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.
