USE MILK AND CREAM
and SAVE HERDS URGES
STATE FOOD OFFICIAL

The necessity for preserving intact
the dairy herds Of Colorado was reiter
~ated by Clarence Adams. head of the
Poultry. Eggs and Dairy Products divi-
sion Of the United States Food Admin.
istration in an interview . short time
ago. =
THE need Of saving butter and milk
has passed. and unless the public real.
ixe that they must use these excellent
foods to replace some of the staples,
such az the wheat ind sugar they have
been asked to save, the farmers are
going to sell their valuable dairy cows
for beef and the country will be swept
Of its herds" Chairman Adams de-
clared.
"At the time Of serious curtailment Of
the sugar supplies, manufacturers of
ice cream have been given practically
because this IL one of the forms In
which milk is most readily marketed.
A demand for milk, cream and butter
must be greatly stimulated II the Food
Administration is to be able to prevent
the relatively high price Of beef from
tempting farmers. who are making
very little off Of their herds at this
time. from sending them to market as
beef cattle"
Make milk and butter and eggs take
the place Of the products which the
United States must ship overseas to
American soldiers and to the soldiers
Of the allies.

icARELEsSNESS DELAYS
SUGAR CERTIFICATES,
DECLARES FOOD CHIEF

j Improper statements, failure to give
addresses. and mis-sent information
have been at the bottom Of much of
the discomfort experienced by consum-
ers of sugar during the past few weeks
according to statement Issued by the
United States Food Administration re.
Gently.
while some Of the errors in issu-
ing sugar certificates have been traced
to this office, large per cent OF them
have been made by retail dealers" ex-
planned Robert j. Grant, executive
manager of the Food Administration.
I'VE try in every way to make all rul-
ings and regulations as easy as posi-
BILE for the people, but we know that
in this particular instance the careless
ness of some dealer has worked hard
ships upon consumers-particular
those In rural communities who were
unable to purchase sugar, and we are
sorry"
Twenty-seven clerks and stenogra-
piers have worked increasingly since
the last week in July in an effort to
get the sugar certificates out in good
time. 1t is easy to understand, how
ever, how delays occur. when hun
dreds of statements came into the Den.
yer office with no address; and dozens
OF other statements were sent to
Washington and had to be returned be-
fore they could be cared for.
Criticism is easy, but 1t is the fair
thing to consider that not all of the
mistakes which are made are made by
the Food Administration staff" smiled
the executive manager.

DO SUCH Live HERE?

Human nature is very strange. The
way some women are wailing over the
new sugar regulations is pitiful. To
some of them, 1t seems. a crate Of
fruit is more than all the starving
millions Of Europe. They are the
abused race over the new canning reg.
ulations. and anyone who talked to
them about the Hoover regulations a
year ago and knew Of the scorn with
which any suggestions of curtailment
were met can realize how hurt they
are with the enforced denial. This IL
only lack of vision. Women whose
men are at war accept the regulations
with cheerfulness; they do not weep
over the loss in fruit, or the difficulty
OF canning without sugar. They have
other losses to think Of. Tlfey know
that doing without few pounds Of
sugar fs an easy matter compared to
their greater sacrifice. ."--spokesman-
