THE FIRST FOOD
SURVEY RETURNS
ARE NOW ON FILE
The Commercial Farms
are Free ely a n d
Promptly Reporting
Legal Penalties Prom
ised in Abundance for
DelinQuents.

Washington. Sept. 14.-Even before
the final date set for returns on food
stuffs held by commercial firms, for the
Federal food survey. reports from more
than 10000 dealers were in the hands
OF the Bureau of Markets, United
States Department of Agriculture.
which has been charged with carrying
out the provisions of the law requir-
ing the survey. Officials conducting
this war emergency measure say that
they are greatly encouraged over this
showing.
Returns Required by Law
Even with the excellence Of the early
returns, the Department calls atten-
ton to the fact that all firms called
on are required to fill out and return
the schedules, and to do so promptly.
The law providing for the food survey
is mandatory and in order to carry
out its intent and purpose, the Bur-
eau of Markets is insisting upon a
100 per cent response. While officials
say that they would regret invoking the
penalties provided for in the law. they
point out that delays can not be per-
mitted to defeat the purposes for which
the legislation was enacted and that
they will not hesitate to employ all the
powers which the law confers to com
bat negligence.
In no case will wilful refusal to make
returns be tolerated. The Department
does not expect to have to resort to
compulsion, but it is prepared to do
so if It should become necessary.
Firms Which Must Report
Firms handling any one of IS speci-
fed items are required 10 report un-
der such classifications as grains, grain
food products, meats and meat prod
ucts, hsh. dairy and related products
vegetable fats, sugar, and canned
goods. They must give quantity on
hand and in transit from the report
ing firm.
About 100 types Of business are en-
umerated, embracing, it is thought
ali dealers handling the food items
asked for. For grains and grain
products, for example, the schedules
are fllled out by elevators. mills
dealers, seedsmen. distillers brewers
manufacturer, and the like. Gamers
sugar makers, bakers, cenfectioners
packers, shippers, grocers, brokers
Jonbers. creameries. cold storage plants
warehouses, and many other types Of
business are also listed among those
who must report.
Willingness Shown.
SO far. most of the responding firms
rot only show willingness to make the
returns but are asking how they may
help otherwise in the food situation
responses by letter, telegram, and
telephone have indicated widespread
interest in the survey, and show tina
the frms reporting were anxious to
cooperate fully with the Department ir
making the inventory a success.

POTATO Notes

Pressure Isle.-Almost all farmers IN this
vicinity have begun potato digging. In q
few cases large crops are reported but
for the most part the yield Is below
the average and OF a slightly inferior
quality. They are being sold In the local
market at 81 per barrel and in some In
stances for $2.25. The town is filled with
men from the cities who come to Aroos-
took expecting to receive s. and IS a day.
When they learned that farmers are gem
orally agreed to pay s. and board they
refuse to work. preferring apparently to
stand on street corners and starve rath-
er than work for a fair wage Potato
factories will open or have already done
so, and will pay $1.25 or more for under
sized stock.
Houlton Times. Sept 1.-THE frost last
week created havoc with the potatoes
which had withstood the blight, and now
there are very few fields in the county
but what are dead. The digging Is now
only question Of waiting until the farm, :
ers have harvested their grain, and then
digging in general will commence. That
the crop will be short is foreeone
conclusion. A man who IL the hes.
posted on the crop in past years makes
the statement that where the 3. A.
hauled 100000 bushels last year, they
would not haul over 100000 this season.
which gives a pretty good idea Of how
short the crop will be. Local buyer. an.
