better than in any past year.
Even so. said Wickard, the
demands upon American food
and fiber are so great that we
will not have enough to give ev-
eryone all the food he or she
wants.
1t now behooves us TO con-
serve this amount carefully in
view of the great needs and de-
mands upon us by our soldiers
and Allies all over the world.
These demands are tremen-
dous-so tremendous that even
the productivity of the American
farmers cannot meet all Of
them"
He also said agriculture would
face production difficulties with
labor getting scarcer and curtail-
ed production of farm machin-
cry, insecticides and fertilizers
which require materials needed
for the war machine-metals,
mineral oils and nitrate.
Wickard added, however, that
American farmers were win
ming the battle of production ov-
er the Axis and pointed particu-
larly TO the large vegetable oil
crop.
1--WE lost a billion pounds Of
fats and oils (when the Japs con-
quered the Far EasD for that
was the amount ordinarily i'm
ported" he said. The producers
of soybeans, flaxseed, cotton
seed and peanuts have more than
made up this loss this year.
The crop reporting board esti-
mated the oil crops should total
100000 tons, including 6,252,-
600 of cottonseed, 6,344 900 of
soybcans, ,465, 900 of peanuts
and 100000 of flaxseed.
Grain estimates, based on the
September condition, included
3,016, 100000 bushels of corn,
982, 900, 900 bushels of wheat, l.
100000 bushels of oats,
100000 bushels of barley
and 100000 bushels of grain
sorghum.
There seems every reason to
expect the production of live
stock and livestock products to
continue higher Ethan in past
years until new crop and pas
ture season develops" the board
said.
With average weather, the
board said final surveys should
show record production of grain,
hay, oilseeds, beans, peas, sugar
crops, fruits and vegetables, a
large cotton crop and about av
erage crops of potatoes, sweet
potatoes and tobacco.

fought furiously today to smash the

Muar River, TO miles north Of Singa-
pore.
(Reports received in London
said the Australians had cleaned

Northern Johore State)
Acticn Planned Under Tree.
The action by which the British
command hoped to dislodge the jap
anese from strong positions in
Northern Johore, where the battle
probably will be decided, was
planned under the shade Of a rubber
tree. Generals sat on the ground
around maps in a council of war.
Japanese planes were overhead al
most the entire time, but there were
no interruptions Of the deliberations.
While the generals bent over their
maps their aides stood by with load

a detachment Of troops sprawled un-

for action.

And when he did see her and tel
her he was sorry, as of course he
would, she was going to be quite
firm about any future interference
from Hank.
The only trouble with that pro-
gram was that if Scott wanted 10
ask forgiveness this time, as he
had done twice before when they
had quarreled. he wasn't doing
anything about it.
SCOTS remaining away at this
time was particularly hard to bear
The following Tuesday was her
birthday and Scott had bought two
third row orchestra seats for a
smash theater hit in honor of the
occasion.
What was she to do with the
extra ticket now?
At seven on Tuesday evening
Chevy, hoping she didn't look as
nervous as she felt, stepped off the
elevator, marched down the hall to
Sc and rang the bell. Scott was
usually in at this hour. But the
man who opened the door and
stood gazing at her appreciatively
wasn't Scott.
He didn't nave anything ] k @
SCOTS rather conventional good
looks, either. He was big and vital
and attractively homely and could
be no other, thought Chevy, than

asked.

gretfully.

he asked.

She fumbled in her bag for the
tickets. And then the very worst
thing that could possibly happen
happened! And before the very
last person in the world she would
choose for an audience! Chevy
burst into tears
For heavens sake! said Hank
and reached out and drew her
gently into the apartment and
closed the door. "Sit here" he
said. pointing TO the sofa. "I'H
