Geese feathers are in considerable demand for use in making flying suits for aviators and in other ways to protect American soldiers and sailors against 1 the cold. The feathers are now bringing a good price. Poultry raisers usually pluck the feathers from live geese prior to United Nations. The consumer is a woman. If youre a man, youll probably say, Hey! What about me? Well, Mister, youre practically nobody when it comes to deciding what youll eat and what youll wear. Women buy 80 per cent of the food sold and 75 per cent of the clothing. Further than that, they influence almost all customer purchasing. This is where the housewife can offer one of the greatest contributions to winning the war. She can see to it that the diet of her family fits in with farm production and the shortages created by the war. She should be informed on the problems involved in producing the goods she wants and getting them into her hands. As the buyers for some 34 million households from coast to coast, women have a tremendous responsibility to the families they feed and clothe.

Food is no longer readily put over the head of the goose and available if the housewife has the price to pay. Some of her old - time staples are on the scarce list, items such as tea, bananas, coffee and sugar. consumers, the urban group, comprise over 75 per cent of the population of the United States. Foodstuffs and clothing combined account for about 40 per cent of every dollar spent by the average urban family.

Farmers are urged to aid the nations program of victory by collecting and selling all their old scrap iron and steel. If the 1,250,000 tons of scrap iron and steel on American farms were collected and used in the making of battleships there would be enough to make more than twice as many as there are today.

For this the buyer can thank a sugar program which provides payments to growers that are helping them step up production. Conservation on the farm may seem a far cry from top quality lettuce or potatoes or green beans. It may seem even farther from tender meats or milk rich in butter fat. And farther still from lower prices. But farmers know, and consumers should be aware, that and practices mean larger yields and better qualiland produces ty. better crops than depleted soil. Wholesomeness Guaranteed. Regulatory laws administered by the United States department of agriculture directly affect homes and consumer income and buying power. Consumers are protected against substitutions and swindling by the Pure Food and Drug act. It provides a safeguard for wholesome foodstuffs, thereby protecting both health and pocketbook. Research activities of the department are equally related to consumresearch er interests. Sixty-fiv- e have experiments laboratories constantly in process. They dont just develop cloth from milk and plastics from soybeans. They also determine methods of increasing production and strengthening the quality of farm products. Foods are carefully analyzed by experts so that their vitamin and mineral content can be accurately given. Nutrition studies set up minimum food requirements, show how they may be met at the least cost and what available foods may be substituted for those on the scarce list or headed that way. Steering Food Purchases. These nutrition studies are of particular interest to the housewife.

The Victory? Specials, announced from week to week, are a part of this plan. They use up products which are plentiful, often preventing waste and loss to the farmer, and allowing the buyer to take advantage of diet variations at a better price. Whether or not the consumers needs are met really depends upon the accuracy with which production has been scheduled to obtain an adequate and steady supply of food at prices fair alike to producers and consumers. This is the consumers best insurance against the problems of scarcity. Something known as acreage allotment is now being used to increase production of certain crops needed for the war, a part of the change-ove- r from normal peace-tim- e war production. farming to The farmer is converting his fields to war production just as surely as the manufacturer turns his machines from automobiles to airplanes. Production without adjustment would be inexcusable waste at any time. In wartime it is criminal. What Crop Reserves Do. Probably Mrs. Average Housewife wouldnt be able to tell you what an granary is but shes enjoying the advantages of living under a farming system that provides for crop reserves. In recent years, lots of wheat, corn and other products have been stored against a time when crops might be smaller or demands greater. When drouth once pushed corn production as much as 40 per cent below normal, meat prices skyrocketed and consumers suffered hardships. But now with the granarys stored reserves of more than 25 per cent of a normal years crop, there is plenty of feed to convert into meat, eggs, and dairy products. Crop insurance has a formidable sound, but it is a simple procedure that pays big dividends to the consumer as well as to the producer who meets the premiums. Such insurance keeps farmers in business producing needed goods by guaranteeing them, for example, some wheat or cotton income every year even if a crop fails. This protection gives farmers the assurance they need to go in for production of critical war crops.

The individual buyer these days must think always of her purchases as they relate to those of the 34 million other American housewives what the result would be if that buying were multiplied by 34 million. Would it create new scarcity or make a scarce food Or would it have the effect of utilizing the foods that are available in abundance? Alarm over possible increased food costs has been evidenced by some .homemakers. The retail cost of a basket of foods, representing annual family purchases, amounted to $405 in September, 1942, an increase of $73 over the price of the same foods in the period from 1935-3but the cost was still $10 lower than in 1929. Workingmens families today can buy a basket of specified food products for the smallest share of family income on record since 1913. In September, 1942, it required only 22 per cent of the family income. During the preceding five years the same food basket accounted for 27 per cent of the income. Average family income has been rising more rapidly than food prices during the last three years and through the first 10 months of 1942. Reasons include higher wage ' rates, more hours of work per week with over-tim- e payments, and more persons employed. non-existen- t? Piles, PAZO ointment has been famous for more than thirty years.
