Their report will include estimates Of
what 1t will cost to install both heating

That the pool itself should be made as
large as possible, and under the new

PINTO PRODUCERS PROSPER

Recently the U. s. Food Admins
tration Grain Corporation had the
placing of an order for ten million
pounds of beans for a European ma
tion.
Plain Mr. Pinto Bean of Colorado
won this big order to be delivered in
New York City December 18th.
The price which will be paid is Z
cents net at Colorado shipping points,
100000 being gained for the pinto
bean industry in Colorado from this
one order.
To clear up misunderstanding as to
why pinto beans bring instead of 10
cents this year, the United States
Food Administration for Colorado
states that last year the government
bought the crop outright at a forced
price to encourage the young indus
try-an emergency measure only.
This year, pintos must compete In
price with Japanese grown beans, of.
tered handpicked and in perfect con-
dition at SIS per hundred, delivered at
Coast points.
California pinks bring only SIX cents
a pound. With the exception Of Michf-
gan navies, pinto beans lead the field
in price paid.

WHEAT BREAD AND
PLENTY SUGAR NOW
On COLORADO TABLES

Temporary peace has added two
luxuries to the American table. The
United States Food Administration
Tor Colorado announced last week
that pure wheat bread may now be
served on all tables. The sale and
use of substitutes is no longer neces-
sary, it is stated, because Of the re-
leasing OF large stores of flour in the
Southern Hemisphere which were
formerly tied up by the war and war
demands on shipping.
In sugar-producing states, such as
Colorado with its beet, and Louisiana
with it's cane sugar. the Food Admin
stration has increased the household
allowance of sugar to four pounds per
rerson per month.
Restaurants however, though per
mitted to serve wheat bread. are still
limited as to quantity served and are
permitted to serve only an extra tea
spoonful of sugar.
The need for keeping strictly with
in the sugar allowance and for vast
ing not crumb of tho welcomed
wheat bread is reiterated by the food
board.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-11-23
MEAT AND FAT FAMINE A
POSSIBILITY!

The meat situation threatens to be-
come serious. according to the Colo
RADIO Food Administration.
Outside of the military zone in
France there is practically no meat
in that country; what there is, is out
of the reach of the poor people in
price.
In England. the British food CON
troller has found it necessary to re-
duce the meat ration from one pound
to three-quarters of a pound per capita
weekly. There has also been gem
eral rise in price to the consumer OF
cents a pound in all meats.
In America Herbert Hoover has
promised that out of the none too
plentiful meat supply of this country
100000 tons of meat and fats VIII be
shipped to Europe during this current
year to relieve the situation over
there.
The Food Administration therefore
4rges the most intense and concen-
trated saving of meat and OF fats.
Coming high prices on these com
modities will enforce some saving In
them. but for the most part the
patriotism of the American peoDe Will
again be depended upon to fill this
1900. .000-ton meat and fat order.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-11-23
FOOD ADMINISTRATION TO
CONTINUE TILL PEACE is SIGNED
FOOD OBLIGATiCh5 MUST W
kEPT-NEED GREAT-MEAl-
LESS DAYS PROGRESSED.

That the United States Food Admin
istration is not to be abandoned or to
be absorbed by the Department OF
Agriculture but to continue in force
as separate arm of the government
until the day that peace is finally and
definitely declared by the President
is the statement given out by the
Food Administration.
"The Food Administration will then
automatically dissolve EXCEPT AS
TO OBLIGATIONS ENTERED UPON,
and these must and will be discharged
either by continuing the Food Ad-
ministration or by assigning them TO
other departments OF the government
In the meantime the Food Administra-
ton does not intend to relax its eff
forts in any direction" the statement
reads.
ut is believed at Washington that
at least six months will elapse before
the peace treaty is signed. During
this time the Food Administration will
use its fullest influence to check any
tendency on the part OF the people to
relax their food saving" stated Rob
y.
the Food Administration for Colorado.
Food must be saved in greater
quantity and variety than ever be-
fore. Peace has not lightened but ad-
ded to our obligations. 1t is estimated
that since the armistice 1S0,OOO,OOO
additional people are now partially
dependent upon the United States for
food.
Europe is nearly bare of meat and
fats. In these foods our greatest saw
ing and exporting must be made. |
expect to see meatless days in the
United States again this winter. We
have barely enough meat and fats for
our own use. yet we must ship min
imum of 2.600,O0 tons abroad. Some
such stringent regulation will prob
ably be necessary"

