what is occurring to his wages and
he is hotter than an incensed

Nobody can predict what is 60
ing to occur as result of the
new OPA legislation passed by
Congress this week. One thing
is certain, the country has dis
covered that the acute shortages
of meats, butter and other prod.
ucts were more apparent than
real and it is doubtful If the
country will tolerate another ex.
tended producers and professors
strike if, and when, controls
are restored.
Plenty OF Food
Anyone who takes trip
through the middle west and
west can never be convinced that
a food shortage exists. Never
have crops of all kinds including
livestock been m ore plentiful
than this year.
Fat, sleek cattle roam the hills,
where, because of plentiful rains,
forage is abundant. Fat hogs In
large numbers are seen. Wheat
and other cereal crops are better
than average, fruit crops out here
are plentiful and in many places
falling off the trees because of
lack of pickers.
While the middlewest may not
have normal fruit crops, the west
more than makes up for 1t. Live
stock is not suffering anywhere
in the country. It's bountiful
crop where the supply If actually
released will more than equal the
demand. 80
Buyers Are Aware
Buyers of foods, the house.
wives of America, are not un.
aware of what has occurred In the
past several weeks. The counters
which formerly were bare and
forlorn looking have blossomed
out into full stocked show cases
containing select cuts of beef,
pork, veal, chickens, and poultry
of all kinds. Luncheon meats,
cheese and butter have re.
appeared and may be obtained,
but only at greatly increased
prices.
And the buyers are not buying
as the plotters who withheld
their products expected. They
are buying, but with greatest
care and sparingly of the wealth
of food which is temptingly ex.
hibited before them.
On their side, the merchants
who run the food business are
confident that as soon as the first
reaction is over that the Amer.

places of business and purchase
