The Germun Lorder

Inere was 8 time When Hermann
Goering boasted to the German peo-
pie that they would never have to
worry about food. That was when
the Nazis occupied and controlled
nearly the whole of Europe, so that
he could safely say then that all of
the continent would be starved first
before he would let the Reich suffer.
But like his even more famous
promise that no planes would ever
bomb Berlin. Goering's reassurances
on food have been blasted away by
the march of events-speciflcally by
the march of our Allied armies cut
ting off Germany from virtually
every outside source of supply. The
agriculture of France is no longer
available, nor that of Poland or
Romania or any number of other
areas completely within the grip of
the Nazis less than a year ago.
The effect of all this on the Ger
man diet is bound to be painful
sooner or later. Thus, wholly apart
from what they have lost to our
Allied armies in the west, their losses
to the Red Army have deprived the
Nazis of very large part of the sur
plus agricultural goods upon which
Goering based his boast. According
to reliable estimate, for example,
they took 100000 metric tons of
grain from Western Poland in 1943-
A, but now they can take it no more.
Similarly, before the great Russian
advance, they could count on getting
from East Prussia and Pomerania
an annual supply of about 10000
tons of fats, 100000 tons of meats
and 100000 tons of grain.
Indeed, in the opinion of British
experts, the loss or investment of
these and other areas in the east
means that Germany has lost third
of its supply Of bread grain, fourth
of its supply of butter, q NTH of its
meat supply, a third Of its cheese,
almost third Of its sugar and q
seventh Of its milk. Moreover. as
the ONCE OF War Information points
out. the food stringency resulting
from this is made greater by the fact

Mr.. Maverick Salutes an Artist

MIR. Maverick Salutes an Artist
To the Editor Of The Star:
Lately criticized cartoonists in gen.
eral, but made one exception Cliff
Bergman. I've watched his work, it
seems to me, since was born.
Take cartoonistg: Some have been
able to make an impression by being
vicious and mean, Others by unfairly
exaggerating the features Of people to
such an extent that their ridicule Is not
even funny. Still others have honestly
done good job by drawing dreary and
sorry spectacles that depress everybody.
In my recent criticism, I said: Car
toonists should fight for representative
government. They always picture
q particular Congressman as 4 funny
little fellow, pot-bellied, with . fency
vest, long hair and little stubby brush-
like beard. But Congressman are neither
fatter nor thinner than the average
American, and dress just like Them
But I have excepted Mr.. Bergman.
What he has done is to bring respect
to our institutions and to our demo-
cratic form Of Government. Further
more, he has pictured Congressman as
they are--that is, thin, If they are thin;
pot-bellied, If they are pot-bellied (al-
though . little merrily), and, further
more, he Is never (or hardly ever mean
or sarcastic.
I don't know what can do to pay
him back. AS partial recognition, I'm
going to make him . Rip -Snorter. In
order to be a Rip-Snorter, you must
have a Confederate bill and be q high
flyer.
1t makes you, also, Southern gen.
tleman and a colonel. I inclose the
Confederate bill, which have inscribed
emitting him to all the emoluments and
privileges of his high Office.
OF course want it understood that
Mr.. Bergman already has the reputa-
ton of being gentleman. However,
want to make 1t sure that he Is q
Southern gentleman. AS to the rank
of colonel, it is a special type Of colonel,
higher than five-star generals and ad-
mirals, field marshals and Generals
simo Chang Kai-shek.
But getting to be serious once more.
Some cartoonists are bad historians.
During the Civil War, and probably for
10 years after that, the cartoonists, in
some respects, were excellent historians,
although sometimes, because of partisan
bias, little distorted They began to
slip in the sos and still are slipping.
Mr.. Bergman some day will be known
as a great historian. You can read his
cartoons and get true history, in proper
perspective
Will Rogers was great humorist;
he hurt few persons feelings, but he
did a lot of good in a serious way. He
was q great American. The same can
be said for Mr.. Bergman If you sub
stitute the name, and "cartoonist" for
"humorist"
The Rip-Snorter Is inclosed herewith
In the type of currency understand he
used just before he went to work for
The Star. Or maybe should send 4
Pine Tree shilling.
With congratulations to you and Mr..
Bergman, and wishing him another
century of usefulness, am,

be immensely risky.
Even presuming that we shall estab-
lish ourselves firmly on Two Jima and
In other islands of the Bonin and VOL
cano groups, and perhaps in the Ryu-
kyus as well, and supposing that we
shall work our way into the Kurile chain
80 as to threaten Japan from the north
even then, the capacity of the small
island bases which will thus become
available to us is not great either in
harbor facilities or In ground area We
could not mount great offensive from
such bases; we would have to bring our
main forces over much greater dis
tance, using the advance bases chiefly
to provide air support. And even SO
major part Of the air support would
have to come from carriers.
We have learned . great deal about
carrier operations, but not yet has .
major amphibious invasion Of a great
military empire been attempted under
conditions which required its principal
air support to be carried-based. Pos
sibly experience has convinced our high
command that 1t can be done: as to that
only time will show.
Caution, therefore, suggests that we
should defer the decisive attack on
Japan itself-to which, sooner or later,
we must come-until we have secured
major air bases on the Asiatic continent
from which we can give the Japanese
home territory = real pounding. But
that means the liberation Of China at
least up to the southern bank of the
Yangt2e.
Evening star., 1945-03-05

