MEXICO NEEDS
n. NJ. POTATOES
Efforts to Be Made to Move
Tubers From Sacramento
Towns to Juarez.

Efforts to secure permission for the
free expectation Of potatoes to Juarez
and northern Mexican markets will
be made by a special committee ap-
pointed Thursday afternoon at the
regular meeting of the FL Paso price
interpreting committee.
That there were many carloads Of
potatoes at Mountain Park and
Cloudcroft, n. NJ, in the Sacramento
mountains waiting to be shipped was
developed at the meeting. It was
claimed by W. S. Crombie that unless
steps were taken TO move the crop OF
potatoes soon there would be a loss.
Mexico, he stated, offered a good mar
ket, as the people needed food. Con-
sumers there use cheaper grades and
small potatoes.

Crombie, James A. Dick and ". II.

also read by Mr.. Dick.

:" Meatless days in the United
States have saved 14O, OO0.O OC
pounds Of beef in four months. the
food administration announced TO-DAY
During this period les, GOO, 600 pounds
OF beef were exported TO the allies, to-
gether with 400.OOO.OOO pounds of pork
products.
The figures were made public in a
statement explaining why the food ad-
ministration has heretofore refused
requests Of cattle and sheep growers
10 remove beef, mutton and lamb from
the conservation rules with regard to
meatless days Mutton and lamb are
not exported and the food admins
tration has removed the restriction on
its consumption in some Of the west
ern states. The restriction viii be
lifted soon IN many of the other states
IN which large numbers of sheep and
lambs are produced for meat. Food
administrator Hoover viii recommend
10 state administrators that the peO-
pie be permitted TO eat all the mutton
and lamb they want until after April
70. when the spring marketing season
is about at an end.
1T is desirable TO bear in mind"
said Mr. Hoover today. that the meat
less days are simply and solely for the
purpose Of enabling US to feed the al
lies by saving on our meat consump-
tion.
Our national consumption has in
creased at a faster rate than our pro-
duction and therefore, without the
meatiess days, we would not be in po-
sition to export even the pre-war av-
eraEe amounts.
Allied Ration Is Low.
THAT the exports are absolutely
vital needs no proof further than the
statement Of the ration at present in
force in Europe among the allies,
which has been reduced approx
mateiy to one pound Of meats Of all
Of the present American consumption
and il is today at so low figure as to
tend 10 diminish the morale and the
resistance Of the allies.
we are doing our best to increase
the amount Of exports and can do so
only by the rigid conservation on the
part Of the American people
Food Shortage in East.
The eastern part OF the United
States faces a food shortage likely to
continue for the next 60 days.
In making this disclosure, food ad-
Hoover declared that the
situation is the most critical in the
countrys history and that in many
Of the large consuming areas reserve I
food stocks are at the point OF ex-
Eaustion.
The whole blame is put by the food
on railroad congestion, /
which, ne says also has thrown the
food administration far behind in its |
program for feeding the allies. The

ers Hold Seed for
Profit.

Charging that dealers in red top
cane seed were holding 500 cars of
seed on which they would make an
approximate profit OF s1.000,OO0. Geo.
J. Roark. OF the Texas commercial
executives association. has written
the FL Paso chamber of commerce ask
ing if it would not be advisable to
begin a campaign to encourage the
planting of milo maize and kaffir corn
by farmers.
The red top cane seed was bought
from farmers at a price of from IL
to six cents per pound, it is claimed.
On present stocks in the hands of re-
tail merchants the price is Si1-5O to
S13 per 100. The wholesale price,
however, is now S11.75 per 100, and
it is predicted in the letter that a re-
tail price of from S13 to S14 will pre-
vail, even running as high as Sl5 in
some localities, due to freight rates.
At the estimated raise the aggre-
gate profits are estimated by Mr.
that milo maize and kaffir corn are
equally as good crops for fodder and
other feeding purposes, 1t is proposed
to start a campaign for raising these
crops instead of the red top cane
potatoes on November 1 which should
have been moved from the principal
producing centers and up TO the frs
of February we had moved about 2S,-
600 carloads while we should have
moved over $4,000 in this period. The
result is that potatoes are piled up
spelling in the producers hands, ana
the consuming centers have only been
supplied by virtue of the summer gar
dens and other stores carried over
from last year..

Count Ilya Tolstoy, son of the famous Russian author, and himself a man of mark and force in the world, recently made speech in the open forum of Detroit upon the future of Russia. He declared the fu- ture salvation of Russia lay in the recon struction of the industrial and agricultural classes. Tolstoy said that these Russian peasant-famers, when approached with the question of what kind of government they favored, invaribly replied that they did not know. All they wanted was to be let alone and have their land, be allowed to toll and reap the products of their toll. He said that the bolshevik represented only about 2 per cent of the population of Rus sia and he scored them heavily. They have nothing to lose" he said. They were nearing their end. Their rule has been worse than of the past despots, tor they multiplied despot and his cruelty and in- justice and inefficiency by thousands. When the famous Russian had proceeded thus far with his speech many of his audi ence hissed and jeered him and bothered him with questions Some red flags were waved. It was with difficulty that order could be restored When he had finished, speaking, Tolstoy strode down the aisle to the rear of the coliseum. Stopping for moment on the steps. he turned back to look at the excited and wildly talking audi ence he had left behind. He smiled. The meeting continues, he said, stroking his full gray beard. American bolshekiki? Per haps," he said in response to question. But these men are we'll fed, we'll paid and we'll clothed. Let them come to Russia. Let them face misery, starvation and mur- der. There is a man with fine fur coat. If someone snatched it off his back in the streets of Petrograd-if he had no re- course" Count Tolstoy shrugged his massive shoulders and turned away.
