FOOD PRODUCTION
SHOWING INCREASE

Washington - The Agricul-
ture Department said that total
food production this year probab-
ly would exceed last years record
output by four per cent, but es-
timated that per capita consump-
ton would fall about 81 per cent
below 1912.
This forecast on production was
based on the July report of the
Federal Crop Reporting Board,
the assumption of average wealth
er for the remainder of the year
and a continuation of the present
trend in livestock production.
Civilians will get less princi-
pally because military, lend
lease, and other war requirements
are about double those of 1912.
Seventy-five per cent of the to-
tai 1913 food production has been
allocated to civilians, about 10
per cent to this country's armed
services, 10 per cent to lend
lease, and the remaining two per
cent for shipment to United
States territories and for reserves
for war relief needs.

Grow Turnips For
Good Dairy Feed

Dairymen who have no silos
can produce from six to eight
tons of turnips per acre to take
the place of Silage in the winter
feeding of their COWS, says John
A. .Arey, Extension Dairyman at
State College.
According to Arey, the feeding
of 20 to 80 pounds of turnips per
head daily will materially in
crease the milk production of dali
ry animals.
He recommends that the turn
ips be seeded early in August on
low, fertile land which has re-
ceived a good coating of manure
and 600 to 800 pounds of a COM
plete, high grade fertilizer. The
purple top or Pommeranian white
globe are two good varieties to
plant.
Turnips and other root crops
are slightly laxative and tend to
keep the cows digestive tract in
good condition thereby enabling
her to get more out of the other
feeds which she consumes.
The tops of the turnips should
be removed in harvesting and
the crop stored in a cellar or hill
ed as with sweet potatoes. Before
feeding them, the turnips should
be cut into small pieces with a
spade to prevent the cows from
choking on the whole root. The
turnips should be fed after milk.
ing and not before. If they are
fed before milking, a flavor OF
the turnips will be found in the
milk.

Makes ''BaZOOka"
For Army's Use

Schenectady, Aug. 3 - Ameri-
cas- new anti-tank weapon, the
"bazooka," described as some
thing that might have come out
of a highly imaginative comic
strip, has been in mass produc-
ton at one of the General Electric
plants for about a year, company
officials have just announced.
Space and facilities in an unre-
vealed plant of the G-E appliance
and merchandise department
were converted from making of
home electrical appliances to
manufacture of the revolutionary
"baZooka".
Girls who formerly made wash
ing machines and similar devices
make the weapon. Since the Ar
my has disclosed that it was used
with deadly effect in Africa, the
girl workers 60 about their tasks
with extra pride and enthusiasm.
Since production of the Army
designed weapon began with an
initial contract completed in thir-
ty days, Army Ordnance experts
and factory engineers have work.
ed out a number of improvements
which have resulted in a lighter
and more easily handler weapon.
Soldiers who use it dubbed it
the "bazooka' because they saw
it some remote resemblance to
the weird musical instrument
made famous by Bob Burns, the
Arkansas comedian.
Though the "BazooKa" is small
enough to be fired by one man,
usually after second man loads
it, such a powerful projectile is
hurled that, after one shot struck
a nearby tree, the commander
of six enemy tanks surrendered
them in the belief that he was
being shelled by 155-mm guns.
