Food supplies to stay about same this year
Government agricultural workers project overall home food supplies for 12 months to July 1947 will be about the same as last year. Canned fruits and vegetables plus juices look more plentiful, while meat poultry and eggs may be slightly lower. Wheat products harder to obtain.

Military and UNRRA needs keep demand high.
