ANAHEIM GAZETTE AND THE FARMER CALIFORNIA 1947 PRODUCTION GOALS With the approval of the State USDA council of California's production goals for 1947, farmers have their production pattern for another year, according to E. H. Spoor, State Director, Field Service Branch, Production and Marketing Administration. Production will continue high in 1947, said Spoor. One of the big reasons for this is the worldwide scarcity of food. Another is the need to rebuild some of our depleted stockpiles, and a third, because we must allow for the vagaries of the weather — we can't count on another such favorable growing year as we have just experienced. Where there have been increases in commodities such as sugar beets and flaxseed, he pointed out, short on a world scale, there have been relative decreases in others. Potatoes are one of the crops for which smaller acreage is asked, with goals for individual farms to be set later and price support to depend upon the farmer's observance of these goal-limits. MORE SUGAR BEETS With sugar beet acreage increased throughout the nation, California's goal is set at 180,000 acres, which is 23,000 acres more than was planted in 1946, and slightly less than the record acreage of 1942—183,000 acres. MORE FLAXSEED In view of the high demand for linseed oil and this state's superior productive capacity, California has been given a goal of 160,000 acres, a 51 percent increase over the 1946 crop. LESS SPUDS with reasonably high yields. MORE BEANS On dry edible beans, the California goal is 377,000 acres, as compared to 287,000 acres planted in 1946. This goal, however, is well below the record 442,000 acres planted in 1943. The new price relationship since the removal of beans from price controls should be an inducement to growers to plant more beans, said Mr. Spoor. SWEET POTATOES The California goal for sweet potatoes is 11,000 acres as compared to an average of 10,000 acres during 1941-46. FEED GRAINS STILL IN HIGH While heavy national production in 1946 eased the short feed situation, California being one of the feed deficit areas, is asked to continue high production. The goal for wheat, most of which is used for feed, is set at 800,000 acres, as compared to 737,000 planted in 1946. To offset increases in wheat and flaxseed, barley is reduced to 1,800,000 as compared to 1,870,000 planted in 1946. The goal for corn is 70,000 acres as compared to 67,000 in 1946; and for oats, 550,000 as compared to 554,000 acres in 1946. The largest relative shift in acreage is that for grain sorghum. It is proposed that 140,000 acres be planted in 1947 as compared to 110,000 in 1946. Harvested rye, a goal of 10,000 acres, the same as last year. INCREASE OF DAIRY COWS On dairy products, as requirements are expected to remain heavy and any level of production likely to obtain in California to find ready markets, the goal is limited only by the ability of the dairy industry to expand. With this in mind, a goal of 840,000 head of dairy cows on farms dur- MORE FLAXSEED In view of the high demand for linseed oil and this state's superior productive capacity, California has been given a goal of 160,000 acres, a 51 percent increase over the 1946 crop. LESS SPUDS On early potatoes, California's goal is 53,000 acres, and on late potatoes, 38,400. Acreage on potatoes was cut nationally in an attempt to bring supply into line with demand, and prevent repetition of this year's costly support program. RICE STILL IN HIGH PRODUCTION On rice, because of the world need and relative scarcity, California is asked to continue her high war-time production for at least one more year, with the goal set at 250,000 planted acres—4,000 acres less than in 1946. Continued high use of nitrogen fertilizers, extension of the rice rotation and some expansion into new land, Mr. Spoor points out, has enabled California farmers to maintain their high acreage INCREASE OF DAIRY COWS On dairy products, as requirements are expected to remain heavy and any level of production likely to obtain in California to find ready markets, the goal is limited only by the ability of the dairy industry to expand. With this in mind, a goal of 840,000 head of dairy cows on farms during 1947, or an increase of two percent over 1946 is recommended. BEEF CATTLE On beef cattle, the California goal for the end of the year is 546,000 head of beef cows as compared to 578,000 at the beginning of the year and 543,000 on January 1, 1946. CHICKS, TURKS On chickens, California's goal is 21,200,000 as compared to 19,-131,000 in 1946. On turkeys, the 1947 goal for California is 3,700,000 turkeys, little change from the 3,713,000 birds actually raised in 1946. MORE SPRING PIGS On spring pigs, the California goal is set at 61 thousand hogs farrowed, up 11 percent from the 55 thousand in the spring of 1946. are staff takes this ity to extend to sincere wishes for y and Prosperous New Year. E. A 21 Export of 6 million hundred-weight of flour during January-March 1947 has been approved for 10 of the countries now under export license, USDA has announced. The countries include: Saudi Arabia, India, Belgium, Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland, French Zone in Germany, United Kingdom Zone in Germany Finland and Norway. A share of the first crop of green tea picked in Japan since the end of the war will soon be appearing in the market, says USDA. About 71-2 million pounds is scheduled for this country, two-thirds of which has already been received. Agriculture reports, 209 million pounds as compared with 233 million pounds. While this yield is well above pre-war production, the limited supply of sugar has increased the demand for honey beyond the increase. The honey crop for 1946 is somewhat smaller than last year, according to U.S. Department of Piperonyl butoxide is a new insecticide declared to be as deadly as DDT to insects but only one- Holiday Greetings MERRY CHRISTMAS And HAPPY NEW YEAR VILLINES JEWELRY 263 E.
