Annual Food Loos
Cuts Into Supply
Analytical studies of garbage col
lected in 247 cities show that Ameri
can garbage contains an average
waste of three-fourths .of a pound of
food for each person every day, say
home economists with the State Col
lege Extension Service.
Many food losses naturally occur
in the transportation of food to mark
et by track, boat or train. Then
when the food reaches the retail
stores it may be wasted by careless
handling or pinching fruit snd vege
tables to see if they are ripe. And
in restaurants and public eating
places, a tremendous waste occurs.
However, it is in the home that
the home economists want to cut
wastes most' The quote figures

tritionists to support their conten

If no more than a quarter or a

that we will have done much towaida

By furnishing Mack rotant logs

that fanners m Jackson county have
already cut and sold 181,879 board
feet of black walnut logs for this'
purpose.
This record production Was made
tween May 29 and September 25,
and Orr believes that it will reach
the 200,000 mark before Christmas.
