New Sugar Sales

losses thru Submarine attack
there is a further shortage for
sugar and dealers from this
fine on must not sell to- town
families more than two pounds
at a time and to people in the
country not more than five
pounds at any one time. This
rule does not modify the 25
pound privilege for canning and
preserving.
Flour Permits to Threshing
Crews
The county Food Adminlstra-
tor has the right to issue flour
permits, the flour to be used by
threshing crews. 1t will be
necessary for threshermen who
expect TO handle crew TO ad-
wise me of the number of men to
be used and the county Food
Administer can issue a permit in
proportion to the number of per-
sons in the crew and in amounts
sufficient for a Is days supply.
fhreshermen should make ap-
plication at once if they are ex-
pecting to run full crews.
Fumigate Grain Bins
1t is natural that since wheat
is sure to be the same price the
day it is threshed as it is at the
end of the year every farmer
who can will be more than anxi-
GUS to sell his wheat at the earl
lest possible time.
On account of car shortage
and lack of elevator space many
of US will have to hold our wheat
or at least a part of it. If this
wheat is put in bins infested
with weevil we are liable to sus-
stain a considerable loss. To
prevent this, all graineries and
wheat bins should be thorough.
ly cleaned, disinfected and pos
sibly fumigated. If fumigation
seems to be necessary the bin or
building should be made tight
and bi-sulfide or carbon used as
a fumigant. Shelves should be
placed near the top of the room
and the bi-sulfide put in shallow
dishes that it may evaporate
rapidly, and the gas being
heavier than air falls gradually
to the floor. The bin or build
ing should be kept tight for one
or two days to retain the gas.
just as explosive as gasoline and
it is a deadly poison, so in its
use fire must be kept away and
before entering a room filled
with gas the doors and windows
should be thrown open to allow
the gas to first escape.
Rotten Eggs
From the first of July we can't
sell any more rotten eggs. Every
dealer in eggs is required to
to have a license by that time
and one of the requirements will
be to candle. This is something
that should have been done
years ago because every bad egg
injuries the price of a good egg.
Seed Wheat
Al report comes to me that in
many sections of the state the
seed wheat situation is that
smut is very extensive. Steps
have been taken to advise farm
ers of the situation and they
will 90 doubt need considerable
seed from grain fields for the
fall sowing. A pretty thorough
investigation of this county has
been made, and while we have
found some fields that are very
bad indeed, there have been but
a few of such, the greater ma
jority of them being exception
ally free from serious trouble.

TAKES
STEPS TOCURB
FOOD GOUGER
Price Determining Boards
to Fix Uniform
Rates.

Taking the first definite step to stop
profiteering in food INDUCED in by
retail stores, the Food Administration
yesterday announced a system Of
limiting prices in these establishments
throughout the country.
Congress failing to give the Food
Administration a grip on the retailers,
Herbert C. Hoover, the administra-
tor has evolved a scheme which he
thinks will bring about the demanded
restrictions.
Fair price lists" will be made up
by a price determining board. They
will be posted in every city. town
and hamlet to give the consumer a
real idea of what he should pay for
his food. Efforts will be made to
bring prices to a uniform level.
Consumers Asked to Aid.
Consumers are asked to act in the
nature of inspectors. They are re-
quested to report to their food ad-
ministrator any store charging more
than the announced prices. Jnvesti-
cations will be made Immediately and
the Food Administration will use its
own methods in separating the
patriot from the protiteer. Without
legislative amendments, the admin
istration now may exercise only an
indirect control over the retail stores
by ordering the wholesale dealers to
cut OFF their supplies.
The Food Administration will ap-
point price interpreting committees or
boards in every community, composed
of representatives of wholesalers. re-
tailers and consumers. These boards
will ascertain fair retail prices on the
basic commodities that comprise a
large part of the peoples diet. The
published lists will give the range Of
maximum selling prices, showing a
reasonably low price which will re-
fleet charges that should rule in "cash
and carry" stores. and high price.
representing a fair charge at credit
and delivery" shops.
Tradesmen ON Boards.
Tradesmen Oh the boards will be APP
pointed by the trades and will serve
with n representative of the consum-
ing interests, the local food admins
traitor acting as chairman. Each
board will have detailed reports of
actual wholesale prices. and will as
certain fair margins of profit that
should be made by the retailer.
