Assert Farmers Did Not
Underestimate Crops to
Force Up Prices of Food

denied the assertion of Joseph Harti-
gan, New York commissioner of weights
and measures, that western farmers
knowingly underestimated their crops

and thus forced up the price of wheat.
potatoes, onions and cabbage.
1t was insisted at the department that
there is a practical agreement from all
sources of crop information that there
is a material shortage of wheat and
other crops. Furthermore, department
officials assert the crop estimates are
not based alone on reports from farm
ers, but from the governments own
field agents in each state, aided by in
spectors, who carefully check the origi-
nal estimates from township and coun-
ty reporters

Sources Agree on Shortage.

"As proof against any such assertion
as that made by Hartigan, there is this
year practical agreement in various
sources of information Of Il material
shortage of wheat The prospect for
potatoes right through the season has

increasing The same Is true of cab

ion. there is nothing particularly to be
said but il Is the observation of our
experts that our reports represent APP

Widows and Orphans to Benefit.

This year the fund will largely be
confined to aiding widows and orphans
of dead life savers. In some instances
the needy families of retired life saw
ers will have a claim.
Mr.. kimball receives annual reports
from superintendents of the life-savng
service, now the coast guard, to the
necessities of those connected with the
service in each superintendent juris-
diction On these reports the division
of the fund is based. The money itself
is sent to those who are selected as
beneficiaries. Many of the benetciaries
have been regular pensioners on the
fund.
There were 1l6 individuals last year
who participated in the benefits. Dur
ing the previous year five had died,
four who had former bensfts no longer
needed them, and ten were added to
the list of beneficiaries. Fourteen of
the benefciaries received a greater
share than formerly, and the same
number received a smaller portion.
There were twenty who each received
IS; thirty-four to whom were sent IS
each SO each was sent to forty per-
sons; nineteen received S12 each; two
received S14 each. and there was one
to whom SIS was sent. The total
amount distributed last year was

Christmas. All the gifts were mailed

Is Topic of Discussion.

The question is being eagerly dis
cussed among the members Of the va
rious citizens associations Of the Dis
trict, with a view to taking definite ac-
ton in the near future.
1t was learned today at one OF the
principal clearing houses for pack
ages delivered in the District that
local merchants, impressed with the
seriousness of the situation. have al
ready in a measure reduced the amount
of paper used in the wrapping OF
bundles. The futility of wasting from
three to six feet of high-priced paper
upon wrapping goods already in boxes
was reiterated.

to practice economy in the consumption
of the product. That Washingtonians pay
the huge paper bills of local merchants
is obvious And that they should re-
quire that these bills be cut to the

Met Twenty Years Ago.

Mr. kimball relates his first meeting
with these humanitarian women. 1t
was twenty years ago that they walked
into his Office, in the Treasury Depart
ment building. and, showing a knowl-
edge OF certain cases of hardship
among life savers. asked if they might
be permitted to make a contribution as
regular charity. knowing the diff
cult conditions of life Of many of those
in the service ana of the families left
behind by life savers who We're dead,
Mr. kimball was grateful for the offer.
He had previously received a contri-
button of $1,000 from New York
woman. since dead. But from that
time, just before Christmas the sisters
nave been regularly contributing their
$1,000. In several small donations from
various sources. Mr.. kimball receives
about $50 additional every year, to be
devoted to the same purposes.
The recent enactment, which merges
the life-saving service with the reve-
nue. cutter service into the coast guard,
provided for retirement of superan-
nuated men in both services. This will
greatly relieve the fund from the ne
cessity of providing for life-savers
whose financial condition in the past
made them proper benefciaries.
