Meat Sharing Plan Is Compared with Systems in Europe No Regular Distribution of Meat Products Maintain ed in Greece ?The average American under the voluntary meat sharing plan feasts on meat by contrast with the strict rationing of meat products overseas ?in both friendly and enemy coun tries. The adult American, under the meat sharing program, is asked to consume no more than 3 1-2 pounds weekly of the retail cuts and can ned meats made from beef, pork, veal, lamb and mutton carcasses. Hie 2 1-2 pounds do not include the "variety" meats ? hearts, kidneys, livers, sweetbreads?the meats made from the heads, the tails and the feet, and scrapple and souse made from carcass trimmings and other ma terials. Nor do the voluntary restric tions apply to fish and poultry.

However, the average adult Brit on, at present, gets slightly under 2 pounds weekly of the meats limited in the United States?31 ounces as against the 40 ounces called for in our voluntary meat sharing pro gram. But the joker in the 31-ounce fig ure is that this amount constitutes just about all the meat?of any sort whatever?that the average Briton can buy. The so-called "variety" meats?liver, sweetbreads, etc.?un restricted in the United States?are not available in Britain for these reasons?Cl) the low rate of animal slaughter in the British Isles, where practically all meats must be im ported, and (2) the fact that the meats which are not restricted in the United States do not ship well and consequently are not exported to Britain. While Americans are free to sup plement their consumption of the limited meats with fish and poul try, these products are highly limit ed in Britain. Fish, once an import ant item in British diet, is at pres ent 70 per cent below the pre-war level Poultry, never a large item of diet in Britain, is one-third be low pre-war level. Moreover the supply of important alternate foods for meat is also lim ited in Britain. Inasmuch as Brit ain's former substantial imports of shell eggs have disappeared entire ly and with home products one third below peace-time levels, the average Briton is expected to re ceive only one egg a month this win ter. The supply of cheese, however, is somewhat above the pre-war lev el. While meats are not rationed in Canada, the supply is limited through restriction of the supplies for do mestic use. Making huge sacrifices to aid the Mother Country, Canada is shipping large quanties of food to Britain, including its entire supply of canned salmon and canned beef, while a two-year voluntary ration ing program is being carried out on ham and bacon. In Germany, which largely is feed ing herself by theft of supplies from conquered territory, the normal consumer is limited to 12 1-2 ounces per week of the types of meats re stricted in the United States. In urban centers of unoccupied France the average adult is limited to 8 8 ounces weekly, while peasants in the rural districts are restricted to 6.3 ounces ? less than a half pound. Occupied France is believed to have a slightly higher meat ra tion than the unoccupied territory but definite figures are not avail I able. The ration in Italy varies from 3 1-2 to 5 1-2 ounces weekly, plus 1 1-2 ounces of sausage. In Russia, meat is rationed in the cities but not in the villages. The ra tion in Moscow is 8.8 ounces per week, a standard believed similar to the ration in other Russian cities. The ration for Norway is listed _at 7.1 ounces a week, but actually, tif view of the meat shortage, the Nor wegian considers himself lucky if he gets half that. The same is true in other German-conquered lands. In the Netherlands, to cite another in stance, the weekly ration is posted at 10.5 ounces, but if a Hollander gets a third of that in any one week he is fortunate. The ration for Bel gium is 4 9 ounces a week. Greece has no regular distribution of meat. While meat sale officially is regulated to one day weekly, re ports from Greece indicate that the only meat available is what can be obtained in the "black market." Nothing is known about the meat situation in Poland?except that the Poles starve. The ration of Neutral Sweden is 5 1-2 ounces weekly, while Bulgaria's is 7. lounces, Croatia's 5.3 ounces and Serbia's 4.4 ounces. The Slovakian ration is 14.2 ounces. Slo vakia raises slaughter cattle and transportation difficulties in that country may curtail shipments to other areas. Hungary has two meat less days every week. On three days of each week no pork is sold, while on four days the butcher is forbid den to sell veal and mutton. The Japanese normally consume little meat.

J. W. Broom, one of the great agricultural lead ers of North Carolina. Tom Broom began work as a county agent in Union County on December 1, 1907. On December 1, 1942. he will have served his peo ple for 35 years and during that time he has brought about a great agricultural revolution in methods of^soil building largely through the use of lespedeza. Mr. Broom decided first that the soils of the county, im poverished through years of cotton and corn (arming, must be improved and, to this end, he sought for fool proof methods and practices. He in troduced lespedeza until now it is a cash crop through the sale of seeds. Two large firms buy or reclean the seed and offer a ready and depend able market. Nearly every farmer grows pure bred seed grain and the planting of cereal mixtures for hay and graz ing also was introduced by Mr. Broom as a next step. A large mill now buys all the surplus grain that can be grown in the county and will mix. on order, any grain ration, for poultry, cow or hog, according to formulas worked out by experts of the North Carolina State College. Seven milk routes traverse the county to gather surplus milk from cows which have followed the sod, pasture and grazing crops now being grown on the improved soils. A re cently established poultry killing and dressing plant connected with a freezer locker establishment will take care of all the surplus poultry and eggs produced in the county to complete the list of markets needed. There is, at Monroe, a large cotton warehouse to handle Union's basic crop and the town has become known as one of the best cotton markets in the State. All this just didn't happen. Mr. Broom helped it to come about. Ceilings Definite plans are being made to place a price ceiling on live hogs, with similar action expetced in the near future on cattle, according to a recent OPA announcement.
