Gov. Hobby of Texas:
1 have been advised that the i

express my deep appreciation of this

great state of Texas as represented:
by the legislature and yourself.' I
A nai conveyed aa u eaiaun .v

something extraordlnarrily fine and
patriotic that It was bearing In an
exceptional way more man its par.
of thft financial harden of the war.
"But In point of fact the records of

Texas was a financial slacker in the
last Liberty loan. With t population
of nearly 4000000 as shown by the
last federal eensus Its people sub-
scribed for only $66046150 of the
bonds.
"The Pacific coast states Cali-

for more army encampment favors
than any other state in the union. It
has 13 such cantonments and camps
while the great states of Kew Tork
Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio have
only nine among them and their ag-
gregate Liberty bond subeerlpslons
were J.J505.050. which is 27 times
greater than the Texas subscriptions.
"That illustrates and emphasizes the
inequality and injustice of the vol-
unteer method of raising financial
and military forces In time of war.
Before the passage of the draft law
Texas was A slacker tn maintenance
of the national guard Just as it is
now a slacker in financial support.
The draft law compels It now to do

One Case Of Tomatoes Dried 32 Ounces
TJ. S. Can Save Shipping Space In Boats
By KKBDKItlCK J. TIASKCT.
ASHIKGTON. D. C March IS.
-An amendment to the
pending agricultural appro
priation bill sets aside $250000 to es-
tablish plants for drying vegetables.
Great Interest is felt here in the pos-
sibilities of the project which it is
hoped will be of notable value In
meeting the war food problem next
year.
It Is proposed tov dry vegetables
fruits and such grains as corn. In-
stead of canning them. Supporters of
the government plant scheme point
out that while private plants for
dehydration exist the business will
not be built up in private haads quick-
ly enough to meet the war emergency.
Will Save SfclpplBS S .
As a war measure the significance
of the dehydration project lies in the
fact that dried vegetables save an
enormous amount of freight car and
ocean going tonnage. The Quality and
flavor of the product is said by ex-
perts to compare favorably with -that
of canned goods or of fresh vegeta-
bles after shipment.
The saving in tralk and weight is
very striking. According to figures
presented to the senate committee on
agriculture. In the rase of some foods
a ship can carry SO times as much
dried food as canned. As one witness
crisply put it "If you dry yonr to-
matoes instead of canning them yon
can carry a 60 pound case of tomatoes
in your vest pocket." All the food
value will be there and what Is
equally important when the water re
moved in dehydration is restored In
cooking the flavor and succulence
return. v
How Is It Dose.

They contain a high percm . (re of
water which makes the coit'ast be-
tween the dried and the fresh or
canned article more striking.

CASK WHEN DRIED FOR SHIP
MENT WEIGH 32 OUNCES. THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEV HO POINDS
AND 32 OUNCES TN THE TRANS-
PORTATION PROBLEM DOES NOT
TELL THE WHOLE STORY.
In order to can a carload of tO'
matoes or any other fruit grain or
vegetable) It Is first necessary to
ship the material for the tin plate to
the tin plate factory; then ship the
tin plate to the can fac; jry; then ship
tne cans to tne cannery; then ship the
product to the market. In dehydra-
tion the whole process consists in
shipping the tomatoes to the dehy-
dration plant which should be lo
cated centrally in the' growing dis
trict removinsr the -water thereby
reducing the bulk 90 percent packing
tne products in moisture proor paste-
board containers and shipping to
market.
Wonld Save 164 ears.
ON THE BASIS OF SUCH A CO
PARISOV IT WHS ESTIMATED BE-
FORE THE COMMITTEE THAT -ONE
FREIGHT CIR CARRYING DRIED
TOMATOES' WOULD DO THE WORK
OF 105 CARS CARRtUG THE
CANNED PRODUCT.
This is an extreme instance and an
extreme view; but the general prin-
ciple of tonnage saving Is obvious
and it Is clear that the actual saving
win be great. At tnis time when the
whole movement of the national ma-
chinery waits on freight cirsf when
every effort Is being made to get
every possible ton-mile out of every
car the picture painted by the pro-
ponents of dehydration is an alluring
one.
There Is also an important saving
in materials. Still sticking to to-
matoes as an example experts testi-
fied that in every carload of the i
canned product there was Included
10.000 DOundP of tin. and 14.000 nounds
of lumber. Thus wheni a carload of
canned tomatoes crosses' tne continent-
there is a heavy movement of tin
plate lumber and water with a rela-
tively smell movement of tomatoes.

A man can carry eoongh dried (

cooking the resultant dish Is said
to be a thigh grade of mashed po-
tatoes. In the floor form riced potatoes
as It Is called It wonld of coarse be
possible to ship great quantities of
this valuable food abroad to oar army
and our allies with a relatively small
amount of ocean tonnage. Dehydrated
corn could be shipped in the same
way. It la not practicable to ship
cornraeal to France because In the
French climate it spoils in a short
time.
Feasibilities Illimitable.
Practically every trait and vege-
table can be successfully dehydrated.
The principle is of coarse a very old
one. Before the great rise of the
canning Industry It was; much better
known than It U t"Jay. Dried apples

In some ( eases the dried product

ing are still notieeatty different from
fresh peaches or canned peaches bnt

opinion superior t6 caane-I com.
The keeping qualities of dried vege-
tables are excellent. The British gov
ernment ordered large supplies of
these products for the tioe of Its
armies in the Boer war- After the
war a surplus of these remained. In
1914. at the beginning of the pres-
ent war these stocks were examined
and found to be In Qrstclass condi-
tion. British armies in Flanders ere
fed on dried vegetables which w?re
dehydrated for the use of the British
in the ampatga against the Boers.
Dehydration may become an im-
portant aid to the farmer himself in
saving his perishable fbropa. The de-
partment of agriculture Is working on
small scale dehydration apparatus
which it is hoped wHl be so chea;.
that every farm can dry Irs own prod-
uces If they are In danger of spoiling.
Such a system would be of great value
at a time like the present when both
soft corn and potatoes are being lost.
