Why England Eats Tomatoes
 The tomato plant in the British Islands is not at It's best; in fact is not much grown in comparison to the United States. The climate is unsuitable but quantities are grown in green houses to supply those able to pay the price out of season. Notwithstanding the eli, matic difficulties in England. the English public are large consumers of fresh tomatoes imported from her South African possessions. There are certain sections now producing enor- nous quantities and so cheaply that the poorest people in England may have their fresh tomatoes in season just as freely and cheaply as the American. The universal demand in England and the large consumption was brought about by an adver- Using campaign promoted by the British press.
 Why can't the southern sweet po- tato growers get together and launch some such national campaign as Eat More Sweet Potatoes" The American press would help and every one be benefited. There Is nothing like advertising to create an interest and demand for anything. It is my belief that the farmers could use printers ink to great profit.

particular individual at the proposed
international conference Of banks Of
issue AT London was not discussed at
the meeting, it was stated authorita-
lively, because no formal invitation
had yet been received.
Tho board, however, was understood
to have considered the possibility of
American participation and to have
formed the opinion that the activities
of It's representatives would be CON
fined to discussion Of proposals with
the foreign banks without entering
INTO any consortium or agreement for
efoctlng the rehabilitation Of Europe.
The board, it was understood, took
the position that the limitations i'm
posed by law would restrict the actvi-
ties of It's representatives to lending
their advice, while the best aid which
could be afforded the European nations
would be for the Reserve system to
maintain strong position, making
possible the absorption Of foreign

of Europe have taken the steps neces-
sary for rendering their credit usable
