Save More Food Reporting that intense human suffering and death still can he averted in most of Europe "provided present rations can he maintained," Herhert Hoover calls on Americans to save more food. Hoover, head of President Truman's Famine Emergency Committee, is in Europe making a first hand survey of the Continent's food needs and reports that these countries are rationing most foods and making strenuous efforts to meet their food needs. In his first report to Secretary of Agriculture, Anderson, Mr. Hoover observed that variances in transport and distribution systems of each country create special problems, and then summed the situation up this way : France needs imports of fats totaling 25,000 tons a month to maintain its present 600 gram monthly ration. To continue the present daily bread ration of about 10 ounces, France will need 1,050,000 tons of wheat between April 1 and the next harvest; Italy needs about 650,000 tons of wheat to keep up the present daily bread ration of about eight ounces between now and the next harvest. A huge black market, low wages and mass unemployment complicate the Italian picture; French North Africa, hit by a severe drought, this is the only area so far visited in which the farmers are no better off than the city people. To continue the present daily bread ration of 10.6 ounces, North Africa will need 250,000 tons of wheat from now to June 15. duction than last year; (2) grow a supplementary hay and pasture crop so the alfalfa and clover can he left for seed; (3) improve the yield of hay and seed by use of phosphate; (4) harvest all the alfalfa and clover seed that you can; (5) save the seed by carefully harvesting and threshing; and (6) market the seed in 1946. Extra returns to farmers who harvest hay and pasture seeds are available through the AAA program. A payment of 7 cents a pound will be made for alfalfa and alsike seed and 9 cents for red clover seed harvested and moved into commercial channels during 1946. In addition to the poundage payment, most States offer a practice payment for harvesting these seeds on a limited acreage. Food Needed For Long Time Four countries Greece, Italy, India and China stand in the greatest need of food to relieve critical shortages and will have to receive help for the longest period of time, Roy F. Hendrickson, UNRRA Deputy-Genera- l reports. On the other hand, there is a "good chance" that coming harvests in Poland, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia will afford temporary lightening of the food supply burden this year. Mr. Hendrickson said that the daily grain ration for four of the hard hit Nations and the amounts required each month to maintain that ration were as follows: of a Greece, about loaf, needs 62,000 tons each month; Italy, half a loaf, needs 252,000 tons a month; Yugoslavia, of a loaf and tons monthly; and Czechslo-vakis of a loaf, and month. Bread is tons 116,000 per the principal and in some cases the only food of these countries. Transportation and proper distribution are problems in China. In both India and China, the rice shortage compels reliance on wheat. Production S. -- , t " . v V ,; - - . V , - .

Farmers Get More, Pay More Increases in meat animal, vegetable and grain prices lifted the general level of prices received by farmers 2 points during the month ended March 15 to a new high since August 1920, the USDA reports. At the same time, the index of prices paid by farmers (including interest and taxes) conr tinued its advance and also reached a new 2 5 year high. The parity index at 179 percent of the 1910-1average is now 53 points above its March 1941 level. five-yea- -- 4 Increase In Seed Urged Farmers arc asked to prepare now for larger harvest of legume and grass seeds in 1946 for more alfalfa and clover seed is needed this year than in 1945.
