secretary of agriculture, to fix a parity
price Of each farm product; that lis, a
price at which the producer OF the
product would be placed on a parity
with the producer of manufactured
articles. For example. the secretary
of agriculture might declare 81 a
bushel to be the parity price of wheat
The object then would be to manipu-
late the price of wheat upward until
the desired parity price should be
reached.
In order to raise the prices of farm
products the secretary of agriculture
under the terms Of the bin would In
woke various devices. He might EN-
ploy the domestic allotment plan to
influence the prices OF one group of
commodities and the government land
leasing plan In the case OF another

Secretary Wallace insists that Ii
would not be a price fixing law for the
reason that no price would be fixed by
fat. Instead. a price would be declared
to aim at and the measures adopted
would be those judged most likely to
raise the price to the point desired

templated law are wheat. corn. cotton.

Tiedse give mushroom recipes,
writes a reader. II have been look
ing for some recipes but have not
found them"
In response. an authority on the
subject has this TO say.
1t is & treat to go to market and
find mushrooms, tender and white In
their baskets and to find them at
bargain prices, OF course we have
become used to good quality and
low prices for this de1ectable vege-
table, which used to be n luxury in
which only the woman with an en-.
larged pocketbook could indulge ex-
cept for special occasions, perhaps.
Fresh mushrooms used to be avail
able only In the late summer and
then only when 1t had been a rainy
season. We went out to the country
on mushroom hunts after a rain In
August or September. / found them
as late as November when fall
weather had been propitious. They
must be picked as early In the MORN
Ing as possible, as the sun cooks
their delicate buttons and "para-
sols' after they have picked their
way out OF the ground. OF course ]
never miss q chance to go mushroom
hunting now, although they are not
such a treat when we a go to the
market any day from early fall to
summer and buy the cultivated
mushrooms at such a low price.
Recipes In old cookbooks tell you
to skin but not wash mushrooms.
The very tender mushrooms of to-
day do not need to be skinned If
they are really fresh, so we wash
them instead. BY the way, a white
creamy color is usually the test of
fresh mushrooms but there Is a va
riety which has a light brown shade
and 1t will be as tender as the others
II fresh.
Mushrooms need the shortest pos
sible time Of cooking, whether they
are to be sauted In butter or cooked
In a very little water to combine
with other foods. My favorite way
Of cooking them Is to saute them on
both sides In butter, turning them
just as soon as they are brown. BY
that time, four or five minutes. they
are tender. Mefe butter MAY be
added Il they are to be served plain
on toast. II they are to be served

The President. In a published state
ment and also In a national broad
cast. detailed In simple language the
reasons for the national bank holiday
and the plans for opening. He was
careful to emphasize the point that
the time OF opening any bank was
determined by its relative condI-
lion, but By the ability of the officials
OF the Federal Reserve banks and of
the Treasury department to make the
proper check for the issuing OF licenses.
He explained that banks that were not
sound would not be permitted to open
except under government supervision
for the purpose of recognizing them.
The reopened banks were supplied
with a liberal allowance OF the new
currency based on bank assets, but in
practically no case was any of this
needed as the deposits exceeded the
Withdrawals. and In many cases the
currency was returned to the Fed
eral Reserve banks.
