PROGRAM FOR CANNING CAMPAIGN food administration has assembled a staff and is already enlisting the country's women in a household sav. Meanwhile the Feder al Trade Commission, authorized some time ago to conduct an investi gation into food prices with special reference to anti-trust violations, is gathering information which it will turn to the two agencies and to the Department of Justice. . The first move of the food admin istration will be to bring about changes in the system, of distribut ing wheat and in the manufacture and sale of flour and bread. It will take up next the production of meat and dairy foods. The Trade Com mission has investigators now in the flour mills and in the wheat packing houses. .
