Sweet potato storage house, evapo rators to conserve the fruit crop, save the spring pullets for winter eggs, save the heifer calves for fu ture milk supply, plant all the corn and potatoes that can be properly taken care of, and watch every corn er for possible waste of food pro ducts these were particularly stress ed at the meeting. iMr. G. H. Geitner will have charge of securing data and plans for the construction of a sweet potato storage house that will take care of all the sweet potatoes grown in this section by planters not provided with proper storage facilities of their own. It was roughly estimated that the cost for storage would be about ten cents per bushel, and Secretary Joy will receive orders for storage from all who want to avail themselves of this offer, a storage house tc meet this want will be built on a railroad siding where shipping can be made with little cost. It is planned to kiln dry the potatoes so that ship ments can be made in advance of the shipments in the spring that general ly go out from this section in April and May. Mr. W. J. Shuford went into the scarcity of eggs in detail, and said that unless more chickens are saved for eggs, there would be an unpre cedented shortage of eggs the com ing winter.

Realizing that the bumper apple crop would require extraordinary efforts to save, it was decided to make a thorough investigation of ev aporators and driers, install one or more, and by this means convert the cull apples into a marketable food crop that there is "always a demand for.

Good na tured rivalry between the delegations competing for the numerous prises to be awarded was noticeable and many last minute changes and methods on the eve of the parade tomorrow af- rnoon, in an effort to surpass "the other competitors, were expected.
