COMMISSION IS ASKED BY
SECRETARY OF INTERIOR
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 27.—
The creation of a permanent feder
al oil commission with a view to
conservation, congressional action on
the new reclamation program, im
provements in the administration of
the country’s island possessions and
legislation to increase the internal
efficiency of the interior department
were recommended by Secretary
Work in his annual report.
The secretary did not. discuss the
oil situation at length, but he de
clared formation of a commission of
cabinet members to deal with it was
“an urgent necessity.’'
He likewise touched but brielly on
the new reclamation program which
r, as worked out by a special com -
mission, but which failed of congres
sional approval at the last session.
Eliottment of the legislation contem
plated in the program, he said, was
ore of the tacks wiih which the
present session should deal promptly.
He suggested that within the in
to:ior department i'Si'f these was
need for a new boreal of public
works, in which all construction an 1
engineering work prefrrmed by the
government could be centered. He
also advocated the concentration
into one department, and under one
member of the cabinet of the terri
torial affairs of Alaska and Hawaii.
The report contained a hint that
a general overhauling of the public
land laws may be recommended lat
er to congress. Secretary Work said
a special committee was engaged in
a study of these statutes, and added:
“It is probable that growth of the
country and changed conditions will
warrant some radical departures

PROFITS ON BOX OF SOME
WASHINGTON APPLES TRACED
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 27.—A
box of extra fancy Winesap apples’
produced in Washington state and
sold for $5 by a grocery store own
ed by an individual in New York
city, returned a gross profit of $1.18
to the grower and $1.87 to the re
tailer, the bureau of agricultural eco
nomics of the department of agricul
ture has found in an analysis of re
tain prices.
For the purposes of the survey it
was assumed that the apples were
shipped by a producer organization
and reached the consumer through
a wholesaler, jobber and retailer.
The growers’ gross profit represent
ed 23.6 per cent of the retail price
and the retailers’ share was 37.4 per
cent. The jobber operated on a 49
cent margin per box and the whole
saler 39 cents of 9.8 per cent and
.8 per cent, respectively. The
transportation charges were 80 cents
or 16 per cent, and the margin of
the shipping organization was 27
cents, of 5.4 per cent. The survey
did not go into the net profit phase
of the matter.
