Presidens Wilson Says the Trouble
is Too Many Leaving Farms.

rs costs more to get the common
necessities OF life In the United
States today than in any other coun-
try IN the world
This startling sta.enea: was made
few nights ago by James Wilson,
Secretary Of Agriculture. in an ad-
dress delivered before the Manufac.
turers' Club OF Philadelphia Sec.
retary Wilson discussed The Pres.
ent Food Crisis in way that was
original and torceful.
Some people he said. tell us
that K We repeal the present tariff

are 35 cents dozen in Canadian
cities and so cents a dozen in soae
American cities. The duty is cents
dozen. What difference would 1,
make whether you took OF that 3
cents o! not?
The secretary further stated that
be believed the Aemricaa people are
suffering at present not so much
from the cost Of living. his state
nent being:
1T has been said that the Ameri-
can IS the best fed. best clothed. best
educated and best housed man upon
earth. We shall have to add now
thar he IS the most evpensiye!y fed. .
Secretary Wilson pointed out tha:
the fundamental difficulty was tina:
the people are leaving the farms 20
sucn an extent that there are not
enough renaini2a TO produce the
food Of the increasing population.
The boys and girls OF the farm. he
asserted. are being lu-ed away to
the cities, to the factories and to
the mines, and to too great an eI-
tent the agricultural resources OF
the country are being neglected.
He said he was convinced that the
combination OF retailers, whole
salers and the like were responsible
IN great measure for the keeping up
OF prices and that the same influence
would be sufficient to control the
prices Of products brought from 9TH
er countries, even though the tariff
were removed.
Secretary Wilson, after declaring
that the record made by the manu-
facturers OF the United States Is q
good one. said the education OF the
farmer. however. has been over
looked. The young farmer has been
educated away from the farI and
from the production OF food for the
people"

the administration is exactly as al
ready stated in the presidents me-

The statement was :SSuel after
