THE POTATO LAW IS HERE

We have now come into the era of
regimented potatoes. December l was
the date and it won't be long now until
we will be buying and eating stamped
spuds. Not taxed potatoes, perhaps,
because only those are to be taxed
which are raised beyond the limit set
by Papa Wallace. Those which are
raised within the quota will bear tax
exemption stamps. These will be the
sizs of ordinary postage stamps, gray
in color and printed in weight denomi-
nations of from two to fifty pounds, to
be used in accordance with the size of
the potato container. The stamps for
potatoes on which taxes are paid be-
cause the tubers are raised outside the
quota will be about the size of special
delivery stamps. SO you ought to know,
by the size of the stamp, whether you
are buying regimented or "horse and
buggy" potatoes. The word buggy" is
used advisedly, and with no reference
to insects.
In order that your memory may be
refreshed as to how the new potato law
which is designed to raise the price of
the tubers as we'll as to fix the number
which potato grower may raise, the
following is quoted from a recent ad-
dress of Representative Wadsworth, of
New York, a statesman who knows
his potatoes" as well as his onions, and
who says of the potato legislation:
'That remarkable statute which pro-
vides in effect that no farmer in the
United States may raise and sell more
than five bushels Of potatoes per year
without the permission of the govern
ment; that if he sells more than the
amount allotted to him without paying
the prohibitive tax, he may be fined
and upon the second offense, sent to
jail; that the person who purchases IL
legal potatoes may also be fined and
sent to jail; and finally, that the person
who has knowledge of an illicit sale
and purchase and fails to act as the
governments 'snooper' in reporting
the violation may also be punished"
Of course, there is much history be-
hind the potato control act. There are
folks who are unkind enough to blame
the AAA for the over production of po-
tatoes. They charge that when the
Southern farmers cut down their cot
ton production the AAA experts advis-
ed them to- raise potatoes on the idle
land. Thus in the end potato regimen
tation was made necessary. Where reg
imentation will strike next time it is
impossible to say until we learn what
the AAA experts advise the potato
farmers to raise on the land made idle
by potato curtailment.
1t begins to look like agricultural

IS MEN TO CHECK
WTAM|NS IN FOODS
U. S. to See How Many Are
in Substances Claimed
to Contain Them.
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Government has singled out Is
men to check vitamins and measure
glandular preparations against stand
ards that have not yet been set.
The men selected by w. G. Camp
bell, chief of the Food and Drug Ad-
ministration, will see how many
vitamins are in foods that are ad-
vertised to contain them, and what
effect others might have on glands
they are supposed to strengthen.
Dr. E. M. Nelson, formerly associate
chemist in the Bureau of Chemistry
and Soils, will head the new vitamin
division. DR.. Erwin E Nelson, formerly
of the University of Michigan, was
named to head the other.
Campbell said the vitarin field has
been widely exploited because of the
undoubted popular appeal of the
much to foods
The new divisions will employ meth
DDS of checking similar to those the
administration has used for many
years. Samples of the goods moving
in interstate commerce will be taken
by inspectors at scattered points over
the country and forwarded to Wash
lngton for analysis.
In cases where the products do not
meet the official standards, some of
which are yet to be established,
prosecutions will be begun through
the Department of Justice against the
offending companies for violation of
the food and drugs act.
Many of the products to undergo
examination can be checked only by
feeding them to experimental animals.
In addition to this work, the
pharmacologica division Nelson will
head also will investigate the effect
of poisonS and impurities present ip
foods. such as spray residues on fruit.
and will test the effects of new
synthetic chemicals used in foods and
medicines.

five years Mrs. Maloney had stopped
at Mrs Colvins home near the Sky

Mrs. Roosevelt was shown through
