Farm Equipment May
Fall Below Schedule

Washington. Dec. 23 - ms -
George Krieger. chief OF the WIPE
Farm Machinery Division, declared
Wednesday that farm equipment
production in 1914 probably will
fall about 10 per cent below the
goal originally asked by the War
Food Administration.
Krieger said II is expected now
that farm machinery manufacturers
next year will produce nine-tenths
OF the so per cent OF 1910 produc-
ton requested earlier by VIA Ad-
ministrator Marvin Jones.
The industry Is fully confident,
however. that most OF the farm ma
chinery quota will be finished by
June 80, 1914. the WPB official de-
clared
Krieger also disclosed that WPB
has about 100 "expediters" placed
in farm machinery plants through
out the country TO iron the kinks
out OF production and to "stop out
put trouble before II starts"
He listed bearings and malleable
castings among the farm machinery
"bottlenecks" and declared that the
tightest pinch in production will
come in tractors. Krieger pointed
out, however, that tractors can be
shared from farm-to-farm in the
neighborhood. IL necessary.
Everything humanity possible is
being done to see that everything is
being produced and produced on
time" he said.

New York Raises
Carrots, Tomatoes

New York. Dec. 23-INS- New
York. the city OF skyscrapers,
turned its attention to tomatoes
and carrots this year and went all
out to swell the country's food sup
ply.
The five boroughs OF New York
City. according to figures an
nounced for first time Wednesday
produced an estimated zoe, 900, 900
pounds OF fresh vegetables in the
more than 100000 victory gardens
totaling approximately 5000 acres.
The figures are based on the re-
port OF the Greater New York Vic
tory Garden Council released by
Carl F. Wedell, executive secre-
tary.
Produce raised in New York
City's victory gardens this year
would have cost at least 10000, 900
IN the city's markets" Wedell said
land it would have required 1888
freight cars to haul it. enough to
make up a train 80 miles long"
Every garden was by no means
a success" Wedell said. Some peo-
pie didn't harvest their radishes un.
til too late-they were waiting un-
til they grew into bunches-but the
overall picture was a pleasant and
very gratifying surprise. This is
especially true when you consider
that two thirds Of these gardens
we're tended by people who have
never touched a garden before"
