Abstract:
Surplus food, which the Department of Agriculture could not sell, was siphoned into a federally controlled surplus food program that had a hierarchy of distribution; first the school lunch program, then eligible citizens, and lastly to foreign nations. As of October 1960, no county in the state participated but arrangements for such a program were being established between the State Board of Public Welfare and the Department of Agriculture.
