Seek To Alleviate Acute Corn Shortage WFA Pions To Send Crews To Corn Belt Washington. Apr 17. — (UP) — The corn shortage has become so acute that the war food adminis nation has decided tentatively to send crews Into the corn belt tu determine bow much corn farmers arc holding In excess of actual feeding requirements, it was learn ed today Wherever surpluses are found to exist, it was said, agricultural ad justnient agency agents will offer to ehell and truck the corn to the nearest storage or shipping center and pay the farmer the price he; would receive for delivering the | corn at these points. By paying shelling and trucking costa, the government would Indirectly give the farmer a higher price without directly raising the celling. The office of price administration has refused to authorize a direct price increase. The plan, subject to last minute changes, probably will be announced sometime this week. It follows a aeries of conference* during the last 10 days between WFA. OPA. war production board and offlee of economic stabilization officials on the most satisfactory way of moving corn from farms to essential users. Some reAnenes, processing corn for vital war materials, already have shut down because of inability to get corn. Requialtioning of corn from country elevators, ordered by WFA in mid-March, has fail--ed to fill needs This is true al-1 though the "set-aside ’ for industrial users was rsteed from 35 to i 60 percent on April 1Livestock feeders in deA< lt pro-1 during areas also are feeling the , pinch of short supplies.

More than two-thirds of the corn J supply disappeared between Odo ! ber and April 1. if demands tor I the rest of the year are at tho same rate as last year, suppliea on Octolier 1 will total only about 109.009.900 bushels.

LOOK HERE, MISTER! Lets you and I have just a little chat. 1 know you are anxioun to do all you can to help in the war effort. Maybe that's because your son or your brother is in the Service. Or maybe it's because you are just a good American, realizing that your country needs your help. So, yon have saved tin cans and scrap paper and gasoline and tires. You gave your blood and your money to the Red Cross. You did all those things cheerfully and unselfishly and you still want to do more. Well, Sir, I'm going to ask you to do a little more, but— I'm not going to ask you to donate your service— I’ll pay you for it. You know that we can’t fight this war all over the world without food, lots and lots of food, more and more meat, milk and eggs. Now surely, you also know that in order to produce more food we first have to produce more Feed. We are trying to do that very thing here at McMillen Feed Mills and Central Soya Company, Inc., but we need more help. We need help because 117 of our men have entered the Armed Services. We need help because the Government asks us to produce more and still more of our products. So, we have figured out away for you to help out in this vita! war work. We want you to work for us for only three hours in the evening. from_six £o nine o'clock, and on .Saturday You don’t even have to work every evening or on Saturday mornings, if that is not convenient for you; we will be glad to arrange to suit your convenience. We want you to help us unload cars of soybeans, corn, and other ingredients used in our plants. And. we will pay you—pay you well for this work we ask you to do. Here is your chance to help the war effort and incidentally to help yourself. I urge you to come in and enroll as a Soldier of Production on the home front and help us to produce more Meat, Milk, and Eggs for those who are on our fighting front.
