The crop can not be carried over. It
must be consumed or wasted. The
food situation throughout the world
demands that it be consumed effective
ly to relieve the existing strain on the
supply of cereals. It is the one great
food resource of the world upon which
there is now danger of a heavy loss
and the Department is of the opinion
that the situation demands that farm
ers sell freely; that the larger dealers
move their stocks rapidly; and that the
retailer content himself with the small
est possible margin Of profit, realiz-
ing that he is now the most important
factor in speeding up potato consump-
ton.
