SUBSTITUTE RICE FOR
COSTLY POTATOES

That the use of rice for potatoes,
substitution already made by many
thrifty housewives, could be even
more widely adopted with profit, is
a suggestion of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, prompted
by the present high prices of pota-
toes. The departments food special
lists point out that potatoes are ap-
proximately four-fifths water and
one-fifth food material, whereas in
rice, as well as in most other grains,
the proportions are practically re-
versed. Under normal conditions the
prices of these two commodities usual
ly are such as to somewhere nearly
equalize the two from the standpoint
of food cost.
Recently, however, potatoes have
sold from 81 to $1.50 per peck, which
means about to 10 cents pound,
whereas rice has retailed at Is to II
cents a pound. So long as the price
of the two foods is substantially in
this relationship, it is obvious from a
comparison of their food content that
given sum of money can be spent
much more economically for rice than
for potatoes.
The estimated production of rice in
this country for the past year was
Al 100000 bushels, an increase Of
nearly 100000 over 1918. While
some export business in rice has begun
to develop, the supplies for domestic
consumption are considered sufficient
to meet growing demand.

NO RELIEF SEEN FOR
HOUSE SHORTAGE

When will the supply of houses
catch up with the increase in popu-
lation?
Nobody seems to know.
It is known that from the increase
in population alone 5000, 900 are jam
med into houses where they should
not be.
It is further known that not more
than 10000 houses were built in 1918,
when the normal building program to
keep up with the establishing of new
families would call for 409,534. This
estimate is based on figures obtained
from the United States Housing Cor
poration, which had control of all
building during the war.
Building Slackened.
After the armistice building was re-
sumed for a while with vim, but two
months ago it slackened up again.
Architects say the builders had no
way of knowing that they could COM
plete their structures before labor and
material advanced, and they were un-
certain as to whether there would be
a decline in prices little later on.
The kind of flooring that used to
retail for $22 per hundred feet is now
selling wholesale f. o. b. at the mill,
4 for from $50 to 500, and in the retail
yards it sells for $1O5. The United
States Housing Corporation estimates
that the increase in the cost of ma.
terial has been from 70 to rs per cent
so if the same amount of money was
spent annually now for housing, as
was speEt before the war, it woulc
produce half the number of dwellings
| Increase in Population
The increase in the population al
it relates to the housing problem ha
nothing to do with the babies born
the last two or three years. The one
who established the new fam1lie
were born from 20 to 80 years ago.
| The theory was advanced at tn
Bureau of Census that 20 to 80 year
hence fewer homes might be estab
lished, thus enabling the country t
catch up with housing, but it was 500
1 shattered.
'Indeed not" said Chief Statisti
clan Hunt, who makes the figures O.
population. "More babies are bor
1 during and after war than in norma
times. That has been the experienc
l of all wars. In 20 or 80 years fror
l now we will need more than the MOI
s NAL supply of homes. And the wa
\ stimulated the creation of familie
This census will show an excess Q
s 25, 100000 families, an increase of 2
4 per cent over 1910"
ii Shortage for Ten Years.
ri The United States has not had MOI
/ houses than the people could use
j the last ten years and R. A. Culloc
Z custodian of the United States Hou
ing Corporation, said the shortae
j was noticed in 1913. From the mil
Z die of 1913 to August, 1914, when tt
- ~ war started there was little buildir
% ON account of a general lack of pro
&c perity. With the prosperity brougl
&c on by the war in Europe dema1
SC for houses was created, but the d
&c mand didn't catch up with the su
&c ply. The acute condition dates fro
the time the war industries boa:
stopped building. At this time n
