AZ emphasizing the need of addi-

growth in recent times of food manu-

knew about the conditions of its prep

laws. Today. as so much food is pro-

government control is regarded by de-

greater value than the steel industry.

When ii comes to providing her
children with warm coats to protect
them from the cold of northern win
ters, nature is most generous, espe-
cially with sheep. These animals, more
delicate than most, take on coat in
the fall that protects them from the
winter weather, but shepherds have
discovered that healthy flock must
be provided with shelter against winds
and dampness.
Before they were domesticated sheep
lived in sections where shelter was
abundant. Now that man has taken
them from their natural surroundings
he should provide for their needs.
