WORLD FOOD OUTLOOK
FOR NEW CROP YEAR
By George Martin
Although the prospects for the domestic harvest have not improved owing to the continuing bad weather, the British Government has reduced the extraction rate of flour from 90 per cent. to 85 per cent. The excellent crops in Canada and the United States have made this measure possible. It does not mean that Britain will now relax her economising of wheat. The rate of 90 per cent. had only been introduced to enable the country to make her utmost contribution to the warding-off of famine in the needy countries during the critical months before the new harvest.
The return to the war-tinio ; ure expected to total not quite 5,000, rate of 85 per cent. will provide 000 tons against 3,000,000 tons in 1945-40 and 4,000,000 tons before some additional offal for cattle-World War 11. It is anaumed that feeding and thus arrest the anti- about 1,000,000 Lons
