Plans for the relief OF the 100000
Belgians and French people now with
In territory occupied by the Germans
contemplate the shipment in the next
twelve months OF 1850, 900 bushels OF
wheat, 100000 bushels Of beans,
100000 bushels Of rice 26,400,000
pounds OF corned beef, OF 100000
pounds Of pork products, 66,000,O00
pounds of soap 26,000,000 pounds Of
coffee, 100000 pounds of cocoa,
55,000000 pounds Of condensed milk
and 100000 pounds of sugar.
This amount of food, together with
the native produce, gives an average
ration of about 1000 calories-about
half the consumption of the American
people.
This program Is estimated to cost
during the twelve months, for purchase
and transportation, approximately
2S0,000,000. The finance has been ar
ranged on the basis Of advances to be
made by loans from the United States
to the Belgian and French govern
ments in amounts sufficient to pay for
the material purchased in the United
States. The British and French gov
ernments are advancing in Europe the
sums necessary to meet the expendl-
lures made there for shipping and for
foodstufts coming from other quarters
than the United States.
In addition to the feet controlled by
the relief commission the United
States and allied governments are plac-
ing at its disposal 100000 tons of ship
ping recently obtained from the Swed-
ish government for nonwar zone pur-
poses. The commission announces
that besides the food which 1t intends
furnishing these stricken people there
will be needed for them about 10000
tons Of clothing and cloth. Through
the cooperation Of the Red Cross
about 5000 tons of these supplies have
been collected and the work of collec-
ton still continues.

farmers save young hens and pullets,
so they will be on hand for stock in
the spring. The stock of poultry has
been reduced considerably this fall by
a widespread sale. for market, OF
young hens and pullet;. Therefore, it
is necessary to conserve stock now,
or else the shortage may interfere Sc

In view of the stock shortage, to kill
