The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-08-24

N. W. Baanpied, market supervisor
for Bridgeport, assigned here by the
division of markets for the u S. De-
paTtment of Agriculture, took charge
of the produce market maintained at
Wall and Water streets today
Blanpied, and others interested in
the progress of the market venture,
are confident that as a result of the
radical changes in the management of
will be materially reduced to the con-
sumner.
The U. S. government has not un-
dertaken to conduct a retail market
here, but it is expected that with in
telligent and impartial supervision, the
market will be made to. serve the in
terests Of the consumer better than
heretofore
The method to be pursued is to keep
definite track OF the amount Of food
stuffs on hand and, in immediate pros
pect. AS each produce raiser brings
his stun to market, he reports to Mr..
Blanpied the amount of produce he
has brought, also the approximate
amount of each sort Of foodstuffs he
expects to bring the following day.
These figures are Immediately added,
and the total amount of available
a large board, that buyers may know
instantly the condition OF the market.
The law OF supply ana demand afi-
tomatically will regulate the prices,
and it is expected that the vast ma
Jority OF consumers who buy through
dealers who in turn buy at the lot will
be protected through the publicity OF
current prices given at the market
place.
Mr.. Blanpied win not only serve as
outlined in the checking up of supply
and demand, bur when he finds there
fs any particularly large quantity OF
one or two sorts OF produce, he will
prepare recommendation for the
proper method of preserving them. by
canning or other means.
T. Banpied's report Of today's
market activities follows:
BRIDGEPORT PRODUCERS
MARKET
| Report Of Government Reporter.
The market opened rather late this
morning on account of rain.
| Business was about as slow as usual
| every one apparently waiting for
some drop, in prices.
/ There were great many tomatoes
on the market this morning, more
| than yesterday, and as a result the
price for the bulk of the supply was
lower.
4 Corn was not quite as plentiful as
on yesterdays market, but larger
supply is expected tomorrow.
There is quite a demand for lima
beans but there were only 80 bushels
there this, morning.
The best bargain on the marke1

SATISFYING THE PUBLIC

The Yawter trial in Virginia is
one of the dirtiest yet reported.
We wonder that the press associa-
lions of this country impose so
much Of this vile filth on the pub
lice, and that so many good news
papers publish it and send it into
the homes of purity and virtue.
We imagine that if the full effect
of the reporting of one such trial
as this, and the publication Of it
broadcast in the newspapers of the
country could be known. that edi-
tors and news dispensers would be
appalled,, and they would probably
eliminate it in the future.-Moul-
trie Observer.
1t may be said in partial expla-
nation, not justification though.
that the newspaper of the country
attempt to give the people what
they want in part. The vawter
trial has been partially pushed
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-05-10

aside because of the war news, else
there would have been great
spreads of feature articles. The
same thing is true in the moving
picture world.
The Vawter case has provoked
several inquiries to the Times-Re-
corder asking why more of it was
not printed by us.-Americus
Times Recorder.
The Enquirer-Sun has assumed tina
its readers do not desire UGH news
and it has published nothing in con
nection with this trial that would be a
all offensive to any. one. The Enquirer
Sun may get "scouped" once in a while
ON such news" but it prefers to b.
'scouped" rather than lay before it
readers such nauseating etails as have
been contained in the dispatches con
,erning the Vawter trial.
The Enquirer-Sun feels that it owes
L duty to it's readers to protect then
from such news, and it will in future
rs in the past, censor such portions o.
news items as it believes should not
'or decency's sake, be published

BIC WASTE IN
ANIMAL FOOD

WASHINGTON D. c., May 10.-An
ounce of edible meat--lean meat, fat
and lean, suet or fat trimmed from
steak, chop, or roast-seems hardly
worth saving.
Many households take just this view
of the matter-do not trouble to put
such an insignifcantis scrap into the ice
box of soup pot-do not bother to
save for cookery spoonful or two of
drippings or tiny bit of suet or fat.
Yet is every one of our 2O,000,0OO
American families on the average
wastes each day only one ounce OF
edible meat or fat, it means a daily
waste of 100000 pounds of animal
food-456, 900, 900 pounds of valuable
animal food year.
At an average dressed weight, 1t
would take the gross weight of over
S75 900 steers, or over 100000 hogs
bones and ALTO provide this weight
Or meat or fat for each garbage pail
or kitchen sink. If the bones and butch
er's waste are eliminated, these fig
ures would be increased to 100000
cattle and 100000 hogs.
Or, again, if the waste were distrib-
uted according to the per capita con-
sumption of the various meats (exclud-
ing bones), it would use up combin-
ed herd Of over $4,000 beef animals,
Isl 600 calves, over $4,000 sheep and
lambs, and over 2,132,000 hogs.
Millions of tons of feed and hay, the
grain from vast pastures and the labor
Of armies of cattlemen and butchers al
so would be scrappe>I by this meat
waste route.
But-every household doesn't waste
an ounce of meat or fat every day
Very well-make it one out of hun
; bred families, but keep in mind that al
meat allowed to spoil and all meat ant
fat rendered inedible by improper
as waste. Make it an ounce every 9th
er day or one month. Such waste
/ still would be uncomfortable, when mea
4 is scarce and when fat is of such vita
food Importance to many nations.
Waste of meat or fat is inexcusable
Every bit of lean meat can be used ii
soups, stews, or in combination witt
S cereals; every spoonful of fat can b.
: employed in cookery; every bit o
drippings and gravy can be saved 81
easily and used to add flavor an,
nourishment to other dishes.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture
: Washington, D. c.. or your State Agri
: cultural College will tell you how t
use bits of meat to make appetizin
ard nutritious dishes and how to us
Ileft-over fat in cookery.
