Operation Of Agreements
Under Constant Review.

The work OF the inter depart
mental organization in connection
with a particular agreement does not
cease with the proclamation Of the
agreement. The operation of the
agreement is under constant review
in every phase. The inter-depart-
mental organization is always ready
to receive representations from the
interested parties regarding any
aspect of the agreement. 1t is pre-
pared to act whenever new circum-
stances warrant.

It is necessarily slow process. In
world headed steadily In the direc-
ton of narrow nationalism, with all
its attendant disasters for the we'll
being Of our country and of all coun-
tries, we have taken a position of
leadership in an effort to reverse
this fatal trend. Our work has
borne tangible fruit during the five
and one-half years of the operation
of the trade-agreements program.
But the stupendous task involved
was only partly completed when a
widespread war again broke out.
That calamity has imposed upon us
new tasks and new responsibilities.
While hostilities are in progress it
is necessary for us to defend our
export trade from the inroads of
wartime controls and dislocations.
For this purpose the trade agree
ments now in effect are of inesti-
mable value. The scope for going
forward with the program during
the war is naturally restricted.
But the need for facilitating trade
and for keeping alive the principles
which underlie the trade-agree-
ments program Is Of crucial i'm
portance. For our actions now will
have an enormous influence upon
the problems of economic recon-
struction when hostilities have
ceased.
The experience of the two dec
AIDES which elapsed between the
end Of the World War and the out
break Of q new war in Europe has
brought out in sharp relief the
validity of two basic propositions.
The first of these is that our Ma
ton, and every nation, can enjoy
sustained prosperity only in a world
which is at peace. The second Is
that peaceful world is possible
only when there exists for 1t a
solid economic foundation, an in
dispensable part of which is ac-
tive and mutually beneficial trade
among the nations. The creation of
such a foundation Is the second Of
the two primary objectives Of the
trade-agreements program, which
seeks the advancement Of our do
mestic prosperity and the promo
ton Of world peace.

1t Is Lucky To Visit
Thirteenth Dairy Day

The only bad luck connected with
one number 13 is going to be parcel
ed out to those who stay away from
the 18th annual Dairy Day at the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, Friday, August 9, and thereby
miss chance to get information
that will help Ohio dairy profits.
DIR. C. F. Monroe says this event
will be family unit affair, with
judging contests and games for the
younger folks and with a special
morning and afternoon program for
women. The dairyman can join one
or more of the several group dis
cussions on subjects of timely in
terest to those in his industry.
One section of the program is
devoted to information about max
ing and feeding grass silage. The
opinions of 120 Ohio farmers who
made grass silage last year will be
reported at the meeting.
A farmer who has made an out
standing success of increasing the
amount of roughage fed to his herd
will explain his methods during the
day. The possibility of reducing
feed costs by more liberal feeding of
roughage is one of the subjects get
ting special attention on farms and
in experimental work now.
Tours to inspect things of interest
to dairymen at the Station will be
conducted each half hour. A tour
to the pasture farm will be made at
the conclusion of the afternoon
speaking program. Sixty acres there
are devoted to pasture experimental
work.
The Ohio Dairymen's Association
has charge of the afternoon program
and will make a report on Bangs
disease legislation. DR.. G.. w. Sails
bury, Cornell University, will speak
on the topic, Breeding at the Cross
roads,. This will be a return home
for the speaker, who is the son of
Professor S. M. Salisbury at Ohio

