Will Get Less

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 GNSl
Government food experts today
predicted that overall food pro-
duction this year would exceed
the 1912 record output by 4 Der
cent but a gloomy outlook was
forecast for the civilians dining
table.
In a midsummer review Of the
food situation, the War Food Ad-
ministration estimated that the
per capita civilian consumption
would drop about 81 per cent be-
low last year because military
lend-leaSe and other war require
mentS are about double those OF
1912.

.Senator Assai|s
i. s. Optimism
On Civilian Beef

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2 QNS)
Senator Wherry (R) of Ne
braska today labeled as ''nonsen-
sical' department of agriculture
announcement that there will be
plenty of beef for civilians during
the next II months.
Wherry reiterated his earlier
prediction of a famine Of corn-fed
beef ana asserted il will be felt
by the United States at least by
January of 1914. IF not sooner. "
"At present" Wherry said,
"we're getting lot Of grass
fed cattle on the market simply
because OF poor range condi-
tiOns and n lack OF feed grains,
but this il merely temporary"
HOLDING LIVESTOCK
Under such chaotic condi-
tons" the senator continued.
there will be plenty OF beef until
the animals now being marketed
begin 10 dwindle. Cattle raisers
are holding their livestock for
better prices next year and a
more satisfactory feeding margin,
he said.
"None Of these feeders are
putting their cattle back into
feed lots because Of the uncer-
tainty Of conditions--and this
will bring about famine OF
corn-fed beef" Wherry de-
clared.
Charging that under-fed ami
mails are being slaughtered way
short OF their best weight. "
Wherry said the government
wants these cattle on the market
in spite of the fact that civilians
are losing millions and millions Of
pounds of meat.
Many feeders IN his home stHtc
Of Nebraska. as we'll as others,
Wherry said, will seek "non-re-
course" loans from the regional
Agricultural Credit Corp 10 carry
their livestock over another year.
CATTLE NOT COLLATERAL
These loans. he pointed out. do
not require the borrower 10 put
up his cattle as collateral. and
viii enable the feeder 10 hold his
animals for better marketing
weights.
Early in 1913. the department
OF agriculture announced. there
were S0.0OOOOO head Of cattle on
farms but despite this fact cattle
Strengthening declined IL per cent
during the first half Of the year
compared with 1912
According 10 the department
heavier marketingS for the rest of
this year are expected 10 make
up the difference In Whcrry'S cS-
timation, however. this is not the
case. All farmers who are able 20
do so. ne believes. viii hold their

Col. Stanwood Denies
Boards Are DRAFTING
Maryland Fathers
Cites Low on Bona Eide
Family Relationships,
'Non-DeferrubIe' Jobs
By the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, June 26.-A denial
that any Maryland local draft
boards are drafting fathers was
made yesterday by Col. Henry &.
Stanwood, State selective service
olrectof.A4 4191UT y l. f.
To be considered father" under
the Selective Service Act, Col. Stan
wood explained, a registrant must
have child or children born prior
to September IA, 1912, and must
maintain bona fide. family rela-
tionship established prior to Deem
Der 8; I94l. ------.-----. -.------.--------
A registrant may still be drafted,
even If he can meet these two quail
f1cations, he continued, If he holds
a job which has been listed as mon
deferrable" by the War Manpower
Commission.
Many fathers are being drafted,
but in all the cases, the State direc-
tor pointed out, either the father
does not maintain bona f1de family
relationship with his child or chill
dren; holds non-deferrable job or
had acquired such status when his
induction became imminent.
Many registrants have failed to
keep their draft boards informed of
their status, and in numerous cases
registrant does not report the
birth of child to his draft board.
The board, without this knowledge,
may order the man up for induction,
but when such cases are discovered,
Col. Stanwood said, a stay of induc-
ton is usually granted and an in
veStigation made.

