IS (•HA.NGEI)—
.41! ironic twist developed in the
first meetings of the Food Con
ference’s Interim Committee here
last week. Government friends of
T'nder Secretary of Agriculture
Paul Appleby h?d that gentleman
all groomed to become permanent
chairman of the Committee.
From an inside source, this
column is informed that the for
eign delegates wouldn’t have any
part of the Apppleby play. Their
objection was on the ground that
the Under Secretary was too
bound up with the prese’it gov
ernment. They pointed out that
in erse a different Administration
should win at the next election,
•Appleby would “not be useful’’ in
position which would call for

self and any new group in power.
A compromise was reached:,
Aprleby was made temporary
'•hairman—for a day. Then a
Crnadlan was elected permanent
chairman in his stead.
Tl RREV CROP MARKED—
Some time ago the Army-Navy
•>eople informed WPA that 10
million pounds of turkey must bo
assured for the armed forces. Ac
cent was on the word ‘“must.”
WFA took the matter up with the
industry, told the toys that it was
up to them to get industry com
pliance. Otherwise there would
be an order issued stopping all
sale of turks to clvillars until the
cmount needed for the troops was
obtained. Last Friday the order
was Issued.
'nUTK SHORTAGE IX)OMS—
drastically reduced. This raake.s
hogs at $13.75 none too profita

Reports from the middle west
indicate that there is not the
supply of corn on the farms which
many have been led to believe. In

The neighbor winked, took the
bet, 'sold' the corn*'af’ ceiling—and
collected the $500 wager. Added
up, this resulted in the corn cost
ing the purchaser $1.07 per
bushel, plus $500, equal to $1.50
