Are storaaes overstocked?

s. However, we are told that storage
stocks of certain commodities are at
the present above the normal as COM
pared with this time last year. 1t has
been computed that the combined eX.
cess of a number Of important foods
in cold and dry storage amount to 1G
per cent. While on the face of it this
looks like undue boarding of reserves,
yet it must be remembered that com
parsons with last year are altogether
misleading. Demands for a great
number of commodities have increased
tremendously. Our exports for June
were double what they were a year
ago, and 40 per cent OF these exports
were fOodstuffs.
Moreover, our reserves last year
were inadequate. Those who recall
some of the extraordinary prices of
certain foods last winter and spring
know precisely what 1t means to have
too small holdings In storage. That
we are better prepared for next winter
than we were for last should not be
used as the basis Of a wholesale con
demnation Of our methods Of providing
for our future wants.

WINTER SHGnTAGE:
Some Facts About Cold Storage
and the Charges Of 54ani2ula-

Once again the subject OF cold stor-
age has come into the limaIi%ht of PUB.

ton with the nationwide search after
the cause for the high cost Of living.
There can be no argument in behalf
of boarding and holding back food sup
plies for speculative profits. But this
is a matter quite apart from the true
and legitimate purpose of cold stor-
age; and, unfortunately, because of
the much agitation and damaging pub
licity that have conferred about the
subject from time to time, the real
service performing function of cold
storage has been largely obscured.
Laying In Winter Stocks.
City-wise people, and even country
wise people, have long since forgotten,
amidst the conveniences Of modern
life, that there was time in the his
tory Of our country when laying in a
winters stock" devolYed upon each
household individually. Today, .One
does not even need to remember that
eggs are not an all-year-around prod
uct; that butter is produced in scant
amount in the winter, and cheese like

surprised to know that even meat pro-
duction has it's seasons of scarcity.
The buyer for the household in these
dayS simply goes to the store anV daV

and similar commodities on the mar
