tions to be issued.
Dealers in some fertilizer ingredients, in
Guiding ammonia and it's compounds, al
ready are under license by the food ad-

proclamation. Among the ingredients not
already under license and now put under
control are sulphuric acid. phosphate rock
bones. sodium nitrate, potash, salts, cement
and blast furnace dust, wood ashes cot

Army and Navy Have First
Call on Corn Peas and
Other Vegetables.

Canned corn, peas, tomatoes. string
beans and salmon may soon be classed
among the luxuries-even among the
unobtainable foodstuffs. Huge guam
titles of them are wanted for the Army
and Navy, and there will be no future
distribution from the canneries until
after the governments needs have been
supplied.
The United States Food Administra-
ton today sent out notice to all can
ners to report at once the quantities
of these products they have on hand,
and to hold their stocks for war pur-
poses until further notice. The re-
ports are to be made to the division
of coordination of purchase of the

NThe reason for requiring the can

ton to make a quick survey of canned

TRUCK LINE DELIVERY OF FOOD
FROM FARM TO D. C.. FILMED

Methods by which Washington re-
ceives that portion of her food sup
ply from adjacent territory were made
the subjects of motion picture reels
taken in the last few days under the
auspices Of the highway transport COM
mittee, Council of National Defense.
This committee has been studying
the problem of supplying Washington
with larger amounts of food from farms
in Maryland and Virginia, and the in
vestigation has pointed to a larger util-
ization of automobile freight truck
lines running out of this city into
those states.
Monday R. c. Hargreaves, secretary of
the committee, went with motion picture
photographers into Maryland, and there
supervised the taking of reels which will
be offered to the committee on public in
formation, and also will be shown to field
agents of the food administration.
1.-THE tour We made Monday showed
conclusively how much more perishable
feed the citys fast-growing population
were the>rural express service developed
here, as it already has begun to be de-
veloped in Baltimore, for example," Mr.
Hargreaves said.
Milk Trucks Snapped.
The photographers took pictures of
trucks taking milk from farms along
the line from Redland to Olney, and one
picture shows the loading of a three
gallon can of cream for which the
farmer received $3.50 and paid 10 cents
for carriage to Washington.
Pictures of another truck running
from Olney to Washington show calves,
tagged and addressed to Washington
butchers, being taken aboard the truck
at Olney. and consignments of corn and
other products gathered along the road.
Pictures were made of the delivery of
the milk to dealers in Washington. and
of the trucks being loaded with mer-
chandise, groceries and farm supplies
at Washington stores to be taken back
to the farmers in the return trips of
the trucks.
In contrast to these. pictures were
taken along the road of the older type
