One Great Law Is to Turn InedibIe

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Two facts stand out prominently as
reasons for the increased production
and use Of milk. The first is that
milk as purchased on the market
usually supplies food material togeth-
er with the growth-producing meat or
eggs. The second reason is that the
dairy COW is the most economical pro-
Queer of animal food. One great law
of food conservation is to turn m
edible feeds into edible foods in the
cheapest possible manner. The dairy
COW will utilize coarse materials. in
edible to humans-such as grass, corn
stalks, hay, etc.--and will turn them
into milk. Other farm animals also
are converters of coarse roughage into
edible foods but are not 70 efficient ~

FOOD NOTES.

| The Food Administration has ruled
tnat retailers, to comply with the new
| wheat flour rulings, may sell six
pounds of substitutes with a bag OF
flour weighing 241s pounds. This
avoids a complication of fractional
pounds necessitated by the exact four
to one proportion.
Use home grown and home manufac-
tured foods to the greatest possible ex-
tent. Save shipping space. Every
inch of shipping space today has a
military value.
Salt producers have decided to do
away with the many and various forms
of packages and sacks and confine
the packing of salt to about three
standard weights and packages. The
decision means great saving in paper,
cotton goods and metal containers.
An item of interest to dairymen is
the statement of an eastern dairy ex-
pert that the advent of prohibition in
any state has always been followed i'm
mediately by greatly increased con-
sumption of milk and buttermilk.
We have agreed to ship to the allies,
within the coming year, 09,320,0O0
bushels Of breadstuffs, 100,0O0,000
bushels of which may be cereals other
than wheat.
Mr.. Hoover made this statement last
week: "This year, I believe, we can
accomplish the necessary ends by the
voluntary action of our people. 1t is
necessary that every family in the
United States study its food budget
and study wisely to see if it cannot
buy less, serve less, return nothing to
the kitchen and practice the gospel of
the clean plate"

MARKETING BY PARCEL POST
Dian Outlined by Department Of AorI-
culture for Building Up Trade
and How to Keep It

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricu1ture.)
Parcel post as a means of transpor-
tation has been found by commercial
houses TO be useful and efficient. There
Is no reason why farmers cannot make
extensive use of it under certain condi-
tons if they will. 1t has been found
that one of the chief factors in pre-
venting the satisfactory development
Of parcel post marketing has been the
price asked by some farmers for prod
uce. To illustrate: One farmers wife
was receiving 20 cents pound for but
ter in her local market, a country
store. When asked if she would be
willing to ship it to city by parcel
post, and at what price, she replied
that she would do so at so cents a
pound. Would-he purchasers frequent
ly have been known to offer producers

WeII-Prepared, Attractive Parcel Post

| =
lower price than they can obtain in
their local markets. 1t is needless to
say that such imperfect and erroneous
ideas as to proper and equitable prices
altogether defeated the possibility of
marketing produce by parcel post.
Business in marketing by parcel post
can be secured and held only by ship
ping produce of high quality and by
charging reasonable prices.
The larger the quantity, within the
postal limits, that is shipped at any
one time, the more economical is the
| factor of postage and therefore the
more attractive from the viewpoint Of
cost both to the producer and to the
consumer. This applies both to ship
ments and the return of empty con-
tainers. 1t would not be economical to
secure half a dozen different kinds Of
vegetables from as many different pro-
ducers, but if supply of half dozen
kinds of vegetables, or vegetables and
fruits, could be obtained in one parcel
from one producer it would be both
advantageous and attractive.
Another advantage to the producer
in parcel post marketing is that his
mail box or local post Office becomes
his shipping station. This relieves him
from any extra trip in order to make
shipment, as the rural mail carrier
takes the shipment from the mail box
or some member of the farmers fam
lily deposits it at the post office when
going to call for the mail.
Many farmers often have a small
surplus of produce, not needed for
home consumption, which could be
marketed If some ready means of get
ting 1t to a consumer were available.
The parcel post supplies this medium.
There are also many supplemental or
side lines of production which could
be developed for the same purpose.
Mutual confidence and helpfulness
are needed in order to succeed; coop
GRAFTON is needed. Consumers are in
when they can secure more satisfac-
tory produce, some advantage in price,
or both. The producer will not be in
terested in marketing by parcel post
unless it means some additional net
return to him. A high quality of prod
uce, well prepared, carefully and at
packed, and forwarded so as
to reach its destination at the time de-
sired will 60 long way toward the es-
and continuance of bust
ness. Ordinary or inferior produce will
not only lose customer but hinder the
gaining of others. The producer must
aim to give satisfaction by supplying
MS customers, as nearly as possible,
with produce which meets their indi-
vidual desires. The consumer must
also aim to give satisfaction by proper
y caring for and returning containers,
making prompt remittances as agreed
Upon and by doing his part in all
phases of the transaction. In other
words, a square deal is needed.

Some manufacturers and dealers

fresh butter, on account of the adj

This is a clear violation of Food AID

CHECKING UP FUEL SUPPLY.

It is time to check up your fuel sup ply for the winter.
 Have you needed the warnings that have been given you during the sum mer by the Fuel Administration.
 Dr. Garfield and his representatives in the State and County have long been advising you to prepare for the winter, that you might not be forced to seek in,vain for coal when the severe weather comes next winter.
 The public has been advised, week after week, that unless an adequate supply of fuel were laid in during the summer and early fall, those who fail ed to do so might not be able to get any coal when they needed it most.
 They have been advised to lay in supply of wood in the timbered districts, as the natural fuel for such localities because they might expect no consideration at the hands of the Fuel Administratio should they con- tinue improvident.
 Domestic and industrial consumers have responded most periodically to tha call of the Government for coop eration in this respect as in all others and Arkansas has just cause to be proud of what has been accomplished here.
 But it is not done yet
 There must be no wastage of fuel, so necessary for the prosecution of the war.
 Wood, of which there is so plentiful supply in Arkansas, must be used in preference to coal wherever possible.
 Sufficient coal must be provided in advance, without unnecessary hoard ing, to carry you through the winter.
 Industrial plants must use slack wherever possible, and will perform patriotic duty if they make special arrangements to use anthracite slack.
 Continue to save coal-don't waste

 Some officers here think the Ger mans figure that surrender of the Belgian coast line will draw the French and Belgian armies in that direction, thus easing the strain against the Lille triangle of towns along enough to permit them to car " out a withdrawal.

men and women grouped as follows:
 Class A-from $9 to SIP: class B. from $6 to $50, and class C--from $3 to $3.50.
 Proportionate prices for youths and childrens shoes have been fixed in each of the three classes.
 The war industries board will check up on the quality of the shoes sold at each price by means of a class number stamped in each shoe. Policing, officials explained, will be
 done by the various state councils of defense, and where the public is in doubt as to what quality it is getting according to the price sche- dule, complaint may be made and the cost of manufacture traced. While it is possible to purchase a shoe for $3 now, under the new sche-
 dule the shoe at that price will be
 of higher, grade.
 Officials also said that it will be
 possible to buy better quality shoes throughout the three classes at less money than at present. Shoes now retailing for as high as
 $20, they say, will retail for the maximum price of SIP and be of at least equal quality.
 Manufacturers, iobbers and retail CTS subscribed to the agreement and retailers will be required to sign a pledge containing the new price
 scale and display it in their shops. Failure to do so will mean the cut ting off of supplies. The manufacturers pledge provid-
 es for standard of quality at the quoted prices.
 The cutting of shoes under the new schedule will begin Oct 18th, and it is said first deliveries will be ! made within thirty to sixty days af- l ter that date.
