WARNING FROM
THE FOOD ADMINISTRATOR

Numerous complaints coming to
this Office daily indicate that patient
leniency and patriotic appeal seems
wasted in effort to get retail grocers
of Florida to conform to the rulings
of the United States food admins
tration. /, therefore, issue, this sec
ond and final warning to all retail
grocers, that further evasion, viola
ton, or disregard to food administra-
tion rulings will result in immediate
steps to cut off supplies to all such
violators, or those who are making
extortionate charges. Retailers can
not trade among themselves, and
then place additional charge on goods
to consumer"
This statement has just been issued
to the press of Florida by Federal
Food Administrator Braxton Beach
am. Mr.. Beacham intends to go no
further with some of the wilful vio-
lators of the food administration rul-
ings, and those who selfshly strive to
enrich themselves at this particular
time at the expense of the consumer.
Continuing further in his admonitions
20 the retail grocers, Mr.. Beacham
says:
81 will not excuse any grocer from
observance of these rulings because
Of the shortage of supply, or any
other plea that he may make in exten-
uation of his advance of prices.
Grocers have been repeatedly shown
that the wisest plan to pursue is that
of full and loyal cooperation with
the government authorities, and If
they will not adhere to these rulings
and strive to assist in this hour of
need by eradicating some part of
their selfshness, then they must be
taught lesson that will result in the
best and most quick results, and will
give the greatest benefits to the
country at large"

SAVE COTTON SEED
At Least Double Supply Should be
Kept on Hand to Meet All
Emergencies

Washington, Dec. 19.-That cot
ton growers should save at least
twice as much seed as their acreage
next season will require for single
planting, in order to be prepared fol
emergencies, is the suggestion of
specialists of the u. S. department
of agriculture in a statement issued
today. 1t is feared that the high
prices being paid for cotton seed by
oil mills may tempt farmers immed-
lately to dispose of every bushel not
actually required for a single plant
ing of next years crop. 1t is of spe-
cial Importance at this time, the spe-
cialists say, that ample provision be
made for replanting, which often is
necessary. 1t is. pointed out that cli-
matte conditions in parts of the cot
ton belt may make necessary next
spring, as they did last spring, a re.
planting of the crop several times in
order to get a stand.
A reserve of one bushel of cotton
seed for every acre to be planted
might be taken as basis, the state.
ment says, for calculating the total
amount of seed that will be required
next year This reserve would pro-
vide for the first planting and a re-
planting, in case this should be nee
essary, at the rate of half bushel
to the acre. Farmers who ordinar-
lily use higher rate of planting than
this should increase their reserve sup
ply of seed accordingly. Those who
use lower rate may not need so
large reserve, but it would be safer
to reserve literally and then reduce,
! if there is leftover, after stand
of cotton has been secured.
Only the best seed should be saw
ed for planting the next crop, the
statement says. Badly mixed seed OF
seed of a degenerate variety is not
Disseminated against at the oil mills,
but no farmer should plant such seed
if supply of better sort is avail
able. An increased yield and higher
quality of fiber can be counted on If
pure seed is planted. Many farmers
would find it to their advantage to
obtain a supply of superior seed for
next year and dispose of their poorer
stock at the oil mill. However, such
step obviously should not be taken
until the superior seed has been OBJ
tanned.
| Growers are again urged to ar
range for special care in the ginning
of their planting seed. Every pre-
caution should be taken to avoid ad-
mixture with other varieties. To do
this successfully it is necessary to
clean all the ginning machinery, es-
pecially the roll box, before ginning
the lot fro mwhich seed is to be saved
for planting. This seed should not
be allowed to fall into the seed con.
veyor but on the floor, where Il car
be sacked separately.
