Methods Os Meeting Meat Ration Told Wickard Asks For Aid Os Housewives Methods of meeting the 2Mr p< un<l per week meat ration and at the same time helping to win the war are suggested by secretary of agriculture Claude R. Wickard in a signed article in The American Magazine in which he calls housewives, "the quartermaster* ot the home front" and suggests how they may best perform their important duties in feeding the nation. "Statistically." Secretary Wick ard writes, "there is no serious shortage of meat . . . l'n<P-r rationing at the rate cf 24i |M>unds of m-at per person per week, eac h of us would have about 120 pounds of meat a year. That compares with an average consumption of 131 pounds of meat for the 10 years be tween 1930 and 1940. and is only 12 pounds under the 142 pounds which we ate per capita during 1941 — hardly a mouthful less a day.” Secretary Wickard warns that flsli will not offer a meat substitute Icecausc* of restriction« on salt water fishing due to submarines, but he adds that the country has a bumper crop of chickens on hand —lO percent more than last year. "There was a time," he aaya. "when a chicken in every pot stood for prosperity. This year it will signify patriotism. If every American family will have an estra chicken every so often Instead of lieef, and a cheese dish now and then instead of pork, the pressure on our meat suppllcw will be eased a great deal.” The secretary then gives the- following advice to housewives of the nation: "Housewives should always remember that In the management of the whole American food supply, they are the quartermasters of the home front. A great responsibility revets upon them. If they let patriotism dictate their grocery purchas es, they can help Immeasurably toward solving the great problem of food distribution. The rules are simple and easy to remember: ”1. Buy what is plentiful. ”2. Buy what Is fresh. "3. Buy what is produced locally. "4. Buy what the government aske you to buy through its victory food program. "5. Don't hoard or waste food. “Observance of those rules la moat important Thia Thanksgiving finds us with more food on hand than ever before. The nation's farmers have broken all records for food production. But we muet govern our use of nature's bounty by the necessities of wartime "I'nlike Industry, agriiulture cannot be put on a double shift Most fields will produce only one crop a year In 1943 more farmers and farmers' sons will be wearing khaki than In 1942. There will be leas rubber on farm tractors and farm trucks Fertilizer will be less plentiful The food needs of our Allies may be greater. ”1 do not wish to be alarming, hut we must soberly consider all these facts. During the coming months our soldiers and sailors will continue to be the best-fed fighting men on earth. Our workers and their families will get all they want to eat. There is no reason why any American should be hungry this winter, hut we must make the moat of our great abundance." One affliction Is better than a thousand ezbortationa.
