caused by the explosion OF a charge
OF low form of explosives exterior TO

NAYS a dollar for food. the farmer gets
less than 50 cents OF il. Who gets the
rest.'
That IS a question which Secretary
Wilson OF the department OF agricul
ture asked In his annual report.
The secretary does not attempt to
answer il. He does explain in some
detail the results OF an Investigation
his department has just concluded into
the effect OF cold storage on the whole
someness and cost OF food. His inves
tieation leads him TO recommend pub
lic.ty for the amount OF food ia cold
storage. just as the department now
gives publicity TO the condition Of
CROPS from. month TO month.
Instead of food remaining In storage
for longer than a year or two years. as
a rule. the secretary declares that his
Investigation showed that receipts in
10 cold storage are entirely or nearly
exhausted by the deliveries out OF cold
storage within ten months"
Cost a Barrier.
Long storage is the exception, the
secretary asserts. Warehouse men ex-
planned TO the department that exces-
siyely long storage was due TO the law
suits and other circumstances OF an
monumental nature. The cost OF
storage. including storage charge. inter
est. and insurance. is considered a bar
rier TO long storage.
Cold storage. the secretary reports.
has raised the cost OF living by In
creasing the annual price level for but
ter and eggs
The secretary says that an examina-
ton OF the record of prices gives a
suspicion that there has been much
speculation in some years by the men
who keep commodities in cold storage.
Storage Men Make Mistakes!
He refers TO IAN apparent mistake"
Of the storage men In overestimating
the consumption OF Eggs by the public
at exorbitant prices. last winter. with
the result that. in the spring. the stor-
age men had to sell eggs at remark
ably low prices and send abroad the
largest amount Of eggs ever exported
IN order to get rid of the supply.
The secretary declares that the
warehouse men ought to be required
10 send to Washington each month the
AMOUNT OF commodities placed IL stor
