Anderson Plans For Increased Food Production
Congressman Clinton P Anderson said the best way to end the food shortage is to raise production and win farmer confidence while preventing a surplus from harming farmers after the war. He warned meat poultry eggs sugar and canned goods likely won't see big civilian supply gains. Authority as War Food administrator remains unclear though Truman has not defined powers and some lawmakers fear restricted scope.

Bill Would Return Farm By-Products Lab to State
Washington AP reports the House Agriculture Committee backed a bill to return the Iowa State College agricultural by-products laboratory to Iowa. Rep Cunningham IA says land was deeded to the federal government in 1933 for experiments, but work ended. The college wants to continue research, but state funds cannot be appropriated until the property reverts to Iowa. The government had not completed building nor installed equipment on the land.

Postwar farm plans shift toward higher output and subsidies
Discussions outline a pivot to expanded agricultural production under new USDA leadership Clinton D. Anderson. Plans include merging WFA and USDA, floor prices to protect producers, and assured higher prices to spur output while industry backs a robust farm economy. Farmers recall 1915 1917 and 1924 soft corn years amid cool springs and late frosts, noting hybrid corn’s rise. Sub subsidy payments to Iowa cattle feeders delayed due to draft forms and slaughter permit number issues, with a timetable for drafts and payment expected within a week.

Iowa Farmers Increase Use Of Fertilizers
Iowa farmers have boosted commercial fertilizer use from 5,000 tons in 1936 to about 99,000 tons by 1944. Dr. W H Pierre of Iowa State College says current prices let farmers profitably use at least 400,000 tons annually, with a temporary postwar dip but a gradual rise thereafter in Iowa and newer states. He notes regional spending differences and that fertilizer use rises where cultivation has been extensive.
