With state and national goals already set for poultry and turkey production In 1944, It is important, states Mr. Parker, county agent, that growers be In formed as to the war needs and the outlook for available feeds. The national gbals for 1944 compared with 1943 are as fol lows: two per cent more eggs 4 per cent fewer chickens raised and 16 per cent less commercial broiler production and 3 per cent less turkeys. Oregon goals for 1944 compared with 1913 are as follows: 4 per cent less eggs, 1 per cent less chickens raised, 26 per cent less broiler produc tions and 8 per cent fewer turkeys produced. The reason for the greater reduction in Oregon is due to the fact that the state is in a deficient feed area. reservists at the naval training school on the Iowa State Teach ers college campus, Cedar Falls, Iowa.

NEWSOf oua MENwWOMEM IN UNIFORM Bigger Supply of Rationed Food for Schools Promised WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. (AP) Children will get larger amounts of rationed foods in school meals, the OPA said today in announcing revised ration al lowances for schools serving meals meeting certain complete nutritional standards set by the food distribution administration. Schools now may apply to local war price and rationing boards for allowances of rationed foods on tho basis of the number of persons served in January and February and the amount of food currently used, rather than on the amount of food used in Decem bers, 1942, the base month lor instil utlon users' allotments. OPA said that a reserve of food points equal to 25 per cent of the January-February allow ances can be obtained for adjust ment purposes until exact allot ments are determined. These newly available allow ances should represent -an appre ciable increase in meat and pro cessed foods for most of the G0,- 000 schools under the FDA school lunch program, OPA said. Schools not under the FDA setup may obtain similar increas ed rations on the basis of com parable standards of meals serv ed and the number of persons served, OPA added.
