Little dried whole milk will he
found at the grocer's, but there IS
dried skim milk around in some
stores. Try it for cooking! 1t pro-
vides all the food elements of fresh
whole milk. except fat.
Americans will continue to spoon
up the ice cream and smoother
product, as the makers get an in
crease of dried skim milk solids -
but not a whit more of richness.
BEANS -- Keep the beans baking.
Bags bulge with dried beans. peas
and lentils; all continue unratloned.
Red kidney beans. limas and white
beans may be short at the grocers.
Our fighters need and like them.
FRESH VEGETABLES - Victory
gardeners stay by the hoe! Goals for
fresh vegetables will continue high.
For the winter we have enough
vegetables and no onion famine.
Plenty of small potatoes; scarcity
looms for the big bakers.
Fresh FRUIT - Enough oranges
but fewer grapefruit The hurricane
took heavy toll. More tangerines
than you ever heard tell. About one
third more bananas are expected
now that the Caribbean is open.
DRIED FRUITS -- Dried fruit will
be slightly less than last year but in
greater variety. Persian dates are
coming for the first time since the
war - some $4,000 tons.
FROZEN FOODS - If the canned
stuff runs short, reach into the
freezer and pull out what you need.
The quick-frozen food industry is
setting new records - half-billion
pounds of food were frozen last year.
topping the l943 output by Is per
cent. Nice thing is that IS per cent
of the total, including some rs varie-
ties of meat, poultry. fresh fruits
and vegetables, has been allotted to
home tables
FISH - Uncle Sam orders more
canned salmon, sardines and mack
erel, leaving less for home pantries.
But the tuna's all ours.
There are fishing boats a-plenty to
keep up the fresh-hsh production.
Also more fish will be filleted, frozen

and moved to inland towns where
frozen-locker space is available.
CANNED STOCKS - Canned stocks
are on the less side this spring.
Canned fruit will be limited until
the new harvest. This years pack
was one OF the largest on record but
the military asked tremendous set
asides, so civilians get under half
their normal demand. Mighty scarce
are canned pears, pineapple and
fruit cocktail. The peach crop. too.
failed to come up to its promise. But
apricots are the largest pack ever.
More pie timber in the form of
canned mincemeat and cooked
pumpkin. Vast ambrosias Of juices,
except the pineapple.
Canned vegetable stocks are
slightly less than last spring. just
enough Of some items to squeeze
through until garden time. The
major vegetables - string beans.
corn, peas and tomatoes - may be
one third of the l943 supplies.
Almost no lima beans - these 60 to
the armed forces. Asparagus and
spinach enough. Bright spot is the
abundance of unrationed tomato
puree - spaghetti eaters take note!
BABY rood - There's full dinner
plate assured for his majesty, the
baby. The greatest supply of canned
baby foods ever is the prediction.
SWEET SrUTTS - Starve the sweet
tooth. Sugar rationing will con-
tinue, certainly, until the. defeat
of Japan. Less candy ahead.
BEVERAGES - Cocoa and choco-
late are short. About the same
amount OF tea, but all black. Coffee
supplies are adequate to meet de-
mands both here and abroad
NUTS - Heap the nut bowls. Wal
nut, pecan and almond trees pro-
duced tons more nuts than is aver
age. The peanut crop is wonder.
SPICE - New spice sources are
opening because of easier shipping
in the Atlantic. Cloves come from
Madagascar. The nations pepper
supply will hold until the imports
start moving. More vanilla, more
peppermint. Cinnamon is the one
major spice still short for the pantry.

Will the food situation
be better or worse for
the home front? Look =.

ERE is preVieW ol the he"
years table and the 1,O95
meals soon to be served. Good eating
ahead - the stick-to-the-rib kind -
but few of the luxuries.
MEAT What's ahead for the plat
ter? Less meat than we ate last year
- 100 to 1876 pounds per capita as
compared with l43 pounds in 1914.
Until sometime in the fall, best cuts
from the porker - loins, hams.
shoulders. butts and bacon - will
continue scarce picking. Slightly
less lamb and mutton as the lamb
crop is smaller. But as much veal as
now, which is saying a mouthful -
and most of this for the homefolks.
Beef is on the slow increase, the
quality showing improvement.
EoeS AND POULTRY - Laying
hens are steadily popping out eggs
on a production-line basis. Too many
eggs last year; we couldn't eat them
all. The War Food Administration
calls for a big cut in the chicken
population. Don't worry, lady. there
will be chicken enough. despite the
present shortage. Fresh chicken will
be back when the Quartermaster
catches up on his shopping. Eggs
enough too. Just ahead is the big
cackling season. Fewer eggs are
needed for drying. Out of storage
are coming eggs in truckload volume
to clear space for the new harvest.
Grade-B eggs will be in superabund-
ance and the best money value.
FArS AND OILS - By summer
there will be less fat for cooking, as
fewer hogs 60 to market. Domestic
production of edible oils is expected
larger than in 1914. But fat imports
can't increase very much until the
Japs fold. Meanwhile Europe needs
fat, so do the armed forces. Kitchen
fat salvage continues duty.
CEREALS - A big breakfast year.
Cereals of every kind Bread baskets
overflow with crisp. crusty loaves
- whole grain and the enriched.
DAIRY PRODUCTS - Spread the
butter thin, or pass the margarine.
After cows freshen this spring, there
will be a trifle more of the golden
spread. but not enough to meet the
demand. True, milk production is
soaring - but civilians drink 20 to
25 per cent more milk than prewar.
Extra milk, too, is needed for cheese,
evaporated milk and milk powder,
all for war uses. Milk pitchers brim
and better distribution is promised
for the milk-short areas. Don't ex-
pect the whipping cream back.
Cheerful earful is that cheese may
be slightly more plentiful. But Ched-
dar will continue going to the Army.
The pot-type cheeses can be made in
any amount.
Evaporated milk is the short stuff.

has brought better working and liv-

very valuable contribution.
In the interest of more efficient la
Dor press service by this office, we
would greatly appreciate any sugges-
tions you may care to make, regarding
War Bond news releases.
We are reorganizing and attempt
ing to improve our field news cover
age in the interest of greater effic-
iency. Our facilities however, are linn
tied. To obtain more adequate cover
age of War Bond labor news we would
appreciate receiving any items you
feel would be Of broad labor interest.
AS an editor, your ability to select
items Of Importance, coupled with your
appreciation Of timing will be of ines
timable value. We will redistribute

Again thanking you for your sup
port Of War Bond publicity and ex-
tending every good wish for your
