Pennsylvania farmers meet war needs with more livestock
Pennsylvania farmers boost cattle hogs and chickens to aid the war effort but face feed shortages. Secretary Miles Horst warns feed mixtures lack protein, reducing milk output despite 14,000 more milk cows. Efforts aim to ship grain from northwest to the eastern seaboard, with potential grain from western Canada via the Great Lakes, depending on ice-free lakes. Bees contribute wax for munitions. Horst urges beekeepers to increase production and maintain colonies, repairing equipment and replacing old combs before the season.

Rabies threat grows around Corry and Erie area
Four more persons received rabies related treatment at Hamot Hospital as health authorities enforce a strict 100 day dog quarantine in Erie. Reports note potential danger beyond Corry in Chautauqua County and nearby areas with no proven cases between the city and Erie. The state health department may intervene for emergency measures while Corry awaits guidance from state offices. Local quarantines alone are unlikely to protect the public.
