u. 5. Surplus Agency
May Handle Buying
OF Food for Britain
Experts Soy Emergency
Needs Experienced Bureau
To Control Price Levels

Huge food purchases for Great
Britain forecast by the lease-lend
law may be handled in this coun-
try by an Agriculture Department
agency which has been buying farm
SURPRISES for relief distribution since
1888.
This was the opinion of Washing
ton experts who, in the absence of
any official ruling on the subject,
pointed out that an experienced
agency for the purchase of food in
quantities large enough to upset
market prices has been built up by
the Surplus Marketing Administra-
ton.
The administration has operated
in its present form since 1885, when
1t absorbed the functions of an
agency organized in 1893.
1t is believed that about a billion
of the seven billion dollars re-
uueSted of Congress by the Presi-
dent will be used for foodstuffS and
allied goods.
Experienced Agency Urged.
In his message yesterday the Pres
ident Jumped together a total of
Sl,300,000,000 for agricultural and
industrial" products.
1t was unknown what part the ag-
ricultural division Of the National
Defense Advisory Commission will
play in the purchasing program.
Farm economists said emergency
orders for food in quantity should
be placed by an agency with expert
ence in obtaining the maximum
legitimate benefit for producers
while maintaining fairly substantial
price levels throughout the country
Estimates as to the British re-
ouirementS were largely speculative,
although based on strong probabili-
ties. 1t was pointed out that Eng
land probably will seek to conserve
her shipping tonnages by importing
more food over the short North At
lantlc route, and that purchases here
certainly will be stepped up under
the new law.
The United States, it was said. is
capable of becoming the bread
basket" as we'll as the arsenal of
democracy" SURPRISES now exist in
wheat and corn, and to a lesser de-
gree in many varieties of dried
fruits, which have been cut off from
their usual export markets.
Britain Needs Compact Foods.
In all probability, however, Eng
land will continue to fill most of her
requirements for wheat in Canada.
Corn probably will not be exported
but used to build up meat stocks.
British demands are Anticipated
Tor compact foods of high nutrition
al value-dried fruits, condensed
milk, eggs, both fresh and dried.
beans, lard, vegetable oil and meat
products, including ham and bacon,
While no large SURPRISES exist in
most of these foods, their production
can be stepped up in a compare
lively short time. Large SURPRISES
nave been avoided through pur-
chases for relief distribution in this
country.
Agriculture Department experts
were not prepared to comment on
what possible effect the British pur-
chases will have on domestic dis
trlbution OF food for relief purposes,
including the expanding food stamp
plan
They said, however, that increas-
Ing employment under the national
defense program already is cutting
down the demand for food for re-
lief purposes.

Uncle Sam Delivers Goods.

summer at the home of Miss Ingerd
Strandskov, left Sunday for his home
in Chicago. His friend, Robert Han
sen, who had also spent the summer
here, left for his home in Chicago a

his Intersection fishing rod. When
Paul opened the parcel the two top
sections of the rod were missing; a
tracer was started through the local
post office and in less than a week
the missing pieces were found in the
dead parcel post section of the Chi
cago post office and promptly for
warded to Mr.. Holmen, for which he
was very pleased as the parcel was
not insured.

Idaho Foremost in Use
OF States Power Plants

MOSCOW, IDAHO.-Although only
a tenth of the stfte's power re-
sources have been developed, Idaho
uses to 2k times as much cleo
tricity per person as the rest of the
United States.
A University of Idaho professor,
j. Hugo Johnson, says GA per cent of
occupied Idaho farms have electric
service, compared with national
average of less than % per cent.
Reason for the heavy use of elec-
tricity in the state, says Johnson, is
a power rate of 2 cents per kiloWatt-
hour, half the national average OF
4 cents.
