Fair died in the Backus URGE !ARLV PURCHASE 3 OF FOTATO SUPPLY As Large a Stock as ‘Needed Should e Laid In. The committee of food sip State Council of Defense 1s urging that every householder make :t a point to purchase hig supply of potatoes at an early date!’ . The week beginning October ‘1 is' designated as = “potato Week It 'the consumers will pur- chase their supply for the winter sometime during that week, it will do much toward stabilizing the market. They urge that ‘during that week every housekeeper in _the state lay in as large a stock as may be nezded ‘ of Connecticut-grown potatoes and that they buy thees potatoes direct from some farmer. . T{> farmers have been asked to put-a placard in front of their houses. announcing what produce they have for .sale and to send in their names the. local. correspondent of the committee In each town.

Tn a recent interyiew a member of the -committee, in discussing the sub- Ject of potatoes, stated the views and efforts of -the committee as follows: “Connecticut is -an industrial . state and in normal times imports chiefly from Maine, about ‘80 per cent. of the potatoes it annually consumes. This means that every consumer in Connec- ticut who buys a sack of, potatoes con taining 2 3-4 bushels, gets 2 1-5 bush- els of foreign grown potatoes on which he is paying storage, transportation, and intermediate profits in addition to the price originai paid the grower. This is one reason why. each person in Connecticut eats on an average of anly 2 1-2 bushels.of potatoes, while in European countries, which recoz- nize the high food vaiue of potatoes and enjoy simpler methods of market- ing, is fom 7.to 9 bushels for son. “There is .the season when. experi- enced buyers and dealers arrange for their winter supply and buy up the surplus potato crop from the farmers. The farmer sells because ha has no facilities for marketing his crop dur- ing the winter and early spring. There- fore, potatoes arc cheapest just now and_ higher. in the winter. Last win ter they went to $4.a bushel and were hard to get at that.

Fair with several others were cutting corn with the machine about 3 o'clock Friday afternoon when the balance wheel burst most of the fragments entering Fair's legs. The bones in both legs were broken in feveral places between the 'hips and the knees and the flesh ‘was badly mangled. The left leg was nearly severed from the body. Dr. Arthur Chase of Plainfleld was Jaled and he summoned the hospital -ambu- lance at 4.15. Only one of the other men present at the time was injured. Fair lived in Ekonk and Is eurvived by a wife and two children. He was 37 years 0ld and had only been em- ployed on the Hopkins farm a few days. What caused the fiywheel to burst is not known.

The less handling and knocking about that potatoes get the better they are and the longer they will keep. Here s another advan- tage’ In getting freshly dug, home- grown potdtoes from the man who raised them.” Someone with no regard foe the truth and with the evidemt desire to hamper the activities of the govern- ment by creating a feeling of distrust and suspicion among the people has been busily circulating rumors. to the effect that the government expects to confiscate the food stuffs canned and éried by the people for their own use. Such rumors are witaout: fourdation and absolutely untrue. The commit- tee of food supply df the State Coun- cil of Defense znd the Connecticut Ag- ricultural college both wish to state ~mphatically that such action is not considered by the government and that food stocks are in hand for winter are perfectly safe in the hands of their owners. Much to the contrary of the reports circulated, it is the desire of the governmens to encourage the home canning and drying of food. CONFEREES AT ODDS ON TAXATION OF EXCESS,PROFITS They "Are to Meet Sunday After- noon to Hufry Final Agreement. ‘Washington, Sept. 21.—Possibility of final deadlock of senate and house conferees on the war tax bill was:be- lieved tonight to have been removed, following progress made today on the disputed war excéss profits section. Senator Simmons, heading the sen- ate conferees, and _Representative Kitchin, of the house committee, both predicted tonight that complete agree- ment evegtually would be reached but protractioh of the conference, which Vegan a week ago today. Into next week seemed certain. The conferees tenta- tively ayranged to meet Sunday after- noon to_expedite. thair work and hope to_complete their task late Monday. Taxation of war or. excess profits was almost the exclusive subject of today's sesslons of the conferees, pre- ceded by a special meeting of the house ways and means. Both Senator Simmons and ‘Representative Kitchin stated tonight that considerable pro- gress was made today toward an ment on defining “invested cap- which_ shall be subject to tax- ation and exemption, with the prin-. cipal dispute remaining over-txemp- tion of or allowances for intangible as- sets, including - good will, copyright, patent and other inchoate eopyright With agreement on these two ques tions, the conferees believe that the bill will be rapidly concluded, under tentative plans of allowing an exemp- tion of 8 per cent. on invested capital anr providing new and propable in- creased graduated rates on super-prof- its. Increasing in the total tax levy on excess profits also is forecast from the conference room CANADIAN BANKERS EXTEND CREDIT OF $15,000,000 For Purchase in Capada of ‘Food Sup- plies For Imperial Troops.
