Wen come to snake sure that
the amount of milk the farmer denv-
ere is precisely the amount he draws

''bring all his milk . to a control sta-
tion. He cannot retain . even a pint
to .churn butter for the family, The
akin milk ' be needs for his pigs he
must buy back. ..The price he gets is
fixed for everytblvieg he grows.
.Let's consider how Hans Vogel, typ'
icai German farmer, fits into the in-
tricate economic plan of the Nazi
state- Before the: dictatorship, Hans
killed each fall four or five fat pins
') and made them into a winter's supply
of sausage and headcheese. Now he
brings all his pigs to the Nazi con-
trol station and receives for them the
government price. He ,has a fat steer
to, sell in the market. Exciting plac-
es, these German markets used to be.
The trader beat his palm as he nam-
ed a figure. The farmer beat his
palm. as he named another. And the
chaffering -proceeded until at last a
bargain was made. Now, in the mar-
ket metamorphosed by the, Nazis, an
officer comes along, glances at the
beast, names a figure -and Hans
must take it.
German agriculture is literally one
vast corporation -the National Food
Corporation- At its head is the Min-
ister of Agriculture, R. Walther
Darre, a man with absolute powers
over all that concerns farming. He
controls almost every phase of the
farmer's life. Hans can own his farm
but he cannot own what the produces.

Deere% supervisors stalk the,farm-
er's fields, squinting, est rasegng.
When the potatoes start to grow, the
supervisors point to empty spotp and
order a new planting there. They le-
sist ori so many cateh crops -between
crop plantings, --that there is no long-
er any leisure. Ascension Day, once
a merry holiday, is spent in toil.
By decree from Berlin, Farmer
Hans is ordered to sow fifteen acres
this year in flax. Be hates the stuff
-any other crop would pay hitt} more.
But German farmer, learn not to
argue with a decree. There's a con-
eentration camp ready for them if
they do. And if a supervisor is dis-
pleased -if he thinks a farmer is
careless, inefficient or unworthy -he
can take over the farm and operate
it himself, giving orders to Hans and
this wife.
By edict last July the entire wheat
and rye crops were requisitioned to
safeguard the nation's bread supply.
Farmers may keep only what they
need far their families. For feeding
bread crops to livestock they may be
fined heavily.
According to G. L. Steere, Ameri-
can agricultural attache at Berlin,
these strenuous efforts have succeed-
ed in making the country 81 per cent
self-sufficient. But many farmers are
evading the rigid quota system. Gangs
or syndicates, operating strings c,f
high-powered cars, sell coveted food-
stuffs widely, and individual bootleg-
gers travel about on trains with food
concealed in false -bottomed trunks
and suitcases. The penalties are sev-
ere -fines' prison and in the case of
large-scale operators, death. Yet the
Minister df Agriculture estimates that
'one-third of all food produced is sold
surreptitiously.
"Can you tell me where all the pins
go to?"
"Well, it's Shard, to say. You see
they're pointed in one direction and
headed in another."

BUYING
GUIDE
• Before you order dinner at a restaurant, you
consult the bill -of -fare. Before you take a long
trip by motor car, you pore over road maps. Be-
fore you start out on a shopping trip, you should
consult the advertisements in this paper. For the
same reason!
The advertising columns are a buying guide
for you in the purchase of everything you need,
including amusements! A guide that saves your
time and conserves your energy; that saves use-
less steps and guards against false ones; that puts
the s -t -r -e -t -c -h in the family budgets.
The advertisements in this paper are so in-
teresting it is difficult to see how anyone could
overlook them, or fail to profit by them. Many
a time, you could save the whole year's subscrip-
tion price in a week by watching for bargains.
Just check with yourself and be sure that you are
reading the advertisements regularly — the big
ones aid the little ones. It is time well spent
. . . always.
