L IS T OF SU RPLUS FOODS FOR M ONTH OF A P R IL Surplus foods which will be avail able to families taking part in the h ood Stamp plan in this area during the A p til 1 to April 30 period were announced today by M. Louis Belan- gie, area supeivisor for the surplus marketing administration. These are the surpluus foods which may be ob tained in exchange for blue surplus food stamps in local stores The nationally designated surplus foods available in all areas fo r the April 1 to April 30 period are as follows: Fresh grapefiuit, oranges, apples, carrots,, onions (except green onions), Irish potatoes, butter, rais ins, pork, lard, all pork (except that cooked or packed in metal contain ers), corn meal, shell eggs, dried prunes, hontiny, (com ) grits, dry edi ble beans, wheat flour and whole wheat (graham ) flour. Wheat Countries all in the Same Boat as to Surpluses American wheat growers are by no means alone in their effo rts to con trol the world wheat surplus in pro ducing exporting countries according to W ill Steen chairman o f the state A A A committee o f Oregon who has recently received word o f steps be ing taken in Canada, Argentine and Australia.

The Argcn.ine and Canadian govJ ernments have been protecting the farmers by offerin g to buy their wheat outright but this has led to d if ficulties. Argentine farmers are as- . eu ui aooui. iu c uts a bushel anc a 1 i.in fa., i o f about 50 cents. Both governments say now they can not continue to buy unlimited am ounts o f wheat unless foreign mar kets reopen. Canadian growers still have much o f last year’s crop piled out under temporary shelters because supplies far exxeced storage capacity o f the country. Australia guarantees wheat farm ers a price o f about 5614 cents u bushels on an annual crop o f not more than 140 million bushels. In return fo r this guarantee the grow ers must agree to market their wheat thru the gov* i nment and carry out eeitain practices designed to reduce wheat acreage. In Argentine it is estimated that nearly 200 million bushels o f wheat W ill be available fo r export in 1941. Canada will have more than 700 mil lion bushels. Both o f these amounts are considerably larger than sup plies on hand a year ago. Because Four hundred miles o f trails and 75 miles o f telephone lines in the Mt.

I f the Battle o f the Balkans actually takes place as now seems close to in evitable the war will really enter its decisive stage. This battle represents immense dan gers to both sides, and both fo r some time have been hesitant to run the risk. Now it looks as if the strate gists may have decided that the pos sible gains are so great that it is worth the gigantic gamble. As Time puts it, “ For Germany a setback in the Balkans would be morq than Germany’s first outright mili tary defeat in W orld War II. It would be the turning point o f the war. “ For Britian a decisive defeat at Salonika (o r anywhere else in the Balkans) would be more than another Narvik or another Dunkirk. It would ¡mean the destruction o f jBritian’s only existing victorious army; the clos ing o f Europe’s back door; the focus, sing o f the entire war upon the Brit ish Isles, where in the last analysis W orld W ar II must be decided.” o f drouth Auttarlia does not have cipated early zummer fire hazard sea large export supplies but even so son as the result o f the light dry win these cannot move freely thru mili ter.
