W^ 1 now jhave to help feed the con ! quered countries as well as i 1 our allies. More people in the world will be hungry ’ and starving this year than at any time during the war. > Reasons for the crisis I may be summed up as fol lows: World food produc ,tion per person is below normal, the effects of war jhave reduced the wheat • crops of Europe and North ! Africa, food and grain have been used up faster throu ghout the world, and trans portation is a serious prob lem. Wheat and wheat pro ducts, food fats and oil are the mainstays in food sup plies being shipped over to avert famine. Home help is needed. There is a job for every homemaker to do in getting food to the world’s people. Home gardens and home food preservations have a special job again this year. Whatever we do for oursel ves- in planting gardens, eating home grown fruits and vegetables, putting up food for winter, frees more foods of the kinds that can be shipped abroad.
