This young h0memaker is chOOs-
ing her dinner vegetables from the
wide variety sent to market every
day by the nations farmers. Her
family will get plenty of vitamins.
She must steer her food buying so
that supplies may be used to the
best advantage and at the same
time provide the highest consumer
satisfaction.
The individual buyer these days
must think always of her purchases
as they relate to those of the "a
million other American housewives
what the result would be if that
buying were multiplied by "a mil
lion. Would it create new scarcity or
make a scarce food non-existent?
Or would it have the effect of uti-
lizing the foods that are available
in abundance?
Alarm over possible increased
food costs has been evidenced by
some homemakers. The retail cost
of a basket of foods, representing
annual family purchases, amounted
to $405 in September, 1912, an in
crease of $73 over the price of the
same foods in the period from 1886
80, but the cost was still $40 lower
than in 1929.
Workingmen's families today can
buy basket of specified food prod
ucts for the smallest share of family
income on record since 1918. In Sep
TENDER, 1912, it required only % per
cent of the family income. During
the preceding five years the same
food basket accounted for ~ per
cent of the income. Average family
income has been rising more rapid
ly than food prices during the last
three years and through the first 10
months of 1912. Reasons include
higher wage rates, more hours of
work per week with overtime pay
ments, and more persons employed.
The family averaging five persons
this fall reached q wage level 81 per
cent higher than the pre-war aver
age for 1859.
This seems to indicate that the
housewives food problems will not
be those of capacity to buy but rath-
er of the markets ability to supply
her needs.
Reaching her goal-iust as the
farmer meets his production goal
will mean that scarcity of some par
ticular type of food win be a mat
ter of unconcern to any American,
so long as he is able to eat what he
needs.

Women Purchasers Can Aid Us. Farmers

just took it for granted. Curtail-
ment of shipping, due to the war, cut
off important sources of raw ma
terials, of which sugar is one. At
the same time, industrial uses OF
sugar have increased.
Today's price ceiling on sugar,
however, is lower than might have
been expected. For this the buyer
can thank a sugar program which
provides payments to growers that
are helping them step UP produc-
ton.
Conservation on the farm may
seem a far cry from top quality let
tuce or potatoes or green beans. It
may seem even farther from tender
meats or milk rich in butter fat.
And farther still from lower prices.
But farmers know, and consum-
ers should be aware, that soil-build-
ing and soil-conserving practices
mean larger yields and better quail
ty. Well-nourished land produces
better crops than depleted soil.
WholesOmeness Guaranteed.
Regulatory laws administered by
the United States department of ag-
riculture directly affect homes and
consumer income and buying power.
Consumers are protected against
mis-branding, substitutions and swim
ding by the Pure Food and Drug
act. 1t provides a safeguard for
wholesome foodstuffs, thereby pro-
tecting both health and pocketbook.
Research activities of the depart
ment are equally related to consum-
er interests. Sixty-five research
Laboratories" have experiments
constantly in process.
They don't just develop cloth from
milk and plastics from soybeans.
They also determine methods of in
creasing production and strengthen
ing the quality of farm products.
Foods are carefully analysed by
experts so that their vitamin and
mineral content can be accurately
given. Nutrition studies set up min
inum food requirements, show how
they may be met at the least cost
and what available foods may be sub
stituted for those on the scarce list
or headed that way.
Steering Food Purchases.
These nutrition studies are of par
ticular interest to the housewife. She
is faced with the problem of provid-
ing her family with enough to eat
to maintain health and efficiency.

Since Pearl Harbor, the consumer
picture has undergone radical
changes. Scarcity" "ceiling price"
and 'rationing" have become COM
mon words.
Food is no longer readily
available il the housewife has
the price to pay. Some Of her
old time staples are on the
"scarce" list, items such as tea,
bananas, coffee and sugar.
Of-the-farm consumers, the urban
group, comprise over rs per cent of
the population of the United States.
F'oodstuffs and clothing combined
account for about 40 per cent of ev-
cry dollar spent by the average ur-
ban family.
It is therefore obvious that at no
previous time has women's good
management in buying been more
important.
Give Consumer Protection.
Urging consumers-and remem-
Der that means women-to take
heed of the farmers problems,
brings out the little-known fact that
the u. S. department of agriculture
in return does not forget consumer
protection in its farming for free

