See No Relief Ahead Until Harvest Time. LONDON. Tha British government, govern-ment, declaring tha world Is faced with a wheat shortage of eight million mil-lion tons, published a white paper on the subject of food shortage which predicted that near-f amine conditions condi-tions would continue until harvest time, the United Press reports. "Only a combination of favorable circumstances can bring about any material improvement, while unfavorable unfa-vorable crops would spell disaster," the white paper said. Meanwhile, it said, most of tha world will have to do with dark bread, skimpy helpings of meat, fewer eggs, less ham and bacon and- mere dribbles of beer and whisky. Summarizing the outlook for key foodstuffs the white paper said: WHEAT No early solution on the wheat shortage. RICE Acute shortage will not meet tha demands of eastern countries, coun-tries, where rica Is a staple food; future prospects not encouraging. MEAT-Suppliea will lsg behind requirements for some time; future supplies depend on size of this year's grain harvest OILS AND FATS No substantial improvement until tar eastern exports ex-ports are available on a prewar scale; this year's supply will be one-seventh, one-seventh, of the prewar, supply.. ' SUGAR The bottom of the barrel bar-rel will be scraped this year; afterwards the outlook is better. The white paper listed five reasons rea-sons for the food shortage, worse now than at any time during the war: 1. Fuel, fertilizers and livestock feed has beenkepi irom needed areas because transport is disrupted disrupt-ed the world over. 2. Lack of faith in currency has restrained producers in many countries coun-tries from selling for cash. 3. Farm - to - market distribution j has been disrupted; farmers usual ly have enough to eat, the towns people suffer. 4. Producers were hesitant to sow prewsr wheat acreages because midwar surpluses obscured the out look. 5. Exceptional series of drouths in main production areas made a serious situation critical.

Value of Soil Conservation Discussed ii It takes a rich land to support a democracy. We may also agree with Sterling North when he said, "Everytlme you see a dust cloud or a muddy stream, a field scarred by erosion, or a channel choked by silt you are witnessing the passing of American De mocracy. The crop called 'man' can wither and die like any other crop." There are 72,000,000 acres of flat lands and 300,000,000 acres of sloping land in the United States. Our big problem is how to increase the intake capacity of the soil, how to make possible the storage of rain in the soil. We can do that by improving the organic content of .the soil, by strip cropping, and by contour plowing. Where rains exceed the capacity of intake of soil, we must provide means of taking off the rain so that it might not cut or destroy the soil with its accumulation of silt. This can be done with the construction of outlet channels. We should increase in-crease the land's fertility and use with the various types of engineering engi-neering structures now available. Run-offs from unusually heavy storms must be taken .care of An agricultural adjustment must be made. This is a new pattern of farming for America. It is our answer to this problem of what to do about losing our soils. The food, fiber, and fats which we must have for our welfare, for the-isupport -of the - whole social structure, come from the land. Increased farmer efficiency efficien-cy will bring him higher purchasing pur-chasing power. It is the responsibility of the district supervisor, to see that the farmer takees advantage of all the technical advice and in formation at his disposal".

OHIO. - Two research re-search workers have shown that growing teeth can be transplanted successfully from one kitten's jaw to another. Possibly, said Dr. Harry H. Shapiro Sha-piro of Columbia university, further experiments may indicate similar transfers could be made in human beings. He and Dr. Bernlce L. Maclean Mac-lean of Hunter college, New York, performed the tests with kittens. Dr. Shapiro reported the results recently recent-ly to the annual meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists. Two Russians at the Moscow Academy of Science have done the only other work in this field, said Dr. Shapiro. Russians Use Sun's Rays To Fire Their Boilers MOSCOW.
