MORE SERVICE
FROM TIN CANS

One of the most serious preventable
losses in the dairy business is the
rapid depreciation Of milk and cream
cans. This is due partly to rough and
careless handling in transit but IN
large measure also to rust resulting
from insufficient drying.
The United States Food Administra,
ton considers this situation serious
one for several reasons. Plenty OF
milk and cream cans are absolutely
necessary for the proper distribution
of the Nations dairy food supply: yet
lit is important not to overload the
Woodworking industries with orders
for new cans.
Several large creameries have install
led machines, for Strengthening batter
ed cans; also refining equipment by
means of which fresh timed surface
may be given to cans that have begun
to rust.
BY timely repairs Of this kind the
service is greatly heightened at cost
much less than that of new cans. But
| for farm dairies the following sugges
tions coming from Federal dairy ex
pert will help to make cans and uten
sis longer lived even in the absence
lof the special equipment referred to
After the cans have been thoroughly
washed with luke warm water and
washing powder, rinse and scald
Allow the cans to drain until dry and

Cans handled in this manner will keer

/ In addition to the longer service
which they will give there is the added
benefit of purer flavors in the milk

Local merchants and iobbers are
not anticipating any further decrease
in flour. Flour is now lower than 1t
has been for months, and, unless the
price should be forced down by the
food commission, is as low as it will
90 until the war is over, so flour eX-
perts say. 1t 'yould be higher now
than it has ever been, thinks Robert

agency for White River flour, If it
were not for the control exercised by
the food commission.
A lucid explanation was given by a
salesman in one of the retail groceries
as to why the price Of graham flour
should be so high as to prohibit its
general use among househoiders. He
said il was high because it came in
small quantities, and that it came in
small quantities because so little OF It
was sold that it ,deteriorated before it
was used, and that there was MOI
much demand for it because it cost
more than white flour.
There has been no appreciable in
crease in the use of graham flour
among housewives in Honolulu VINO
do their own baking, if the amount or
dered is any suage of the amount
used. About a month ago there was
squirt of enthusiasm for graham flour
hut within the week the demand haG
dwindled down to what it was before,
which is comparatively no demand at
all. Only.pne store, that of J. NJ. Levy
& Cow b. reports anything like a
growihS demand for graham flour
Wholesalers report the demand just
about where 1t has stood for Ions
time. In fact. Theo H. Davies & Com

pAiRYINe WITHOUT A slLo

. There is a lot of sound philosophy,
squarely put for farm consumption, in
these words of J. P. Mason, a widely
known Illinois dairyman, reported by
Prairie Farmer: within few miles
of me are men trying to dairy without
silo. They are pretty. nearly plumb
crazy, of course: it must cost them 81
to S. (per: hundred pounds) to make
milk, work and all. tell you those
fellows don't deserve an increased
price. Then there are lot of men
who grow neither clover nor alfalfa.
We cannot milk and make money with
out one or the other Of these, and We
mustn't let troubles in growing stand
in our way. We've just got to grow
them in spite of winter killing once
in a while"

LESS STRINGENT
F|SHLAWSARE
MADEBY STATE

AZ the recommendation of the U. s.
find administration, the state OF
Massachusetts has removed almost all
INSTRUCTIONS on its salt water fisheries
for the duration of the war. This ac-
ton g confidently expected to be the
herinninr of a general loosening OF
fishing restrictions all over the coun'
try. including inland waters.
Lakes and streams In the principal
aariculturai districts" said Kenneth
Fowler chief OF the fisheries section
If the u. S. food administration,
could Weld at least 50,00O,000 pounds
~ rough or .non-game FISH annually.
These might Just rs wen be taken out
and distributed among the rural pop
NATION for the mere cost OF netting
And the future supply still conserved.
Under the present stringent hsh and
rauae laws, the supply of rough fish
has become oyerplentiful; and al q
time when the meat supply OF the
country is unequal to the demand. Tns
most common of these fsh are suck.
ers. bowfin, German carp, buffalo, cal.
i, ico bass. catfish, bullhead, crappie, eel,
white perch. yellow perch. pike, perch,
nd eve. redfns, red horse, Saeramen.
~ perch, strawberry bass, sunfshes
and rock bass.
Angling with all its fascination as q
snort is uneconomical. The logical
means Of catching FISH for food Is to
seine the streams and small lakes
under proper regulations. give the
rame Ash their liberty and utilize the
classes that are oTerplentiful.
s.The administration has no direct
mower of authorizing such a course, |"
stated Mr.. Fowler. "as practically all
the fishing grounds OF the country are
under the control Of the states. But
We have pointed out the benefits OF
less stringent FISH laws as war meas.
ure and the various state food admin
istrators can secure definite action
through the governors and the state
fish and game commissions. The or
yapization varies In different states,
n the people are interested enough,
there IL no serious obstacle to pre-.
vent their having the fish,"
While details of the operations are
subject to local management, the plan
Is briefly this. To prevent misuse oil
the iishing grounds. the wardens will
either catch the FISH themselves OF
deputize responsible citizens to do so
A few hours work week will IN
most cases result in enough fish fol-
hundred families.
In the case of lakes and large rivers
small portions viii be fshed at time
either by nets. set lines CT whatever
gear Is most suitable. The state fish
and game commissions have full infor
nation regarding the regulations ne
cessary to protect the spawning
grounds and insure a plentiful supply
IN the future.
The plan has the noteworthy ad
vantage of developing supply of fsi
for small villages and rural districts
not regularly reached bv the CONNER
ciaI FISH industry. The distribution
in the opinion OF the administration
should be localized 30 that the dali,
supply in each community will be con
sumed at once in the same commun
ity. This win invre the freshness o
..the FISH and avoid most of the pack
~ and transportation difficulties.

zz gzE.4I SATURDAY FOOD SPECIALS -
FIGURES SHOW LESS HOOVERIzING
Than SHOULD BE THE CASE HERE
No ApprecabIe Increase in Graham Fou-As Much Butter
Fat Sold as Year Ago. Reports Of Local Dealers Reflect
Situation Accuatey-No Further Decrease in Flour Prices
Expected *.-

Except for imported goods there has
not been any great falling off in the
expensive stuffs ordered. High priced
canned goods, and it is pretty hard to
get any kind of canned goods that are
not high priced now, continue to be IL
demand. One order clerk who takes
possibly more telephone orders a day
than anybody else in town takes in
three, said that she could not notice
any difference at all in the orders that
were given her. She said she usuallT
knew as soon as she found out who
was speaking just about what the or
der would be. Foreign goods OF course
are not being brought into the islands
any more. but the demand for domeS-
tic goods, anything put up in the Unit
ed States, remains steady, and show
ing the normal increase that would
come from increased population in
peace times.
| None OF the buyers anticipates the
slightest trouble from shortage in
shipping or from any embargo on
freight from the East and middle West
to the Pacific coast
I'VE have been assured by the San
ia Fe that we shall get all the goods
we order, so far as their line is con-
cerned," said one of the big jobbers,
and feel sure, as does everyone
else who has studied the question. that
none of our boats will be taken of
until they can be replaced by other
bottoms"
Eggs are scarce, and very high, the
cold storage output selling at 60 and
65 cents a dozen. Island eggs can
hardly be had at any price and retail
/ at 80 cents dozen.
In spite of the food commission and
the insistence that less butter fat be
use, just as much is being sold in
Honolulu as was year ago, with pos
! sibly slight increase.
