In spite of low prices and

permitted to ship only half theii

the dairy business l6* months

they intend neither to quit nor
to reduce their herds, they say
they are feeding their cows ar.d

We’ve been wondering if the
Pilgrim Fathers would have
been suffering with Hard Times
during those early years of their
pioneering had they produced
great qua-tities of c o r n and

flowing with grain. Something

It shows whrt has been done on
the ship channel, what it costs to

the advertising.
The Fourth Amendment toi

shall issue, but upon probable
causes, supported by oath or

was a real reason for this amend-
ment being placed here and we
stmuld be careful to see that it is
properly observed.

Oat prices are just as low as

folks are talking of storing a

At that price we’d sooner buy
oats than grow and sell them.

NOW SHE CAN KNOW!
fPHANKS to the McNary-Mapes
amendment to the Federal
Food and Drugs Act, fostered
and brought about by the com-
mercial canned foods industry it-
self. the housewife will be in a
position from now on to know
that a steadily increasing num-
ber of the canned foods Rhe buys
are above or below certain stand-
ards.
Up to this year the buying of
canned foods has been somewhat
of a blind business. The fact that
such gigantic quantities of them
have been manufactured and sold
is because the vast majority of
them are so uniformly good. But
up to the time when the first
standards under this new amend-
ment were promulgated by the
Secretary of Agriculture, the
housewife had only her own per-
sonal experience and her knowl-
edge of the best brands to guide
her choice. %
Six Standards Set
Now she has new knowledge
put into her hands by the manu-
facturers of canned foods them-
selves. This amendment, which
was signed by President Hoover
on July 8 of last year, authorized
the Secretary of Agriculture to
establish definite standards for all
canned foods products—except
meat and meat foods which arc
subject to the meat inspection net,
and canned milk -and to promul-
gate a form of label designation
for foods which fall below the
standards which he set.
Standards for six canned
foods products have already been
set by the Secretary of Agricul-
ture. These standards are for
caches, pears, peas, tomatoes,
Airies and apricots.
All canned foods which the
Government allows to be sold must
conform to the requirements of
the Federal Food and Drugs Act.
The purpose of the new standards
is simply to enable the housewife
to differentiate at a glance be-
tween the best grades and those
which are not so good, but are
wholesome and legal.
Substandard Grades Labeled
All canned foods which fall be-
low these new standards will be
required to be designated on their
labels as “Below U. S. Standard
—Low Quality But Not Illegal/’
This statement will be displayed
prominently on the container in
immediate conjunction with the
name of the product, and will be
of immeasurable help to the house-
wife by informing her that the
canned food, while substandard,
is nevertheless wholesome and
edible.
Full Cans Also Assured
Thus the housewife can not only
discriminate as to the palatability
and attractiveness of the canned
foods she buys, but the new rules
promulgated by the Secretary of
Agriculture also provide for proper
filling of all cans. These require-
ments for fill of container state
that “canned foods shall lie con-
si lured as of standard fill if the
entire contents occupy 90 per cent
or more of the volume of the
closed container. Canned foods
which fall below the foregoing
standard of fill of container shall
bear the name of the article imme-
diately preceded, wherever such
name appears, by the words 'slack
filled’ in letters of at least equal
size and prominence.”
In this way the housewife is as-
sured that she will not only know
that the canned foods she buys
are above or below certain definite
standards, but that she will get
all of the food she pays for in
every can.
A New Departure
Such action as this is without
precedent in any other industry.
Other industries have formed na-
tion-wide associations and set up
"Czars” to regulate the conduct
of their members, but it has re-
mained for the National Canners
Association to go to the Govern-
ment and say to it in effect:
“We want a law which will not
only regulate the conduct of all
the members of our association
but of every other manufacturer
of canned foods, and which will
make them state plainly on the
labels of these foods whether they
are above or below certain fixed
standards. And we want you, not
ourselves, to set the standards
upon which this explicit labeling
is to be based.”
A Wise Move
This action on the part of the
National Canners" Association is
not based on altruistic or uneco-
nomic principles, but it was taken
because the industry was forward
looking enough to realize that its
continued success depends not
only on the quality of its product
but on accurate knowledge of that
quality by the public.
Under these new standards
which take active effect ninety
days after they are promulgated,
and the first three of which went
into effect on May 18. the house-
wife will be more fully protected
than ever before by specific knowl-
edge of just exactly what kind of
product she is buying.*
Many economists declare that
increases in income are nearly
always preceded by improved
standards of living, the latter
furnishing a powerful incentive
to earn more money. On this
basis Texas 4-H club girls are
doing their bit to better farming
by their wide-spread work in
improving homes and premises.
More than 100 Dallas county
girls, for instance, have put new
curtains in bedrooms, added new
shades, cleaned and varnished
or painted the woodwork, provi
ded reading and writing centers ;
in their homes, and hung new
pictures, to give only a partial
list.
