Plans to

(0* rr«M>
The nation will learn late
today whether U. S. farmers
think they will be able to
meet the record crop acre-
age goals needed to allevi-
ate the world's critical food
shortages. The Agriculture
Department plans to release
a report on the total acreage
farmers intend to plant this
year.
The report will be based
on a nation-wide survey,
and it may have far-reach-
ing implications for Ameri-
cans as well as for hungry
people abroad. Should the
findings of the survey indi-
tna* plantings will fall
short of production
als set by the Agriculture
epartment. the result
might will be an early re-
turn to rationing of some
foods in the United States.
' Food officials at firat discount-
ed this possibility when the pres-
ent emergency arise last month,
