as much: turkey as last year and only slightly less chicken, “Larger meat supplies per person than a year ago and near-record egg supplies will tend to keep eggs from rising more than seasonally during the ‘summer and fall,” it said. Grain Crop Credited

Department officials said the anticipated increase in meat supplies stenis largely from the prospect of an all-time record corn and wheat crop. They said this will enable producers to feed their cattle and hogs to heavier weights. In addition, some producers probably will hold back bred sows which otherwise would have gone to market, resulting in a larger fall pig crop. The fall pig crop had been ex-! pected to slump 17 per cent because of the tight feed ‘situation, How much a record corn erop would offset this reduction is not certain. Army Needs Reduced

The department said less poultry of all kinds will be marketed in coming months than during the corrésponding period last year. But a substantial cut in army requirements and large cold storage holdings are expected to compensate for the cut. It said domestic suppliés of fats and oils, including butter, margarine, lard and salad and cooking oils, depended directly on the course of prices. “Higher prices,” it said, “will tend to increase imports, decrease exports and increase production of fats and oils moderately in the balance of 1946.” Even so, civilian supplies of fats and oils will be smaller than last year or prewar,

To-appreciate the spectacle in the lagoon, the observer must don goggles'of retrospect and project himself over 10 miles of peaceful Pacifie into a holocaust where concussion, heat and deadly radiations are making a small area of earth as untenable as the surface of a nova in the distant sky. He must know these things which are unseen in a column of smoke and unheard in a distant boom.
