Toward Bigger Food Supplies

Toward Bigger Food supplies
eff everyone in the country were
choosing and buying what our nutri-
ton experts call good diet, we would
need 20 per cent more milk, Is per cent
more butter, 35 per cent more eggs,
70 per cent more tomatoes, oranges,
grapefruit, and 100 per cent more
vegetables of the leafy, green or yell
low kind" Donald f. Montgomery,
Consumers Counsel of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, said in re-
cent radio broadcast.
Right now, if farmers were to pro-
duce these additional quantities Of
body building, health-protecting foods
they wouldn't be able to sell them at
a fair price. That's because these
consumers are not fully employed ir
industry and trade, producing the
goods and services which they and all
of US need and want When they are
employed and have the money, we car
be sure agriculture will have the re-
sources in land and man and machine
power to produce all we can use, anC
at the same time conserve our soil anc
provide reserve supplies against baG
years.
Meanwhile, however, we have sur
plus farm supplies of some foods anc
insufficient food supplies for some con.
sumers. Foods that are surplus be.
cause farmers can't sell them and con.
sumers can't buy them. That's why
the Department of Agriculture is help
ing consumers to buy extra foods out
of farmers surplus stocks.

Look Before You Buy Apples
Fall time means apple time, but tt

get the best values both for eating ant
for cooking.
Getting navorful apples - which
after all, is what most consumers are
after when they buy this fruit for eat
ing-means spotting the apples tina
are fully ripe, firm, and without de
fects, says the GUIDE. Flavor alst
depends to certain extent on the va
riety of the apple. Immature apples
are good for cooking, but not if yol
want good flavor in an eating apple
You can tell an immature apple by IT.
poor color If unripe apples are stored
for any length of time, they may sooI
look shriveled.
At the other end Of the apple scale
is the overripe apple. These give
when pressed, have soft mealy flesh
and lack the snap and crispness tha
characterize good eating apple.
Apples on the market from Decem
ber through the winter and SprlnI
may develop 'scalid' or browns spot
caused by gases given off during stor
age or while the apples are in trans
port. Such brown spots are DANCE
signs, meaning poor quality.
Don't buy apples with mealy o
brown flesh. You can spot these de
fects by apples that feel soft or loo
bruised As the apple season move
into the winter months, this defec
becomes more common when storage
not carefully provided.
Apples that have been frozen o
bruised soon turn brown, and thei
skins take on leathery look. A mil
freeze may not injure the apples eat
ing quality, but it will damage it
keeping quality.

Hope Seen For
Processing
Tax Support

Washington, Feb. 5.-(AP)-Ad-
-ministration farm leaders expressed
the belief today that President ROose-
Welt could be induced to support pro-
cessinp taxes to raise farm aid funds
if the major agriculture organizations
would unite behind such program.
This expression was linked with
efforts of Secretary Wallace to win
the Endorsement of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, for the So
called Income certificate" plan Of
processing taxes advocated by the
Farmers Union.
Some leaders said that House ac-
ton last week in cutting Agriculture
Department appropriations S66,92S,-
435 below what President Roosevelt
had asked might go long way to-
ward bringing the farm organizations
together.
The powerful Farm Bureau Fed
ovation has asked Congress to APP
nropriate S607, 100000 for parity pay
ments in addition to the S5OO,OOO,OOO
for soil conservation payments.
With congressional economy SEN
timent running high farm bloc lead
ers saw little hope for obtaining
parity payments.

after The European war.
Gandhi, the communiquc SAID,
made it plain that the British pro-
posal did not meet the demands OF
