FOODS
Increased supplies of canned pine
apple, canned grapefruit juice, aspar-
agus, corn, pumpkin, spinach, toma-
toes, beans, and figs will reach retail
markets within a few weeks, the War

MORE FARM MACHINERY
An improved outlook for new farm
machinery in 1914 is foreseen by the
War Food Administration. Raw ma
terials authorized by WPB to make
planting, tillage, and harvesting equip
ment during the year provide for
about twice the quantity produced in
1913, or almost 80 per cent of the
production in 1940-a year in which
manufacture was relatively large. The
manufacture of repair parts will be
unrestricted.
