"In our' best years”, he said, “ we raised about two-thirds enough food to set a decent table for ottr people— just a decent table, not the kind that nutrition experts feel is necessary to bring .robust health and resistance to disease. “ If w e all stop eating and gave all o f our food to the other lands, which of. course we could not do, we would be giving a sustaining diet to about 135,000,000 persons, and who is to feed the rest?” Coupons 15* 16 To Be Used For Canning: Sugar Coupns Nos- 16 and 16, in War Ration Book One, each will be ’good for five pounds o f sugar—for home canning—starting Inst Monday.

This condition ap­ plies to cities as well as rural ceme­ teries. The rainy season has made it im­ possible to keep the lawns mowed as in the past.

Ohc Dayton cemetery now has 150 sheep to do part of the mowing. Attention is called to the fact that monuments and headstones will be set as soon as labor is available. .Per­ sons having orders can settle with companies furnishing the stones with every assurance the work will be com pletcd .by* the cemetery management just as soon h» possible. The situation is tlie fault or np one person.. It probably never was Hkc this before.

S. Supreme Court on Mon­ day agreed to review a hew challenge to the constitutionality o f the penalty tax imposed on wheat produced in ex- cesss of government quotas. The case Was assigned for argu­ ment on June 1 and decision is prom iscd on July 7. The second suit is filed by Cong. William B. Lemko, R. N. D., ns attorney for a group o f farmers in Ohio, Kansas, Michigan and Pennsylvania. The Corn Belt Farm Dailies, live stock publications, has the following to say on the livestock and meat sit. uation: ■ ' “ The government the past few weeks has succeeded in forcing down the price o f livestock to fanners, es pecially hogs, “ Solvency is a prerequisite to con­ tinued production. The farmer has no ambition to get rich out o f the war, but he must be able-to make ends meet to stay in business. Thus the pressure on livestock prices, at a time when costs are mounting rapidly, is beyond his understanding,’ " The publication charged that- govern­ ment officials have convinced them­ selves there will not be enough feed to fatten the present number o f hogs on farms and have made it their goal to reduce hog numbers by cutting feed prices. "How can they kliow this early how much feed there will be?” the publication asked, “ It is going pretty far to play with th‘e nation’s food sup­ ply on the basis o f guessing. The sensible thing would be to give the producer a price that encourages pro- duction, when the nation needs that production so sorely, "Let the producer take- the risk if there is a risk. He is willing. If the producer has to sacrifice 200 hogs at 160 pounds because he runs short o f toed, wouldn’t that be bettor than npt to have the hogs, just in case thef could be fed ou t?” Mobile Blood Donor UnitToBe Iii Xenia Fourth visit to Greene County of the’mobile blood donpr unit provided by the Cincinnati add Hamilton Coun­ ty Red Cross chapter has been ar­ ranged fo r A five day period, July 27 through July 31, i f was announced Saturday by Miss Katherine Smith, executive secretary o f the Greene County Red Cross chapter.
