big a profit as they should7 Let them
preserve the food for the sake or the
world need, as the American people
planted it for that need.
1--WE are sending letters to all our
members throughout the state, asking
them to establish municipal canneries
wherever they can. To the farm wom-
en- who have quantities Of fruit we
are sending directions Tor sterilizing
fruit juice and putting it up without
sugar. 1t can be sold in bulk to city
women, who will make their own jelly,
saving the farmers wife the expense
of buying sugar, an item so great that
in many cases it prohibits Jelly max
ing"
There seems to be no large municipal
establishment TO provide for the sur
plus crops, though many small ones
dot the state. There is the canning
kitchen Of the Long Island Food Bat
talon at Hicksville, which long ago
burst its warehouse with the vast store
of vegetables sent in by farmers for
Long Islands poor. The canning was
done by volunteer workers the first
three days of each week. On the other
three days of the week the farmers
wives were allowed to bring their prod
uce and can IL for their own use.
Several similar kitchens were started
in other parts of Long Island.
Another system in use 20 small ex-
tent is to establish canning kitchens
where women send their fruit and
vegetables and have them preserved for
them at a nominal sum- cents Jar.
Women Buy Storage Space
In Syracuse they have improved upon
this scheme, and have an establish
ment with a warehouse, where the
women not only have their preserving
done at cost but also buy storage
space. Each Jar is marked with the
owners name, and she can leave 1t
there until she needs it next winter.
This plan makes preserving simple for
the fat dweller who has no storage
room for large supply of canned
goods.
The National Plant, Flower and
Fruit Guild has offered to take over
garden surplus which the owners wish
TO donate to the poor. Produce raised
in the parks and vacant lots Of New
York City is being donated by the
Park Department to the various city
hospitals.
InwOod Women Have Market
The women of the Inwood section
have established their own "glut mar
ket," under the direction Of Mrs:
Evelyn Aldrich, who is a graduate of
Cornell Agricultural College, and has
operated two farms Of her own upstate.
She arranged with Westchester
farmers to send their vegetabl les and
fruit direct to her, and then she con-
tracted with a chain Of stores in the
neighborhood to open market stalls,
where the goods were sold 20 per
cent cheaper than the regular dealers
charged. The plan has been in opera
ton for several weeks, and has paid
expenses, besides giving the house
wives the advantage of getting their
produce fresh from the country. d,
This is practically the method urged
By Food Commissioner Dillon, who
asks the people of New York to form
small neighborhood clubs, which will
buy from the farmers and sell to the
members at cost.

Big Crops Rot on Ground
AS Farmers Seek Market
"Clt Centers Urged to Take Care of Foodstufs Which
Canneries Refuse to Handle-Community Canning
Stations and Cold Storage Houses Advocated

Cries of distress from owners Of the
tomato patches and the cornfelds fill
the August air. Enthusiastic patriots
who planted so gayly in May, turning
up their croquet grounds and all the
vacant lots to potatoes, and hiring Boy
Scouts to plant the hay fields with
beans and peas, now survey their handi-
work with dismay.
What is to become Of all this food :?
The committees who organized the
planting in many cases are disbanded
for the summer, and the Boy Scouts
have vanished. The crops languish on
the vines and in the ground. lndivid-
uals are willing to do their share in
canning and preserving them, but few
have the energy to undertake the care
Of an entire crop.
Prominent men and women confessed
yesterday that they saw no way out of
the problem, unless the local authori-
ties took drastic action at once.
"Glut Markets" Urged
Joseph Hartigan, former Commits
sioner Of Weights and Measures, stated
that he had advocated eight weeks ago
tho establishment of "glut markets" by
the city, to which farmers could send
their surplus crop, which would then
be sold at low price to city women,
who would can it in their own kitchens.
~ know one hundred cases,n he said,
mot Of amateur farmers, with a few
bushels Of produce, but market gar
deners, and professional farmers, who
went ahead this spring and planted big
crops, because Of the talk about the
scarcity of food, and now they are in
despair, because they can't find mar
ket for their stuff. They are plough
ing them under, or letting them rot. 1t
isn't that they want to keep the market
price up, or that they want big price
for themselves. They can't get any
market at all
$50 far as l can ascertain, nothing is
being done, not only here, but anywhere
in the country, to preserve the enor-
nous crops that patriotic Americans
have raised. it is left to George to do
it--or usually to Mary, who is expected
to can everything in her own kitchen.
1t is too much for George and Mary.
The town authorities must take it up"
Mrs. Irving Brock, chairman Of the
home economic section of the National
League for Won.an's Service, voiced the
same complaint.
Cannery Refuses Spinach
81 know a market gardener out on
Long Island" she said, who had sew
eral acres of spinach. He offered 1t
to a canning establishment, and they
refused it on the ground that there
was so little demand for canned spin
ach it wouldn't pay to put it up.

