closed by the European war and
the spread of the barter system
threaten to saddle American far-
mers with one of their worst sur-
plus problems in recent years,
despite production restrictions
imposed under federal crop con-
trol programs. , ^
Administration farm officials,
deeply concerned over the out-
look, are searching at home and
abroad for possible new outlets
for crops which normally would
be sold to European belligerents
and to neutrals cut off from Am-
erican supplies because of block-
ade and other trade barriers.
The Agriculture Department
predicts American farm exports
will be reduced almost a third
this year.
Normal yields of major crops
this season would materially in-
crease surpluses of cotton, corn,
wheat, tobacco, lard and many
other products.
The prospects of such produc-
tion and the shrinkage in foreign ,r _ _ ^
markets already is depressing , 1‘ auc^ A.rs* ^eese anc*

Should crop vc$ntrol and sub-

reasonably satisfactory levels,

leaders said to some form of price
control. These leaders emphasiz-

would be proposed only as a last :

Vegetable Laxative
With Proved Feature
The punctual, satisfying relief
from constipation and its headaches,
biliousness, bad breath, so often ex-
perienced by users of this laxative,
is mainly due to its combination of
purely vegetable ingredients.
BLACK - DRAUGHT’S principal
ingredient has high medical recog-
nition as an “intestinal tonic-
laxative”; helps impart tone to
lazy bowel muscles.
A little of this spicy, aromatic
product by simple directions at
bedtime, generally allows time for
a good night’s rest; acts gently
and thoroughly next morning.
Next time, take time-tested, eco-
nomical BLACK - DRAUGHT. '

Countries and France.
The barter- system, once con-
fined to German trading opera-
tions, has been spreading t0 all
Europe, even to the. Allies, Agri-
culture Department officials said.
Small European countries recent-
ly brought under German con-
trol are not only shut off from
American markets by the Allied
blockade but by the German bar-
ter method as well.
The British and French were
said to have adopted a modified
form of barter with South Amer-
ican countries.
As a consequence, the govern-
ment is preparing to invoke all
phases of its crop control legis-
lation in an effort to avert fur-
ther shrinkage in farm values and
income. Surpluses which. other-
wise might move into foreign
markets will be. withdrawn from
market, channels, and stored un-
$er government, lo.aus to produc-
