Better Plan For Changes In Your Diet
Washington AP reports the Agriculture Department warns of tighter future food supplies. Unrationed foods are scarce and fall supplies look poor for eggs cereals fruits and vegetables. Vegetable output is down about 13 percent from last year and early freezes hit apricots cherries peaches plums and prunes. The peach crop in southern states may be half normal. Fall and winter egg supplies will be low and livestock could be affected. Unless extraordinary grain yields occur, current production cannot be held through 1943. Feed grain consumption may exceed production. Per capita potato use is projected at 125 pounds for 1943 with about 400 million bushels total. Butter and cheese stocks remain plentiful this year.
