Much more serious from the point
of view of the business world would
be the placing of an embargo on the
export Of foodstuffs-a proposal
which Senator MARITIME, of New Jer-
sey, attempts TO revive in a resolu-
ton has been introduced and re-
ferred to the Foreign Relations Com
mittee. Fortunately, it is apt to
slumber there along with its prede-
cessors. Such an embargo would re-
duce our export trade by approx
mately 20 per cent. In 1916 we ex-
ported foodstuffs in crude condition,
including crude animals, to the value
of s421, 100000 and manufactured
foods amounting in value to $685.
100000, an aggregate of $685. O0,-
goo, compared with S4,412,0OO,OOO
Cor all other commodities.
The main argument advanced IN
support of a food embargo is that
unless such action is taken we shall
not have enough for ourselves. That
is obviously untrue. There is enough
and TO spare, though the supply Of
some products is short The trouble
is with prices and it is by no means
sure shat export demand is.so much
to blame for the high cost of living
in this country as is generally be-
lieved to be the case. One of the
most bitter protests is against the
high prices Of potatoes and onions.
Net exports Of potatoes in 1916
amounted to less than l per cent Of
the total crop. In 1916 we exported
approximately 479,947 bushels and
imported 1.257.S03 bushels of onions,
a gain on balance Of 777,856 bushels.
Certainly an embargo would have
made little difference in these cases !;
and numerous other illustrations Of
the same kind might be cited.

SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
Urges Every House to Can and Dry
Surplus Fruits and Vegetables.

Every housewife this year should
restore to her home the often over
looked home industries of canning
preserving, picking, and drying OF
perishable fruits or vegetables. The
large number of new backyard gar
dens which have been planted this
year shortly will begin to yield their
extra harvest of beans, peas, carrots,
beets, sweet corn, and tomatoes. The
regular supplies also will reach the
markets and, as happens each sum
mer, the local supply at times will ex-
coed immediate consumptive capacity.
Not to conserve much of this surplu-
sage of valuable food would be sinful
waste.
The present food and labor situa-
tons are such that no household is
justified in looking to others to release
| il wholly from individual responsible
ity and constructive action in saving
and conserving food. All any home
should expect of others is to supply
those foods which can not be pro-
ducel effectively by its own members.
The railroads will be burdened with
the transportation of staple foods and
civil and military necessaries from To-
calities of production and manufacture
to districts incapable Of supply their
own needs. 1t follows that all locally
produced foods, conserved by home
methods, lessen the winter pressure
on transportation agencies and also
release similar products of factories
for other purposes.
| urge every household, to can all
surplus perishable products for which
they have containers and to dry and
keep in paper any additional surplus
suitable for such preservation.
Canning calls, for no special skill
and for little equipment beyond a
wash boiler and jars. Fresh products,
cleanliness, and heat are the chief re-
quirements, as even sugar Is not es-
sential for canning fruits under mod
ern procedure. Fruits and vegetables,
moreover, can be dried efficiently in
the sun, over range or gas stove, or
before an electric fan. Homemade
shallow trays of wood or heavy wire
screen are the chief equipment re-
quired. Drying is a time-tried home
industry; conservation of food by dry
ing is largely matter of restoring to
the home great-grandmother method
of seeing that her family had good
food In winter as relief from a mon
tonous diet of root vegetables. Can
ming and drying can be practiced as
effectively In a city house or apart
ment as on farm or in suburban
dwelling.
Canning, of course, already is profit
able industry for women and children
in thousands of homes and trust will
become almost universal this season.
To aid the home conservation move
ment, the Department of Agriculture
has issued new Farmers Bulletin on
home canning and another on home
drying Of fruits and vegetables. These
free pamphlets should be read and
followed in every household which
wishes to translate patriotic impulse
into concrete service.
