no substantial increase In civilian
rations is expected before 1916. BY
that time 1t will be possible to raise
hog production above present re-
stricted levels.
Some Improvement in the beet
supply could come later this year
II the Government offered incen-
Hves which would encourage the
feeding Of cattle to heavier weights.
Butter Outlook Dark.
No Improvement in civilian sup
plies Of food fats and shortening is
expected before 1916. The produc-
ton Of lard this year is expected to
drop Is per cent below last year,
and official estimates indicate farm
ers will plant fewer acres to pea
nuts and soybeans, sources Of vege-
table oils.
The butter supply may not i'm
prove materially until after the de-
feat Of Japan.
Shortages may exist for another
year In the case Of canned fruits
and vegetables. Production Of these
items will be adversely affected by
shortages Of labor and materials.
Only in the case of cereals, In
cluding -four. are plentiful supplies
now assured.
A recent Agriculture Department
survey Of farmers planting plans
emphasize that . short farm labor
supply-ofdcially described as the
smallest in IS years-will prevent
any increase in food and livestock
feed crops this year. II the weather
turns unfavorable, production might
drop disastrously low.
