oughly gone into, with the idea of
proving for the, state that the child
could not have wandered away. That
there was a board missing on a fence
on his land was point picked up by
the defence, which they possibly will
use to piece together the story of the
manner of the child's arrival at the
place where the body was found. Mr..
Gray also told of the search made
for the girl and how the news that
she was missing first came to him,
when on the night of July it was
brought by the father of the dead
girl.

VEGETABLE EATING ONE
WAY TO Be APATR|OT
Director Hoover Says It Will Result
in Huge Savings Next
Winter.

An increased vegetable diet is urged
on the American people by Herbert c.
Hoover as a means of conserving the
supply of staple foodstuffs. In an appeal
to the country's housewives Mr.. Hoover
emphasized the allies needs of staples
and the probable needs of this country
next winter.
we want the American people to
increase the proportion of vegetables in
their diet for many reasons" Mr..
Hoover said. Vegetables, including
potatoes. compose but a small fraction
of the diet of the Americans. considered
as nation.
of our total foodstuffs. in terms of
units, only about IA per cent are sup
piled in the form of vegetables, while
some 40 per cent arises from cereal
products, including bread: 20 per cent
from various animal products, and 13
per cent from sugar. The widespread
agitation throughout the country to
increase production of foodStuffS has
resulted in large expansion of the
garden area, and with normal weather
conditions We may hope for greatly
increased supply of garden vegetables.
These may be disposed of either by
direct consumption during the summer
months or conservation for winter use.

q. S. May Halt Deliveries.

Coordination of allied food purchases
will be esta b1ished as soon as the food
bills and the export limitations act be-
come laws. At present the allies and
neutral countries are purchasing in
large quantities for future delivery.
There is no guarantee that all these
deliveries will be made, this gov
ernment may hold up contracts to as
sure an adequate food supply at home.
The food administration. soon it
is created, will begin to pass on these
sumers.
Mr.. Hoover denied report yesterday
that the food administration will buy
the countryS grain crop for distribu-
tion. There is no intention. he said. of
going into the grain business.
More than dozen woman home eco
nomic experts called on Mr. Hoover
yesterday to learn how they may assist
in food conservation. Most of them are
teachers of home economics in wom-
ems colleges.

said Mr.. Hoover. for North America to
furnish all of this quantity. although
the major load must fall on us. In any
event it emphasizes the necessity for
control OF exports in order to control
prices and protect our supply, and the
necessity for conservation and eiimina-
tion of waste in order TO increase the
volume of our exports.
: Mr.. Hoover believes the United States
= and Canada can export this year at
least 60o, 100000 bushels of grain. If
the winter wheat crop improves and
the spring crop is larger than normal
: he believes this may be increased to
! 500, 900. 900 bushels. Shipment Of that
much grain. much of ii wheat, how
erer. will force American consumers to
eat less wheat than usual and eat
more of other cereals

during the summer months will even
be improved if the proportion of vege-
tables in the general diet is doubled.
THE alternative would be to conserve,
the vegetables for winter use, and while
everything could be done that is pos
sib1e in the way of drying vegetables.
it must be borne in mind that. owing.
to the shortage in time. the normal
canning capacity of the country will
be greatly reduced in it's application
to vegetables.
Price conditions in the larger cities
may not permit of SO large proportion
of substitution of vegetables as in the
country districts and smaller towns. 1t
is even more important therefore that
in the country districts and smaller
towns vegetables should be substituted
for the staples because this will great
