War Food Administraticn Off

would be just like that of two years
ago when Irish potatoes were. as
hard to come by, practically, as gold

Commercial supplies are nearly
one-fourth smaller than last years
record stock and about the same as
l943's. Army demands have mount
ed, meanwhile, and it has been
necessary to prohibit shipment of
potatoes in principal western pro-

Officials foresaw a real shortage
developing by mid-February and
March which they said would not
be alleviated until the spring crop
moves on the market from southern