When the housewife buys fresh
vegetables from day to day, she
isn't likely to think much about the
fact that the vegetables arrived on
season schedule, that they were in
sufficient quantity and that the price
was fright" It's only when those
conditions didn't exist that she
might begin to wonder how her ta-

homes, prevention Of market search
ties and glutted markets, and pro-
vision of benefits in price and quail
ity.
The Victory Specials, an
nounced from week to week, are
part of this plan. They use
up products which are plentiful,
often preventing waste and loss
to the farmer, and allowing the
buyer to take advantage of diet
variations at better price.
Whether or not the consumers
needs are met really depends upon
the accuracy with which produc-
ton has been scheduled to obtain an
adequate and steady, supply of food
at prices fair alike to producers and
consumers. This is the consumers
best insurance against the problems
of scarcity.
Something known as acreage al
lotment" is now being used to in
crease production of certain crops
needed for the war, part of the
change-over from normal peace-time
farming to about war production.
The farmer is converting his fields
to war production just as surely as
the manufacturer turns his machines
from automobiles to airplanes.
Production without adjustment
would be inexcusable waste at any
time. In wartime it is criminal.
What Crop Reserves Do.
Probably Mrs. Average Housewife
wouldn't be able to tell you what an
Ever-Normal granary is-but she's
enjoying the advantages of living
under a farming system that pro-
vides for crop reserves. In recent
years, lots of wheat, corn and other
products have been stored against
a time when crops might be smaller
or demands greater. When drouth
once pushed corn production as
much as 40 per cent below normal,
meat prices skyrocketed and con-
suners suffered hardships. But now
with the Ever-Normal granary's
stored reserves of more than Is per
cent of normal years crop, there
is plenty of feed to convert into
meat, eggs, and dairy products.
''Crop insurance" has a formi-
dable sound, but it is simple
procedure that pays big divi-
dends to the consumer as well as
to the producer who meets the
premiums. Such insurance keeps
farmers in business producing
needed goods by guaranteeing
them, for example, some wheat
or cotton income every year
even if a crop fails. This pro-
lection gives farmers the as
surance they need to 60 in for
production Of critical war crops.
That's consumer protection for ev-
erybody, even if it doesn't occur to
the woman who buys loaf Of bread.
Housewives are currently faced
with the necessity of cutting down

their regular purchases that they

They will need all the help they
can get from the consumer at home
If they are to continue to fill steadily
growing lend-lease orders from the
United Nations.
The consumer is a woman.
If you're a man, you'll probably
say, Hey! What about me?"
Well, Mister, you're practically
nobody when it comes to deciding
what you'll eat and what you'll wear.
Women buy 80 per cent of the
food sold and rs per cent of the
clothing. Further than that, they
influence almost all customer pur-
chasing.
This is where the housewife
can offer one of the greatest
contributions to winning the
war. She can see to it that the
diet of her family fits in with
farm production and the short
ages created by the war. She
should be informed on the prob
LENS involved in producing the
goods she wants and getting
them into her hands.

In Defense Class

Mrs. Ethel Alshouse of FL Centre,
housewife and mother of two chill
dren, is the only woman to avail
herself of the training offered in
the defense courses at Central Un-
ion High school in Ell Centre, it was
revealed Friday.
The classes were thrown open to
women for the first time last week
the training course before that
time being reserved for men. The
classes are free and are held daily
from 3 pm. to midnight under the
supervision of Harry Hillman.
Clad in blue denim overalls and
flat heeled shoes, Mrs. AlshouSe Is
beginning to learn the whatfor and
whyfor of a great variety of ma

to be the best allotted to any defense
training course il California.
Among the various machines she
is becoming familiar with are mill
ing machine and its equipment
which represent total value of
$4,000, a shaper, an air compressor,
a power saw, drill presses and lathes.
She said she would like to have
some other women enroll in the
class and fit themselves for en-
ployment in defense industries as
it is a little lonesome being the only
woman in the class.
Asked how she could manage to
attend the classes when she has a
home and a family to look after,
