The War Food Administration acts with the OPA to conserve livestock feed and maximize livestock product output. It removes corn subsidies and shifts to price ceilings while freezing oats barley and other grains. The steps aim to use available feed supplies efficiently and support farm production.
A South Dakota extension expert warns that fattening hogs beyond 230 pounds is not economical given price ceilings and feed costs. The article also notes rising farm real estate values, expected 1944 production gains, and a warning to farm workers to notify selective service boards when taking town work.
Production yields in 1943 are near average with an intent to plant 380 million acres in 1944, up from 364 million. Most gain goes to food production with average yields and a projected 18 percent above the 1935-39 average and about 4 percent above 1943. State College extension specialists urge high protein feeds on farms, noting that planting alfalfa and other legumes can reduce supplement needs, while a standard farm with average livestock may require 10 to 15 tons of high protein supplements annually for balanced rations.
Ralph Ee. Hansen, state college extension soil conservationist, notes planning soil and water plans boosts next year’s yields. South Dakota has 32 organized soil conservation districts across 34 counties, each with engineers and agronomists to design contour or other modern farming methods. County extension agents train to run contour line plans with farmers.
South Dakota honey production in 1943 was about 1,530,000 pounds, down 20 percent from 1942 amid a cold wet spring and dry summer. United States overall rose 6 percent, while North Central states saw a 15 percent drop, with bee losses and poor honey plant growth noted.
Dakota in 1943 was estimated at 18,000 compared with 17,000 in 1942. The average yield per column was 85 pounds this year compared with 112 pounds in 1942.
An old fashioned cold remedy touts Penetro salve for overnight relief. It claims two actions: inside by vapors to ease breathing and throat pain, outside as a plaster to stimulate circulation.
A brief honey flow period this year contrasts with the lengthy season observed in 1942, suggesting earlier harvest completion and possibly impacts on beekeeping schedules and yields.
