AGAINST
PRIORITY GIVEN
COAL over FOODS
Car Shortage Causing Elk.
IRENE Anxiety - Unless
Grains and Livestock
Move Loss Will Be Heavy.

1daho's food administrator has been
notified that the United States food
administration has vigorously pro-
tested to the priority board against any
priority being given to coal or any
thing else over the movement of es-
sential foodstuffs. The necessity OF
moving livestock and perishables and
corn, oats and animal feeding stuffs
generally Is pre- eminent or large
amounts of the food will be lost, it is
claimed.
The food administration has issued
the following summary OF the sltua-
ton:
THE car shortage is a matter of the
most extreme anxiety, especially now
in respect to the coarse grains. The
corn crop is softer than normal and
requires rapid movement to the dry
ing establishments at the terminals Il
it is to be saved. The prices Of corn
and of feeding stutfs are absolutely
dependent upon the more rapid move
ment of the crops. Moreover it is OF
no interest to the farmer to see large
prices of corn at the terminals, if he
cannot ship. Car shortages work to
the benefit OF few producers and to the
loss of the majority Of producers and
TO all consumers. With free move
ment of corn the prices should recede
rapidly for the crop is large and in
fact larger than can be consumed By
the number OF animals there are tc
eat it,"

FUEL CENSUS FOR
COUNTY PROPOSED

Caldwell Dec. IA countrywide fuel
census will probably be initiated by
The commissioners of Canyon county
within the next three or four days be-
cause OF so many Of its towns and
country communities now being in the
throes of coal famine which is men
aced by proba bility of assuming still
graver proportions. The proposition IS
now under the considera of the
board of county commissioners. The
survey now in progress in this city
reveals the fact that number of fam
lilies are entirely without coal, while
many families have from only 100 70
200 pounds in storage.
At Nampa it is estimated as a con-
sequence OF the survey which is in
progress that there is shortage of 200
tons over what consumers estimate
will be required to meet their demands,
The survey proposed would not in
volve the towns but would pertain IN
rural districts, the estimates OF
town surveys by municipal officers
would of course be accepted by the
commissioners and included in then
data