Fruits Are Best Tonic
For Summer Appetites

When appetites lag in the hot
summer months, serve chilled fruit
or fruit juice. Alma Garvin, extern
sion nutrition specialist, Ohio State
University, says there is nothing like
fruit to whet summer appetites. It's
color appeals to the eye, its tart
flavor is refreshing, and it has
plenty of vitamins.
Cantaloupe or watermelon ball
cocktail is a good appetizer. Cut
balls of melon with a special melon
ball spoon, chill, and serve plain or
with raspberries or a slice of lemon.
Sweet red cherries make appetizing
cocktails too. Leave the stems on,
rinse in cold water, and then chill in
the refrigerator. They will come to
the table with a cool, frosty coating.
There are many combinations of
fruit that can be used to make ap-
petizers. Use sugar sparingly, as
sugar takes away the tart flavor.
Berry juices have many possibilities.
Miss Garvin suggests fresh red cur
rant juice, or raspberry juice, either
alone or in combination with other
delicately favored juices.
Novel fruit drinks can be made by
freezing fruit or berry juice in the
refrigerator tray, and using the
fruit-fiavored ice cubes in lemonade
or other fruit drinks.
Fruit juices are becoming more
and more popular. The commercial
fruit juice output is we'll over so
million gallons a year, and over so
million gallons of beverages from
grapes are processed annually. These
figures do not include the large
quantities of sweet apple cider and
fruit juices produced on farms. The
great increase in the use of fruit
juices is attributed to the general
appreciation of the convenience and
dietary value of fruit juices, and the
necessity for saving fruits that can
not profitably be marketed fresh.
Miss Garvin says there are many
combinations of fruits and fruit
juices which will tempt members of
the family to eat when any of them
is chilled and served.

Bargain Hunters Miss
Best Buy In Tomatoes

Ohio farmers have learned to pro-
duce fine crops of tomatoes but the
housewives in the state are not so
we'll informed about buying this
vegetable to the best advantage, ac-
cording to Professor H. ID. Brown,
department of horticulture, Ohio
State University.
Professor Brown says the home
maker who intends to be very eco-
nomical usually waits to buy to-
matoes along the last of the season
when prices are at the low point
This is false economy, the Professor
claims, because tomatoes produced
on half dead vines are worth much
less than tomatoes from vigorous
green vines.
Ohio, in greenhouses or in the
fields, produces tomatoes nearly every
month of the year. The ones grown
under glass are produced under con-
trolled conditions which maintain the
quality of the tomatoes throughout
the season. Tomato vines in fields
are likely to be damaged by insets
or weather.
The best time to buy tomatoes for
canning in Ohio is just after the
vegetable becomes plentiful outdoors,
and that is usually in August. Some
of the later varieties or some fields
planted late may produce perfect
tomatoes after the main crop has
been harvested.
Professor Brown declares buyers
can not judge the quality of toma-
toes by their coloration. They may
be picked green, shipped long dis.
tances, and then artifcially ripenec
to produce a rich red color. The
tomato itself will be slightly wrinkl-
ed or shrunken and will have a fiat,
insipid flavor.
Buyers who can not inspect the
field from which tomatoes came must
depend upon the salesman for infor-

nation. Tomatoes grown within
reasonable distance from the selling
point are likely to be picked at
maturity when the quality is the
best. If tomatoes are just becoming
plentiful in the locality the time is
right for buying the supply for can
ming.
Homemakers who like to combine
driving and produce buying should
avoid buying tomatoes picked from
vines that are partly dead or which
have been defoliated by insects. The
food materials within the tomatoes
are produced by the leaves and
vine which lacks many leaves will
produce tomatoes with less than a
normal amount of food value.

Portage Lakes, now one of
Ohio's greatest amusement CEN
ters, were we'll known to the In
dians of the State. They are of
glacial origin and derive their
name from the fact that they were
on the portage between waters
leading into Lake Erie and into
the Ohio River.
Today. these lakes, just south
of Akron, are under the jurisdic-
ton of the Division of Conserva-
tion and Natural Resources Of
Ohio. Twelve in number, they
lie among sandy hills typical of
the glacial deposits of this area.
The lakes are partially connect
ed by a series of channels to form
a chain or cluster.
The scenery around these inland
waters is unusually beautiful, be-

reach to the very waters edge.
Opportunities for sport and rec

Lakes. They are well stocked
with game fish and there are am

Dancing pavilions, hotels and
other resort attractions are nu-
