to take part in the seed conservation
program. Hoarding has become a
virtue. Hoard your seeds and
shells!" is becoming the war cry of
the grocer and housewife through
the efforts of the local food adminis-
tration.
AS the housewife must come to the
grocer for sugar and canning sup
plies, grocers have been requested by
the food administrator to place a
barrel in their stores for the public
to throw their peachstones in. The
fruit stones must be washed and
dried by the public first, thus elm
mating the possibility of unsanitary
conditions.
The stones will be concentrated and
packed under the direction of Mrs.
Mabel Cronise Jones. head of the
Salvage committee of the Red Cross
They will be shipped to the Gas di-
vision for ultimate manufacture into
