But Southern cows are already grazing on green grass, and the spring fallout that has collected on it is passing into their milk. As spring moves north and the grass greens up in Vermont and Wisconsin, the radioactivity of Northern milk will increase...
Meat supplies are also spotty, and mothers have been advised to stretch the short supplies of milk by diluting infants' bottle formulas with water. Potatoes, once a plentiful staple of the German diet, are hard to find. South of Berlin, each farm family has been told to contribute 5 Ibs. of seed potatoes to plant for next year's crop...