establishments bore little of the war
burden. What if they don't make as

The Tribune Fresh Air Fund

The Elks have come to the rescue
again. This time the rescuing party
is throwing out the life line from the
lodge in Rome, n. Y.
About ten days ago one of The Trib-
une Fresh Air Funds field workers
started in to interest the people Of
Rome in a plan to provide some of the
tot, of the New York tenements with
country vacations. For days the best
efforts of the worker did not uncover
any one who was willing TO lead the
movement. In Rome, as in many other
places to which the worker had gone,
everybody capable of leading such a
movement was already leading a Red
Cross campaign and had no time for
other things.
Appeals to the Elks
Some weeks ago the worker had
solved a similar situation In Hornell,
n. y. by appealing TO the b. P. o. E.
oil fnAL place, WIN Nl' ANoN'N N''NS N''~
organization invited close TO seventy
little New Workers to spend vacations
in the neighborhood as its guests. She
therefore appealed to the Elks of
Rome.
Exalted Ruler Schuderer wasn't ex-
actly sure how the plan would take,
but he called a committee meeting, at
which were present Mayor INDIAN, Dis
trict Attorney O'Connor and other in
fuential men. Even the meeting hung
fire for a while until some one-pos-
sibly the Mayor, possibly the District
Attorney-made n speech which began
something Ike this:
"Gentlemen, we are citizens of Rome,
but we are also citizens OF New York
State. Our citizenship makes US re-
sponsible for the welfare Of the whole
state and Of all the people of it, no
matter where they live. Down in New

The Sinews of War
California Fish Industry Has Been Stimulated to
Undreamed-Of Proportions
Pv THEODORE M. KNAPPEN

Of meat, side by side, that any diff
ference can be noticed. The whale
steak has the advantage of being all
solid meat, no bone or other waste.
Hitherto the Pacific Coast whaling
companies have converted the whole
of the carcass into fertilizer and
chicken feed, but there is more profit
and social service in selling the red
meat for human consumption.
Whales frequent this coast in great
numbers, and if large demand can
be created the supply will be forth
coming.
The Pacific Coast sardine is also
rushing to the front to fill the gaps
in the worlds food supplies. A COM
paratively new industry, the pack is
already running into large figures,
being this year in the neighborhood
of 100000 cases and much cheaper
than the Maine sardine.
Wars demands are giving new
impetus to the tuna fisheries of San
Diego and Los Angeles. The tuna
packing industry is relatively new
sea food source, but is beginning to
rival the salmon business. This
years output will be about 100000
cases, and the demand far exceeds
the present supply.
Scientists and fishing companies
are giving much attention to the de-
velopment of other sea foods. 1t Is
said that there are immense sources
of supply in species that have not
hitherto been used, except in linn
tied way while fresh. The Califor-
MIA Market Commission is giving
much study to the subject, as well
as to the general question of organ
ling the whole fresh fish business
so that prices will be much reduced.
Thanks to its efforts, the average
price of fresh fish at San Francisco
is now being lowered by 20 per cent.
The Importance of the adequate
development of the Pacific fisheries
may be gathered from statement
commonly made that certain waters
of the Pacific can be made to pro-
duce more food to the square mile
than a section of wheat land.
Here, again, the Kaiser and his
war are proving to be very efficient
American industrial agencies. Ger
man guns are hitting some unex-
pected targets. According to the
economic theory of the rise and fall
of nations, Germany is waging this
war to fill its larder-but is really
spreading the American table. The
Kaiser, like the cross-eyed man, Is
not hitting where he is looking.

Plays and Players

George Arliss's new play, the precise
nature of which has been surrounded
with considerable secrecy, is woven
around Alexander Hamilton. The play
is the work of Mr.. Arliss and Mrs. Mary
Hamlin, and will be called simply Ham
ilton." This newest addition to Mr..
A1liss's historical gallery will be re-
vealed at the Knickerbocker Theatre on
September II, following few days in
Atlantic City.
Hamilton, according to the announce
ment, has never before been imper-
sonated on the stage. The scenes Of
the new play are laid during Washing
tons Administration. and the central
intrigue and accompanying incidents
are historical. Other characters figur-
ing in the play are Jefferson, Monroe,
Jay and Talleyrand.
The plans Of Klaw & Erlanger for
the season call for production on this
firms customarily lively scale. Their
ron-musical productions will include
"Here Comes the Bride" opening at the
Conan next week; "The Good Provider,"
by Harriet Ford and Fannie Hurst;
"Under Pressure" by Sydney Rosen-
field, and "The Brain Promoter" by Ed
ward Laska. They will be associated
with George c. Tyler and with Henry

