HARClS OPPOSES
RESTRICTION OF
GRAIN EXCHANGES

Washington, Jan. 15.-Legisla-
tlon restricting speculative transac-
tions and hedging" in the grain
trade would upset the whole machin-
cry OF grain distribution and open
the way to domination by few
powerful interests. B. l.. Rargis,
president of the Kansas City board
of trade today told the house agri-
culture committee, which is consid-
ering legislation to regulate grain
exchanges.
Recent Quotations in the grain
market frequently charged to, specu-
lation, Mr.; Hargis declared, were
primarily due to "dislocated trans
portation SYSTEM Other causes of
depression in the market. he said,
were the heavy imports of Canadian
wheat; abnormally high profits TAX
en- by grain exporters because OF the
uspposed risk involved in European
sales at this time; restriction of
credit by the banks and successive
increases in the government crop
forecast
Amendments accepted today in
cluded; sugar s2.13 per hundred
pounds, until the retail price reach
es 10 cents pound; frozen meats
of all kinds 2 cents a pound; all
other meats 25 percent advalorem;
apples 20 cents box, tobacco. sum-
atra wrappers and filters $2.S5 per
pound; stemmed sumatra $3.50 per
pound; butter and cheese and their
substitutes cents pound instead
CT cents; cattle and sheep to be
used for breeding purposes were ex-
empted from the duty on imported
animals.
Attempts of several opponents of
the bill to load it down with amend
ments dealing with various subjects
were unsuccessful. Some members
of the committee however, said
they understood it was the plan of
some senators to reintroduce their
amendments when the measure was
taken up i'll the senate.

Stored Vegetables Provide

When Bryant wrote, THE melan-
choly days are come, the saddest in the
year. he inspired visions of barrenness
connected with the first autumn frosts
that are not justified if one knows how
to prepare his garden stuff for the win
ter. There is no reason why a garden
er who anticipates the cold weather
can not have vegetables with much of
the garden freshness for weeks and
even months after freezing time, if he
follows the instructions of the United
States Department of Agriculture. To
care for surplus vegetables in many
cases requires nothing more than the

Tomatoes for Six Weeks After Frost.
Tomato vines usually have large
quantity of unripened fruit when the
frosts come. 1t is customary to use
much Of this for pickles, but the frost
need not put all end to ripe tomatoes.
If the vines are pulled, or ii they are
cut and the ends sealed with paraffin or
sealing wax. they can be hung up i'll
cool cellar and the tomatoes will
ripen and often last for six weeks.
Another plan is to pick the tomatoes,
wrap them in papers. and place them
in shallow boxes or baskets.
Lima beans should be picked before
the frost and spread on slightly
