Expert Henry T Farrington warns of a looming food shortage if the War Industries Board order to cut tractor and farm implement production is not amended. The rule limits output from Oct 1 1918 to Oct 1 1919 to 75 percent of prior year, freeing steel for war, while new tractor firms face a cap of ten units each. Farrington notes underproduction now will worsen with labor losses from drafts and war effort, and disputes the board’s stated reasons.
