Maryland Farm Front This Week Details War Board Rationing Shifts
Maryland officials announce moves to transfer surplus farm machinery between counties under wartime quotas. Dealers must inform county committees two weeks before transfers, effective June 30. Wheat loans rise nine cents above 1942 values, with storage on or near farms encouraged amid transportation shortages. Leonard Burns notes Maryland’s storage history and projected limited wheat movement this year. Simon Downey contrasts US and German food situations, citing wartime material use and consumer garbage pails.
