Wallace Urges
j. .S.Farmers To
lahore War

Secretary of Agriculture Henry
A. Wallace today issued the follow
ing statement:
American farmers, like all our
citizens, abhor war and will pray
for speedy peace
First of all. of course. the pri-
mary effort of the Department OF
Agriculture, together with all other
branches of the administration. will
be to keep this country out of war.
Secondary to that will be the effort
to protect Americans farmers and
consumers as fully as possible
against the effects of war abroad
War causes economic repercus-
sions in all countries. 1t is only
natural. therefore, that our farmers
at this moment are considering
whether they should modify Their
production plans to meet the new
situation.
urge American farmers to pro-
ceed with their production plans as
II the outbreak in Europe had not
occurred.
American agriculture is in a much
better position to meet the shock OF
war than it was 25 years ago. As
We have kept pointing out, the very
machinery which farmers have used
to adjust production to decreased
demand in peace-time can be used
in wartime to increase production
if and when that becomes advisable

Egg Supply On
Increase, Demand
Shows Boost

Larger supplies of poultry and
eggs than last year continue to fea-
ture the poultry and egg situation,
according to the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics.
Market receipts of dressed poultry
in August were per cent above
last year. Receipts during the re-
mainder of 1899 and early 1910
probably will continue larger than
in the corresponding weeks of the
l938-1939 marketing season because
of the larger laying flocks to be
culled, the increased number Of
young chickens on hand, and the
large increase in turkey production
A United States storage stocks Of
poultry now close to the low point
for the year were "a per cent larger
en- August | than last year Because
of the expected larger marketings
of poultry this fall, it is expected
that storage stocks by January /,
1910, also will exceed those of
year earlier.
The number of eggs in cold stor-
age on August is an important
factor affecting fall and early win
ter egg prices. Combined holdings
of she'll and frozen eggs on August
| this year were per cent above
last year but 9 per cent below the
l928-37 average. Egg production
during the fall of 1899 will prob
ably continue about the same or
slightly larger than last year.
The ratio between feed prices
and egg prices in August continued
slightly more favorable to egg pro-
ducers than the i928-37 average
but less favorable than in the same
period last year. On the basis OF
the August l crop report, it ap-
pears that relative feed costs NAV
continue less favorable than last
year but more favorable than the
10-year average.

You Can Reduce Without
Taking Joy Out Of Life

A reducing diet does not
necessarily take the joy out
of life.
On the contrary, writes Katha-
rine Fisher, noted writer, it adds
to it in the form of trim figure
and a new feeling of well-being.
Miss Fisher points out that in
recommending a reducing pro-
gram doctors warn patients about
the perils of restricted diet. So
you may continue eating most of
the foods you like but cut down
on the quantity of high calorie
foods. These include cream, but
ter, and other fats, sweets, and
foods relatively high in starch like
potatoes, cereals, breadstuffs, and
macaroni.
The proper diet really amounts
to the question of budgeting your
ealorieS and to that end Miss
Fisher prepared a list of foods
and adapted them to meals.
Generous use has been made
of the low-calorie foods such as
leafy green vegetables and fruit;
for, being bulky, they give you a
feeling of satisfaction without
adding up the calories and they
contribute richly to the vitamins
and minerals in your diet.
All that is necessary, these ex-
perts say, is watch your calories".
A well-known dietician, Dr.
Walter H. Eddy, analyses the pit
falls of reducing. Before you
start any reducing diet, get the
answer to why you are fat, says
the eminent scientist. "You may
be gland case or you may be a
constitutionally obese type, or
you may be fat simply because
you are overating and underex-
erciSing".
Certain dangers that physicians
have pointed out must be watch
ed and avoided, DR.. Eddy says.
"See your doctor before you be-
gin any routine, is sound med
zeal advice and should be carried
out, according to the article.
Pointing out that the basic prin-
ciple of any reducing regimen is
merely Eat less food than you
burn up, DR.. Eddy says that on
such basis you force your body
to get some of its fuel from the
storedup fat, and weight newt
ably begins to decline. BY in
creasing your exercise you further
