Official Interpretation Of the closing
order issued by the state board of
health as preventive measure
against spread of the Spanish In
fiuenZa In the state gives the order a
more drastic effect than was apparent
in the original announcement. Pool
and billiard halls, lodges, dance halls
and church social activities, as well
as theatres and public swimming
pools come under The ban, it was
held by DR.. E. T. Biwer, secretary of
the board, VINO issued a supplement-
airy order to county health officers
explaining the effect of the original
order.
BY order OF the federal and state
food administrations, the grading OF
potatoes by licensed dealers seeking
markets outside the state will be
compulsory, Harvey Alfred, director
OF the state farm markets bureau,
announced 10 bulletin issued last
week. The prospect for future potato
prices Is good, providing cars can be
had at the proper time for shipping,
1t is stated. Transportation and
weather conditions being favorable,
prices should not go below $l.20 for
U. S. No. grade; ST. 35 for U. S. No.
2, and 81 so for Idaho fancy.
In view of complaints received by
Food Administrator Bicknell from
dealers that the price restrictions
placed by him on sales of low grade
wheat for feed purposes under the
permit system recently announced
was retarding their dealings 10 such
wheat, he said that the program was
not established for the benefit of
dealers aud it was a matter of in
difference to him whether or not they
handled such wheat. Mr.. Bicknell
makes 1t clear that special permits
for feed wheat that grades below No.
B, such as mixed and shrunken grades,
ire issued as a matter of relief to
growers OF stock because of the acute
mill feed shortage, but be prefers
hat the producers of such whest feed
1t to their own stock where permits
ire issued, or that they sell it, To
nelghboring livestock men, rather
than to dealers.
