J -i * Higher livestock Feed Output Asked Shifts In Planting Sought Os Farmers WASHINGTON, UP — The gov-, ernment wants; farmers to make some drastic shifts in planting next year, but keep overall production as high as this year’s nearrecord harvest. 1 The most badly needed crops, according to 1953 crop goals announced by secretary of agriculture Charles F Brannan Monday, are livestock feed grains to supply sufficient meat, eggs’ and dairy products -for thft growing population. / . . Expanding these crops makes it necessary to cut output of cotton, wheat and oilseed crops, he said. - , Brannan said “to aim at anything less than the very high production level of rece,nt years would be foolhardy during a period of national emergency.’’ He said “no ether weapon in {democacy’s arsenal is more powerful” or essential than foodT. , . He called for a one percent boost in corn production next year; a five percerit gain in oats; a 123 percent boost in grain sdr-> ghujns; a 13 percent slash in cotton abd flaxseed; a five percent * .st irf soybeans; a nine percent ,qgt in dry edible'beans; two Jer-. «nt*. tame hay, and rice mtpiit equal to this year’s crop: '7 ‘ \ • Brannan did not 'boost th allwheat- goal announced last July, in spite of prospects that drought will cut the winter wheat crop- to only 611,151,000 bushels, down 42 percent from this year and th© smallest in 10 Ty ears. He said that without any increase in spring wheat output there will be “ample” left over stocks of 500,000*000 bushels of wheat July 1, 1954, after the coming season’s needs are met. The reserves added to the short crop, he said, should be sufficient to take care of the coyntry's needs.
