USE LESS WHEAT.

The allied nations have made
further increased demands on
us for breadstuffs - demands
that Americans are obligated to
meet.
In the meantime Americas
meat supply has been greatly
increased for some months to
come by the unprecedented
shipping to market of hogs that
averaged 232 pounds each in
stead of 203 pounds-the nor
NAL.
The United States Food Adj
ministration, endeayoring to adj
just the International food ball
ance, promptly removed certain
restrictions in this country on
the use of meat and at the same
time asked for a smaller con-
sumption of breadstuffs.
We are asked TO observe only
one meatless day each week
Tuesday. We will have larger
meat stocks for awhile. But
our bread ration must be held
to a minimum.
In altering its food conserva-
ton program the Food Admin
istration emphasizes that the
food situation is of necessity,
subject to radical changes,
caused by crop conditions at
home and abroad and by the
precarious transportation prob
lem, both in overseas shipping
and In Americas overburdened
transportation system.
The Food Administration will
keep the American people fully
and frankly advised of each
change in the developing situa-
ton that they may know def
nitely the part their food sac
rifces play in the world war.

was the statement recently made by Vice President R. c. Rueschaw of the Mitchell Motors company, Inc, of Ra- cine, Wis. "The very reverse is, in fact, the case because we are all fight ing tooth and nail against the inevit able price increases forced by rapidly increasing manufacturing costs.
 For long time the material situa- ton has been hard nut to crack. With steeel makers and other sup pliers boosting their production to meet wartime requirements it has beeen hard enough to get any kind of material. But when you consider that in building a car like the Mitchell only tthe highest grades of materials can be used you will begin to get some idea of of raw material and the pricees that must be paid for it.
 Job Is No Easier
 "The labor situation hasn't made the job any easier. You can't take a mill lion and a half or two million of our young men away from the working forces of the country and not feel a sharp shortage all along the line. In the Mitchell plant for instance, we have found it is cheaper to employ SOOu HIGH at BOOu WdScS. otcp ny step, piece by piece and car by car it actually costs less to build an auto mobile with alert, intelligent men than with the lower and cheaper grades of labor. Therefore as the quality of the men available sinks the labor cost rises and it is becoming harder to get good men at any price.
 With such reasonable excuses as backing there is scarcely an industry on earth that would not relieve a short age of merchandise by an artificial price boost. Indeed, with a lively de- mand and short supply the old law of supply and demand would inevitably bring about such an increase in price without much assistance from the manufacturer.
 Industry Stands Firm But in the automobile industry we are standing firm. Prices must in. crease, of course. We can't tell when such increases will hit us. But so long as we are able we are holding prices down. When the raise comees it will be no false or artificial one, arbitrar- | fly made to increase profits and re- lieve the market will be due to nc longer escapeable increases in every manufacturing cost"

TRACTORS CHEAPER
 THAN LABOR
By ERNEST G. COAN Advertising Mgr. Pratt Gilbert Go.

There's a practical answer to every practical problem. Every difficulty in warfare is met with little delay. So is every difficulty in industry, in time of stress. It is the same with agri- culture. We have heard much lately regarding the hopelessness of trying to raise big crops under present con- ditions because of the lack of labor. A leading French farm publication tells us that great importance is placed on increased mechanical culture of the soil as an economic benefit to their country. That blowing and harvest ing have been accomplished in one French canton at the rate of 72k acres in total of 75 hours. That ten trac- tors with 20 workmen, working two shifts in twenty-four hours, replace from 104 to 150 teams and as many workmen.
 Should Observe France
 What the French people are accom- plishing under very adverse conditions, the American farmer should do.
 The editor of little upstate newspaper gives us the natural an- swer that machinery is coming into it's own. He says, "a farmer can buy a tractor for from $500 up. He can install a thirty COW milking machine for about $400. If this tractor Is of the right make. he needs no other engine. and here he has in a great measure solved the labor problem at a very small investment"
 In the good old days of the farming business, there was plenty of labor but little machinery. Now the lack of la bor is at least made up by the great increase of available motor service machinery and even expensive ma- chinery costs less now than cheap la- bor used to.