There IS also to be considered the
contention Of some Japanese experts
that even decisive defeat Of the Japanese
in their home islands and the occupa-
ton Of al Nippon would not bring the
war to an end. because the japanese
would still continue to fight In Man
churia, where they have considerable
industrial development and great stores
of military supplies.
Somehow this does not seem vsry
realistic thinking. The japanese home
islands are the very basis of their mil
itary strength md the focus Of their
spiritual devotion. II these were lost
few fanatics might 90 on fighting but
there would be little real basis for large
scale continuance u the war.

who is chairman of the Union
county Swine Improvement COM
mittee. A committee from this
group visited 16 farms in the
county on Sept. p and made Sc
lections of boars and gifts to be Of
fered through this sale.
Eighteen boars were selected by
the Sale Committee and % gifts,
making a total of Al head of breed
ing animals, which will be consign-
ed to this sale, according to Mr..
Davis. The breeds represented in
this sale will be Berkshire, Duroc,
Chester White, Poland China,
Hampshire, and Spotted Poland
China, These hogs all come from
the best breeding herds in Union
County.
This sale is being held under the
direction of the Sale Committee of
Swine Improvement group and
they have selected j. Blaine Har-
ris as the sale manager for this e.
vent.
This offering of boars and gifts
consigned by Union County swine
breeders, represents the fruits of
their labors over many years of
scientific matings and should inn
prove the quality of hogs raised by
commercial producers on every
farm where one of these fine ami
mails finds a home.

Ali HOG CONTEST
RESULTS GIVEN

In connection with the Junior
Livestock exhibits recently held at
the Union county Fair the ASman
Packing company offered three
prizes to All or Vocational Agri-
culture exhibits of market hogs.
These prizes were based upon the
dressing percentages of these ami
mails when slaughtered at the
plant of the Asman Packing Com
pany. These prizes were in addi-
ton to all others offered at the
Fair and totals $10., first award
being $5., second, $3., and the
third, 81.
The results of this event, which
have just been placed in the hands
of County Agent D. B. Robinson,
are as follows: Richard Gray, a
member of the Buckeye All Club,
first place, with a market pig hav-
ing live weight of 225 pounds and
yielding 185 pounds, of dressed
meat, showing a dressing percent
age of 82.2 percent.
Bobby Kale, of the Jackson Live
stock Boosters, second with pig
weighing $50 pounds on foot, with
a dressed weight of 205 pounds, or
80 percent. Third place went to
Donald Jolliff of the Buckeye All
Club, on pig which weighed 245
pounds and dressed 200 pounds, or
a percentage of 81.6 percent.
Eight other boys sold their pigs
to the Asman Packing company
and the dressing percentage on all
of these hogs averaged high, ac-
cording to a statement made today
by Mr.. Robinson. THE results of
this contest should be very graft
flying to these boys and it certainly
provides a lesson in breeding, feed
ing, and the management of the ac-
ceptable type of market hogs to
meet the demands of the slaugh-
terer," Mr.. Robinson said.

GOOD PROSPECTS
FOR SEEN
DURING WINTER
Plenty Of Feed On Hand;
Labor Situation Only
Question Confronting Them

Ohio dairymen will have ample
feed supplies to maintain high milk
production during the winter, the
farm labor situation will be better
than that of last winter, and the
only question about consumer de-
mand for dairy products is the ex-
tent of unemployment, is the sum-
mary of the dairy situation as CIV
en- by r. w. Sherman, rural eco
nomics department, Ohio State u
niVerSity.
Mr.. Sherman says Ohio pastures
were in better conditions on Sept
ember 26 than the average for the
past 10 years. The 1945 Ohio hay
crop is about 6 per cent larger than
that of 1914, and the production of
all grain feeds used in dairy ra-
tionS is likely to be as good or bet
ter than the supply available in
1914.
The Ohio State economist de-
clareS that Ohio dairymen have
been feeding heavy grain rations to
cows for the past year. Purchase of
commercially mixed dairy rations
depends upon the amount of feed
that can be sought with 100 pounds
of milk, and Mr.. Sherman says the
milk-feed ratio is likely to contin-
ue favorable for the next six or
eight months.
Prices for milk are not likely to
change appreciably in the near
future, this economist predicts. O.
hio dairymen will get 10 cents a
hundredweight less for milk than
they received last winter because
the milk subsidy payment a year
ago contained a 10-cent addition as
compensation for drought condi-
tionS.
Nearly all restrictions on the use
of dairy products have been re-
moved, and a great increase in
sales of heavy cream and of ice
cream were reported as soon as
sales barriers were removed. Con
sumers demand for all dairy pro-
ducts win continue high as long as
Industrial conditions are good. Ex-
ira fluid milk can be obtained from
manufacturing plants if needed this
winter.
