Maryland Farm Front This Week Sees War Crop Aid Expanded
Maryland farmers who failed to plant 90 percent of their war crop goals due to cold and wet weather will receive full benefit payments under 1943 AAA programs as modified by the War Food Administration. Counties including Baltimore and Montgomery may grant full benefits if weather caused the shortfall, while Farm or Fight orders urge idle machinery be loaned or sold to boost production. A synthetic rest period for late potatoes promises faster seed readiness, enabling dig and plant the next day to ease seed potato shortages.

Six carloads of certified late potato seed are available, with potential to exceed twelve carloads if War-crop goals are met. Maryland farmers may draw from a CCC emergency reserve of 3,000,000 bushels of wheat until the 1943 harvest, with 467,900 bushels purchased since April 1 and orders totaling 86,000 last week. Congress authorized sale of 225,000,000 bushels from Ever Normal Granary reserves, leaving 2,006,000 bushels in the emergency reserve.
