Davis announced higher government support prices for five farm crops dry beans dry peas peanuts soybeans and flaxseed and renewed promises of incentive payments on potatoes and truck crops.

Government actions to reduce worker absences urged
In a government blueprint printed in the Amarillo Globe on April 8, 1943, four steps are outlined to curb absences. The plan calls for clear absence records by industry, the labor department as a clearinghouse for reducing absences, immediate agency action on housing transport and child care, and joint statements by the labor department, War Production Board, War Manpower Commission and OWI to inform the public about the absence problem and counter the idea that war workers are slackers.
