Farm Equipment Material Quota to Be Expanded
U S defense officials said the Office of Production Management will raise its plan to supply farm equipment makers. The goal is to boost 1942 output for shipment to Britain, potentially restoring full 1940 material levels. The board supports using farm equipment as the first test case for the new allocations program.

Soul Conservation Amid Hog Pen Quips
A country woman quotes a farmer husband on vest buttons and hogs, joking that fourteen pigs and twelve vest buttons threaten democracy. She argues malnutrition or a shift to mechanized production shows priorities misaligned at the hog pen.
Priority help eyed for steel and other scarce materials
OPM will, at SPAB bidding, assign industry specific amounts of critical materials like steel. If approved, the approach will extend to defense and non defense sectors with defense needs first. Farm equipment retains a high non-defense rating of B-1 and policy review may extend 30 days if not finished in two weeks.

7000 Tons Are Ordered For 1942 Use
Iowa farmers will use more phosphate in 1942 on mineral deficient fields, with orders totaling 14,000,000 pounds versus 7,000,000 in 1941. Kossuth county orders alone reach about 4,260,000 pounds. Farmers can buy phosphate through county committees using conservation checks, as the program expands with district schools to explain the phosphate plan. The 1942 product is 20 percent phosphate, down from 45 percent superphosphate in earlier years, and farmers report good results.
