In line with the potato outlook
information now available which
points to surplus of potatoes
this year leaders in the potato in
dustry Of the state have held two
meetings with the idea Of work
ing out some plan whereby part
of the low grade potatoes could be
prevented from going to market.
The situation the last year was one
I in which at least many No. rs
were sold at q loss because Of the
fact that many low grade potatoes
were put on to the market and Of
course the low grade potatoes were
sold at greater loss than were

pointed to meet again Tuesday
evening, August Goth to work out
some plan to present to a grade
conference which was called by Mr.
Barnes, State Supervisor Of Agri-
culture, Immediately following the
first meeting and to be held Sep
TENDER 10th. This committee me-
and the following general recon.
mendations were made.

FAMILY TROUBLES
LAID TO HOUSING
Lack of Privacy and Way to
I Escape Radio Cited
in Report.

President Hoover's Conference on
Home Building and Home Ownership
said today, upon completion of an ex-
haustive study Of more than 5000
American homes in 40 States, that
badly planned homes and inefficient
housing are responsible for many OF
the troubles of and much Of the i'm
pairment of family life in this country.
The finding Of this pioneering sur
vey, published as the tenth volume Of
the conference report, might be sum-
married, it was announced, in the SEN
tence, Dwellings are not planned for
the radio age any more than cities are
planned for the motor age"
The experience of the Homemaking
Committee in these typical urban and
rural dwellings scattered throughout the
country to discover causes of family
friction disclosed the following star
tlingly familiar situation:
Lack Of Room DepIored.
"Only a single living room for the
recreational activities of too many peo-
ple-children, parents and grandpar-
entS; no private place to read or rest
or play or entertain personal friends;
no chance to escape the radio; too
many people compete for single bath
room; no convenient closets nor cup
boards to store things"
Perhaps the commonest defect, the
Homemaking Committee believes, is the
lack of consideration for the needs OF
children to provide continuity of Sc
infir1a piec ond lOvQl-
ties" In adapting housing to the men,
tai needs of the occupants, the COM
mittee proved to its satisfaction that
better planning of houses could do
much without additional expense.
1t urges particularly that parents
realize the wisdom of making the child
feel that the house is partly his ito
plan for, work for and use" Applica-
t&n of principles of art to the plan
ming. decoration and furnishings OF
houses, it was explained, will contribute
much to the fine art Of living"
