FOOD OUTLOOK
FOR GERMANY IS
UNUSUALLY GOOD
Grain Crops Better Than 1915
and Number of Cattle and
Hogs Increases Potato
Crop Slightly Short
t.~ nosn,sa JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wIpsi

Berlin, Jan. 16 (by Wireless to Say
ville) Germany food prospects at
present are equal to those during the
first two years of the war; says an
Overseas News agency statement to-
day, which reads;
"In reply to recent attempts TO
make out Germany's food situation as
critical, or even dangerous, the follow
ing figures are given on the best or
authority:
"The German grain crops of the
present year exceed those of the pre-
ceding year by 100000 tons. of which
1900, 600 tons are bread corn. This
act proves that Germany, for which
last years crop was sufficient. will be
able to get along even better with the
crop of this year. This also is demon
strated by the extra allowances made
for youths and hard working persons.
"As to the potato crop, which is
considerably inferior on the average,
the deficiency will be covered for the
most part by the excellent beet crop.
At the same time, the allowance for
mailing purposes has been decided at
so per cent, which permits of the set
ting aside as food for the population
of such quantities of barley that the
shortage of potatoes Is more than OIL
set
",rhe stocks of horned cattle In Ger
many have increased since the begin
ming of 1916 more than 100000 head,
or 81 per cent? of hogs, almost 4,ooo,-
600, or 294 per cent These tlgures
indicate that Germany is entitled TO
count with certainty on an increase IN
the supplies of milk and fats, and TINS
Al l.
mania guarantees at least an increase
in fodder supplies.
'.The possibilities of provisioning
Germany are therefore in no wise in
ferior to those of the first two years
of tha war"
