to be ground up for fertilizer purposes. "It- does not make sense that our government should spend money to support the raising of a potato crop and then destroy the crop in place of using it for food. It is not right that prople in this country -who do not have sufficient food" and people in foreign countries that are starving for something to eat, while we destroy food at home. "This is -a thing that ought to te looked Into. We ought to find out why the government Is permitting the waste of food after it has been produced.

Surely, there ought to be some -way to get this food in the hands of people who can use it. To waste food on the one hand when people are In want on the other hand, is not right. It just does not make sense. There Is no excuse for it." make divorce possible.
