States raised 20 million more hogs
this year than ever before and that
the production of eggs would be
about 600 million dozen over last

Beef Shortage Imminent.
There is enough wheat in the ever
normal granary to last two average
years without adding more. he said.
He warned that next year the farm
manpower situate would be seri-
out and that as many skilled work.
ers as possible must be left on farms.

shown the way of federation and
that way can help ease the difIi-
