the 1946-47 program, 1t was known
that food grains would again have
to be the mainstay of the years op-
erations. We had record production
in the United States, and food, grain
was the first need of deficit coun-
tries.
AS far back as May, 1946, we an
nounced that definite foreign needs
for around 267 million bushels of
wheat, in addition to other grains,
were already known. Later in the
fall, we placed a general estimate of
at least 400 million bushels on the
probable exports of all grains. BY
the early months of 1947, we said
the ver-all goal would be to move
out the 400 million bushels as soon
as possible, and to exceed this total
by as much as possible by June 80.
The record shows that these goals
were met, and surpassed. The 400
million bushels had left our shores
before May l. The total food grain
shipments through June 80 reached
563 million bushelS-in line with our
top objectives but more than any
one had dared predict could actually
be moved out of the country during
the period.
In spite of these record shipments,
there has been no shortage of bread
-four in this country at any time
during the year. Carryover stocks
of wheat have been reduced to less
than 10000 900 bushels, a very low
figure, but one which is perfectly
safe in view of the tremendous 1947
wheat crop now being harvested.
81 Per Cent to Germany.
About So per cent of the total
grain exports went to the cash-pay-
ing foreign countries principally
the United Kingdom. India, France,
Belgium, the Netherlands and
BRAZIL; about 81 per cent went to
the occupied areas in Germany
combined United States United
Kingdom zones), Italy, Austria, ia
pan and Korea: about II per cent
went to ''UNRRA" countries for dis
tribution principally in Italy,

Dairy products: Exports of dairy
products in 1946-47 are expected to
approximate $4,000 long tons, COM
pared with $4,000 in 1945-46. OF
the 1946-47 total, about 100000 long
tons were procured by the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The discontinuance Of price con-
trolls on July l, 1916, resulted in
some minor procurement problems.
Dairy product prices advanced some
what during July and August of
1916, and the Government adopted
the policy of purchasing at levels
not higher than the old ceiling price
plus the wartime subsidy. Rather

heavy purchases were made under
this policy.
But prices Of dairy products ad-
vanced sharply In September as 1t
became apparent that dairy product
prices would not be recontrolled.
AS result, the department was I'M
able to purchase under its price
policies all supplies needed.
BY December, prices again had
dropped to the ceiling-plus- subsidy
level and substantial purchases were
resumed. The full amounts needed
to meet the formal commitments of
the United States were purchased
by January /, l947s
Approximately 10000 tons of
dairy products were purchased in
commercial channels for the account
of foreign governments and for pri-
vate trade distributions
Dairy Exports Broken Down.
Major recipients of our dairy
product exports were as follows:
United Kingdom, 1876 900 long tons;
Latin American republics, $4,000; the
Philippines, $4,000; France and
French North Africa, Al 900, and the
U. S-U. X. military zones in Europe,
80, 600 tons.
Fats and oils: Production of edible
fats and oils in the United States in
1946 was the smallest since 1910,
while imports were the smallest since
1921. The difficult supply situation
that resulted was the principal rea-
son exports of fats and oils declined
from 337 900 long tons in 1945-46 to
233, 900 long tons in 1946-47.
Actual shipments during the last
six months of 1916 approximated
100000 long tons. In view of the
limited supplies in this country, ex-
ports during the January-June 1947
period were limited to approximately
$4,000 long tons.
Major recipients of United States
fats and oils exports included Latin
American Republics. SO, 900 long tons;
France and French North Africa,
$4,000; Italy, $4,000; Poland, 10000;
united klngdom, 17,O0U, ana Bel
gium, 10000 long tons.
Meats: Meat exports declined from
5S9, 900 long tons in 1856 to 224 900
in 1946-47. The latter total includes
some 900 long tons Of Army ra-
tions and meat food products, not
covered by formal ALLEGATION, distri-
buted by UNRRA and the Army for
civilian relief feeding.
Two major factors were respon-
sible for the sharp decrease in meat
exports: Cd Supplies of meat were
not sufficient to satisfy the very high
domestic demand, which made it
impracticable to allocate and export
as large a quantity Of meat as in
the previous year, and CD importing

