Won't Hurt Our Health.
"Our agricultural production" the
President said, is larger than ever
in our history but the needs Of our
armed services are so great that
shortage of certain foods is inev-
table. The production of less.
needed commodities must be re-
duced. while the production Of COM
modities for war and essential civil
ian use may be increased. 1t is i'm
perative that this increased demand
for food be adjusted to available
supplies"
That adjustment, to be accomp-
lished through rationing and other
programs regulating distribution,
will provide a sufficient volume for
consumers but less variety, Mr..
Roosevelt said, adding:
That may hurt our taste. but not
our health"
One of the largest items recon-
mended for agriculture was $780,
600, 900 for soil conservation and
crop adjustment payments to farm
ers. Mr.. Roosevelt said he had di-
rected that this money-$44, 900 600

Wensloff attempted to catch Ste

That proved to be the ball game,
