Federal Government Plans To Cushion Effect on Agriculture. WASHINGTON. Plans to overcome the unfavorable effect of the war upon American agriculture are being drawn up by the federal government through the office of foreign agricultural relations. While the war has been hurting the farmers, agricultural department experts believe that when peace is will be resumed, the after-effecfar worse. They are convinced that farm prices will continue to suffer unless the war lasts more than three years, when increased foreign buying will begin to bolster the market. Complete governmental control of the economies of belligerents has marked the present conflict. The wars in Europe and in the Orient have assumed an economic character through the widespread use of blockade and counter-blockadBlockade Closes Markets. Allied naval blockade closed central Europes markets to American German occupation of Pogoods. land, Norway, Denmark, Holland, Belgium and France, and the entrance of Italy into the war barred American products from almost the whole of Europe. Some of these nations had been among this countrys best farm markets. Agricultural exports were also seriously affected when the allies pooled their economic and financial resources and centralized purchases through a government commission. This effect was increased when England shifted as much of her food purchases to her dominions as was possible. She took this step to save her foreign exchange for the purchase of war necessities. British imports of cotton and wheat this countrys two principal export crops has dwindled greatly. Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace estimates that exports of American agricultural products in the fiscal year which began July 1 will be at least 30 per cent below last year. This will mark an 80 per cent decrease below the level attained in the first World war. Englands Market. Continuation of the war through 1942 may force Great Britain to purchase a larger proportion of her agricultural supplies from the United States. The agricultural department warns, however, that by this time the belligerents would be apfinancial exhaustion. proaching American agricultural products would be needed, but nobody could pay for them. It appears likely that both belligerents and neutrals will find it advisable or necessary to continue many of the economic controls established during the war, the department added. American trade can be reconstructed after the war only so far as a way is found to finance the transactions. Foreign countries can purchase American products only by exchange of goods or through the shipment of gold to this country. The department points out that use of gold will be difficult because the United States has most of the worlds supply. Washington, D. C.

Right This is Nancy, about whom naturalists are speculating regarding the care she will give her prospective offspring. No baby elephant in previous history in the United States has survived. By RICHARD A. KELLY (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) CHICAGO, ILL. Natural- ists have their eyes turned toward Brookfield zoo, near Chicago. For there some time during August or September, a baby elephant is expected to be born. This is a big event, not only because of the principals involved, but because it may provide the answer tef a riddle that has puzzled scientists for generations. Will the baby pachyderm thus born in captivity live and be successfully reared to adulthood? Never before in the United States has a baby elephant survived infancy. So, as the keepers at the zoo are preparing the colossal obstetrical ward for Nancy, a buxom, flve-to- n Ceylonese elephant, scientists are asking each other what are the chances of her offspring growing up into a fine, strapping pachyderm. Based on experience tables, these chances seem rather dim. Four times before in history in this country a female elephant has labored and brought forth young. Four times did she attempt to murder her calf and then savagely refuse to nurse it. Four times did the baby jumbos die after a short and pathetic existence. The mother in each of these cases was Princess Alice, an elephantine trouper with the circus of a generation ago. Tragic Jinx? But will the tragic jinx that followed Princess Alice also pursue Nancy? Not necessarily, says Robert Bean, curator of mammals at the Sells-Flo-t- o Brookfield zoo. In the case of the previous four births, he said, because the same mother bore all four calves, it is possible that she was an exception which might not occur again. She evidently had some Idiosyncrasy that made motherhood murderously distasteful to her. Her experience does not necessarily mean that all female elephants would behave the same way. It Is a matter of record that one elephant calf was born and successfully reared in a Berlin, Germany, zoo. The same thing might occur at the Brookfield zoo. It Is well known, however, that some species of elephants do not reproduce In captivity. Because of the extreme rarity of elephant births their reaction cannot be predicted. Nancy Is Docile. Nancy, unlike her predecessor, Princess Alice, is a docile animal. She is only 24 years old, or much younger than Alice. We are preparing to take every precaution to prevent accidents from marring a successful birth. Nancy will be given every encouragement possible to be a normal mother. She will not be separated from the other elephants unless it becomes absolutely necessary. We hope that accustomed surroundings will have a calming effect and induce Nancy to assume her motherly duties toward her baby at once. If she refuses, however, the little calf will be fed cows milk. We believe this will be a successful dietary procedure if the young ele It involves an Increase of 11 times the present program for training pilots, observers, gunners and aircraftsmen and an increase of seven times in the present program for the production of aircraft This would give Australia by the time the program is in full operation in March, 1943, a total aviation personnel of 57,473 and an air force of about 2,000 planes. With the program and production then in full operation, Prime Minister Mcnzies believes that Australia can increase the air force each year until it ranks with the most powerful air nations in the world. Large Gain This Year. Under the program as launched, Australia will have 28,500 trained men, consisting of crew's, pilots and ground personnel by June, 1941. By June, 1942, an additional 18,012 will have been trained and by March, 1943, when the entire program will be in full operation, an additional 10,961 will have been trained, giving Australia an aviation personnel of 57,473, which will be maintained thereafter.
