Good carbon can he made from the shells of cocoanuts, but the shortage of ships renders their

transportation from the tropics difficult. The Food Administration requested bakera to use cocoauuts urn much as possible so as to stimulate their importation, but with fewer ships this makes a complicated problem at the best. So the call has been sent out for the men and women of the nation to make the effort and take the trouble to supply the Infinitely better material, already in thla country. Housekeepers can either deposit their accumulations of shells and pits In some public reeept-tele, or can give their offering's to the locai Red Cross Chapter, which will ship them to the G:ts Defense Division of the Chemical War Service o be Army.

N'ational Crop Improvement Service. ((T is foliy to say jthat wo can ever j grow too many potatoes. The most pernicious doctrine that was ever promulgated la the statement, by many of those high in agricultural circles, that more money is paid the farmer for a small crop than fcr a large one," saya Frank Baackes of the American Steel &. Wire Company. "It is true that on the surface it would seem that in a year when potatoes were scarce, that the man who had a few potatoes could got more for them, but what about the man who had no potatoes on account of

the scarcity, and how about the mai with the big family who had to buj potatoes? Doe8 anybody claim thai paying a large price to a few farmeri is better than paying a fair price tc them all? And who pays that price! The man of family who has man? hungry mouths to feed. "For the Bake of argument let vi admit that under present and formei conditions a bumper crop of potatoes may be a calamity. But why blam the potato? The blame should re?l on us on account of our inadequate preparation to take care of such a crop. "While we have been crying about the price of potatoes, we have been importing tons and tona of potato flour, potato starch, potato gums and dextrincs. We hare never made po tato alcohol a factor. "How then can we complain at th.? price of potatoes? In those section3 of the country where large quantities of potatoes may be easily grown there is a duty to our country which we must perform. "Production depends upon marketing and marketing is commerce. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States Ehould recogniie this and gel behind a movement to double the potato production. We ought to have a billion bushels of potatoes every year Instead of a scant four hundred million. The solution of this problem depends upon the rise which can be made of small and inferior potatoes. "The retail price of good potatoes may be maintained by proper gradiag and starch mills and flour mills must be directed and operated, perhaps at a loss in the beginning, to take care of the inferior surplus. We can use all of the potato starch and flour we can make and more too, and it must be remembered also that the by-product pulp is good stock; feed, which la now so scarce from other sources."
