STABILIZATION OF VEGETABLE MARKETS AIM OF WAR FOOD ADMINISTRATION

Food Front at Home Gets Additional Attention as Army Plants Victory Gardens in Camps

With the 1943 crop of fresh Vegetables beginning to move in Seasonal abundance, the War Food Administration last week announced steps designed to help growes maintain favorable marketing conditions for their produce and provide for the most effective utilization of available Supplies. At the same time the Department of Agriculture announced that the Army and Navy are lending a hand on the food front at home by planting hundreds of acres in victory gardens at training camps, hospitals, and other military establishments throughout the country, the War Food Administrat’ n said-, last week.

! As a further step in the direction of making the most of the Nation’s feed resources, the WFA advised poultrymen not to make further expansions in commercial broiler production. This action was taken to supplement a previous statement of the War Food Administration Which advised hog producers not to increase breeding for 1943 fall farrowings by more than 15 percent above the 1942 level.

j VEGETABLE SUPPLIES

In announcing the proposed Steps for the stabilization of vegetable markets, WFA officials said that while fresh vegetables generally have been in short supply during the spring months, they should be in increasingly plentiful quantites as the summer season advances.

Consumer demand for fresh vegetables is heavy and should result in an outlet for a large production. It is possible, however, that producers will need assistance in moving some of the commodities during mid- Season harvest peaks, so that valuable foods will not be vasted.

When a fresh vegetable is in heavy supply, WFA will cooperate with grower, trade, and consumer groups in focusing

attention on that particular product. Retailers will \>e asked to feature it in their stores and consumers will be urged to make full use of it while supplies are plentiful. This, it was pointed out, will help relieve the demand on products in shorter supply.

Carrots and snap beans are in large supply at the present time, and assistance has been given in moving these products from producing areas. Peas and tomatoes soon will be coming to market in greater quantities. In addition to these, it may be necessary to assist in the marketing of spinach, sweet corn, cabbage and onions, and possibly some other crops, in order to prevent food vaste.

BINDERS FOR HARVEST

During the week the WFA also announced that farmers can expect to have reasonable supplies of hay rope, binder twine and other cordage for harvesting their 1943 crops.

A large part of all such supplies, however, is now being made from substitute materials and will require more careful handling than in the past. While it is believed that supplies will be adequate, farmers are cautioned to buy only in quantities they actually need for the harvesting season. They are also urged to conserve supplies they now have on hand to lighten the demand for new materials.

WFA officials in charge of production supply programs indicated that approximately 200 million pounds of binder twine will be available this year. This includes 100 million pounds of inventory and carry-over stocks from 1943 production and about 100 million pounds to be manufactured Under a special indemnity payment program announced recently by the Department of Agriculture.

The Country Mistaken for India

Many, many years ago, —

With the break of dawn,

A ship set out upon its path,

For India it was bound.

For weeks and months the ship sailed Upon the ocean blue;

But on one morn at break of dawn,

The land came into view

The men on board were filled with joy —

A carefree company,

They built their homes upon new land,

To form a colony,

They found the country of America,

On October 12, 1942;

The event we still commemorate;

America, we’re brave and true.

Only the farmer seems to really understand how critical the food situation is and that is why he feels he is doing the patriotic thing when he takes a fighting stand through his organizations, on the vital question of farm labor, supplies, prices and production. It is part of the big job of winning the war and he knows it. Not only the farmers but the whole nation may thank God for the farm organizations, when this war is^over.--------------v-------------A resident of Cleveland, Ohio, has invented fireproof metal Venetian blinds to completely enclose a residence porch to add another room to a house.

BE 100% WITH YOUR

Cherry Orchard

Swing high — swing low —

Over the dew-sweet grass wind-shake of petal Like snow from spring-piled branches!

In the bend of the road white windrows.

In the rut of the wheel white float of flower.

Short rain, returning sun, bee-brush of pollen —

And in the ripening year Beneath the veined and pointed hang of leaf

Round-red of cherry.

Clustered and stain-smooth The first tree-offering of Earth and Sun!
