Ohio to boost wheat acreage for war effort plans
Ohio aims for an 80 percent acreage increase to reach 1,000,000 acres with an expected 6,000,000 bushels next year. The plan uses community farm clubs, tractors, and county fairs to promote wartime wheat production, supported by Ohio State University extension agents and the War Council. A minimum price of 32 cents a bushel will spur planting, while demonstrations teach soil prep, fertilization, and market access. Horace Pumphrey of West Chestnut Street underwent surgery at M and S hospital.
