OW is the country to take care of the record crops which the enterprise and patriotiem of American farmers have this year produced ? Among pertinent practical suggestions to this end The Evening World calls attention to the following from a Columbia County (N. Y.) farmer, for whom the problem has direct, specifie meaning: To the Editor of The Evening World: (From The Evening World of July 18, 1917.) Americans have planted well, It 1» now up to them to use their wits and thelr Ingenuity to such purpose that when they have picked, dug, gathered, eaten and canned there stall be nothing left to rot. Yes, Mr. Editor, it's up to them—AND to you and yours, | Farmers have little or no room for storage of vegetables @nd are compelled to sell their crops as soon as harvested, The local speculators fix the price and the farmer ts cora: pelled to take it or his crop ts “left to rot.” | In every farming centre town there are available bulldings pnge silent Americans Government is drawing SPEECH. that can be obtained by the Government to store for the farmer @t a nominal charge. Supply and demand will then fix the price. ‘ake my case as an example, I expect to harvest about | 2,000 bushels of potatoes. I can store, at outside count, 500 bushels, The same proportion applies to my cabbages, beans, Oats, corn and buckwheat. | What happens then? My crops rot in the fields or I take i what the local corabination of “good American” speculators choose to give me, | Our Food Commission—if ever we get one—ts to handle | produce after it 1s harvested, | belleveand if storage room isn't the key to kill off the speculators, I'd like to know what is, | If our Government can furnish storage for whiskey, why not for food? JOHN F, SHERIDAN, Glen Haven Farm, Austerlitz, Columbia County, N. Y. \3 Next to the labor the farmer must have to harvest his crops, y the storage of hie less perishable produce is undoubtedly the most) important consideration for food conservationists at this moment. After the farmer’s notable response to the call for increased food production, it will be a colossal and criminal shame if his good fruit, vegetables or grain in any considerable quantities are left to spoil in gathering and harvest time through lack of national, State! or local provision for their storage or conversion, Is there any matter to which the coming special session of the Legislature of the State of New York can better devote its immediate attention and effort? ed | NO BETTER WAY? | » Morning World f itutes the Penn eylvania Railroad on having sold out its Susquehanna coal interests, The purchaser, it may be noted, was M.
