Root Crops Such as Potatoes. I Parsnips and Onions Should Be Stored , Owing to the shortage and the in creased price of tin cans and glass jars attention has been directed to the drying of surplus vegetables and fruits. If an ample supply of con tainers, is available, it is prpbably bet ter to can surplus. .. vegetables and fruits rather than to dry them, as the drying .required more time and .labor, However, if Cans are not available: surplus vegetables should be saved iri spnie'way:'' ' - ; ;v V: , . . ;A11' such vegetables' as can "be kept ,in a fresh condition by stor-' ing should be saved in this manner, while those of a more perishable na ture should ' be dried. Root crops, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, beets, parsnips, carrots, onions, etc.; should be stored rather than dried if they mature at a time: of the year when they can be safely kept in this way. The more perishable crops. i such as sweet corn, string beans, and early cabbage, might be dried. These can be dried in an oven, in trays or racks over the kitchen stove, or in a specially constructed drier. There are small driers sold which give satisfactory results. Some of these are made for use on the cook stove, while others have a metal base furnace. In both of these types the principles of .drying ;are the' same. The evaporator part consists of . a frame work, of , wood; or galvanized, . sheet iron with supports for the trays; The trays or racks baye- wire; or perfo rated metal, bottoms .through which the heated air passes. Home-made dryers of various kinds have been used for drying fruits and vegetables. vA type of home-made dry kiln used in some sections of - the country can be made as follows: Walls of brick stone or cement are built up a foot or two above the ground with the front end left open for a fire door, The size of this kiln depends upon the amount of material to be dried Many farm kilns are 4 feet wide and 8 to 10 feet long. At the back end a flue is built and this should ex tend 4 or 5 feet above the top of the kiln. Iron bars are placed across the top of the structure and sheet iron or tin placed over these. A layer of clay mortar is spread pver the whole surface to the depth :Of about two inches. After applying - the mortar a fire should be started, in the . fur nace to bake the clay. The firing should be done with a slow fire, and any cracks formed during -the bak ing ,should ' be closed up with thin mortar. The material to. be dried On this type of a kiln is placed on large metal trays to the depth , of 2 or 3 inches. . Only a few hours are required for the drying process. Most any fruit or vegetable can be ; dried WILL OPEN JUNE 1. Hanover Inn To Be Managed by Miss Dososway and Mrs. Huggina.

"Dear, Sir and Brother: ' "Apropos of the "coming convention of the iGrand ' Lodge: We are enter ing on a war which may be a bloody one, which may be of long duration, but, however waged and for what pe riod of time enduring, it has one cer tainty which must be faced from which there is no escape. Young men go forth from home and loved ones who will return no more, some pf the . flower of our mandhood will come back to us with broken health and shattered limbs these things are accompaniments of all wars.

The gentlemen were this type of dryer, but those most commonly dried are apples, peaches, cherries and sweet com. " The material to be dried is washed and sliced or shredded before being placed on the racks. Most vegetables are dried without cooking,, but sweet corn is usually steamed or boiled long enough to set the milk. After the steaming or boiling the corn fs cut from the cob and placed on the trays or racks for drying. Root crops such as carrots, parsnips, onions, etc., are peeled and sliced in preparation for drying. Cabbage arid celery are shredded. After slicing or shreddipg the material is placed on the racks to L the depth of one o? two .inches, de pending upon the ..character of the ma terial, and the heated .air passes through andjover it The tempera ture for drying should be rather low to prevent scorching the product, V A temperature of about .150 , degrees F. is considered satisfactory. .

War to the knife upon food speculators and all other public enemies who attempt to take advantage of the government and the people in the emergency con fronting the Nation was declared by the executive committee and the officers of the National Wholesale Grocers' Association in emergency session at the Marlborough-Blenheim hotel, yesterday. Thirty of the largest food supply dealers in the country, representing every distribution center from tne Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf, went into session early this morning, and ex cept for a brief noonday recess worked until after dark, debating every phase of the food supply ques tion.. . The conferees went, back " to work at 8 p. m. with the intention of remaining in conference until mid night. Shortly after adjournment this evening the executive committee dis patched to Washington an offer prob ably without parallel in the history mr. tn' vnnw tho inv0 nf thoir Tiatu-! of 'American business.

" ' Xf SPOKE AT HIGH SCHOOL. in meeting any situation which may arise .with relation to procuring an ample supply of food for the Ameri can people, the American troops to be disnatched across seas and the people- and the Jroops of the allied nations. "We are not dealing with the pres ent, but with the future. There is at present food practically without limit, but in the light of conditions without precedent no man can say with any degree of certainty what will be the; situation a year hence," Alfred Beck man, secretary, stated upon behalf of the executive committee. "This evi dently is not to be a short-term war. It is our present opinion that . it will last for at least one year, probably two and possibly three. Ready, for Long War. "We are preparing our plans for co-pperation with the National ; gov ernment with the latter possibility in mind. Everything we have, our serv ices; and our products, are unreserved ly at the disposal of the nation. ; We J have no greater desire than to serve' power, without thought of commer cial .reward , - .; "We have fold .the government that if jt has shfps to load we will not only supply the goods but attend. to the loading because no organization in the country, probably, is better equipped to deal with the assembling of supplies." The conference took no action with relation to the food bill before Congress. That question is befo!KB the conference and will be voted. ?fl. The conference deplored misleading reports relative to food supply condi tions because they cause hysteria and have a tendency to inflate prices for which it was declared there is at this time no excuse. The conference reg istered disapproval also of over preaching economy to the destruction of normal business. The executive committee does not believe it will be necessary for Con gress to regulate prices drastically. Leading members, however, will sup port a movement to guarantee a min imum rate for wheat, corn and other staples. ;. Should Imitate England. "Germany fixed a maximum price and made a great mistake; England , established a minimum rate for . the necessities of life with highly satis factory . results. Farmers cannot be expected to take chances in planting the great crops we believe will-' be necessary for the future unless they are guaranteed a price for their pro ducts which will cover the costof production with a fair reward for the labor involved," the committee state-, meht sets forth. Whether the cancelled Wasnlngtbh convention will be held later has not yet been determined. The executive committee approved the action of jthe officers in suspending the meeting fpr a two-fold" purpose. To have 'forded the Washington hotels to supply ibe reserves quarters would have caused great inconvenience to those sum moned there fdr emergency contr encesl Furthermore, the expenditure of thousands, of dollars for travelilg expenses to take members to Wash ington would have been a conspicu ous violation of the principles of economy. --. 5$? The meeting was well attended and sentiment was very earnest. .', The fol lowing resolution furnishes the opin ion of the executive committee: ":fhe .