1919 WHEAT PRICE
~ S.-SD A.o FIXED,
DESPITE PEACE

The Food Administration Grain Cor
poratIon guarantee of $2.1S per
bushel f. q. b. primary markets lor
the 1919 Colorado wheat crop stands.
This is the assurance of the Fool
Administration for Colorado.
In spite of the fact that the end o.
the war has released great stores OF
wheat upon the markets OF the world
that wheat is now selling in Australia
at 90 cents a bushel; that only S1.03
is guaranteed for the 1919-1920 crop
of Australian wheat; and that there
is a prospect of even as low as 70-cent
wheat in Europe after the Argentine
harvest this month, the government
will maintain the price promised
American farmers for their wheat.
According to George S. Clayton,
chairman of the milling division of
the Food Administration for Colorado,
it is probable that a sliding tariff on
wheat will be arranged to protect
American wheat growers

SUGAR PORTION INCREASED

That portion of the Colorado public
which "eats around" may row rejoice
over a whole half ounce of sugar per
restaurant patron per meal.
Moreover. the Food Administration =
latest sugar ruling. as applied to pub
'c eating places. leaves it to the taste
of each individual patron how this
half-ource is to be used. 1t may be
used entirely in the coffee. or divided
hetwoen grapefruit, cereal and coffee.
That half-cunce is now restrictionless
e~cepting that 1t may not be served
" no food is served on which sugar
g needed.

FOOD PLANS UPSET
BY PEACE PACTS
WHEAT PLENTIFUL = MAY NOW
BE FED AN M A L S - BUT
WORLDS lARDER OTHER
WISE SHORT.

With ocean lanes to all markets OF
the world open again. the food situa-
ton has been overturned and entirely
new conditions set up.
As consequence the issuing OF the
1919 Home Card announced by the
Food Administration has been aban-
doned, a new inventory of the world s
food supplies is now being taken, and
Herbert Hoover plans to announce to
America very shortly an entirely new
and amazing food program.
Indications are that, with plenty oil
wheat now available from India. Aus
tralia, Baltic ports, and the Argentine,
no further wheat saving will be asked.
but that on every other food product
particularly fats and sugar-the lid
will tighten firmer than ever.
Wheat may now be fed to animals
without the customary permit from
the Food Administration, the rules
formerly forbidding the sale of wheat
as feed having been repealed, accord
ing to word received by the Colorado
food board.
When definite reports from the con-
quered peoples come in on the con-
dition of their food supplies and the
needs of their respective countries,
America will find that she must sup
ply not only the anticipated 17,550,00O
tons-and MORE-of food stuffs, but
must share her dairy herds, swine,
beef cattle and poultry to restock
European farms, is the belief OF the
Food Administration.
Holland, for example, has already
put in an order for $4,000 head OF
dairy cattle.

Control Your Conduct.

The worst kind of unhappiness, as
well as the greatest amount of it.,
comes from our conduct to each other.
If our conduct, therefore, were under
the control of kindness, it would be
nearly the opposite of what it is, and
so the state of the world would be
almost reversed. We are for the most
part unhappy because the world is an
unkind world. But the world is only
unkind for the lack of kindness in the
individuals who compose it.-Fred-
erick William Faber.

Taking for Effect.

A good conversationalist is not one
who talks for effect. 1t is generally
easy to pick out the man who is talk
ing in order to make an impression,
who says not so much what he thinks,
as what he imagines his listeners will
consider clever.

