Government funds outline for 1942 forest and land programs
A new appropriation of 000 provides 115000 to transfer to the interior department for land work under interior jurisdiction. The apparent drop in main credit funds stems from loan financing methods for farmers. Re appropriations will be lower in 1942 but total funds from collections and reappropriations will cover the loan program, with research extension regulatory and forestry activities sustaining 1941 levels.

International Wheat Pact of 1933 and Its Continuation
The world once signed a 1933 wheat agreement by 22 nations to limit output for three years. Severe drought later ended export programs, and the pact was discontinued. Since 1938 global wheat supplies grew, renewing the underlying problem.
Wheat Storage Time Limit Extended
The agriculture department extended the storage period under government loan to April 30 1943 because of grower pressure over a 49 cents per bushel penalty for wheat exceeding allotments. Growers may avoid the penalty by underplanting next year by the excess, counting on quota lifts by 1943, or accepting a large offsetting loss next year.
