Plenty Of Grain
In Germany Says
Head Of Food Board

Berlin, June 22.-(via London, 7:4O
p. m.)-There is plenty of grain in
Germany to supply the country I'M
til the hartests, declared Adolph Won
Batocki, president Of the food regu-

Dusseldorf. The potato situation was
more unfavorable, he said, and would
be especially difficult during the next
fortnight, but the deficit could be met

tons for physical laborers. The po-
tato situation in western Germany
had been made worse by Hollands
prohibition upon exports, due to the
agitation there which, Herr Won Ba-