HOLD YOUR HORSES,
LET" TILL LATER

Lester Hice. of Bliss. Idaho,
has a solution for the beef-short-
age which is threatening Amer
lea and the world. The Colo
RADIO Food Administration re-
ceived the following letter from
the patriotic and commercially
astute Mr.. Hice:
II am writing trying to find a
market for horse meat F. o. b.
Ragerson, Idaho. l can furnish
20 or 80 cars of dressed meat of

FOOD ADMINISTRATION
TO KEEP PRICES DOWN TO
LOWEST POSSIBLE LEVEL

In a recent interview Herbert
Hoover assured the American peo-
pie that the Food Administration. as
long as it's power continues. will main
tain its Fair Price committees, con-
tinue to exercise wherever possible
just control of prices, and will en-
deavor to the fullest extent OF Its
oowers to keep prices down.

CAN "CRANS"

With three pounas Oh sugar now

Plenty of sugar now right in your

advantage of this fruit while it is on
the market.

Color of Copper.

Absolutely pure copper may have
light gray color like that of most other

which has been ten times distilled in

Look to 1919 Seed Now.

To be prepared for n possible scar
city of seed next year, growers of root
crops of all kinds would do well to
take steps to insure at least partial
supply by growing seed themselves,
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture advise. This
can be done only by the use Of roots
already grown and now in the ground
or held in storage. Such crops as car
rots, beets, onions, turnips. rutabagas,
parsnips and satisfy are involved
owing to unfavorable weather condi-
tions so far this year In regions where
the chief seed supply of these crops
is produced. This fact, together with
the uncertainty of the usual European
sources. which cannot be relied upon
to supply us. threatens a very consid-
cradle shortage for next years plant
ing. Since 1t takes two years to pro-
duce these seeds. this shortage can
only be alleviated by the planting for
seed of roots already grown. Farmers
Bulletin SS4 gives directions for the
home production of seed of those crops
mentioned and other vegetables

Starting With Bees.

The best place to buy bees is near
home. There are hundreds of colonies
In almost every county which are un-
productive and which might better
change hands, bee specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture believe. If the prospective bee
keeper does not know where these are,
a small advertisement in local paper
will often locate them. If colonies can
not be found near by they can be
bought of dealers in bees who adver-
tise in the bee journals.
The best hive for all parts of the
country is the 10-frame Langstroth,
which is the American standard. II
possible buy bees already established
in these hives but If only other hives
are available the bees can later be
transferred to the desired hive.
An advantage in buying bees locally
is that the bees are usually delivered
by their former owner. If it is nee
essary for the beginner to go for the
bees the hive should be securely closed
with wire cloth just before dark when
the bees are all in the hive, plenty of
ventilation being provided. Usually
the hive cover Is removed and the top
of the hive covered with wire cloth.

HONEYS CHANCE TO HELP
INCREASE SUGAR SUPPLY.


The average annual honey
crop of the United States is
about 25O,00O,OOO pounds and is
sufficient to supply each man,
woman and child with about 21s
pounds u year, which is equiva-
lent to 3 per cent of the amount
of sugar they consume in nor
NAL time. Thus there Is ample
room for expansion of both the
production and consumption.
The present use of honey In the
home usually is us substitute
for jellies, jams and sirup. 1t is
little used in domestic cooking
or baking, but this use should be
increased. While honey within
recent years has sold at prices
sufficiently low to Justify its
use as substitute for sugar, 1t
Is rarely used in commercial
food manufacturing except in
the making of certain cakes
which must be kept moist for a
considerable time. Usually,
however. the supply of honey is
so inadequate that most of the
crop can be used as spread for
bread. With the use limited as
it is, many people In the United
States rarely eat honey, but 1t Is
evident that there might be de-
veloped ready sale for honey
as supplement to sugar. If pro-
duction were Increased many
times.

Gets Bio Wolf,

J. w. Fountain, rancher of the Nc

Ore, recently brought to Eugene the
pelt of a huge black wolf trapped by
him.
He caught it in two traps, set close
to each other, and the animal had both
broken and would have escaped soon
had Mr.. Fountain not arrived when he
did. There are several of these ami
mails in that vicinity, and the ranchers
have been losing cattle and sheep as a
result of their depredations.
This wolf was one of the largest
ever seen in this county, measuring
over eight feet from tip to tip.
