BUY POTATOES
BY THE POUND
NATION WIDE CAMPAIGN BY MR..
HOOVER URGES THIS CITY
TO TRY NEW METHOD

The United States Department of
Agriculture in connection with the
perishable division of the food admin
istration, now have on a campaign
to induce trade over the entire coun-
try OF conduct all transactions in DO
tatoes on the basis of the hundred
weight, instead of as at present on
the basis of bushels, barrels and bags
of various sizes, ranging from SO
pounds to 200 ponds.
Following is the Governments plan
furnished The News by c. w. Chew
ming, of the United States Bureau of
Markets, Atlanta branch
state laws vary as to weight per
bushel on many commodities, and a
bushel in one city may not be COM
parable to one in another city A
hundred pounds is standard through
out the entire country and never
varies. BY its use, endless confus-
ion would be avoided, controversies
between members of the trade elm
mated, and an intelligent comparison
of prices in different sections could be
made At this time, when the public
is so interested in the food question
such basis of prices Is greatly to be
desired
Cannot Brunswick be counted upon
to assist in this necessary nationwide
question, and so continue to do her
chora toward c01yinp tha food pnpcor-
vation?
