Farmer's intentions, as expressed on these signed farm plans, show that Oregon will go over the top on three important war crop goals, will make substantial increases in others, and will continue a high output of livestock products. While farmers are thus planting and plan ning in terms of victory, they admit that final success depends much on the amount of help they get from the cities in caring for and har vesting these record plantings, Taylor reports. The preliminary summary shows that 45,000 acres of potatoes will be planted, as compared to the goal of 44,000 or 17 percent increase over 1942 .The dry edible pea goal calls for 28,000 acres, with the farm plan sign-up indicating about 35, 000 acres. Intended plantings of flaxseed, a vital oil crop, total over 7,000 acres, or nearly foulr1 times the 2,000-acre goal. Dry beans are lagging short of the goal, with only 3,000 of the 5,000 acres pledged. Plantings of tomatoes, pleas, snap beans, sweet corn, carrots, table beets and cab bage for both processing and fresh sale total 53,472 acres, a substantial increase. Tabulations for livestock and poultry are not yet complete, but first summaries from counties re porting show increases in hog pro duction will probably exceed the 15 percent goal Indicated numbers of turkeys, chickens for meat and hens for laying to be raised in 1943 are well above the goals, but re ports from producers indicate that this production may depend on soy bean meal and wheat being avail able at moderate prices. Reports from 26 counties show 24,000 more milk cows and hedlers on hand than at this time last year. Information has also been obtain ed on the farmer's production needs and is being used by war boards, the Extension service and other agencies in rationing the increased amounts of farm machinery, form ulating programs to recruit farm labor, developing machinery and truck cooperative pools, and in seek ing local solutions to other produc tion problems.
