 OUTPUT INCREASING SAYS GOVT. REPORT

SAN FRANCISCO, May With broad spirit of general cooperation and strict practical adherence to the "plant the limit" slogan, it will be pos sible to have a surplus of food so es- sential both to this country and to the warning allies. This is the conclusion reached in it's review of general bus mess conditions in the Twelfth federal Reserve district in bulletin issued to- day. The report says in part:
 Copper production, particularly from Arizona and Utah, and lead from Idaho, is steadily increasing to meet war needs as are quicksilver, tungsten, manganese and other rare metals from California; ship timbers from Oregon and Washington; live stock and wool from Oregon, Utah, Idaho and Nevade, and a vast variety of food crops.
 Food reserves have been well nigh exhausted. Onions are being imported from Australia; single shipment of beans from Japan was valued at ST. 100000. Potatoes, the crop of which was much below normal, are in meager supply, partly because of heavy ship ments to the East. Stocks of canned vegetables and canned fruits are prac- tically sold out and advance sales have already been made of the principal part of the coming seasons pack.
 Growth is nearly a month behind the normal due to damage by frost and deficient precipitation.
 "In Idaho the number of cattle, sheep and hogs available for sale this year will probably be 10 per cent be- low normal. In Nevada, particularly in the northern part, losses have been heavier than at any time since the winter of 1889-90, and may run as high as 25 per cent. Because of the backward spring, grass has been very slow in starting and because of this there may be further losses. In Utah there has also been considerable loss because of excessive cold and lack of feed.
 Heavy snows, however, while caus- ing loss of live stock, assure abundance of irrigation water, with correspond ing certainty of crops dependent upon it.
 Conditions in California generally are quite favorable from the stand point of considerably increased acre age and good present condition of growing crops.
 "Apricots, peaches and almonds have suffered some damage from frost but the outlook is generally favorable for full fruit crops.
 Mining continues extremely active, hampered somewhat by scarcity of labor and shortage of cars"
