AGRICULTURAL EXT
SERVICE

crawler tractors for civilian use will
be short for quite some time. Cali
fornia farmers received 33 per cent
of the national quota of crawier
tractors released to agriculture in
the fourth quarter of 1914. Davidson
says it is reasonable to expect the
release of crawler tractors to Cali
1945 will be as large, if not larger,
than the fourth quarter of 1914
DAIRY SITUATION
National milk production in 1945
may reach 100000 pounds" says
G. E. Gordon, specialist in dairying
of the Agricultural Extension Serv-
ice, University CT California. IF re-
turns to dairy farmers, including
dairy production payments, are held
at about the same level as in 1914.
However, slight shifts in utilization
lationships among dairy products
continue. The billion pounds added
production probably will go mainly
| into manufactured whole milk prod
ucts. Creamery butter output in l945
may be slightly lower than the
100000 pounds reduction that was
expected in 1914 However, produc-
ton of evaporated milk and dried
whole milk may be above 1914 levels.
with moderate decline in in
/ come. the demand for fluid milk
/ and cream in 1945 is not expected
/ to be as strcng as in 1914, but the
/ sllpply was insufficient to meet de-
mand in 1914. and per capita con-
sumption of fluid milk and cream
NAV not decline much if at all. from
i the record of All pounds per person
now indicated for 1914. The demand
for manufactured dairy products IN
1e45 probably will continue strong
in relation to available supplies at
present prices, unless there Is a
large drop in non-civillan purchases
prices received by dairy farm
ers in l945 may not be much differ
ent from that of 1914, providing
there is continuation OF strong
wartime demands. However, IN
creased production may result IN
scme higher returns. assuming that
dairy production payments do not
differ materially from those OF 1914
Judging from present indications
of the number of grain consuming
animals on farms and the feed sup
ply, milk producers in 1945 may not
experience as much difficulty as IN
1914 in satisfying feed requirements.
Compared with the longtime aver
age, dairy-feed price relationships
in l945 are expected to be more Ia
vorable than other important live
stock-feed relationships. except pos
sibly the hog-corn ratio

Egg Scarcity
To Continue

PETALUMA, Cal. Dec. ID. CUPD
This great poultry center probably
will produce even more eggs in 1945
than it did in the bumper year 1914
but there still won't be too many,
despite the nation wide over-supply,
experts report.
Because or war demands, Califor-
mia has changed from an egg-eX-
porting to an egg-importing state,
and there is a ready market for all
the eggs Sonoma county's 100000

Probers Clear
Cigaret Shortage

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA. tUP)-'
Witnesses in effect told the Senate
war investigating committee that
there's a cigaret shortage because
there's a shortage of cigarets.
Hhe simple fact, they said, is that
manufacturers can't produce enough
cigarets to meet increasing armed
service demand, higher civilian con-
sumption and over-buying at coun-
ters.
Contributing factors. witnesses
agreed, are manpower shortages in
cigaret factories which prohibit eX-
panSion of production, and, to n
lesser degree, a tobacco leaf short
age The leaf shortage, they en-
phasized, will become acute in an
other 10 to IL months.
joseph Kolodny of Jersey City,
New Jersey, executive secretary OF
the national tobacco distributors.
testified that 80 per cent of total
cigaret production is gcing to armed
forces and that civilian conSump-
ton has increased at the rate of Is
per cent a year since 1910. To meet
these demands, he said, manufac-
tulerS would Lave to increase their
present output by 30 per cent.
Kolodny saio the shortage was
aggravated by ccr.umers who buy
more than enough to satisfy their
daily needs. He denied emphatically
that wholes alers are holding back
cigarets in the hope of getting high
er price ceilings out of the Office
of Price Administration.
Imperial Valley press., 1944-12-14
HATCHERY PRODUCTION

Commercially Matched chicks pro-
duced nationally in October we're
about one-third less than the same
number produced in l943 as shown
by the California poultry hatchery
report. Reductions were general
throughout the country.
California commercial hatchery
production throughout the month
was about 13 per cent below that of
October 1879 and showing seasonal
reduction of about per cent from
the preceding month. A number of
California hatcherymen reported
shortage of good Matching eggs. The
state hatchery output is still IA per
cent above the average of the five
years, 1938-1942 Country wide de-
mand for chicks for commercial
broiler production is strong. The
national output for October was es-
tlmated at 26,272,000 baby chicks for
October compared with 1851 900
chicks. Production for the first 10
months Of 1914 was % per cent be-
low the same period last year
An increase in production of
chicks over the past month for COM
mercial broiler production can be
expected as more Matching eggs be-
come available Market receipts of
young stock during October were 81
per cent below October last year
Supply of poultry is considerably
short of the very broad demand
Domestic demand for poultry meat
may remain very strong for several
months to come, because the supply
of red meat for l945 will probably
be less than the supply during 1914
Very little interest has been
shown in ordering chicks for general
flock replacement next year. Orders
booked November | for later deliv-
cry were 90 per cent less than the
orders of the same date last year.
/ CRAWLER TRACTOR REPAIRS
] War Production Board has relaxed
an order which required manufac-
turerS to set aside IS per cent OF
all tracklaying tractor repair parts
for the armed services.
| Manufacturers are still required
! to ship up to 65 per cent of all pro-
duction of critical parts to the
armed services if necessary to fill
orders. A repair part is considered
critical" when untitled purchase
orders exceed inventories. Mop
critical parts should become more
plentiful for civilian use under re-
laxed regulations. Quota restrictions
which formerly limited the size OF
dealer inventories of parts have also
been removed.
The current situation on new
crawler tractors is very tight. 1r
spite of reports being circulated that
more craWler tractors will be re-
leased after January l. there is nc
official confirmation of these re-
! ports.

Copyright. 1914. by IntsrnAt1 News Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. g. AS
the battle for Germany opens, the
news of Allied activities in west
ern Europe-where the strategic
picture is very bright-greatly
overshadows the reports from the
Russian eastern front.
This is due TO the amazingly
swift daring and spectacular adj
vances of the British and Ameri-
can forces through France and
Belgium. More extraordinary
moves may be expected.
In his desperate last stand TO
defend the Reich. Hitler may be
forced to withdraw his troops
from Norway, whose isolation
from Germany daily seems to
draw near.
Because of the extensive and
formidable Notifications built by
the Nazis along Norway's rugged
coast in 1910, and the enormous
difficulties TO be encountered in
terrain and with transportation,
an invading army would have a
hard time advancing, even though
successful in landing.
However, a determined assault
aided by guerilla operations
could so punish the Nazis as to
make their defeat inevitable.
The Germans are acutelY aware
OF The Vulnerability of Norway
and nave long expected that the
Allies would strike for the pur-
pose of isoiating the German d.
visions campaigning in Finland.
Southern Norway would be of
particular strategic value to the
Allies because the closure of the
northern exit TO the North Sea
and English Channel would cut
Germany off from the oceans of
the world.
Moreover the Allies would be
able TO strike directly at Nazi sup
ply lines and defenses and 10 con.
troll the Baltic, thus compelling the
NaZis TO retreat from the Baltic
lands and leaving themselves wide
open 10 attacks from the Red
army.
