Record Smashing Crops and More Bread Predicted
Washington July 24. Prospective record crops of corn and wheat raise the possibility of whiter bread larger loaves and perhaps more beer once harvests arrive. Adept officials consider easing grain consumption restrictions if crops meet expectations and discuss potential revival of government grain purchases for famine relief. The Agriculture Department cites a record corn crop near 3.488 billion bushels and a wheat yield near 1.132 billion, surpassing 1944 and 1945 marks. Relief buying remains undecided with price controls possibly reinstated. UNRRA purchases may prompt limited action even if controls resume.