Text of Cabinet Committees Food Report

The teTt OF a statement BY
President Truman on the tDorId
food program and the tert OF
report to him BY the Cabinet
Committee on the food program
JolloaD:
Statement by the president.
The Cabinet Committee on World
Food Programs, which appointed
last September to coordinate the
activities of the United States in
shipping food abroad, has submitted
q report that should gratify every
American.
To meet urgent human needs
abroad, nearly 1917 million long tons
of grain ane other food were ex-
ported by the United States in the
year ending June 30, 1947. This is
the largest total of food ever shipped
from one country in single year.
Our country was blessed last year
with the most bountiful harvest in
our history. Our farmers worked
hard to produce record corps. The
food industries, the railroads, the
shipping companies, and the Gov
ernment agencies co-operated to
make possible the movement OF food
on schedule from American farms
to foreign ports.
But we must not lose sight OF the
fact that even the great efforts OF
this and other exporting countries
fell short of meeting the worlds
urgent postwar needs for tood.
Many millions Of people are stlll
desperately hungry.
The Cabinet committee reports
that crop prospects abroad have
been reduced by the severe winter
In northern Europe, and that IN
the months ahead substantial SHIP
ments of food-expecially Whea|
must be continued.
Within our ability to share our
resources. we will continue to do our
part to relieve human suffering ana
to help other countries to help
themselves. It Is the course we must
follow. :.
was possible for us to ship sucn
large quantities Of food aboard are,
therefore, being continued. have
asked the cabinet compittee ana
the co-ordinator of Emergency Ex-
port Programs to carry on for the
coming year. The assistant to the
President will, as in the past. take
all possible steps to help expedite
this program.

Select Mattress Pads
For Smooth Fit
You may make your own mattress
pads out of bleached or unbleached
muslin with soft material inside
for the padding. The important
thing about them is the sleeping
comfort they yield, as well as the
soiling they keep off the mattress
itself
Mattress pads should fit very
smoothly over the bed, and should
be quilted fiat and even so they do
not roll up under the mattress. AS
to size, they should cover the whole
bed and meet with the end of the
| mattress. Most of those you buy
are about two inches smaller all
| the way around. This works out all
right, provided the pad does not
shrink too much in the washing.
incidentally, discarded pads are
nice to use for making a good foun.
dalton for the headboard of a bed,
for valances or for foundations for
slip-covered wooden chairs which
have no upholstery.
Old blankets are good to use for
the inside of pad if you plan to
make them yourself. Cotton blank
!, ets-three or four used in a layer
make an excellent inside Of a
pad when combined with a good
quality, durable muslin.
An easy way to do the quilting
is with an attachment for the sew
ing machine.
| Mattress Covers, Pillow Cases
Of Muslin or Plastic
Pillow cases and mattresses are
difficult to clean, and for that reas-
on it's important to take care OF
both with removable covers, Then
these can be Numbered several
times year, or once month If
your locality is particularly sooty
one.
Fit and durability are the prime
requisites for pillow covers and
mattresses. Use material which is
strong enough to withstand pulling
on and off the mattress or the pill
low. A good grade Of muslin is a
wise choice, some Of the un-
bleached types being particularly
wear-resisting. Or, you may use
some strong sheets as these will
enable you to solve the problem OF
fitting easily.
Sheeting also may be used for
covering the pillows, but it should
be durable as that used for the
mattress.
In cases where there is a definite
allergy to feathers or other mate
rails used in the bedding, plastic Is
good choice. The plastic materia
should be Of the heavier grade a:

Woman,s World
Protective Covers for Bedding
Save Cleaning Time and Wear
Ry C,Aa Haley

THERE was a time when you
L thought that only the finicky
housekeepers made protective COW
erings for their bedding, but that's
not so any more. Any woman who
is interested in saving on the clean
ing as well as the budget, as far as
new bedding is concerned, will
either buy or make the coverings for
bed blankets, mattresses and pill
lows.
Why aren't sheets and pillow
cases enough? Because, not only
does a certain amount Of soiling go
through this type of bedding, but
there is a steady accumulation Of
dust which eventually will mean
that you have to try to clean the
bedding itself - difficult feat in
deed.
There's no doubt about the wear
and tear on the bedding, too, when
you don't protect it, as it gets steady
use. There's apt to be more pulling
on pillow cases, for example, as you
change and use them, if they don't
have covers, and the same is true
Of mattresses.
If you're interested in real clean
illness, of course, it's much easier
to get it by frequent launderings of
the mattress cover, pillow covers,
mattress covers and blanket shields.
Protective measures such as I've
just mentioned are absolute essen
tials in dusty and sooty con1muni-
