Texas poultry producers are urged to raise extra chickens off season to boost civilian meat supplies. The Texas USDA War Board, led by B F Vance, notes this adds to existing egg and meat chicken production to meet wartime demands for 1942. Secretary Wickard called for 200 million additional chickens to supplement beef pork veal and lamb for domestic consumers after red meats are reserved.

Vance chairs an emergency program plan to market extra chickens in fall and winter 1942 to support 1943 production. He notes 1 million producers at 200 chickens each could hit the goal, with Texas as a key supplier for the war effort. Overall meat production tops 24 billion pounds in 1943, but demand reaches 27 billion, leaving 3 billion short for civilians. Three White House elms linked to Dolly Madison era cotillions remain.
