WHEATLESS WEEKS,
FARMER WARNS

Whestless weeks, instead OF wheat
less days are ahead of the nation I'M
less something is done to increase
production. c. H. Hyde. Okla. farmer
and member Of the Oklahoma defense
council told the Senate Agriculture
Committee today.
Hyde also said that a misconcep-
ton OF the Food Administrations
withdrawing order would prevent q
large per cent OF city gardeners all
over the country raising their own
produce.
They think that the Government
might take a part Of it for their
neighbor," said Hyde. Farmers
wives, and, in fact, most women, arel
afraid to can stuff for the same reR-
son"
The price on everything should be
fixed or price fixing not attempted"
he declared.
The wheatless and meatless days
prescribed by the food administra-
tion, Hyde declared. were discourage
ing farmers and meat growers.
They feel that these days tend to
reduce consumption OF the products
they are asked to increase" he said.
