The 1942 acreage goals for cotton and fobacco were little changed from 1941. The. wheat goal was placed at betYveen 50„tc) 55 million acres, compart with an estimate of 83,- 503,000 this year. Increased acreage goals were set for sweet potatoes, potatoes and conunercial vegetables. Since fruit production can not be quickly increased, the department said emphasis would be on better distribution and prevention of waste. Wickard said the 1942 goal pro vided for a total farm production 15 per cent higher than the 1925- 29 average and about two per cent higher than this year. He added that total British needs for the United States farm products were expected to amount to about six to eight per cent of this coun try’s production, and that all exports might amount to as much as eight to ten per cent of total production.
