GRAIN MEN WANT
FOOD CONTROL
BILL PUSHED
In Letter to Senators They Also Urge
Wider Power for the
President

! Washington, ID. c., July 17.--Secretary
Shorthill Of the national council of farm
ers' cooperative associations, represent
| ing 100000 grain farmers. has sent q
letter to every member of the Senate
urging prompt passage Of the admins
tration food bill and asserting the viii.
ingness OF the farmers TO come under the
provisions of the measure
Mr. Shorthill deprecated, however, the
proposal to withhold from government
control all necessities except food and
fuels
Grain growers will never permit any
other class to be- more patriotic than
they" he said. "They know il is as
necessary for our president to direct the
distribution Of our foods as TO manage
the disposition Of our armies; that in
war if some strong arm is not ever
present ready to act promptly and deei
siyely the heartless Spectator will ruth
lessly reap profits that are criminal.
"Tbey know that in these times food
is first always, and that IL should be the
first to be controlled But just as surely
as food il first, some other essential is
second So why should you at this time
formulate or enact legislation which is
designed to single out the control of
foods to the exclusion Of all other neces-
sarics? Why stop the advantages there
"The grain growers are ready for food
control. They wish il, but if the legis
lation that may be enacted is going to
appeal TO them as being just il must con
fer the power 10 exercise the very same
control over other necessaries when un
usual conditions demand it,

Sweet Potatoes.

Sweet potatoes should be thoroughly
matured before harvesting, dug while the
ground is dry, carefully handled and
thoroughly cured by holding them at a
temperature Of so to So degrees f., for
a week or 10 days after harvesting.
After this they should be stored in a
place where the temperature remains in
the neighborhood Of IS degrees f. Such
location is usually near the furnace in
the cellar, or near the furnace chimney
on the second floor of the house. There
is little merit in wrapping them in paper
or hurying them in sand. Sweet pota-
toes are stored in outdoor pits or banks,
but this method is not to be recommend
ed except where no other facilities are
available. Sweet potatoes stored in pits
are not a. good in quality as those
stored in houses. For further informa-
tion on storing sweet potatoes write for

Onions
Onions should be well matured before
