LOCAL OUTPUT
IS INSPECTED
Lieutenant Tobin Looks Over
Dehydrated Potatoes for
Government .
BY W. C. COWGILL
"There are some things about this
business that I might tell you. that
would, be of general Interest to the
public, but I promised Mr. Ayre and
Mr. Newell yesterday I would give
out nothing for publication about
the government's business just at this
time," said Lieutenant Paul H. To
bin,' of the quartermaster's depart
ment, who was in Salem a few hours
yesterday for the purpose of inspect
ing the products of The Salem-Kings
Products company.
The lieutenant was accompanied
to Salem by Mason Wittenberg, of the
Wittenberg-King company of Port
land, Jthe parent company of the
branches In The Dalles and Salem.
As soon as the government closed
a contract with The Salem-Kin?s
Products company for 600 tons of
dehydrated potatoes, that fact was
wire from Washington by Senator
McNary to the commercial club of
Salem and It was largely due to his
efforts, as well as the efforts of the
club, that the contract- was landed
for the Salem firm, and later the
contract was confirmed by General
Goethals, quartermaster general of
the army, after ten quartermasters
had tested the products of the Sa
lem factory, already tested by others
in Portland.
At the word "Go" Manager Jack
Walker of the Salem company, put
a Jarge force to work on the big con
tract and he has now on hand in the
warehouse at the plant nearly 250,-
000 pounds, by rough estimate yes
terday. '.Lieutenant Tobin returned
to his headquarters in Portland al
most as suddenly as he arrived in
Salem, but said he would be in the
neighborhood for a long time.
"While I will not tell you just.
what foods I have inspected on this
trip, or anything else for the pres
ent, you say for me as well as Food
Director W. B. Ayre. who speaks for
the entire state of Oregon, so far
as the government Is concerned, that
in a few dayB from now I cannot
say Just when the government will
institute a wide campaign of pub
licity In every corner of the state. We
want the people then to know what
our plans are, and we expect to get
the co-operation of the people, es
pecially the farmers of Oregon.
"You can tell the farmers that it
is to their interest to grow things, not
only because the government has to
have potatoes, turnips, carrots, on
ions and. all kinds of fruits for our
soldiers, but we have got to support
ourselves as well and the more acres
planted, the less will be the danger
of shortage on any line of food, and
the cheaper the prices to consumers
at home."
The lieutenant was not talking
about grain production of any kind,
as everybody knows that the govern
ment has fixed the price of wheat,
but what he asked to have Impressed
on the minds of the farmers in Mar
lon county and the Willamette valley
generally, is that fruits and vege
tables of every variety are not only
necessary fof the daily food of the
soldiers, but the people at home, un
der orders from Washington, must
use more and more potatoes, and
other flour substitutes.
Lieutenant Tobin exiects to re
turn to Salem in a short time.
