in facilitating its distribution.
Feedstuffs are holding very firm.
Because of the acreage devoted to
wheat the oat crop of the Pacific North
west is decidedly deficient, while, with
the closing of the breweries, and the
expansion in demands for other than
feed purposes, the supplies are light.
Efforts are being made to secure Cana
dian oats, but the difficulty in securing
facilities of transportation operates
against deliveries. Millfeed is also
more restricted in the supply with the
demand for 95 per cent -four and on
the whole the feed situation is showing
increasing difficulties in securing sup
plies, and with market holding very
strong.

Handle Bag Question First.

The executive cohhittee, which was
named to consider business before
the conference began, elected sub
committee of five to continue the
work. This is composed of Almer
McCsrtain, Davenport, B. F. Brewer,
Walla Walla; Edgar Williams, Mob
Ter; A. c. Whistler, Garfield, and c.
w. Booth, Nez Perez, Idaho.
The general understanding is that
while this committee will take up all
questions connected with the wheat
and other grain, the bag question
should be first worked out.
The two sets of resolutions passed
by the conference call on the govern
ment to relieve the sack situation
and intimate that the price of %
cents, quoted to the meeting, was
exorbitant. There is said to be a lar
ger quantity of sacks in this country
than dealers are willing to admit.

Butter-While there is no surplus,
current receipts of butter is holding
up to current requirements, and the
market is steady. The demand for
milk from the condensers is still well
sustained, and keeping production well
in hand.
Cheese-Is showing increased scare

vances, other than for special brands
Trade is seasonable.
Eggs-Have advanced again, an un-
usual development for the season, in
duced by the picking up of several car
loads for shipment to New York, and
reducing current stocks materially.
Fresh Meats-Hold practically as
heretofore. The food administration
has modified the regulations regarding
meatless days so as to permit the use
of beef and mutton on Tuesdays in the
North Pacific states.
Lard and Cured Meats - Stabilized

ance in the market for cured meats.

Promise Grain Sack Relief.

Mr.. Houser received the following
telegram from the federal food ad-
ministration:
Control of grain bag situation is
now under consideration by the war
trade board, and we hope that some
thing definite and beneficial will be
accomplished soon. We are giving
the matter of burlap sacks our at
tention and hope to be ableto give
you definite information in the near
future"
After the meeting, and after having
had further communication with the
food administration at Washington
Mr.. HOuser said,
THE grain corporation, acting
! jointly with the federal food admin
istrator for Washington, Charles Heb
berd, desires to urge the farmers tC
bulk their grain. We realize the sit
uation as it exists at this time, anc
we wish to assure the farmers thai
everything will be done to see thai
the demand for sacks will be met il
possible, and at fair prices. This as
surance, however, should not cause
any letup in the movement to provide
bulk facilities wherever possible"

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

Placing the conduct of retail bust
ness upon a wartime basis is one of
the features of the present situation.
While there is a general inclination
towards cheerful compliance with the
requirements of shorter hours, short
er credits and restricted service asked,
it will require some time to- secure the
complete observance of tn new regu-
lations and to make readjustments in
cident to the changes involved.

Adjust Grading TangIe.
Mr.. Houser expressed himself as
certain the situation would clear up
and urged that the largest possible
acreage be seeded this spring.
"The 50 price for wheat the coming
year should be understood to be a
minimum" he said. THE farmer
will get that, if not more. 1t will de
pend on conditions. The coming year
the grain corporation will be in bet
ter position to handle the wheat than
last. We are working on some of the
problems now. One thing which caus.
ed complaint last year was the split
between the different grades OF
wheat. l can say that this will be
equalized the coming year. One
thing that we will equalize, l am sure
is that 57-pound wheat, which is only
one pound under No. 2, will be given
a little better recognition than No. 3
This caused considerable trouble last
year."

Wire Northwest congressman to
Spur Government to Act-Sit-
uation Critical This Fall.

Voicing the wishes of the 500 grain
growers, handlers and business men
who attended the matchmaking con-
ference at Spokane last week, a tele-
gram was sent to the delegations in
congress from the three northwest
states, asking that the government do
everything possible to relieve the
grain sack shortage and the scarcity
of labor.
The meeting adjourned after a two
days session. While the idea pre-
vailed in some quarters that it was
to be aconference to urge the han
ding of grain in bulk only, this was
fdispelled early in the program. The
conference adopted the policy of hear.
ing from all concerned so as to learn
actual conditions. The gathering was
entirely harmonious and those in at
tendance declared it was the largest
farmers meeting ever held in Spo
kane.
The conference resulted in making
it plain that more than eve rthe far
mers would handle grain in bulk
this year, but that the greater part
still would have to be sacked. The
fear that there would not be enough
sacks to save the crop was dis
pelled

Cabba~e and Patriotism.

To eat cabbage is not plebeian, 1t
is patriotic. Cabbage is grown in
back yards in all parts of the United
States. and if it is made an important
part of the vegetable diet it replaces
shipped-in foods which require trans
p0rtatiOn space.
The United States Food Administra-
ton advises the use of homegrown
vegetables not only as matter Of
saving shipping space, but as saving
of food which cannot be sent abroad.
The following recipes may add to the
list Of usual ways Of preparing cab
bage:
Slice cabbage and soak in cold
water. Put one quart Of cabbage in
a stewpan with two tablesp00nsful of
butter or butter substitute, One-half
teaspoOnful Of salt. one Tablespoonful
Of finely chopped onion, few gratings
of nutmeg, and few grains Of cayen-
ne. Cover and cook until cabbage is
tender. Add two tablespoonful of
vinegar and cook five minutes.
Select small, heavy cabbage, take
off outside leaves. and cut in quarters
Slice very thinly with sharp knife.
Soak in cold water until crisp, dsain
dry between towels, and mix with
cream salad dressing.
