AGRICULTURE
According to the Agricultural Sit
uation, farmers are now making
spring planting decisions, for an
other year of Top Agricxiltural pro
duction* The 1945 goals totaling
3$ above that planted in 1944 will
serve as guides, but the final de
cision rests with each farmer.
Total demand for 1945 output of
American farms will continue strong
Pacific food requirements will in
crease as the weeks go by. Stocks
of many important agricultural com
mo. dities are being consumed at a
heavier rate than usual, so that by
the time production of 1945 becomes
available, the Nations inventory of
these commodities may be consider
ably less than a desirable reserve*
If goals rre met, the 1945 agricul
tural production would be, it is
now estimated, about a fourth larg
er than 1935-39 average, but 5 to
10$ below the record output of 1944,
