AGRICULTURE:
Food Supply

Civilian food supplies during 1914
should be the same as last year
with farmers continuing record
breaking performances, War Food
Administrator Marvin Jones said,
but stocks of milk, cheese and fats
may be slightly less.
At the end Of 1913, the U. S. had
the largest livestock inventory in
history, Jones said, with 10 per cent
more hogs and per cent more cat
tie, although sheep and lamb num-
bers were down per cent.
With farmers urged to cultivate
100000 more acres than last year,
they still face manpower problems,
Jones related. The outlook for pro-
duction of farm machinery and
fertilizer have improved, he added.
Revealing $3.50, 600, 900 was spent
for supporting farm prices in 1913.
Jones said they served the double
purpose of offering incentive for pro-
duction and holding down consumer
costs.

formula" limiting wage increases to

relatively stabilized.
To assure such sterilization, Davis
recommended continuance of con-
sumner subsidies. Prohibition of SUBJ
sides would result in appreciate
rises in basic commodities and
make present wages inadequate,
Davis said.
Davis opposed suggestions that
wages be limited, declaring such &C
ton would work against promotions
and upgradings, and discourage
shifts to industry.

EUROPE:
Take Oper Balkans

Germany made her final prepara-
tons for an anticipated double-bar-
relied attack against the continent
by the Allies by migrating Hun
gary, Rumania and Bulgaria into
the Nazi war machine to provide
common pool of men and resources.
The Nazis' incorporation of the
Balkans came as the Russ drew
closer to the Hungarian border by
stabbing deeper into prewar Poland
and surged onward to the Rumani-
an boundary by chewing off Ger
inany's last grip in the Ukraine.
AS Germany moved to utilize the
Hungarian, Rumanian and Bulgari-
an armies of over a half million
men and draw upon the agricultural
and industrial resources of these
countries, Nazi troops streamed
eastward to take up the fight along
the newly organized battlefront.

RECONDITIONINC:

To heal the wounded quickly and

Point of the program is to prevent
the patients from deteriorating men

and Camp White, Ore, assures the
recovered soldier of placement in a

dition.
