E DIT O RI L
no CONSERVE TRANSPORTATION

"A. d. Wilson, the federal food administrator Of Mime
sofa, returns from Washington with the report to the Twin
city newspapers that the national food administration will
undertake to apply the principle OF conservation to transpor-
tation. The particular method by which this is to be brought
about is through the encouragement Of "a system Of buying
home products. That is to say, by advising and encouraging
the consumers to buy foodstuffs Of the home manufacturer
and of the home growing interests, so far as feasible, and thus
save transporting the goods to the market centers and back
again.
The idea is splendid. Take, for instance, flour. What
d grand thing it would be if every Watertown household would
nsesonly the flour made by the Stokes Milling Company! 1t
goes without saying that many a carload Of outside flour is
consumed right under the nose Of one of the biggest institu-
tons in the northwest. outside of the Twin Cities.
Again, Watertown has a packing plant which has but
recently begun to operate, following the process of rcorganiza-
tion. Why pay freight on livestock to the livestock market
centers, there to have it converted into an edible form, and
then pay freight on the carcass back to Watertown?
But that is exactly what we have been doing for years,
and what we shall continue to do unless we change our sys-
tenn of meat distribution.
This principle could be applied to various phases and
features of our system of distribution. We are shipping
trainloads OF %foodstuffs to eastern centers, where it is con-
yerted into another form, and returned to us, with freight
charges for both directions added. Every city and hamlet
having a local manufacturing plant could conserve transpor-
tation by buying the home product.
But one OF the factors that has operated to the aisad-
vantage ct tle buy-at-home slogan relates to the system we
have mentiohed-tle system of distribution. Most assuredly
the public should not be expected to pay freight on goods
that are never shipped. Take sugar as an example. Some
years ago the editor of the Daily News resided in Colorado,
almost d stones throw Of one Of the largest sugar factories
sin tlesWest. And yet the wholesale price Of sugar in the town
Al which the factory was located was the New York wholesale
market plus the freight from New York to Grand junction,
Colo where the factory was established.
All the national food administration, ill its efforts to CON
Serve with respect to transportation, succeeds in eliminating
nnly aSportion Of this unWarranted charge against the CONSUME
serssi Y will accomplish something worthy of comnendation.
We suggest that the people Of ,Watertown, at the earliest
oppoltunity within reason, begin TO cooperate with the ma
sflonals food administration by buying Watertown-inade -four.
Flour, be y remembered, is not soldson the basis Of the New
York market plus the freight from New York to WatertowrL
