Bernard Montgomery's Eighth army faced difficult going.

With the thick growth and rocky terrain making overland travel slow and difficult, air transports have been flying over these obstacles to land troops close to Jap bases. After disembarking the troops, the transports then take off to return again with supplies with which to carry on the battle. Because of this strategic use of the air, the Allies have cleared better than half of the eastern coast of New Guinea, and now are slowly driving further northward toward the important Jap airplane base of Wewak, from which the enemy have been sending fighters and bombers against Allied positions.- RUSSIA: Germany's whole Dnieper river line was threatened with Russian troops fighting in force on two sectors of the western bank of the broad waterway. It was this line that Hitler ordered held at all costs, and German generals counter-attackethe Russians in force, with the intention of smashing the Reds before they could develop their drives and leave thern too weak to carry on a major d offensive.

Of the total amount of food sent abroad, shipments of pork represented 15 per cent of our total supply; lamb and mutton 12 per cent of supply, and beef and veal, 1 per cent. Shipments of cheese totaled 11 per cent of supply; milk products 3 per cent; butter, 1 per cent; dried beans and peas 11 per cent; dried fruits 21 per cent, and canned fruits and vegetables, 1 per cent. In all, 9 per cent of our total food supply was shipped during the first eight months, compared with 6 per cent last year. 1943, LABOR: Bach to Fold Six hundred forty-fivwere ready ' thousand to return to the ranks of the American Federation of Labor upon the AFL'i acceptance of John L.

S. food production in 1943 is expected to drop 7 per cent below last year. Because of a scarcity of feed grains, however, animals will not be finished off as customarily. Corn production is estimated at 3,055,605,000 0 bushels against last year; wheat 835,816,000 bushels against 981,327,000; oats bushels against 1,358,730,-00and barley 336,212,000 bushels At 115,p00,000 against 426,150,000. tons, feed grain output would be about 9,000,000 tons below 1942. Although soybean production, at 206,000.000 bushels, is expected to drop slightly below last year, the department of agriculture is looking forward to bumper crops of potatoes, rice, beans, peas and peanuts. Oilseeds should equal last year's yields. Good weather in September enabled farmers to speed harvesting of late crops. Outside of the corn belt, many beans intended for harvest were cut for hay, partly because of drouth damage and partly to increase ordinary fodder. 645.-00- CIVILIAN GOODS: May Male More , Because production schedules for some types rf military and naval equipment con be reduced and the favorable turn In Allied fortunes in Europe wiil allow army and navy officials to plan their needs more accurately, an Appreciable percentage of American industry may be reconverted to the manufacture of civilian gwds.

Griswold lost his bets, however, and here is shown attending a auction in Omaha, bidding for hogs with which to pay off his wagers. In payment of one bet, Griswold sent a fancy porker to Governor John C. Vivian of Colorado. But much to Governor Vivian's dismay, he discovered that he would have to surrender 700 ration points, equal to 20 weeks' supply, to have the bog butchered.

During the same period, practically all types of hogs brought the $14.75 top. The same condition prevailed as the second week of marketing under the ceiling began, with only younger pigs, some thin sows and some heavy stags and boars dropping below the $14.73 mark. The 1943 spring pig production compared with 61.013,000 in 1942 and 49.234.000 in 1941.
