WILL USE STATE FAIRS
TO TEACHFOOD SAVING
Hoover To Send Representa-
lives to These to Get In
Touch with All Classes

Word was received here today by
Secretary Lee and the Oregon State
Fair from Ray P. Speer, secretary of
the American association of State Fairs
and Expositions that special food
training department has been organized
at Washington to work out definite
plans by which Herbert c. Hoover di-
rector of food control, can make the
greatest possible use of the State Fairs
and Expositions of the country in pre-
senting to the American people the
great food problems which now confront
the nation.
Enclosed with the communication
from Mr.. Speer was statement of DIR.
Raymond Lyman Wilbur, Mr.. Hoover IS
chief assistant outlinig method which
ii is possible to pursue by the govern
ment in instructing tne people how to
increase food production and eliminate
food waste
tThe problem, reads this state
ment, rs to present graphical essen
tials of the present food situation. The
aim is to bring out the following
lpoints:
To Use Perishable Foods.
First-The free use of perishable
food products,
"Second-The use locally of these
products and other home grown pro-
ducts.
"Third-The use of substitute foods
which grow in quantities for the staples,
particularly for wheat, pork products
and meat which we must save for trans
portation to our allies.
Fourth-The saving particularly of
milk and butter, as well as meat, so that
the milk and butter can reach the poor
children, particularly the poor children
of our country.
'tMethods Of preparing food to store,
semi-perishable food products, an dthe
preparation of substitutes must all be
graphically displayed. 1t is very i'm
Fortant in all this work to bring out
the object to be obtained and to indi-
cate the national and international sig
nificance of the little things associated
with the preparation of food for the
home, hotel, or other eating place.
Saving Small Items.
"1t is also important to indicate
that while each. thing in itself may
seem small and each saving little one,
