Greater Wheat Acreage Urged to Combat Famine
The Dominion Government is urged to ask Canadian farmers to maximize wheat acreage in 1946 and to accept delivery of all wheat grown to ease global famine. Cecil Lamont of the North-West Line Elevators Association argues for increased production and rapid distribution to affected regions. The message notes 1946 wheat acreage targets unchanged from 1945 at 23,414,000 acres.
