Organise for Food Agriculture
An international authority that
would provide international agricul
tural credit is one of the proposals
of the United Nations Interim Com
mission on Food and Agriculture in
its report recommending that a Food
and Agriculture Organization of the
United Nations be set up. The FAO,
proposed to 44 governments for their
acceptance, grew out of the United
Nations food conference . in June,
1943. Other functions the FAO
would include are: to collect, in
terpret and disseminate information
relating to food, nutrition and agri
culture; to recommend action with
regard to research, education, ad
ministration, conservation, agricul
tural production, processing, market
ing and distribution of agricultural
products; to furnish governments
with requested technical assistance.

may be stored in dry cellars. In any

Less Nitrogenous Fertilizer
American farmers will have less
nitrogenous fertilizers as a result of
the curtailed supplies of nitric acid,
now critically needed by ordnance
plants, WPB says. Some of the loss
may be offset if arrangements can be
made to import larger amounts of
Chilean nitrates for agricultural use.
Arrow Poison Now Saves Soldiers
Curare, a deadly poison that na

"flying death" because they used it
to make poison arrows, is now saving

Plan School Lunch Program Now
Before school opens communities
should plan their school lunch pro
gram, the War Food Administration
says. First step is to organize par
ents, teachers and representatives
of civic organizations to discuss the
number of children to'participate nd
facilities and financial assistance
available. If the group finds the
community is unable to act or is
"without financial' assistance, the of
ficial sponsor, usually the board of
education or the state department of
education, may appeal to WFA's Of
fice of Distribution. A Federal fund
of 60 million dollars is . available for
last year's. This can mean a seri
ous shortage of feed during the
coming winter, but if every farmer
will strain a point and save just a
little more hay and roughage than
he had planned, roughage will be
considerably increased.
"The farmer who has considerable
acreage of soybeans for seed can
afford to cut a few acres of hay
rather than sacrifice part of his
livestock or let his neighbors sacre
fice theirs," says Enos Blair, Exten
sion agronomist at State College.

The Japs apparently figured that

Chungking radio said, inasmuch as
the Allied capture of Myitkyina by
Allied forces occurred at the height
of the monsoon season, when the
Nipponese, assuming the Allies
couldn't "take" the monsoons may
have diverted the "main part" of
their forces to the eastern sector of L
China.
