tility and better cultural methods.
Enough has been done in this direction
by the state experiment stations and the
department, and also by good farmers, to
justify the expectation that considerably
increased acre yields gradually will be
brought about in large part OF the area
adapted to the staple food crops.
"Very destructive climatic conditions
never occur in this country with equal
severity throughout all the staple crop
regions. II is highly desirable, therefore,
further to broaden the areas for these
staples as far as experience and sound
economies may warrant"
The report reviews at length the adj
ministration of the foods and drugs act.
It's recommendation for legislation to
reinforce the present law are given: Sex
perience in connection with the admins
traton of the food and drugs act has
strikingly emphasized the Importance OF
enforceable standards for foods and
drugs without them il Is impossible to
carry out completely the purposes of the
act. In many instances protection OF the
consumer--the principal object of the
law-can not fully be accomplished, nor
can unfair practices on the part of I'M
scrupulous manufacturers adequately be
prevented. In some cases maintenance
of prosecution is difficult and expensive,
even when the articles involved clearly
are adulterated OF misbranded. To meet
this situation, | have recommended in
the estimates for the fiscal year 1918
that the secretary of agriculture be au-
thorized to establish standards OF
strength quality, or purity for articles
OF food and for those articles of drugs
which are sold under or by name not
recognized in the United States Pharma-
copnia or National Formulary. The sug-
gestion provides that if any article fails
to conform to the established standards
it shall be deemed to be misbranded un-
less it is labeled so as plainly and con
spicuously to show how it differs from
the standard.
81 have also recommended in the esti-
mates that the department be given au-
thority to inspect establishments produc-
ing foods or drugs intended for shipment
in interstate or foreign commerce. No
specific authority exists at the present
time. If the suggested authority be
granted, the department should be able
to improve the quality OF food products,
both by bringing TO the attention Of
manufacturers any insanitary conditions
that may be discovered and by securing
evidence of production under insanitary
conditions"

After a great deal Of debating, it was
finally decided that Leslie Mann will
coach the Amherst college team in bas-
ketball again this winter. Mann signs
up with the college Wednesday. Mann
notified the authorities that he would
be in Amherst to-day to take charge of
the squal.
Despite the fact that Princeton and
Syracuse did not have a banner year
on the gridron. Coaches Rush and Hol-
lenback will continue to hold their re-
spective jobs another year Rush did
some remarkable work with the material
which he had to deal with.
Thorpe says that college football
player should continue in the game for
five years after he has completed his
course in college- Although Thorpe has
been away from Carlisle for several
years, he is playing one OF the strongest
games of his career this fall tor the
Canton professional team. Thorpe has
been showing more speed this year than
he did in college even. There has meen
hardly game in which Thorpe has not
made a sensational end run and his line
bucking has been of the highest order in
every game.
Seventeen husky athletes arrived in
Boston yesterday, coming from DE Paul
school, Chicago. The eleven viii stop at

tersectional contest of the year. Somer-
Vile high is receiving the benefit of the
Harvard coaches, Billy Murray having
charge of the backfeld men. According
to all reports from the west, De Paul has
one of the fastest teams ever represent

relies on the speed of the team to smash

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
The Boycott Against Farmers.

Mr.. Editor,
Dear Sir:-The recent press has fea-
tured in many places the so-called boy
colt on eggs and milk, two of the staples
of farm production 1t seems that the
move has been started by housewives
leagues in several cities. Giving them
due credit for the reasons of the move,
that was primarily against storage eggs,
which, it was claimed. were withheld by
the dealers to raise the price, neverthe-
less the act has an unsavory taste when
applied to the farmer. That he should
be deprived of a maximum price for his
product is unr 4asonable from several
standpoints. With very few exception
al cases, the farmer is the man who has
been obliged to stand the brunt OF the
effects of financial panics, strikes, etc.
Spectators have won and lost at his ex-
pense He has been paid just enough Tor
his product to keep him going. He has
not been allowed to receive enough to
place his business on a profitable basis.
he takes to-day less average wages than
the day laborer. When he asks more for
his milk his customers take less milk
to keep their expenses down. The aver
age family IN this city pays ABOUT ~
cents day or $3.50 year for milk
while the same families pay over 500
for meat and nearly $50 for moving PIC
lures
A quart of milk costing eight cents
has as much food value as one pound OF
steak at 80 cents. 1t has the same rela-
ton to many other foods. OF course, we
can live on rice and become short and
stunted like the japanese, but it seems
that the wiser course would be to spend
more money for milk, less for meat and
other high priced staples and have the
balance to put in the bank.
1t seems wrong that the housekeepers
should boycott their best friend, the
farmer. If his prices are refused he will
be driven out of business and Sac price
will keep going up because of scarcity OF
product. The consumer must realize that
farmers costs are going up as well as
others. A little more light on the part
of the housekeeper on the value OF milk
as food will convince her of the econ
emies Of buying it in preference to
other foods and this will encourage the
farmer to furnish a better product.