Big Water Use
Brings Shortage
In Falls Church
Conservation PIeu
Mode; One Well Low
And One Pump Is Out

Fourteen days of uninterrupted 90
degree weather which put hundreds
of lawn sprinklers into action, had
by last night left home owners in
many sections of Falls Church high
and dry" with only trickle of water
coming from their faucets.
Issuing an appeal for restricted
use of water for sprinkling lawns and
gardens, Mayor M. Fl. Haertel sale.
between 100 and 125 residents were
found late yesterday to have lawn
sprinklerS running full force.
Mayor Haertel said after a special
policeman was assigned to stop lawn
sprinkling last night, he pressure in
the towns system Immediately be-
gan to build up. He said there was
no immediate danger of a stoppage
as long as residents conserved water.
One Well Is Low.
The Mayor explained that the
water level in one of the towns five
wells has become low, and pump
at another well has been out of
commission for the last week. Parts
for this pump have been ordered
and it is expected to be placed in
operation again in a few days.
There is no danger of fire."
Mayor Haerten said I'm an emer-
gency the Falls Church water sys-
tenn may be hooked on to the Ar
lington County system by means of
a booster pump at the county line.
Arlington, however, has been unable
to turn water into the town system
because of a greater demand for
water on the part of its residents.
John McCauley. town clerk, said
that new we'll had been dug and
would be placed in operation in
about week
Mr.. McCauley explained that the
town pumps its water into ESQ, ,000-
gallon tank for distribution to con-
sumers. He said the town attempts
to keep the water level well up in
the tank, and sometimes draws on
Arlington for additional supplies.
Number of Users Doubled.
Pointing out that water users in
the town have almost doubled in the
last Is months, Mr.. McCauley said
this extra demand, plus the peak
load brought about by the heat
drained the towns tank faster than
it could be filled. He said the town
now furnishes water to approxi-
mately $500 homes.
! A. T. Lundberg. head of the Ar
lington County Water Department,
said the town could not draw on the
Arlington supply, since Arlington
was in the midst of a peak load also
and had no water for other than its
| own use.
| He explained that the county re-
ceiveS water from the District and
its supply is dependent on the abil-
ity of the mains to carry the load.
So far, he added, Arlington has not
banned the use Of water sprinklers.

Virginia Official Reports

RICHMOND, June 26.-L. M.
Walker. jr., State commissioner of
agriculture, said yesterday that in
spite of OPA denials, Virginia live
stock markets are congested with
meat animals for which farmers can
find no sale because of limited quotas
allowed slaughterers.
The agriculture commissioner de-
MED that the meat animals which he
declared were jamming State mar
kets are poor as rats" as charged
by OPA spokesmen, and stated that
the animals are of uniformly good
quality.
Earlier this week, Mr.. Walker had
reported that farmers of the State
were finding difficulty in selling their
meat animals because of low OPA
quotas to slaughterers and pointed
out that during this season of the
year Virginia farmers rely on the
sale of such animals for cash in
come to meet current farming ex-
penses.

Farm Gas Shortage
May Cut Fall Planning
In Nearby Virginia
Growers Are Discouraged
BY Uncertainty of
Obtaining Fuel

Farmers in Fairfax, Prince Will
liam and Fauquier Counties fear
that the shortage of gasoline for
agriculture purposes may curtail the
fall planting of small grain crops, it
was learned today.
One oil dealer, who supplies ap-
proximately 725 farmers in these
Northern Virginia counties, said that
irregular gasoline supplies for farm
purposes in the last 80 days have
had a tendency to discourage plans
for future crops
He said enough gasoline is on hand
to supply farmers, now in the midst
of harvesting grain crops, for the
next two or three days.
, While the situation is not desper-
ate, he said, gasoline for farm pur-
poses still is being released in drib-
bles, with the result that farmers
can never be sure that fuel will be
available for next weeks operation.
L. M. Walker, jr., State commits
sioner of agriculture, said yesterday
that shortages have been reported
in other agricultural areas.
The need for gasoline now is
greater than at most other seasons
of the year, Mr.. Walker said, because
the harvesting of barley, wheat and
oats is under way.
