Faced with a greater demand than last year, the nation's biddies responded with nearly 4$ billion triumphant cackles for the largest January egg production of record 17 per cent above the the previous high of January, 1943 and 82 per cent above the (1933-42- ) average.

Tractor Tire Situation Tight Repair, retread and utilize used tractor and implement tires whenever possible, the Office of the Rubber Director urges the nation's farmers, so that all farm tractors and implements may ed be kept in service. Reason for the tight situation is that requirements for tractor and implement tires exceed best production estimated for the first six to eight months of this year. The tractor tire situation is the most acute. In order that necessary replacements will be available, tractor conversion from steel to rubber are limited to hardship cases and these require WFA approval. rear-whe- el Farmers Cash Income High Cash income from farm market- ings for 1943 is now estimated by the USDA at $19 billion, compared with about $15 billion in 1942 and (1935-39- ) $8 billion for the average. Sales of livestock and livestock products showed the greatest increase, but larger returns from the sale of poultry, eggs, fruit, most fresh vegetables, and soil crops also helped boost the total. Farm Trucks Have Big Job Last year, about 1.6 million motor trucks, most of them farmer-ownemoved 98 per cent of the farm crop at some stage of huge the journey from farm to market despite fewer available vehicles for this purpose, ODT reports. Increasing age of farm trucks, shortages of replacement parts and manpower for repair and upkeep all contibuted to the decline in truck numbers. Industry transportation plans played an important part in curtailing mileage in the distribution of farm products.

"still not too bright" con-stucti- on Farm News Briefs Milk production has taken a turn for the better, increasing sharply on farms during January to 4 per cent above December and 2 per cent short of January, 1943. Although there are a larger number of milk cows on farms than last year the February 1 percentage of cows milked was the lowest for that date since 1938 in all regions, and in the country as a whole was the lowest in a decade. The average price received by farmers for corn in 1943 was 38 per cent higher than a year earlier, the price of oats 62 per cent higher, and the price of barley 69 per cent higher. er Military food purchases in 1943 increased about 75 per cent over 1942, and accounted for about 13 per cent, of the total 1943 produce tion. and other exports showed a 57 per cent increase over 1942 and amounted to about 12 per cent of the total production in Lend-Leas- 1943. Both' military and Lend-Leas- e food requirements are figured to be larger in 1944 than in 1943, and shipment for European relief may become more important. Home canners will be urged to better the record set last year, it is estimated, nearly 25 persons participated in putting up more than 4 billion jars and cans of fruit. COLUMK ! in is War Needs The Lumber About 70 per cent of the total lumber output this year will be needed by the armed, forces, so the War Production Board reports that restrictions on dvilion will not be relaxed in the near future. Farmers, as during the past two years, will continue to get "essential" lumber for farm construction which contributes to the production and storage of necessary foods and fibers. But, WPB points out, stockpiles are low and production is below requirements, so lumber-savin- g should be practiced even on essential projects. PUBLIC HEALTH .
