A United Pre:s survey of 30 states showed the following handicaps facing dairy farmers: : 1.

They réconmended freezing of remaining worl ers on the farm and a boost in price ceilings to prevent disposal of productive as well as poor dairy catile for beef. Here are rep esentative dairy sit- . uations in various sections: CALIFORNIA — Dairymen said that in the Los Angeles area, third largest milkshid in the nation, 50 per cent more dairy cows are going to slaughter than a year ago. Mounting cosis and loss of labor are blamed. TEXAS—J. E. McDonald, commissioner of agriculture, said the “abandonment of . . . dairies as a result of the farm labor shortage is unquestiona oly more serious than ever before ir: the history of Texas. NEBRASK/ —Farm officials said dairy output vas down 7% per cent + for the first nine months of 1942 as compared with 1941. Twenty-five dairy herds, including the state’s largest, have been sold recently. A milk shortag: is expected. WISCONS! N—Walter H.

SEE LESS MEAT IN FEW MONTHS

Less Butter and Cheese for 'U. S. Tables Also Seen as

Army Needs Grow.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 (U. PJ). —There will be less meat, - butter and cheese on the dinner table a few months hence because allied fighting men. will need more of these foods to build war-winning energy, agriculture department officials said yesterday. They added that when meat rationing begins—probably’ about Feb. 1—it’'s a “good guess” the weekly allotment for each civilian adult

will be somewhat less than the two and one-half pounds originally planned, with proportionately smaller amounts for children. And there is a good chance that cheese—and possibly butter—will be rationed ‘along with meat. A study by the office of agricultural war relations indicates that civilian consumption of all dairy products next year may have to be slashed by about 12% per cent, with the accent on butter (18 per cent), cheese (43 per cent) and evaporated and condensed milk (21 per cent). Increased military requirements and expected smaller milk production were given as the reasons. On the basis of this study, agriculture officials recommended .to the war production board's food requirements committee that the government regulate distribution of dairy products. But the committee decide make a further study of the milk supply before acting— despite a warning by Secretary of Agriculture {Claude A. Wickard,

OPA ‘SWEATS AT 80 DEGREES

But Officials Who Ask 65 For Home Temperatures ‘Need’ Office Heat.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 (U. P.). —The office of price administration, which tells folks in the fuel-oil rationed East that 65-degree temperatures are healthful, has been heating - its headquarters here up to 80 degrees on occasion. OPA temperatures, as a matter of fact, have been so high in recent days that employees have been

One day last week, when the outside temperature was 30, a check showed that 206 of the OPA’s 742 windows were open to the chill breeze—with the result that the inside temperature fell from 80 to 74. With 70,000 Washingtonians applying for fuel oil allotments—10,000 more than original estimates— and with Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes, calling for a 10-to-12 per cent cut in petroleum consumption in the East, the OPA vouchsafed an explanation of its own

WHEAT CEILING
