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 in well below the nations' hopes, If not expectations. In fact, Nature has stepped in to upset official calculations on the last two harvests. J

No other country. In Western Europe has been served as badly, whilst Soviet Russla ៦oass · h bumper crop,

Such conditions made the Arst eut of hay crops also light, though rains which have come since. interlarded with fine periods, have resulted in a bumper crop of another Germen standby, potatues,

The other main food crop 14 sugar-beet, which benefited by the

conditions potatoes and will produce suf-

elent sugar for Germany's family needs.

The second-cut fodder crops. such as lucerne and clover, for horges 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 sumeteney of many home-grown foodstuffs, the lack of cereals is such vital disturb-

A 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 last.

This hardship will not be re- flected in famine or even higher prices. Prices are not allowed to rise in Nazi Germany; and, more Important, neither are wages. But qualities are deliberately deterior- aling with rationing of quantities even now threatening in the back- Kround.

Both wheat and rye flour are now heavily tinctured with Inaize four. Potato flour is to be. added to the mixture from October. And bread must be sold at least a day old if only to deter consump- tion of it.

farmer feeding grain to his farm animals, ether cattle or horses, can be charged with high treason. Already Het a few are languishing in concentration camps. All home-rown grain has been re- quisitioned at a fixed price, except that allowed for the farmer fully use,

How ith Intest edict will be re-. sponded to by the widespread mil- floun of iterate, work-slave peasants which make up rural Germany will turn out to be the Nazi Party's main domestic pre- accupation in the period imme- diately ahrad.

Decrees arc never Casily stomached by farmers, especially when they are as land-rooted and Individualistically minded as the German farmer so obviously in.

One has only to take note of the narrow strips of unhedged cult- vated soll which cover two-thirds of the farmer face of Germany for the tenacity of his Individualism to be realsed,

HERE are reckoned to

be some 10,000,000 mileh tows throughout Ger- many, with 2.000,000 farmers look- Ing after them, an average of only 5 cows aplece compared with our 10 or so.

But in Germany IL 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 sides. few grazing cattle are to be seen, Summer and winter these are kept Indoors, night and day, hand-fed, and looked after: except they work in the shafts or plough, a common sight. Such family attention does produce high yields, but only by an enormous addition to the toll of human drudgery.

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

It is in the

the use which the German State-controlled ercam- erles make of the "separated " milk which adds so materially to the nation's food supply, in con- trast to ourselves.

About 30 per cent, is returned to the farms for enlf and pig feeding. The rest is turned into cheesCA, drinks for children impregnated with lemon, raspberry and choco- into flavours (often much preferred to whole milk), dried casein for storage, tinned condensed mlik,

etc.

No

ro farmer may sell a drop milk on his own account except to a dis- trict creamery. He has a fixed price, and must keep up-level deliveries or there will be trouble,

The producer's price is about the same as about to. a gallon. So Is the consumer's price, at be- tween 2s, and 28, 4d. a gallon.

Does YOUR BABY Cry?

Your baby does not cry for fun. It is his only way of * telling you that something is wrong. Colic, indiges- tion, sour stomach, diarelica 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 excuse for an external explosion. "Without.colenies · 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.
