McLaughlin Defends Farmers Over Feed Shortage
West Virginia agriculture commissioner J. B. McLaughlin defended farmers against blame for the feed crisis. He noted Mississippi watershed floods hinder planting, while West Virginia faces too much rain but less delay than Ohio or Illinois. He warned reserves will worsen in three to four months without normal harvests as feed mills and distributors struggle to supply local needs. County Agent H. B. Thomas reported a Raleigh County chicken grower with 6,000 birds cannot buy sufficient feed. Local dealers ration deliveries, and a half‑million dollar Irwin mill fire worsens the shortage.
