Friday Nov, 26. 1943 v . A roundup of 1944, food production goals set at State meetings during Oct. reveals that the total output, if reached, .will top all previous farm production records. State farm program leaders are apparently confident that the Nations farmers can .beat all previous accomplishments with average weather Cooperation,' although the new food goals will require the use of about 380 million .acres of crops as against 364 million acres this year when the largest acreage since 1932 was harvested. Production goals determined at state levels by state agricultural leaders substantially measure up to, and in some cases exceed, the National Wartime fibre and feed requirements out. food, lined by the War Food Administration. Farm .leaders stressed, that adequate prices and price supports, .machinery, fertilizers and labor would.be necessary to meet the high goals set. Crop Report. With harvest nearly completed thru-othe Nation, the, November 1st crop report can be considered a fairly accurate index of 1943 farm production. The report has this to say of the general i ut situation: From every point of viek, the record is oe pf great accomplishment under difficulties.' The acreage planted was only a few per cent. under what seems likely to be the maximum to be expected during the War. Crop yields per acre average 24 per cent above the 2 or level and slightly higher .than the yields of any past season prior to the phenomenal yields of 1942. These high yields were not accidental for the weather of 1943, unlike that of 1942, was not much more favorable for crops than the average during all past season for which we have rec. 1923-3- ' ht Fairer Sex Invade Utah Smelting Industry U. S. EMPLOYMENT SERVICE James F. Jordan, manager of the Logan office, of the United States Employment Service said today in response to numerous inquiries as to the proper procedure for hiring terminated Remington Arms employees .that all such workers are essential and. may not be hired except upon presentation of a statement cf availability or by referral to the USES. Mr. Jordan said that any terminated Remington Arms employee to be hired or for work in a critical occupation whose statement of availability indicates that his last employment was in a critical occupation may be employed onlp upon referral by or in', accordance with arrangements with the U. S. Employment Service. There are 149 critical occupations listed under the WMC stabilization program. Mr. Jordan pointed out that under ruilngs regarding wartime priority .f service in supplying workers it is the responsibility of the USES and WiMC to meet the labor demands of essential employers before those of less essential employers. Essential workers can be employed in less essential activities only upon presentation of a referral card from the USES. The war is not over, said Mr. Jordan. In the absence of personal hardship essential workers will be expected to accept work with essential employers. Recent audits conducted by the UD2S have disclosed that both essential and less essential employers have hired workers in violation of the stabilization program. Mr. Jordon said that essential workers have been found to .be hired without statements of availability or referral cards from the USES. Less essential employers have been found to have hired workers who have 'been employed La essential activities within the CO days preceding their hire said ' Mr. Jordan. Such workers can be hired in les3 essential activities only upon presentation of a referral card " ' from the USES. Staff in each local office of the USES is assigned to "oV pimUmous audita of employers payrolls to make certain that the terms of tne stabilization programs are being adherred to. Mr Jordan said that the ttotv? the MO would take every possible step to 'secure compliance. He pointed out that whereas certain in the penalty provisions 4.4 W a plan it is designed primarily as a cooperative arrangement between workers an demployers to assure the maximum use of available manpower,' with the least possible turnover. He urged both employers and workers knowing of violations of the plan to' report them immediately to the nearest USES of' fice. Mr. Jordon urged employers particularly those engaged in essential activities to place and keep their orders cur- -' ords. The high yields were due primarily to better farming practices and technical improvements which were not apparenfy during the drought and depression years. ' Farm Machinery Outlook. Despite some rumors to the contrary, the 1944 farm machinery program will aot.be a too little too late proposition. War food administration officials in charge of farm equipment production programs, insist that manufacturing quotas will be met, and on time to meet seasonal requirements. This claim is based on thorough discussion of the subject with representatives cf the machinery and equipment industry. The present machinery program provides for an output averaging 8Q, per cent of 1942 production, with no quota restrictions on repair parts. Some difficulties remain, particularly in regard to component parts such 'as hearings and magnetos, but in general it appears that manufacturers will be able to complete quotas. To do so, however, will require the greatest possible cooperation between Government and industry. The War Food Administration is still emphasizing repair and maintenance i f old equipment, and the sharing of machinery. Seed Potato Ceilings.
