FOOD COMMISSION
INFORMATION

The food commission ought to
.egulate prices of fish, rice, taro,
potatoes, and meats and keep them
within reason.
Talk of this kind is heard daily
on the streets. Fixing maximum
and minimum prices on foodstuffs
seems, ON its face. a quite simple
operation; the food commission has
the authority and can call on the
Governments legal machinery to
enforce its regulations.
1t seems a simple thing to say to
farmer: Now we will pay you u
dollar q bushel for your wheat and
no morel" But that doesn't by
any means settle the matter. The
farmer Immediately reviews h
situation and comes to the conclu-
sion that dollar a bushel will not
pay him, or will not pay him as
well as the price he can get for
some other product, and so he quits
the business To that extent there
is a shortage of wheat, which if
many farmers take the same point
of view, becomes serious, and people
90 without wheat, or pay more for
it in some clandestine way.
If wheat happens to be luxury
which we don't really need. we can
go without it and the plan of an
imposed fixed price may work, in a
way. But if wheat happens to be a
necessity which our own people
must have, and for which the un-
fortunate peoples of Europe are suf-
fering or even starving, and which
they cant get because of this artific-
ial restraint, then this attempt at
price control has been q disastrous
failure.
Perhaps it would be possible to
control prices by a sort of military
dictatorship, which would not only
control prices but control articles
also, and would say to the farmer:
You must not only accept a dollar
bushel for your wheat, but YOU
must keep on raising wheat whether
you want to or not!"
That would result practically in

FOR kauai

July 81 will be Registration Day
for the Territory. The machinery
of Registration will be very much
the same as. that of the elections.
From Z in the morning till 8 in the
evening the regular voting booths
in the various precincts will be open
for the registration of all male res
idents of the Territory between the
ages Of 21 and 81 years. Contrary
to the common understanding the
registration is not confined to citi-
zen, but applies to all kinds and
conditions; and those who fail to
comply with the requirements OF
the law will be subject to arrest
and punishment.
1t is estimated that this will in
clude some 1000 registrations. AS
there are some twelve different
questions to be answered, with
specific instructions as to what is
required, and how they are to be
answered, and this must be put
into the language of the applicant
and explained to- his satisfaction,
the registrars have a busy and try
ing day before them, the more so
as their labors are to be absolutely
gratuitous.
A personal card will be filled out
for each applicant which will be
forwarded to Washington, and from
these cards the actual draft will be
made.
After this draft is made the sue
ccssful candidates will be more par
ticularly examined and their fitness
determined. All this however Will
naturally take considerable time

Tie Sweet Potato Versus
the Irish Potato

A valuable article in the Planters
Record gives some interesting in
formation in regard to the sweet
potato.
1t is much more prolific than its
Irish rival, yielding as high as %
tons to the acre, where the other
yields only 3 tons.
Its food value is also higher,
pounds of sweet potatoes being
equivalent to pounds of Irish.
Furthermore the former are very
much less subject to disease and
much more easily grown than the
hitter.
