VARIOUS WANTS

"There were many reasons
why the system Of official quail
ity regulation did not satisfy
consumers and why all similar
systems I'm modern times have
encountered difficulties.
Consumers themselves are
individuals and have unstandard-
lied wants. IL is no easy mat
ter 10 set up standard that
will represent the wants of even
a majority"
Standardization in the long run

he warned. He drove his poin
home. saying:
'Tt would he difficult, even III
n were considered desirable. to
reduce the people TO the status
Of robots, as in the Axis coun-
tries.
ut must be remembered that
whatever limits freedom OF the
sellers, by that same token
limits freedom of choice Of the
buyers"
He said that government inspec
tors were only human, that ever
with the best Of intentions !
would be impossible TO avoid mis-
takes. and he continued:
land Of course the inspector
does not pay for his mistakes.
The sponsor OF the goods, on
the other hand. suffers justly
when the public decides the
quality is unsatisfactory. he
suffers uniustly when some In
spector wrongly declares them
TO he unsatisfactory"

He explained that OPA's mini

that a manufacturer must sell a

CUT IN QUALITY

II will not save money for con-
Sumers II will cut prices but
the quality and durability Of pro-
ducts Will be cut comparably.
1t will penaize the manufac-
turer Of high-claSs goods and favor

II will not bring America into

America in a static world Of para

DR.. HotchkisS traced the efforts
through all history by govern

and substitute for them govern

1.-THE individual trade mark
survived as guide to buyers.
Wherever the consumer cannot

Queer, he finds II necessary to
trust some one. In the long run
the consumers have found IL
safer To trust the sponsor Of the
goods than any official regula-
tor.

the 1912 harvest of 371 $50, 900 BUSH
els. Sweet potatoes are expected to
exceed last years crop by "a per
cent for total of 81 ,255, 900 bushels.
Although truck crops for process
ing will be about the same in the
aggregate as in 1912, three of the
four principal processing crops show
marked increases. Professors can
anticipate harvest of II per cent
more snap beans, 7 per cent more
green peas and per cent more
sweet corn. Beets, a less impor-
tant crop, also show an increase.
Tomatoes, the fourth of the leading
vegetables for processing, will prob
ably be down about per cent below
last seasons supply.
Where the Food Goes
Now that the farmers have come
through with another topnotch har-
vest, what is going to happen to all
this food? Well, civilians will get
most of it-a good, round rs per
cent of the total. Of the remainder,
some ID per cent will go to the
armed services, 10 per cent to lend
lease and 2 per cent to other out
lets. The civilian portion is about
equal to the average amount of food
consumed in the years 1859.
Civilian per capita consumption in
1913 compares favorably with con-
sumption during that period and is
greater for many commodities.
For example, preliminary esti-
mates of per capita consumption are
larger than 1941-record year for
consumption on most foods-for
chickens, eggs, fluid milk and
cream, margarine, potatoes, sweet
potatoes, dry edible beans, and the
grain crops: wheat, rye, milled rice,
corn, oats and barley. While total
fats and oils consumption will be
about l point less than 194l, it will
show an increase of slightly more
than l point over 1912. Canned
juices, dried fruits and fresh citrus
