Brannan sets 1953 wheat goal at 72 million acres
Agriculture Secretary Brannan proposes a 1953 wheat crop about eight percent below 1952, setting the national goal at 72 million acres and projecting a 1.08 billion bushel crop with normal yields. He says the 1953 goal aims for abundance to safeguard reserves and mobilization needs, while offering farmers room to shift to feed grains or grasslands. Local Illinois figures show wheat 1,725,000 acres producing 32,518,000 bushels, barley 25,000 acres yielding 680,000, rye 40,000 acres yielding 568,000.

Make More and Have Less Washington
The Federal Reserve Board reported the average American family earned more in 1951 than in 1950, but higher prices and taxes offset the gain. Average total income rose from 3,520 to 3,840 dollars, about 9 percent, while consumer prices also rose about 9 percent, erasing the income gain and leaving buying power lower than the prior year.
