Soil moisture, both surface and subsoil, was ample to excessive ia almost all parts of the state. the chief exception being in the coastal bend. Another week of heavy rains throughout northwestern area was very unfavorable for cotton. Maturity continued slow and reports of Quality damage were general over the area. Harvest neared completion and only late planted cotton and remnants remained to be picked in the southern, southeastern, central and eastern districts.

Ginning days have been set in most of the counties of these districts. Seeding of fall grains was possible in much of the state, and many sections reported good stands and good growth thus far. In the northwest, including the chief wheat-growing area, continued rains kept fields too wet, while disposal of weeds and volunteer grain remained a serious problem. Practically no progress in seeding fall crops was made in the northwest during the week.

Wickard Opposes Parity loans Declares It Might Interfere With Production Aims WASHINGTON Secretary Wickard declared Wednesday that he.

would oppose proposed legislation authorizing 100 per cent parity loans for basic farm crops because he fears it would interfere with the Agriculture Department's efforts to secure a record production of food next year. Government loans at 85 per cent of parity are authorized for this'year's production of the basic crops, which are cotton, corn, wheat, rice and tobacco. The rate would be increased in future years parity under -a bill approved by the House Agriculture Committee. "The whole 'food-for-defense' program is based upon the 85 per cent loan level," Wickard 'said in an interview. "A change in that rate would upset the program because of its effect upon corn prices." Under the food program, farmers are being urged to produce all they can of such products as pork, beef cattle, milk, poultry, eggs, and some fruits and vegetables, so that abundant supplies might be available not only for Americans but for Britons and others resisting aggression.

Wickard explained that corn was the "fundamental" crop in the It is the most important feed for hogs, cattle, and chickens. Farmers can be expected to feed corn abundantly only when there is a margin of profit, he said, between the price of feed and the price of livestock, dairy and poultry products. The 85 per cent loan program, he added, has tended to- stabilize corn and other feed grain. prices at levels which, on the basis of present livestock, poultry and dairy prices, encourage greater production.
