American Sardines.

Our imports of sardines from France

been almost entirely cut of by war
but the California sardine industry IL
developing 20 rapidly that N. B. SEQ
field, fish and game commissioner OF
that state, estimates an output OF z.
100000 cases Of California sardines in
another year. The California sardine
has suffered market handicaps due tc
lack Of standardization Of pack. This
difficulty Is now being overcome by CO
operation among the packers, and bet
ter methods Of handling the fish from
the time they are taken out Of the
water until they 60 into the can are
being developed. Gamers representing
80 per cent Of the Maine sardine can
ming industry in cooperation with the
food administration have voluntarily
agreed to reduce their price to $500 a
case Of 100 cans for the one-fOurth size
in oil and for the three-fourths size In
mustard, and 500 a case Of 100 key
cans in the one-fourth size In oil. This
will enable retailers to sell the key.
less cans at three for % cents, and the
grocery trade has lined up behind the
Maine Gamers to distribute both this
and last years pack at those prices.

Common Sense PIua

The class In Commercial English
was studying the parcel post system,
The subject being discussed was the
size Of admissible matter under this
class, to be sent In any zone. The cor
rect rule for this is to measure the
parcel from end to end with an 81
inch tape measure, and then use the
rest Of the measure to stretch around
the circumference Of the parcel. Il
any surplus inches Of tape come
around. then the parcel Is Of correct
size.

Use Potatoes.

During the next five months potatoes
must be used more freely in American
homes than ever before unless the ma
ton, with its heavy burden of respon-
sibility for food saving becomes guilty
of blamable waste. Unfortunately las,
years large potato crop was Of poor
quality, 90 taken from the flelds.
Added to this condition is the fact
that potato eaters changed their food
habits last spring when these tubers be.
came Injuries; and only the earnest and
continuous cooperation of producers and
distributors will restore the potato to It's
rightful place on the table of every
household.
The Food Administration Ia convinced
that potato grading is sound economic
measure. Potatoes too small or too
badly injured for human use are still
valuable for bog feed, better II boiled
in the form of pork they will bring
good money. But In the shippers
dump pile, they are total loss.
Shippers have the support of Uncle
Sam in adopting the two grades recon-
mended by the Food Administration and
the Department of Agriculture. The
Food Administration lalready prohibits
licensed handlers from shipping or sell
ing for food purposes from points of
production, potatoes which are not
practically free from frost injury and
decay and entirely free from specified
injuries and disease, dirt and foreign
matter.
