FARMERS ACCUSED
 OF BOOSTING PRICES
Knowingly Concealed Crop Suc- cess, Claims New York Expert

New York. Nov. 18.-An assertion mat western farmers under estimated crop reports submitted to the federal government and thereby forced up 'ne price Of wheat potatoes, onions end cabbage. is the latest contribu- non to the high cost of food investi- satlon here. The charge is made by joseph Hartigan, commissioner of weights and measures, who has just returned from a tour of twenty-nine states undertaken to determine the reason for the high cost of living and incidentally to complete arrange pents for a farmers congress to be held here in February.
 MT. Hartigan's investigation con- Sinced him, he said, that the govern ment estimate of the wheat crop in this country this year was based on statlstics furnished by the farmers, who knowingly concealed at least 2b per cent. of their wheat crops"
 Farmers declared MT. Hartigan, Fare doing the same thing in many parts of the country in regard to po- tatoes. cabbage and onions. I have hot the slightest doubt that if these reserve supplies were released the post Of these farm products would be eeduced to the retail purchaser at least 25 per cent. from the prices now prevailing.'
 Commissioner Hartigan said that Ehe cost of food in New York city is 20 per cent. more than it ought to be, Hespite the fact that it is 20 per cent. lower than it is in most other parts bf the country.
 To prevent a recurrenca of such conditions the state legislature will be called upon at it's next session to pass an act enabling the city or state to own or control it's own cold storage Facilities.

SUGAR CARDS IN FRANCE.
Commodity Not Scarce But Trans
 pOrtatiOn Is Difficult.

Paris Nov. IS, a. m.-The issue of sugar cards for the suburbs of Paris is under consideration by the authori- ties. At Neuilly the municipality has even taken the precaution to have a quantity of cards printed in readiness. The scarcity of sugar is due not so much to the lack of stocks as to the difficulty of distribution. The delivery wagons and horse of most whole salers and retailers have been re- quisitioned for the army and there also is a certain amount of boarding by private persons. The Grocers' association has, however, obtained the loan of five large automobile lorries daily from the army which are doing much to improve the situation.
