Food Supplies
Get New Slash
WASHINGTON, May 9 UV)
A further cut In food supplies
at home was announced today
by the agriculture department
as tlie. government posted high
er prices for grain to get more
bread fur famine areas abroad.
The deiwrtnient said civilian
supplies of fats and vegetable
oils such as laid and margarine
will bo cut 10 per cent dur
ing the April-June quarter from
the amount available the first
three months of the year.
The smaller allocation rwults,
the department said, from a
seasonal drop in production
particularly of lard and heavy
shipments of margarine and
shortening during the first quar
ter to meet foreign relief needs.
However, the department cal
culated that civilians will yet
mure lard and margarine this
year than they consumed In the
1934-39 prewar period. But,
there'll be less shortening and
other edible oils.
