THE food outlook for the coming months li
Improved by the general Interest being
manifest In this community in a victory garden
. , ...... v program.
We hear talk among some
,t5 city people of back yard gar
dens in town, and others are
making plans for garden plots
In the suburbs. Some families
are planning to go together on
suburban or vacant lot garden
projects.
If all of this talk material
izes into action, the Klamath
community will produce many
times the volume of fresh
vegetables hitherto grown here. If it turns out
lo be Just talk, we may find the food problem
pretty difficult through the coming months.
For no one has any assurance that the
canned vegetables and other processed foods
will be forthcoming even at the reduced rate
now provided under point rationing. Even im
ported fresh vegetables may be materially re
duced. Inexperienced
A LOT of us are going to be Inexperienced
at the gardening business. But the county
gent's office is prepared to provide informa
tion, instructions and advice, and as the garden
ing season opens a good deal of such data will
be carried in the columns of this newspaper.
Seed stores and other establishments will be
found anxious to help the home gardener in
very way.
It is going to take work. A garden soon '
becomes nothing but weeds if it is neglected.
We know.
But it is pleasant work, and it produces a
lot of personal satisfaction for the gardener. A
favorable feature is that all of the family can
contribute. Busy parents will find that children
can do much of the gardening. It is whole
come exercise, and can replace golf, automobile
riding, and other leisure activities of the easier
years of the past.
The water problem In town is not so serious
as some may think. The local system offers an
ample supply. Irrigation rates will be in effect
during the gardening season, and some of us
who have tried town gardening have found the
water bills were not seriously increased.
The important thing this year is to produce
the vegetables. This food shortage may go on
for a long time.
News Behind the News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, March 2 Absence of com
ment on the new food prohibitions is due
to the fact that no one here knows much more
than' you about how it will
Tkl work out.
' m,. canning restrictions are
practically a prohibition of
that form of food. An allow
ance of two or three cans a
month for each individual
practically eliminates canned
goods from the average table.
This will throw the average
appetite into three new di
rections more fresh vege
tables, more meats, more eat-
Ing-out at restaurants.
All these avenues of escape cost more, so
the burden will fall most heavily on the poor,
the class which used more canned goods any
way. '
But the three avenues of escape are already
being closed up. The fresh vegetables future
Is doubtful, because, of farm fears due to
doubtfulness of weather conditions, etc. Surely
we can expect a sub-normal vegetable supply
to meet the doubled demand.
The availability of meats is equally as doubt
ful, or worse. The government is suggesting
that restaurants be cut to 90 per cent of their
December supply. Restaurant men have rushed
in here from all over the country to stop the
move, protesting that December is their smallest
month, in view of the holidays, etc. But the
restaurant outlet will be curtailed also.
Miserable Outlook
T"HE rationing, therefore, can only be inter
I preted in connection with the shriveling
supplies of vegetables, meats, and restaurants,
and creates a situation so vast in its possibilities
as to defy a precise advance prophesy.
The miserable outlook should inspire this
government of economic totality in Washington
to double or treble the farm production im
mediately, and provide the means of doing it,
Not a single official, however, seems to be
thinking along that line.
The current Wickard. policy calls for an eight
per cent increase in farm production this year
over last, and Food Administrator Wickard has
maintained a radiant hope that this inconse
quential increase will be achieved.
But the senate agriculture committee checked
up on him with a better source. He was asked
to poll the 2800 county agents throughout the
United States, and it then developed that 2400
of them disagreed with him
This 85 per cent predicted the food quotas
would run down as much as 30 per cent below
normal, and they know because they are on
the ground.
This certainly means that, in 85 per cent of
the farm counties of the United States, a de
crease must be anticipated. Only in 42 counties
was an increase foreseen.
Nothing could more completely expose both
the inadequacy of the current food program and
Mr. Wickard's hopes.
Winant Instead of McNurt?

VI cessor to Manpower McNutt. but those

much good to him in any job now.
Congress is exerting a legislative leadership
at last, and any official who is unable to deal
with them on agreeable terms suffers an im
pairment of usefulness which cannot otherwise
be overcome.
A suggestion has been made that Mr. Roose
velt might also seek successors for Labor Sec
retary Perkins, and perhaps Food Administrator
Wickard. Certainly a strong personality, able
to assert constructive expansionist leadership, is
needed in the food crisis, and Madam Perkins
long has failed to meet the demand for wise
top guidance of the quarrelling labor elements.
Some authorities have even dared to suggest
an administrative reformation' which would dip
Into republican ranks get Willkie for McNutt'a
job, Hoover for food, and someone of a judicial
nature, like Chief Justice Stone or Associate
Justice Roberts, for labor.
Time is pressing and the problems are in
creasing in perplexity.