MONTEREY, CAL, Aug. T.
Seeking shells and seaweeds on the
sands of Monterey" Robert LOUIS
Stevenson idled here as the Latin
Californians had idled before him IN
the golden, idle '4Os." Idlers there
are to-day also in the classic park OF
Del Monte. At Carmel-by-the-Sea
more than 60 per cent Of the inhao-
itants, so the veracious chronicler OF
the riches and glories of Monterey
County asserts, are "devoting their
lives to work connected with the as-
thetic arts, as broadly defined" But
crude oil pours into big tankers near
Del Monte, Mission San Carlos looks
down upon a sardine factory, and
over against Carmel-by-the-Sea an
abalone packing house runs at high
speed to contribute its part to the
satisfying of the worlds demand for
food.
While the dreamers dream, pro-
moters and professors extract am
munition from seaweed and discuss
the ways and means of utilizing the
wealth of sea food in the waters of
the Pacific. The artist may prize
the abalone for its iridescent shell,
but the food purveyor considers its
compact meat. Whales spouting in
the blue bay arouse the imagination
and recall Dana's 1.-TWO Years Be
fore the Mast and the Monterey ad-
ventures it records, but, just now,
whale meat as a substitute for beef
has more of an appeal for practical
minds. The poet may liken the
grand curve of the bay to that of
Naples, but sardines look better to
the provider of ailments.
To the hungry man there is more
inspiration in the following line Of
the menu of the Techau Tavern in
San Francisco than in blue sea
rhapsodies:
"Grilled whale meat steak, with
marrow sauce and new peas, 6Oc."
This is nowadays such a world of
flux and change that they. may al
ready be serving whale steak in New
York. 1t is certainly an established
factor in the food supply on this
coast, especially in Washington and
Oregon, where it is commonly on
sale at meat shops. Seattle alone
now consumes eight tons of whale
meat day.
The best whale steak sells for 10
cents a pound, as against % cents
for good sirloin, and in taste and
color so closely resembles beef that
it is only by sampling the two kinds

York City there are poor little young
sters who will not get a breath of
fresh air nor taste of the shady
woods this summer unless the B. P. o.

near here and lets them get their

that was enthusiastic 10 put the plan
through-to do the thing up brown
The final result has not been made
known yet, but the committee sent
word to the Tribune Fund Yesterday
that arrangements had been made "for
camp on the edge of a stream in the
woods a few miles out" from the city
and that they wanted "a bunch of boys
to fill it"-just how many they would
wire shortly.
So the bunch of boys is to 20 out

For the entertainment of the boys the
Elks have enlisted the local Boy
Scouts, and have also called on the
members of the lodge who have cars to
help arrange various automobile ex-
cursions for tho prospective guests.
That there is a deep plot afoot to
fatten the boys up so that their parents
won't know them when they reach
home again is indicated by this SEN
tence in "The Rome Daily Sentinel:
"The commissary will serve three
substantial meals a day, including

Hostile Legislative Leaders
Make Important Conces-
sions in Programme
Conference To- day
Governor Is Expected to In
sist on "My Bill or
No Other"
tstan Correspmdencel

ALBANY, Aug. O. When Governor
Whitman returned to-day from the up
State speaking trip during which he
appealed to the farmer in behalf of
his food control bill, he found that the
hostile legislative leaders had made
several concessions in their fight
against his programme.
Senate Leader Brown and other men,
bers Of the War Committee partly met
the Governors demand that the pro-
posed State Food Commission be en-
powered to buy and sell necessaries
when exorbitant prices prevail. They
decided to allow municipalities to do
this upon permission of the commits
sion.
Opponents Yield
Another concession to the Governor
related to his demand that the food
commission be authorized to comman-
deer foodstuffs when horded and sell
it to consumers at reasonable cost.
The legislative leaders decided to per-
NIT the State Commission to do this
only after the Federal food authori-
ties had failed to undertake the task,
after three days notice.
The establishment of terminal mar
kets was another point on which the
War Committee backed down. Al
though unalterably opposed to this up
to yesterday, the members to-day de-
cided to authorize the creation Of ter
minals, the cost of their erection and
maintenance to be shared equally by
the state and the localities.
Famine" Feature Out
The so-called famine" feature of the
War Committee bill was also elimin-
ated in Difference to Mr.. Whitman. As
originally drawn the bill proposed that
only when famine threatened could the
food commission purchase food in the
open market and sell it to the consumer
near cost. The bill now reads that
this action may be taken an case of
emergency or anticipated emergency"
Brown and other legislative captains
still are insisting that the legisla-
ture name the three food commission
ers. But the belief here is that they
are temporarily retaining this feature
as one Of the grounds for compromise
with the Governor.
Mr.. Whitman announced to-day that
the only terms upon which he would
compromise are the enactment of my
bill and no other" How far Mr.. Whit
man will go in enforcing this ultima
tum will be known after a conference
in the executive Offices tomorrow. All
hostile interests will be represented.
