The prescribed limit Of retail

Commercial Gamers in every

The new regulation which per-
mits Gamers to carry a seasons

the latitude to manufacturers Of
less essential foodstuffs.
This step is necessary, an

order TO make sure that home
Gamers may obtain sufficient
sugar to preserve perishable
fruits and at the same time to
place a check upon those who
would endeavor to obtain unreal

consumption will be exercised
through the retailers-consider-
ed a much more satisfactory
method than the card system
adopted in other countries

Administration 1Or leAaS III Sc
curing the transportation and
marketing Of the Irish potato
crop of the Colorado and Brazos
valleys. The selection Of a COM
mittee to handle this valuable
Texas crop grew out Of two
meetings held April "a by Ad-
ministrator Peden at Wharton
and Eagle Lake. The Wharton
meeting Of potato growers with
rs per cent present was held at
3 o'clock, and the Eagle Lake
meeting with the same number
present at $3.50 Wednesday
evening.
Wharton's section Of the com.
mittee has A. A. Mullin as chair
man; j. w. Burns, Eagle Lake
w. L. Rogers, Wharton, all po-
tato growers; H. A. Brightwell,
representing the Southern Paci.
fic transportation department.
and II. w. Mott, representing the
Santa Fe. Mr.. Mott will serve
as secretary.
Eagle Lakes section Of the
committee consists of /. L. Ter
rell, Fritz Engelhard, Fred Will
len, potato growers; F. Stoldt,
representing the Santa Fe trans
portation department, and a
fifth railroad representative
later to be named. The person
mel Of the section of five from
Simonton will be announced
later.
Administrator Peden an
nounced TO the potato growers
that he would be in better posi-
ton to handle all problems Of
perishables from now on than
ever before, as he has secured
the voluntary services Of Chas.
l.. DIESEL, Of the firm Of DIESEL
Boettcher Company, Houston, to
become director of perishables,
the appointment effective Fri
day, April rs. The administra-
tor was accompanied by E. W.
Coles Of the bureau of markets
Sam H. Dixon, director of farm
ing for the Federal Food Admin
istration, and R. G. McElree, d.
rector Of transportation.
One of the first suggestions
made by the administrator to
the potato growers was that
they establish a definite organ
ization so as to centralize the
problems of marketing and dis
tribution and as a result Of this
suggestion the committee Of 10
was recommended.
Representatives of the South
ern Pacific, Santa Fe, the San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass, and
the Gulf Coast lines were pres
emit at the two conferences and
agreed to render every assist
ance possible. The Santa Fe rep
resentative said he would ar
range for stock cars to handle
the potatoes going to market
over his line and requested the
committee TO advise as soon as
possible the number Of cars
which they would require during
the season.
It was agreed that the COM
mittee would put in orders for
cars as needed and only order
from day to day so as to have no
waste of equipment and trans
portation facilities.
Mr.. Peden discussed with the
growers at both Wharton and
Eagle Lake the matter of fair
prices, in order that the Texas
potato might be placed on the
market to compete with the old
potatoes shipped in from distant
markets and the growers agreed
to fix a price that would be in.

able the growers to sell in close
