FISH PRICE IN D. c.
Administrator Wilson Has Al
ready Ordered Reduction
in New Potatoes.
KEEPING WATCH ON FRUIT

District Food Administrator Wilson
is more determined than ever to bring
down the retail price of fish In Wash
ington, and to institute a more exten-
sive use of fish as means of further
conserving foods containing wheat
flour.
A more extensive use of all perish
able foods is to be advocated by Mr..
Wilson. Following instructions from
Food Administrator Hoover. he is to
start a campaign to encourage a wild
er use of fish and other perishables.
It is explained that varying condi-
tions and irregular distribution of
crops make it impracticable to con-
duct national campaign, but local
administrators are expected by Mr..
Hoover to follow local conditions in
urging their communities to use all
perishables to the fullest extent
Orders Potato Prices Cut.
In this connection Mr.. Wilson will
devote considerable attention to po-
tatoes. Already he has ordered a re-
duction in the price of new potatoes,
although the market is none too plen-
III vi, anu HC ckptCtS 10 UIlnb dDouI
a further reduction in the retail price
within the next week or SO. He has
been furnished with prices Of potatoes
and other foodstuffs from number
of large cities through the country.
and in every instance the prices in
Washington are higher on a majority
Of the articles.
Mr.. Wilson proposes to watch. close
ly the fruit and berry market. He is
anxious for the people of Washington
to be accorded prices on these season.
able articles which will result in an
increased consumption. The rural
motor express Is operating between
Washington and nearby counties in
Maryland and Virginia in a successful
manner. and because Of it Mr.. Wilson
has no fear of vegetable and fruit
shortage here during the summer
months.
To Meet Fish Dealers.
Before taking any definite action in
the fish situation. which Mr.. Wilson
admits is far from satisfactory. he
will confer with the representative
wholesale and retail fish dealers of
the city next Wednesday night In
his Office at 18th and 1 streets He
expects to have one or more Of the
Food Administration on hand to offer
information and to advise him in decid-
ing upon what course to take here.
Mr.. Wilson explains that he is anxi-
GUS to be fair to the fish dealers
and wants them to have a reasonable
profit. but he will not tolerate profits
such as are said to be coming to
them now at the expense of the buy
ing public Of this city. and also to
the detriment OF the policies of the
United States Food Administration
in advocating a wider use of fish as
a conservation measure.
