TO Save Whole Grains
Not Fed to Chickens

Representatives of fifty manufac-
turers of feeding stuffs with plants
in twenty states at a meeting at the
Capitol to-day arranged to place
upon markets the standard poultry
feed worked out by the Federal War
Poultry Commission for Pennsylva-
mia and the experts of the State De-
partment of Agriculture which 1t is
expected will utilize by-products and
enable the whole grains to be used
for food.
]. f. Lantz, ely, and II. L. Wat
son, Lancaster, presented standards
which they declared represented the
correct amount of nutritive ele-
ments needed for laying hens and
urged the importance of grain :on-
servation. e. b. Dorsett, chief of the
state bureau of markets, said shat
the bureau would cor-operate' and
urged doubling the poultry stock Of
the state. The proposed standard
and necessity of conserving whole
grains formerly fed to chickens was
presented to poultrymen at a recent
meeting here.

dirty snow and ice Park department
| off1cials declare that the damage
whlch mas been done to the grass
and trees by the heavy carts and
auto trucks will be at least $500 and
declared the highway department
should be made to pay for the clean
up which will be necessary
AT Boas street there is a roadway
10 the river and also at Verbeke
street. These could easily have been
used and the snow dumped into the
river. Instead the carts, wagons and
trucks were driven over the grass
and emptied right in the park be-
cause 1t was easier. Seeing city high
way department carts and vehicles
emptying snow and ice in the park
proved an invitation to other un-
scrupulous persons and already little
piles or dirt, broken brick and other
refuse are appearin
commissioner Gross declared to-
Gay that prosecutions will be brought
IL the dumping anywhere in the park
is not stopped.
Many Raise Objections
thousands and thousands of dol
lars nave been spent to beautify the
River Front and make it a public re-
/. Never before in the history of the
department have such conditions ex-
isted. Residents in the vicinity and
others who walked along the River
Front during the last few DAYS have
raised serious objections to the ac-
ton of the highway department. 1t
must be stopped and even now hun
dreds of dollars worth of damage
has been done. Many of the trees
have been barked and some may be
ruined, and the grass in spots has
been cut.
There is absolutely no necessity
for dumping in the park. With the
two roadways to the river, teams
hauling snow from uptown streets
have place to dump the snow. To-
day some of the teams hauled large
pieces of ice which had been remov-
ed from the streets, and dumped
them on the path from Calder to
Harris streets.
Dumping Ashes
In South Harrisburg along the
park, residents have been dumping
ashes. This must be stopped also.
Last year hundreds of trees and
bushes were planted in this stretch
of the park, but if the persons in the
vicinity continue using it as a public
dump the money and work to i'm
prove the place will have been
wasted"
Annually the park department has
been having trouble to prevent using
of River Front Park as q dumping
place for snow and refuse but until
this year the rules of the depart
ment have been observed.
Commissioner Gross said the
highway department had been noti-
fed not to dump in the park. At the
time Mayor Keister issued his
snow removal day" proclamation,
the park department issued a public
notice also that there should be no
dumping anywhere in the park.

The bakers here understand that
the federal government has shut

to the shortage.
The only concern in Harrisburg
that is not worried over the imme-
date situation is the Standard Bak-
ing Company. which was fortunate
in storing up a considerable quantity
of flour so that there is enough now
to run for several weeks. The West
Shore bakery reported that they had
only sufficient flour to last the rest
of this week.

was able to get one full car of flour
to-day, principally through the eff
