WASHINGTON,
And the
now the more effort Europeans will be able to put into “helping themselves for next winter. Here are some comments from U. S. officials who have just returned from the famine-stricken areas in Europe on what the people are doing to help themselves: “It's a common sight in Greece and other countries to see farmers and their children tugging at plows and crude hoeing devices across fields. The wives. go behind trying to keep the plow straight. They have. no horses or mules to do this work. Share Oxen, Plows ‘wpittle children who look almost too weak to stand up can be seen working on every farm, weeding and doing ‘whatever task they can to aid in getting a good harvest for next summer. “The city people and office work‘ers are doing all they ean to help the farmers. In many places employees are being permitted to leave their offices and places of business as early as one o'clock in the afternoon to go to work on farms and collective gardening projects the rest of the day. “It has become the common practice in many areas for farmers to pool or share horses, oxen, and even ‘a hoe or a plow. And anyone who can get hold of a spade or a rake and can use it is much sought after.” Struggle Becomes Epic The struggle to get farms in Europe and the rest of the world back to normal production has been epic.

baskets of Europe. But recent rains have saved the crops. No - Statistics Yet The North African wheat crop should be close to 90 per cent of normal. This country usually exports wheat but. its population has increased close to 20 per cent and will probably consume its own crop. Experts say it is still too early in the crop season to give any statistics on just how much food
is one of the biggest factors. If it continues favorable, they say, the 80 to 90 per cent estimate might be realized. They claim it is difficult to make comparisons with pre-war years because there were few accurate crop statistics recorded before the war. But in being optimistic about the coming crop U. S. officials stress the pregent food shortage which is daily ¢ ing thousands of lives through starvation itself and diseases resulting from malnutrition. As one expert puts it: “The biggest harvest ih the world this summer isn’t going to do the man who died from starvation today any good.”
