CHICAGO, May 13-Preliminary
crop reports indicated today Dame
Nature had joined forces with the
American farmer in the program Of
food for victory.
Bumper harvests all along the line
we're forecast, with soil and weather
conditions just about ideal.
On the enemy side of the picture,
the outlook in Axis-dominated parts
of the world took a definitely un-
favorable tinge
The Agriculture Department Crop
Reporting Board said the general
outlook here was decidedly good
in fact. If the weather were only
better. the yield of foodstufis would
be augmented even more" The May
l Government crop report indicated
winter wheat crop Of SAC, ,875 900
bushels and rye harvest of 53,279,-
600 bushels.
Big Wheat Yield Expected.
The area sown to winter wheat
was the smallest except for one year
since 1914, the report said, but with
the smallest acreage abandonment
and highest yield per acre in 10
years. the 1912 crop was expected to
produce % ,000, 900 bushels more than
was indicated a month ago and only
"a ,000, 900 bushels less than the huge
crop Of last year
The yield per acre was estimated
at 17.8 bushels and the department
said there had been only two years
since 1909 in which higher yields
were indicated.
Broomhall the British grain au-
thority, reported on the other hand
that over much of the European
continent winter and spring crops
were backward due to a recent cold,
dry spell.
"As result of the small acreage
planted last fall and the lateness
of spring." the report added. lit is
believed that most countries are
facing thei1 third successive indif-
ferent harvest. In the Danube area,
even with a good growing season.
wheat surpluses are likely to be
very small"
RUSSIAN prospects Good.
OF the Russian situation Broom
hall said There are great posi-
bilities of increased food production
in Siberia, where large areas are
capable of a higher yield per acre
than the Ukraine"
The Agriculture Department ad-
ded the European dairy situation
continued to deteriorate because of
the shortage of concentrated feeds
reduced numbers of cattle, shortage
of farm labor and large acquisitions
by the armies Of invasion.
American butter production for
the week ended May 7 increased 7
per cent over the previous week
and 7.8 per cent over the same week
a year ago. Milk production rose
more than seasonally, or about 4 per
cent above that at the same time
a year ago. 1t reported the number
OF milk cows was about 3 per cent
greater than q year ago and esti-
mated April milk production at
10000 900 pounds or II per cent
higher than the 1936-1940 average.
The number Of young chicks on
farms was estimated at Is per cent
more than year ago and the
April production of hatchers' chicks
was the largest on record, or 20
per cent above the total on April
/, 194l.
Record Egg Production.
A record number Of 1892 900 900
eggs was laid in April, and produc-
ton was II per cent higher than in
April year ago. There were 342,-
5S9 900 layers on farms during April,

All over the Nation, on 80 mil
lions Of apple trees, our largest fruit
crop, apples, is reddening from stem
to calyx, and being gathered,
cleaned, graded, packed and started
toward Americas %, 900 900 pantries,
cellars, cold storages or where are
we?
For five long months, since last
May, the apples have been hanging
on the trees, from blossom through
the stages of green youth. Five
months is a long time to hang from
a tree. Humans can't do it.
Now, with September's crisp sun
shine and cool nights, the apples
have grown up. Their raw starches
have changed to sugars Qevulose,
precisely. Skins are reddening or
turning gold, or both. The "abscis-
sion layer" natures little device for
automatic pple-picking, is swelling.
This corky layer, between apple
stem and twig, gets longer and
longer. Within a couple of weeks
it will literally push the apple
earthward Isaac Newton, rubbing
his hit head, got only part of the
truth. Gravity governs direction,
but natures little device, the abscis-
sion layer, gives the push.
The race to beat the device is on.
Some $4,000, 900, ,O00, 900 of apples are
being plucked all over these United
States to fill 122, 10000 bushels; or,
figuratively, to fill solid train of
250.000 cars. 245 miles long.
Apple picking this fall is real
rush. Government has said, en-
phatically: Food must not be
wasted, and apples are food" But
about so per cent of the orchardist S
usual help is not there; is in the
armed forces, in war-Working plants
or such.
So =. . the women are going out
into the nearby orchards and pack
ing houses, as they did in 1918; the
same women who have responded
so heartily to Governments appeal
to aid the food situation by home
canning. High school is being 'ad-
journed in the orchard belts for
two weeks or so. The apples are
coming. It's apple time again.
From now until April apples will

Spiced Beets Lend
AColorful Touch
To Plain Meal

Sliced beets have the colorful
touch and the 'bitey" taste that
can high light many a meal. 1t is
surprising how many times an other
wise good selection OF food Just
lacks that something to make the
meal outstanding.
You do not need to stand over a
hot kitchen stove to make spiced
beets. No, just make a few at a
time. Start with canned beets, and
the task ceases to be task; instead
it's just simple trick in cooking.
SPICED BEETs.
/ No 2la can beets.
"a cup vinegar.
/ slice onion.
/ tablespoon brown sugar
"a teaspoon salt.
6 whole cloves.
I stick cinnamon.
3 peppercorns.
Drain the liquid from the beets
and add vinegar, onion, sugar, salt
and spices. Simmer 10 minutes:
strain and add beets to the hot
liquid. Cool and let stand over
night before using.
Beets prepared in this manner are
especially good to serve as a relish
and are also good used in vegetable
and fish salads, or served hot with
broiled meats.
II you lack the small amount of
| brown sugar, use white sugar, or
you may find the family likes the
spiced beets without any sweetening
/ at all.
You may find that spices will be
difficult to get, in which case use
the variety of spices that you do
have. No doubt the combination of
cinnamon and cloves is the most
commonly used, and the favorite
one, but that does not mean that it
is the only combination to use
Sometime try making gelatin
ring mold, using the spiced beets and
liquid. Then unmold 1t onto a bed
of salad greens and I'LL the center
with old-fashioned cole slaw, and
surround the outside with sliced
| cold canned meat.

What's more, keeping well depends
on food--the right kind. And how

not to plan-just to grab something

But aside from choosing nice
