The action was taken following an
inouncement that the food administra-
i ton had adopted in the Middle West
the policy of considering a pound of
pork worth approximately seven and
one-half pounds of corn. The associ-
alton urged that eight pounds of bar
ley be considered the equipalent of one
pound of pork, and that "either the
price of barley or hogs be estab-
lished on a basis that will place the
! California hog grower on an equal
basis with producers in the Middle

Of a turkeyless thanksgiving Ills
nouncement that there is p!en-

most important he has yet made-just

much more important to his own pres
tire it is that he make good IN TINS
particular even than that he show re-
suits in wheat. meat and fat along
other lines.
For. MIR. Hoover, this is no matter
for light consideration and offhand
demonstration. There is an almost
sacred custom involved. To have or
rot to have turkeys for Thanksgiving
became some years sine ca settled
matter in many an American home
Indeed. the lines of Thanksgiving So
cial demarcation became somewhat
generally defined on the selection OF
Thanksgiving fowl. Many of US grad
ually came to have pronounced taste
for chicken or goose on that day, the
lcrdly turkey acquiring sudden rep
utation for unpalatability with great
many of US that has grown as his
price grew.
And now you come, Mr.. Hoover,
with an announcement that immedi-
ately throws us into state Of un-
certainty. Many of US discover that
he have d hankering for the struttinc
ird, after all. And its to be rea-
soaable in price. The great American
home will know of that forecast more
quickly than it knew Of food conser-
