HARD ON THE FARMER
A committee of House members
visited the public institutions of the
District of Columbia, and learned
that in all of these institutions,
butter substitutes are used for
feeding the inmates, but the of
ficials get butter on their tables.
The farmer who gets only a nickel
a pound for his hogs, is told that
there is an oversupply of pork pro
ducts. Yet there are thousands of
inmates in various public institu
tions hungry for real butter and
real lard products.
Even the Secretary of War says
he is buying an average of ten mil
lion pounds of lard substitutes
every year for our army. These
lard substitutes are made from fats
and oils, practically all coming
from foreign countries. The Sec
retary says that in 1937 only 3,361,
000 pounds of lard were purchased
by the Army, while during the
rjumammajmmanammaHjanmmamammamamnmmmmum:

■ MALTED MILKS ...10c j
jsame year 10,175,000 lbs. of lard
substitutes were purchased. In
1938, 10,884,000 pounds of lard
substitutes compared with 2,444,
000 lbs. of lard. In 1939, 3,284,000
pounds of lard and 9,897,000 of
lard substitutes. Cost prices had
no real influence or effect in con
nection with the«e purchases, for
in almost every instance prices paid
for lard and lard substitutes were
exactly the same. To farm dis
trict members who ask why Amer
ican farm products are not used,
the answer comes that the substi
tutes are “just as good.” In some
cases the^e members are told that
even the beef from the Argentine
which the navy buys, is better than
American beef.
Americans In Norway
There are about three thousand
Americans in Scandinavia who
want to come hqme. Nearly all of
ttoem are there on business. . It
costs our government quite a lit
tle money to help them get out of
the war affected countries. There
is criticism from some people who
feel that these Americans had
plenty of time to come home before
war actually started. But there is
another side. America has been
afer foreign trade. We have en
couraged Americans to go to for
eign countries to carry on business.
These Americans take a chance
and stay as long as possible. If
the Department of State did help
them and if some of them were
killed or injured, the Department
would be criticized. So the Depart
ment is hard pressed during these
wars. It must get these Ameri
cans out.
Believe it or not, there is only
one government in the world which
can help our Department of State
get Americans out of Scandinavia.
That is Germany. So every day
our officials here are in confer
ence with the German officials
working out ways and means of
getting our folks out of troubled
areas. These Americans mostly
get out of Scandinavia now via
Malmo, Sweden, and thence into
Germany and on to Genoa, Italy,
and sail for home. If Italy should
get mixed Uj> in the war, the only
outlet forrefugees would be

LOTS OF MONEY
Many letters have been received,
asking this office for information
as to the total amount of money ex
pended for the army and navy and
also for relief purposes since 1939.
In answer to these inquiries, the |
following figures are given. For
1939 Congress appropriated for the
army, navy and civil functions of
the army, a total of $1,352,710,
385.34; for 1940 for the same de
partments, a total of $2,071,958,
878.00 was appropriated and it is
estimated that a total of $1,954,
261.099.00 will be appropriated for
these three activities for 1941. For
relief, including work relief, CCC
and NYA, Congress appropriated
$2,824,136,000.00 in 1939; $2,050,
600.00 in 1940; and it is estimated
that in 1941 there will be a total of
$1,507,450,000.00 appropriated for
these activities. This makes a to
tal appropriation for the army,
navy and the civil functions of the
army for the years 1939, 1940, and
1941, of $5,378,921,362.34, and for
relief, including work relief, CCC
and NYA, a total appropriation of
$6,382,186,000.00 for the same per
iod.
Many people have been inter
ested in the appropriation for
grasshopper control. This item was
taken care of in the recent defic
iency bill. The budget estimate for
insect control was three million
dollars. The House cut that down
to two million, and the Senate re
stored it to three million. The con
ference split the diference and com
promised on two and a half million
dollars. Due to the fact that there
was an unexpended balance in the
old appropriation, there is now
$2,900,000 for insect control this
year.
Tree Planting
Many questions have been asked
about the Prairie States Forestry
Project and how it has operated.
For four years it has been one of
the federal projects dependent on
emergency relief funds. No spon
sors contributions are available for
it as is the case in the usual type
of WPA project. No other fed
eral funds are available as in the
case of projects which supplement
regular federal activities. The
counties, municipalities and farm
ers donate services and use of
equipment. They furnish fencing
