READY MARKET SEEN FOR MILK
NEW YORK, Dec. 30 (UP)— Demand for milk products will remain high even if the war ends in 1945, Theodore G. Montague, president, the Borden Company, said today in a year-end state-
ment.
•He pointed out that needs and policies of the government will determine the amount of dairy
market at good prices for their entire milk output, even if it reaches the 120.000,000,000pound goal set by the War Foov
Administration, he said.
What their ultimate market will be," he continued, “depends to a great extent on the duration of the war and the plans finally adopted for shipping fooa supplies to the allied nations in
the postwar period.
“Even if the war ends this year, it seems unlikely that there will be any sharp drop In the demand for milk products. Military authorities have indicated that demobilization w.ll require a considerable length of time, and there are reports that any slack in buying by our government will be taken up by orders from Russia and Britian. ^ “However, our own domestic future hopes of the American market is the one on which dairy industry are centered. There seems grounds for optimism, even though the demands cf the postwar market are difficult to estimate. We know that there was a steady pre-war increase in the usage of milk products, and that this

ERN FRONT, Dec. 29 (UP)— Five press releases from the 7th Army public relations office suggested today that the German army may be out of gasoline by the middle of January. The releases were based on captured documents, statements of prisoners and “information reaching headquarters.” One quoted a captured chemist and oil man as saying that at the end of September the gasoline reserve equalled only 6 weeks consumption but that ac quisition of Slovakian stocks might have been adequate for another two months. Another prisoner, who had bev’n in supply regiment, said the regimental truck company could handle only 60 tons of supplies daily and that frequently the trucks ran out of gasoline and had to get help from passing
vehicles.
A second release described a captured order Issued by Field Marshal Von Rundstedt for the western theater operations on “conservation of fuel.” The ordsr was aimed at elimination of all non-essential trips f.nd decreed that no motor transportation should be us^d where railroads were available. It further decreed that essential trips where railroads were not available should be made In dtesel propelled or charcoal burning vehicles, reserving synthetic gasoline strictly for combat. The third release quoted a recent message from a supply section to a German division ordering extreme conservation of fuel and giving priority to tanks and anti-tank weapons. It also Included an observation from a priaoner that “due to the shortage of fuel, vehicles, particularly Salf-propeMed guns and other artillery, could move only a few hundred yards.” A captured memorandum from a German workehop company to an artillery battalion waa quoted In a fourth release; “Over three weeks ago your battalion received 20 litere of gasoline with a promise to return It to us shortly. ‘Please be kind enough to send the gaaoMne back as soon as possible. Due to the shortage we can’t possibly do without it’’ The fifth release said that information reaching 7th Army

A continuation in the decline of pork production in Indiana from the 1943 all-time peak U in prospect according to figures released today by the Department of Agricultural Statistics of the Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station. Farmers of the state, according to the estimate, saved a total of 7,140,000 pigs in 1944, 16 per cent less than last year's total of more than 8,000.00 but, despite the decline, the figure Is still well above the ten year
average.
The survey, conducted by rural mall carriers, in co-operation with the U. S. Department of Agriculture, shows 3,865,000 spring pigs were saved last spring in addition to an estimate of 3,225,000 pigs saved this past fall. These figures are approximately 25 per cent under the ISIS record crop but about 25 per cent over the ten year average,
1988-42.
The record shows 486,000 sows farrowed the past fall, 25 percent under last year and 19 percent fewer than the spring total, but well over the average for ten
years.
Prospects are, however, that in the spring of 1945 a total of 571,000 sows will farrow, a drop of nine percent under 1944. Tlie report is consistent with a national survey which shows hog production is dropping sharply throughout the nation from the record crop of 1943. Also the indicated number of sows to farrow next spring ‘s down seven percent from the number to farrow in the spring of 1044. Taken as a wftiole, the nation is producing 86,753,000 hogs in 1944 which is down 29 percent from the peak production reached in 1943.

Tecumseh, Mich., hopes that 100.000 bushels of “the Lord’s wheat;” grown from an original cubic inch of kernels, will toe available to help feed the hungry of some war-ravaged coun-
try.
Hayden, assisted by the Detroit industrialist, Henry Ford, started the project in 1941 lit the hope of reviving the Biblical practice of tithing, giving 10 i per cent of one’s Income to th6 church. He got the idea from a sermon preached at Tecumseh In 1940, basing his program on Leviticus: “Six years thou shalt sow the field and prune thy vineyard, but in the seventh year shall he a sabbath of rest.” Ford furnished the land, labor and
equipment |
The first cubic inch of whaat planted yielded 50 cubic inches which was harvested with a sickle, and 10 per cent went to the Tecumseh Friend’s 1 church. The rest was planted. Recently the fifth crop was planted on 275 acres, said to be the largsst farm in the nation operated without plows. The land was
disked two ways. i
Hayden expected the project to yield 100,000 bushels of wheat two years hence and, In anticipation that the war then will be over, proposed to turn over the entire yield to help feed wfcrdestitute people. It will be impossible to harvest such a cfop with a sickle, and he had $he acquisition of a modem “Illcrop” harvester In mind with ii* bert M. Marsh, food lnduat$i$fe specialist for a large peacetime manufacturer of agricultural
machinery.
The crop, Hayden explains, will not be his, nor FYird's, but “the Lord's wheat.’’
