Planning for Next Year.
The busy farmer knows that rec
ord demands are absorbing his rec
ord food production and asking for
more. He has no time for resting
on his laurels after another success
full year. Even as he harvestS his
1913 crops he is planning the sowing
of some $50 million acres in 1914,
an increase of about S per cent over
this year. In addition, he must
make sure of sufficient pasture for
his livestock, which will push the
farm acreage in 1914 over the bill
lion mark, an increase of l6 million
acres over 1912. He has to plan the
maintenance of high levels on pro-
duction of meat, dairy products and
eggs, too.
Once there were limits on the
amount of food for which farmers
could find ready market, at home
or abroad. In the world at war to-
day there might be said to be no
limit to his market. It's production
that is now of first account for the
farmer, not where he can sell what
he raises.
For this reason, he's looking
ahead to plan his own crops for the
best use of as much acreage as he
can plant. Every farm crop grown
in 1914 will be a war crop, except
for a few special crops already
much curtailed Greater emphasis
will be placed on cereals, including
an increase in wheat acreage, and
there will be special need for more
soybeans, dry beans, the dry peas,
flax, potatoes, canning crops and
feed crops.
Conservation practices to increase
production next year will be empha-
sized under the agricultural conser-
walton program carried out by the
Agricultural Adjustment agency of
the department of agriculture
These practices include measures to
assist farmers to reach and main
tain maximum productivity of their
land, without jeopardizing produc-
ton in succeeding years.
After the farmer has set up his
own farm plan, the AAA committee
men, both county and community.
will assist him in obtaining equip
ment, materials such as fertilizers,
and other items essential to getting
the production job done.

INDIA:
Famine Relief

To relieve famine conditions which
reached their worst peak in Bengal
province, the central government of
India placed ban on the export
of all grain from the stricken coun-
try.
At the same time, officials said
every effort was being made to OBJ
tain more shipping for importation
of foo1. However, it was said that
midas famine was of such proper
ton that imports alone could not en-
tirely appease the hunger.
Worst conditions existed in Ben
gal province, where scarcity of rice
was aggravated by the high prices
being asked for the staple despite
the low level of the populace's in
come.
Government purchase of the en-
tire rice crop and resale was seen
as partial solution to the famine
problem.

Cumulative Effect of Defeats on All Fronts,
Plus Bombing Of Cities, Expected to
Hasten German Defeat.
BY BAUKHAGE
Ne,ps Analyst and Commentator.

'The army air forces" says the
general, "are now attacking the en-
envy on ten different fronts through
out the world. Their victories,
wherever they come in contact with
the enemy, testify to the gallantry
and skill of American pilots and
crews, to the mechanical efficiency
of the planes and to the leadership
of General Arnold and (the
other commanders).
History of the War
Go through General Marshall's
dramatic history of the war to date
and you will see again and again
how the Allied air might has gradu-
ally risen from the days in the
first phase" when, as the general
says, ON all fighting fronts we were
in a desperate situation due to
lack of MATERIAL" into the "later
phase" when in the southwest Pa
cific, "air superiority was demon
strated by loss ratio of four to
one in our favor" until today when
"the combined American British
bomber offensive against the CONT
nent of Europe gives promise of be-
ing decisive factor in the ultimate
destruction of the German citadel"
Now that the Allies are in posses
sion of the Foggia air bases in Italy,
we can reach what the President de-
scribed as the area of Germany
hitherto "invulnerable." We are
nearer the southern German cities
now than the air force in the British
Isles is to many of the cities against
which it has hurled its most devas-
tating blows, and those cities Of
southern Germany and Austria,
hitherto "safe" are now as "vulner-
able" as the cities of the Rhine and
Ruhr, as Hamburg and Cologne.
The war is not over. The fighting
potential of the German army, in
number of men, equipment, general
ship, supplies, and morale is as high
as ever. But as sat in the Senate
Office building and heard the pre-
diction, ''the collapse of Germany
may come at any time" my mind
went back to the anxious faces, the
AeIVOuS Inquiries, tnaL came 10 me
the day that Britain and France de.
clared war and I waited to leave
Berlin where had been broadcast
ing to America.
The greatest fear of the average
German then was the fear of Amer.
lean participation in the war. We
couldn't, the stupid leaders believed,
"get there in time if we wanted to-"
They didn't guess we would come
via the skyways. Now they know.

