Bumper Crops End Feed Shortage


Good news for farmers and feeders
as well as the consumers of meat
milk and. eggs, is contained in a
statement just issued by the Ameri-
can Feed Manufacturers Association
The feed shortage, which was the
most severe in our nations history,
is about over. Feed pipelines, long
practically empty, are filling up and
flowing normally once again. This
rather sudden change is a result of
he expiration of OPA price ceilings
and regulations on farm products,
the progressive development of pros
poets for bumper feed grain produc-
ton this season, and some reduction
in livestock numbers.
The association states that pros
pective feed supplies in this country
are not only large enough to feed out
the livestock and poultry on hand,
but they will be so large that at nc
time during the coming year will the
cost of feeds become unreasonably
high.

INTERNATIONAL TROUBLE
By j. II. Jones

Washington, ID. c., August g.
When the World War was won in
Europe the people of the United
States believed that the victorious
nations would unite at the earliest
possible moment and agree to remove
the causes and outlaw all future
wars. Our own Nation supported the
idea THAT all peoples possess the right
expressed in the Atlantic Charter cto
choose the form of Government un-
der which they will live and they
wished to see sovereign rights and
self-government restored to those
who had been unfortunately deprived
of them"
We had no quarrel with Russia or
it's form of Government, but that
powerful country has stood in the
way of every effort of the United
States and other friendly govern
ments to safeguard the lasting peace
of the World. The efforts of Secretary
of State Byrnes and Senators Van
denbere and Connally have been con-
Quoted in the interests of all free
people. On the other hand, Russia
has proved itself to be the most
backward of all the nations. What
are we going to do about it? No one
seems to have the answers to these
troublesome questions.
Maybe time alone will furnish the
answer.
But until the United Nations be-
comes an actual reality the United
States must stand by the records of
all its history. We have never been
an aggressor in a war. We have al
ways been on the defense.
We have way to maintain that
record-and that is by keeping the
atomic bomb in our own possession
and all the secrets that pertain to it,
The United States will never start
foreign war and as long as we have
the atomic bomb 'all buttoned up"
in our possession we ought to be able
to keep out of future wars, as we
would use it for only one reason: Ma
tional Defense. Think it over

mated the increases will add APP

.Low-Cost Wool Fabric
Price Boosted at Mills
To Increase Output
BY the Associated Press

In an effort to increase The output
OF low-cost wool fabrics, the Office
of Price Administration has allowed
an average 10 per cent increase in
the mill prices of these materials.
Even SO, OPA said the action
probably would not result in anv
significant markup in the aver
age cost of clothing pointing out
that many of the low-cost fabrics
have dwindled in production as the
manufacturers devoted attention tc
bigger-prof1t items.
The agency meanwhile worked or
new beef, pork and lamb ceilings
to be imposed next Monday. The
increases over June 80 ceilings will
be greater on the better cuts OF
meat, officials said, than on the cuts
usually purchased by low-income
families.
The Agriculture Department, ir
ordering livestock ceilings reinstated
this week, forecast an average retail
price Genes a pound higher thar
the old ceiling for beef and 3 cents

Hunger Will Engulf
u. S. Wheat Harvest

Wheat from the early harvest
sections in the u. S. has been pour
ing into elevators for several
weeks and the combines and
binders will be whirring for many
more weeks before the last of the
billion-bushel u. S. wheat crop is
secured, but that ocean of grain
will not keep the worlds hungry
mouths filled.
Guy w. Miller, specialist in farm
management, Ohio State Univers-
ity, explains that this nation has
produced three wheat crops in sue
cesSivc years which have exceeded
1,000,000,000 bushels, but the two
preceding ones have disappeared
and not even a normal reserve
from them is left. Right now, u. S.
millers are operating under quotas
and lines of ocean freighters carry
ing wheat race with starvation.
This University specialist says
national authorities do not expect
the world famine specter will be
pushed out of sight before the 1947
harvests. European grain and sugar
beet acreages in 1916 have in
creased considerably over previous

the Ohio farm folks killed in 1945
were more than "A years old.
A report prepared by R. H.

of the 174 who were killed were
As years old or older. The greatest
number of deaths occurred in the
IS and older age group, of whom
81 were killed out of the total of
174 in 1945.
Farmers are much more careless
than their women folk or else the
men are exposed to greater occu-

shows death of 148 males and only

STATEWIDE SEASON ON
SQUIRREL HUNTING

Perhaps no recommendation ever
brought before the Ohio Conserva-
ton Commission at the June Game
Hearing in Columbus received such
unanimous approval by all IA far
mer and sportsman representatives
In 1941 Ohio squirrel hunters
asked for and got a split season.
Their request based on the grounds
that the squirrel population in the
northern counties was critically
low and that a shorter hunting sea-
son for the northern section might
be the answer. But trouble boiled
immediately especially in the coun-
ties just south of the zone line in
which double hunting pressure
arose. So, in order to offset the in
creased pressure of a most certain
increase in the number of hunters
this fall even though the crop is
favorable, the commission short
ened the season and set the dates
for the entire state as Sept. IA to
Sept. %, daily limit 4 and posses
sion 4.

rs farm people in 1945, and MIR.
Stuckey believes that those causes
of death partly explain the differ
ence in numbers of men and
women killed in farm accidents.
Tractors killed % persons, but the
death list from misuse of all other
farm machinery was only six per-
sons.
Mr.. Stuckey points out that most
of the persons killed by tractors
either overturned the machine or
else fell under the tractor while it
was in motion. Such accidents are
due to careless operation; and a
flashlight might have saved the
lives of most of the IA farmers
killed by autos while walking on
the highway.

Mr.. Miller points out that world

foods are almost wiped out. Cur
rent production must Immediately
be used to meet daily demands, so
the 1916 harvest period is only one
more milestone along the road

Mr.. Miller declares there is diff

bought more food in 1945 than dur
ing any other year in history This
