ERE are the farming, conclusions I have.come to after a 2,000 mile round trip of Germany's countryside.

The grain harvest this year is well below the nations' hopes, If not expectations. In fact, Nature has stopped in to upset ofcial calculations on the last two harvesta.

No other country in Western Europe has beeh served as badly. whilst Soviet Russia boasts A bumper crop...

Wheat and ryc are the two miserable offenders throughout Germany is vital year, though the home erop of maize will also be below average.

winter. frosts played exceptional havoc Awith the autumn-s0wn plantings, whilst a dry spell in the late spring stunted the growth of what had survived.

Such conditions made the first cut of hny crops also light, though rains which have come since. interlarded with ane periods, have resulted in a bumper crop of another German standby, potatoes.

The other main food crop is sugar-beet, which benefited by the same wenther conditions 13 potatoes and will produce auf- helent sugar for Germany's family needs.

The second-cut fodder crops. much as lucerne and clover, for horses and cattle, are also excel- lent, as well as the late greenstuffs for human consumption. Apples And pears are also abundant.

In so many words, although Ger- many has a sufficiency of many home-grown foodstuffs, the lack of cereals is such a vital disturb- ance to the food and farming economy of National Socialism that the German people will be called upon to endure an even more difficult winter in regard to food than the fast.

by John Morgan

Of The "Daily Herald"

farmer feeding grain to us farm animals, elther mttle or horses, can be charged with high treason. Already not a few are languishing

All home-grown grain has been, re- quisitioned at a fixed price, except farmers' that allowed for the family use.

How this intest edict will be re- sponded to by the widespread mill- lions of #literate, work-slave, peasants which make up rural Germany will turn out to be the Nazi Party's main domestic pre- Decupation in the period imine-. diately ahead.

Decrees nre nover casily stomached by farmers, especially whon

they are as land-rooted and individualistically minded as the German farmer so obviously 1.

One has only to take note of the narrow strips of unhedged culli- vated soll which cover two-thirds of the farmer face of Germany for the tenacity of his individualian: to be realised,

be some 10,000,000 mlich cows throughout Ger- many, with 2,000,000 farmers look- ing after them, an average of only cowa aplece compared with our 10 or 50.

But in Germany it is the farmer's wife and family who do the milk- ing and tend the cows. Except near the Dutch frontiers or on the open hillsides. few grazing cattle aro to be seen. Summer and winter these are kept, indoors, night and day, hand-fed, and looked niter: except they work. In the shafts or plough. a common aight. Such family attention does produce-high- yields, but only by an enormous adultion to the toll of human Grudgery.

This hardship will not be re- flected in famine or even filgher prices. Prices are not allowed to Fice in Nazi Germany; and, more Important, neither are wages. But qualities are deliberately deterior- ating with rationing of quantities even now threatening in the back-nge yield per cow is about 100 Kround,

Only 10 per cent, of Germany's milk production is consumed in liquid form compared, with 75 per cont. of ours. The remaining 84 per cent, or so is skimmed or "separated" for fat, this fat being used mostly for butter.

It is in the use whleht the German State-controlled cream- ories make of tho

About 30 per cent. Is returned to the farms for calf and plg feeding. The rest is turned into cheeses, drinks for children Impregnated with lemon, raspberry and choco- late flavours (often much preferred to whole milk), dried exstin for storage, tinned condensed milk, etc.

Does YOUR BABY Cry?

Your baby does not cry for fun. It is his only way of telling you that something is wrong. Colic, indíges- - tion, sour stomach, diarrhea and constipation are a few of the minor ailments that may upset your child's system and spoil his disposition. Castoria is the medi- cine prepared especially for these simple children's ailments, so do not experiment with strong, harsh remedies intended for adults. Use only Cas. toria. Your child will love its pleasant taste and there are no harmful after-effects.

Hitler himself realises the all- importance of Germany's food problem-and may yet make it the exouse for an external explosion. "Without colonies German space is inadequate to secure the feeding of the nation," he shouted at Nuremberg. "It is an unbearable thought that Germany, year after year, shall be dependent upon good or bad harvests."

Food is still the "Achilles heel" of even Nazi Germany.

'B' Stands for

Baby's Own Tablets.

These tie tablets are the prescription of an eminent physician who made a special study of children and their allments over a period of twenty years, and are entirely aulted to their delicate internal organs.

Pleasant tasting and therefore easy to give, Boby's Own Tablets are guaranteed absolutely pure and free from any opiate or narcotic.

An ideal remedy for the health troubles of children, the first action of the tablets is gently to cleanse the digestive tract, remov- ing any congestion therein; then they settle the stomach, aid digestion, promote healthy appetite. By the cleansing aclion they help to ward colds, relieve croup, expel worths. At teething time they are specially helpful, as their action tends to case the pains and induces restful sleep in a perfectly Hafural way. Obtainable at all chemists, Baby's Own Tablets are
