THE FOOD PROSPECTS
* LONDON, June 1
Mr Protheroe, speaking at a- meeting of the Gardeners' Company, said that half a million new gardens had been cultivated for vegetables. Sales of seeds had increased 350 per cent.
Britain wants roughly nine million four-pound loaves daily. If there is no waste and everyone tries to economise in bread stuffs, Germany canno^. starve us. If the submarines triumph so completely tTiat no grain and cereals reach Britain t"ne submarines may inflict a measure of discomfor^ and live stock may be put on short coriimons, but the harvest at hand in September will give enough plus the amount we expect to have in foodstuffs, to pull us through.— A. and N.Z. Cabfe.