SUBSIDIES:
To Dairy Farmers

To offset the increased cost of
feed, the government will pay subsi-
dies ranging from 80 to so cents
per hundredweight on whole milk
sales, and from to cents a pound
on butterfat.
Based on increased feed costs,
the different rates were fixed to as
sist farmers who have to purchase
more feed than formerly, with max
imum payments going to farmers in
drouth counties where feed crops
suffered damage.
Subsidies will be paid after farm
ers submit such satisfactory evil
dence as creamery statements as
to the amount of milk or butterfat
sold to their AAA county committee.
In all, 3ls million dairy farmers are
expected to qualify under the 60
million-dollar program.
The whole subsidy question ap-
peared to be headed for thorough
going over again, with the house
banking and currency committee ad-
vising congress to allow subsidy pay
ments to producers only, and not to
reduce retail food costs.

RUSSIA:
Battle RACES

The great battle for the Dnieper
river ragged.
With Russian forces across the
river at several points, German
troops fought desperately to prevent
their organization for full scale en-
circling attacks, which would trap
the Nazi armies from the rear.
Far to the south of the 75O-mile
front, the Reds assaulted Nazi posi-
tons protecting their forces in the
Crimea. Since the Germans held
shortened defense lines in this Sec
tor, any Russian breakthrough would
compel them to fall back to the
Dnieper river and thus extend their
battle front, or else trap at least
100000 Nazis.
Standing behind prepared posi-
tions. the Germans bitterly resisted
the Reds repeated attacks on their
northern lines guarding the Baltic
states and old Poland.

FORTRESS EUROPE:
Hit From AL Sides

Even as Allied forces crossed the
swollen Volturno river under the COW
er of heavy artillery fire in southern
Italy, hundreds of Flying Fortresses
escorted by speedy Thunderbolt
fighters delivered a hard blow at
the Nazis' huge roller-bearing plant
in Schweinfurt, Germany.
In crossing the Volturno, Allied
forces chose to span the narrow riv-
er at its eastern point, where they
began working northward toward the
mountains overlooking the commu-
nication lines used by the Nazis to
supply their embattled legions.
While the Germans held to the
west flank of the river, they were
brought under increasing pressure
of Allied fire from land and sea.
lowering offshore, U. S. and British
warships pumped big shells into Ger
man positions inland.
In blasting Schweinfurt's roller

missing. More than 100 of fighter
planes upon which the Nazis are de-
pending to check Allied air raids,
were brought down by the raiders.

used to harass further drives to the
north toward the Philippines.
For this task, imaginative General
Macarthur is using large air fleets.
Hundreds of Liberator and Mitchell
bombers poured $50 tons of bombs
on Rabaul, leaving that important
Japanese supply depot for their en-
tire Southwest Pacific front, smok-
ing in ruins.
After Rabaul, General MacAr-
thurs bombers trained their sights
on remaining Jap air bases in the
Solomons, and with U. S. fighters,
attacked the main airdromes from
which the enemy has been raiding
Allied posts to the south.
Southwest China Periled
Trying to seal off the back door
of China, three strong Japanese col
umns drove toward Yunnan prov
ince's capital of Running.
The Japs attacked along the Bur-
ma road, which leads into China at
the point of the enemy's new attack.
Chinese forces bitterly resisted the
Japs' drive, with the aid of the 18th
U. S. air force, which pounded the
invaders gas and oil dumps and
military installations.
With the Japs dominating much
of the eastern coast of China, key
to the entrance of the country lies
in the southwestern section, known
as Yunnan province. This section
assumes important significance with
talk of Allied plans of driving into
China from Burma.

In order to speed reconversion to

Production board officials have sug-

If plans were made for the pro-

officials said at least IS months
might be required for retooling.
WPB could enforce manufacture
of 1912 models, it was said, if it

ment of materials. Such control
would be lifted when industries
would be on the way toward develop
ment of new models during the ordi-

To prevent future aggression and

that the United States act through

The subcommittee proposal was

between advocates of broad partici-

serving world peace, and advocates
of limited participation, who have
insisted on U. S. freedom to decide
her action on any particular meas
ure for maintaining order.
The subcommittee proposal was

calling for the &c creation of
appropriate international machinery
with power adequate to establish

of the U. S. therein through its con-
stitutional processes"
