JAP WAR EFFORT BELMSUCED Heavy Shipping Losses Will Begin to Show Effect Say U. S. Naval Experts. By Sandor S. Klein United States Naval Staff Correspondent Washington, July 6 U.R Naval experts here predicted to day that Japan's war effort soon will begin deteriorating at an accelerated pace as result of the heavy losses Inflicted on enemy shipping during the last six months. Shipping, according to Secre tary of Navy James Forrestal, is Japan's "Jugular vein" and the conquest of Saipan, 1450 miles from Tokyo, moves the Amer ican knife" closer to Japan's throat. Must Us. Reserves Naval observers said that more and more during the coming months Japan will have to flip Intn Ha war .tnrWnllf,. flrfumll- lated before the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The original appropriation included the Davment of $3.50 per acre for up to 25 acres harvested this vear. The acreage limitation has now been taken off and farmers may be paid for the entire acre- aeo harvested as a seed crop. There is a possibility that the available supply of grass and legume seeds will fall far short of requirements this year. All farmers who have not ap plied for field certification of ladlno seed should do so at this office at once, as field inspection will be made during the next three weeks and late applicants may not be able to get the neces sary field work done. Biq Drop Indicated For Hog Production Hog numbers are due to be ad Justed very sharply toward pre war figures, latest usua es timates of farmers' planr on sows to farrow Indicates. Adjust ments in pork production planned by farmer, appear to be" , " considerably more drastic than requested in the WFA's llMt goals as a major step in ttic necessary adjustment of record livestock numbers into safe re lationship with overtaxed feed supplies. Spring farrowings are indicated as 10 per cent below and fall farrowings at 28 per cent below the 1944 WFA goals. The goals were set 13 per cent helnw the 1943 production for fnrrnwln and nine per cent down on fall farrowings, Size of the indicated reduction In pork production Is from 121. 696.000 pigs saved In 1943 to about 87.925.000. This would still be the third largest pig crop of record 16.634.000 below la-ti but 12.600.000 above the 73.330,-1 000 average for 1933-42. ThiSj spring pig crop is estimated 24 1 per cent under 1943 and the fall crop 33 per cent down. Biggest percentage decrease Is planned in the western states! followed by the estimated drop In the north central states thej nation's pork barrel to 61.526. 000 from 1943 staggering total of 85.310.000 pigs saved. Major motivation behind the sharp re duction In hoas is a combination I of the tight feed situation and marketing problems tnat piaRuco the huge 1943 crop. This is evidenced by the marked de crease In the number of farmers who plan to keep sows. Machinery Output Shows Improvement Farm machinery output In Mav brought production for the 1943-44 year to within 10 per cent of schedule after the pro duction program had lagged by 22 per cent on March 1, 17 per cent a month later, and 14 per cent on May 1, according to fig- MONEY TO LOAN On JEWELRY.

For cooking eggs in the shell, the water should simmer, never come to a boil. For egg thickened mixtures always cook over hot water either on top of the stove or in the oven.
