Supplies of several major foods which wil' be at normal or above include all the cereals such as cun, rye, 0aws ana rice, and sugar and vegetable shortening. | Milk Nearly Normal | The supplies of all vegetables will | remain normal, except potatoes and | the legumes such as beans, peas and peanuts. | Supplies of fluid milk and cream will be “nearly normal;” condensed | and evaporated milk ‘‘about nor- mal;” and fish, “about normal.” On the other side of the picture are foods which are likely to re- flect the calamity of the drought, those which will exist in a less than normal stipply and are qlite likély, ,4to rise in price. None of them, how- ever, will be more than 10 per cent off, except the pork supply which may drop 30 per cent below nor- mal.

Checse Good Food In order to find suwnstitutes for higher priced meat there are sev- eral alternatives the housewife can take, Miss Van Deman says. She can use fish or cheese. Fish is ‘expected to maintain a normal price. Cheese, although it may be among the foods that show a more than usual rise in price, is an eco- nomical food, Miss Van Deman | points out, because so little is waste. emergency Further, it is valuable to give flavor foods such as mac-| to the “bland” aroni. ,flculture, in discussing the drought A “Women can swp buying steak Daily Cross-word Puzzle ACROSS Solution of Yesterday's Puzzis 1.

We could cut our use of that food some and still leave a comfortable margin of safety, the bureau food experts say. Canned meat recipes are available at the bureau offices here which were worked out last winter for families on federal relief. They make tasty dishes and could,easily be used by the housewife on mod- erate income, the bureau says. If milk prices sky-rocket, Miss Van Deman counsels “taking milk in other forms.” The new dried ! milks which come in powder form !can be used in cocoa, the milk soups and creamed vegetables. 1 My Beauty Hint.

It has underwrit- ten the reduction of surplus acre- age and the slaughter of surplus livestock, paying the farmers out of a processing tax charged the consumers. Don't Want Program» Blamed Now the drought has done what Secretary Wallace had given crop control measures at least two more years to complete. As a result, he says, food prices should rise about 6 or 7 per cent. That is about as big an increase as farmers can ex- pect to get. If those who pro- cezs or distribute the farmer's pro- duce jump their prices too much, the administration expects its crit- jics to cry, “That's what comes from | plowing under wheat and plowing o {under corn and cotton and killing | pigs.” { ,,\ Mr. Roosevelt and Secretary Wal-| {lace still should be agricultural | tration, believe crop productlon controlled through the adjustment adminis-| alternately increased and| decreased according “to market re-|’ ;qunemc-nts and they don’t propose; to have unduly high prices blamed | on their program. At first the government will try, to publicize “unfair” practices. ‘There may be no need to do any more than that. Consumers coun- cils eventually are to be set up inl every city and town to advise the public on food prices. | If appeal to popular sentiment | against profiteering does not keep prices within a range the adminis- i tration considers equitable or if| combined interests corner a com- modity of which there has de- veloped an insufficient supply, th«-i President may lower the import duty on it by as much as 50 per: cent. In numerous instances that| would permit the profitable entry! of a similar foreign product at prices which might dictate domes- tic values. A second avenue of control lies in the NRA codes prescribing “fair practices” for the processors and: handlers of foodstuffs. It is consicered altogethér prob- able that the government would not undertake price fixing except as a last resort. It is believed to have authority for that under the agri- cultural adjustment act. The secre- tary of agriculture is empowered to license producers and distribu- tors to do business and to revoke| or suspend licenses whenever rules and regulations are violated. The administration has inter-| preted the licensing provision to] convey authority for establishment of minimum prices to be paid pro- ducers. The question arises in the official ‘mind whether, by virtue of the same provision, the AAA may the maximum price to be paid to farmers and to be charged on the consumer’s bill. There have been five court de- cisions upholding the administra- tion’s right to fix minimum prices paid to dairy farmers against one unfavorable decision. Officials ex- pect the question eventually to get into the supreme court. Remembers War Experience Frankly, however, the adminis tration wants to stay as far from outright price-fixing as possible. The government had an unhappy experience in that field during the war when it regulated prices by Ii- censing industry under the Lever act. At first the government tried to find the average pre-war non- speculative margin of profit and hold retailers and wholesalers to it. It ran into difficulties because of the difference in operating costs of manufacturing plants in the; Isame industry.
