TWO MEATLESS WEEKS IN SAXONY
The Government of Saxony has decided upon the observance of two meatless weeks, one in September and the other in October (States a "recent cable message from Berlin). It is hoped thereby to conserve the cattle resources and improve the supply of milk and butter. It is not unlikely that the German fruit, crop will be confiscated to insure an adequate supply for the marmalade industry. While no official action in this direction has been announced, a, plan to seize U)e ripening crops throughout Germany is being agitated. German fruit growers and truck gardeners were to meet in Berlin in August to discuss practical methods of carrying out the confiscation. The present fruit crop is estimated to be below the average yield. The apple and plum harvest is said to be disappointing while the pear crop is slightly better. If confiscation is put into effect, smugglers of ■Fruit a-nd enwwlaiore will be dealt with summarily.
