Maryland Farmers Receive Expanded War Food Aid and Ration Relaxations
Maryland farmers report 16780 tons of soil conservation materials purchased through the State Agricultural Adjustment Agency since July 1 1942, with direct dealer purchases excluded. Fencing rationing relaxations announced, allowing farmers to buy wire fencing without priorities. War Board chair Blandford notes these measures aid conservation and production. Annual output now exceeds prewar norms with 105.1 percent of base during AAA years, and Americans' 1941 consumption up 8 percent from 1928 1929 prosperity years. Maryland farm wives assured jars and rings for home canning. War Board reports five hundred million jars and 150000 pressure cookers for home use, 1.5 billion jars for commercial packers and reuse by consumers. Tire stock rules eased to boost farm tractor tires through more retail outlets. St Mary's County farmer John B Abell adopts new methods to meet war food goals amid labor shortages, reducing tobacco, expanding beef, and dedicating land to soybeans.
