HIGHER PRICE FOR

Increased Freight Rates to be Equal
lied to Prevent Loss Thereby
to Farmer Of Middle
West

WASHINGTON, June 20.-The food
administration says that the advance
of freight rates on June "a, will in
justice to the farmer, necessitate an
advance in the price of wheat at the
principal Mississippi valley and east
ern terminals of few cents bushel.
The advance will be worked out so
as to equalize, as far as may be pos
sible. the loss that the farmer would
otherwise incur through the increase
in rates Details of the rate advances
will probably not be known until June

a committee of traffic experts to con-

LIES
HINDER CANNING
Housewives Being Scared Into the
Wrongful Use Of Sugar and Into
Not Canning and Preserv-
ing Enough

Pro-German lies and erroneous
ideas about sugar supply are inter
fering with canning and preserving
by Iowa housewives, J. F. Deems
writes j. F. Elder, food administrator
for Lee county.
Mr.. Deems says information reaches
his office that sugar consumption in
Iowa has been increased largely re-
Gently because housewives fear that
they will not be able to get sugar
later in the year to complete their
canning and preserving operations,
and are buying enough sugar to COM
plete the operation now. Heretofore
many have put up certain kinds of
fruit without sweetening, putting in
the sugar when the time comes to use
the fruit, jar at a time.
Fearing now that they will not be
able to follow this. procedure later
they are putting in the sugar as they
go along. This fear is quite I'M
founded and the food administration
feels justified in urging housewives
to can without sweetening so far as
they are able, assuring them that
the supply Of sugar will be sufficient
to meet the demand as it arises.
There is another error which. is In
terfering with extended preserving
and canning in Iowa. 1t is based on
the pro-German story that the gov
eminent expects to take over pre-
serves and canned goods put up by
the housewives this summer. This lie
appears in many forms and in infinite
variety. 1t is absolutely without any
foundation whatever and the food ad
ministration denounces it without re-
serve. The government will not take
over any of the products OF the Iowa
housewives.
