moved to share this country’s
short wheat supply to avert
what he called mass starvation
abroad.
Further, a reduction in the
nation's high level of meat and
poultry production was re-
quested a>, an additional means
of making more wheat avail-
able for bread for the hungry

Mr. Truman instructed gov-
ernment agencies to take nine
steps designed to conserve
wheat and other food and make
it available for export to other
lands where, he said, famine

The figures on quantity do not
tell the full story, however. This
year’s com is of much poorer qual-
ity than that of either 1944 or
1945. A considerable portion of
the 1945 crop—which is being fed
now—did not mature fully before
killine frosts. As a consequence, it
provides less feed, bushel for bush-
el. than the previous crops.
The short corn supply probably
will be reflected mainly in reduced
feeding of hogs during the summer
and fall. In such case these ani-
mals would be marketed at lighter
weights, a development which
would cut fall and early winter
supplies of pork and lard.

Poll Tax Total
Indicates Heavy
Voting Power
Poll tax collections for 1946 In
Red River County totaled 4.519 as
of January 31. Mrs. Lindsay McAl-
lister, tax collector, reported this
week. This figure is slightly lower
than the number of poll taxes In
1945, when 4,790 were received. The
year’s official total will not be
known, however, until all mail has
been checked.
A decrease in the number of poll
tax receipts does not mean that
there will be fewer voters this year
than last. The voting strength of
the county is expected to run be-

be average or below.
Wheat supplies, the department
reported, are 17 per cent smaller
than a year ego. This reduction
has caused the Government to
whittle down export allotments to
Great Britain.
Short supplies of corn may lead
some farmers to feed wheat to live-
stock instead. Should this practice ]
be carried out to any extent, ex-
port allotments to some other
countries also would have to be re-
duced.

Over Wide Area
Return Of Rationing
Might Be Necessary.
The situation is such that an un-
favorable soring and summer crop
season could reduce production, of
meats, fats and oils, and butteT to
a level where a return of rationing
would be necessary to assure equit-
able distribution at home and to
meet minimum export require-
ment. There are no indications so
far of a bad season in this country,
but severe drouth is sharply cur-
tailing gTaln production in South-

Appeals For Sacrifices

means a return to wartime condl- |
tlons in some sectors of our econ-
omy.”
“We’ve won the war,” he said in
a broadcast sponsored by the State
Department. “We can’t afford to
let hunger and starvation defeat us
now.” But he ackonwledged that
there will be some starvation In Eu-
rope this winter “despite til our
efforts to prevent it.”
The short supply of grains raised
the possibility of drastic changes
in food allotments and even of a
return to rationing of meat. A poor
growing would force a sharp liqui-
dation In livestock numbers and a
reduced supply of meats.
