Show UTAH'S '48 WHEAT GOAL SET AT 320,000 ACRES "Utah's 1948 wheat goal of 320 000 acres ha been approved by the secretary of agriculture,' H E. Larsen, member of the Utah PMA state committee, announced today. The goal is approximately 1 000 acres more than 1947 indicated indi-cated planting, excluding "volunteer" "volun-teer" wheat. Mr. Larsen pointed out that the goal serves as a guide to farmers in planning production against needs. Nationally, the 1948 goal of wheat is four million acres more than the goal set for 1947 which is nearly the same as the -1947 indicated plantings. Yields equal to those of the last few years would produce on the 1948 average the fourth sucess.ve crop of more than a billion bush-els. |
