The American people have used about

Wherever possible, each family should

s. With respect to marketing pota-
toes for shipment out of the state, pro
ducers are advised that the county agents
receive daily quotations concerning prices
of potatoes and that the commissioner of
agriculture will furnish daily quotations
through the press of the state. The
commissioner has also investigated trans

POTATOES GIVE CONCERN
Producer Is Urged to Use Every Precau-
ton in Matter of Storage.

The committee on food production anC
conservation of the Vermont committed
of public safety has carefully taken un
der consideration the problem of conserv
ing the crops of the state. Several meet
ings have been held in consultation with
those most intimately informed as tc
Vermont conditions. The last meeting
which was held in Montpelier Aug II at
the call of his excellency the governor
and James Hartness, chairman OF the
public safety committee and federal food
commissioner for Vermont, to which was
also invited Commissioner Brigham, Di-
rector Bradlee and the county agents, re-
suited in the following conclusions, which
the committee submits to the citizens of
the state.
l.. Most Vermont crops can be effec-
lively stored and marketed through the
usual channels.
2. BY the very general and highly
commendable activity on the part of the
women of the state in canning and pre-
serving, garden products are being well
cared for.
g. The perishable crops, particularly
potatoes, are giving the greatest concern
According to government estimates, YER
mont will produce 100000 bushels of
potatoes this year, an amount consider
ably in excess of returns received by the
committee Several sections of the state
report blight, one county reporting few
er potatoes than in 1915 as a result.
With the needs of the people and the
benefit of the producer in mind, this fact
urges greater caution against wastage,
especially where there may seem to be a
surplus. The reports from Aroostook
county, Maine, indicate a smaller crop
than anticipated.
4. To guard against this loss the pro-
Queer is urged to use every precaution in
the matter of storage. Available stor-
age should be utilized to the fullest ex-
tent. Where this is not sufficient the
old time potato pit should be construct
ed.
s. The farmers are advised not to ere
ate glutted or panicky market by a
hasty disposal of their potatoes. One
dollar per bushel is fair price for both
producer and the consumer and it is the
opinion of the committee that this price
can be maintained by such precaution as
is here advised
8. Consumers are urged to lay in
sufficient supply of potatoes for the en-
tire season. Every cellar should have
bins prepared with care to avoid decay
and attack of vermin Potatoes will |
