USDA War Board Sets New Farm Machinery Quotas
Texas farmers are told new farm machinery will be scarce in 1943 and production is cut by about 50 percent under WPB limits. Quotas restrict new machines to 20 percent of 1940 output with 75 percent allocated now and the rest later to balance inventories and producer types. Gasoline rationing registration is postponed to November 19 21 and nationwide rationing is delayed to December 1 due to coupon book delays.
