most of the
export production of cassava came
from the East Indies but the war
has naturally cut off the supply
that part of the world.
spite of the fact that cassava
its derivatives have a tren
mendous importance in the daily diet
of millions of Latin Americans and
that it is indigenous to the Western
Hemisphere, this plant has with few
exceptions, only been exploited there
for local consumption.
Brazil, Cuba and the Dominican
Republic, however, are exporters of
the product on a small scale, and a
law has been promulgate in several
countries, providing that bread and
similar food stuffs made in the coun
try should contain a certain per
centage of cassava flour.
Lately an interest in the produc
tion of cassava has been shown by
a number of Latins American coun
tries of the tropical and sub-tropical
zone, and everything leads to believe
that this will be in the future one
of the important export products of
the Americas.

SHORTS AND MIDLLINGS
Household accounts on 23 Ohio
farms in 1943 show an average living
expense of $1,565 per family, of
which food costs $260, clothing, $148,
and health, $90. The average labor
income for these families was $3,040.
Lack of rain and excessive high
temperatures reduced prospects for
Ohio potatoes by nearly 2,000,00 bush
els in July. The national potato crop
prospects were cut 14,000,000 bushels
in the same month, but the U. S. crop
still is expected to be better than the
annual average during 1933-42.
Removal of timber ready for havest
helps the war effort by making avail
abel one of the most critical war ma
terials and helps the woodlot owner
though sales on a good market and
through the thinning of the timber
so young and vigorous trees cast make
more rapid growth.
