''The public has grown hysterical
over the food problem" said George

section of the dairy and food division
OF the department OF agriculture, In
the dairymen's closing session Friday

Of the enemy by its present methods
Of buying" he continued 1T used I'd
be the custom to lay in a winters sup
ply of food. including a quarter OF
two OF beef, barrels of -four and pota.
toes and various other products. Now.
adays the housewife runs to the mar.
ket for single cut of beef, buys her
potatoes by the peck and her -four by
the sack. hus she is ever at the
mercy of the Legitimate hold-up man.
This hand-to-mouth system of buying
is the seat OF the power attained by
the trusts and corporations that con-
troll the food supply.
Also there are too many middle
men handling food products. which of
course means an extra profit which
the consumer must pay Then. too,
the modern housewife has not the art
of making a juicy steak from an ordin-
airy piece of meat as she used to do In
the old days. She must have the best,
and five times out of 10 she ruins
this. Meat should be cooked slowly
to obtain the best results"
While Mr.. Whitaker did not say
that there was danger OF a national
food famine. he declared that the next
bovine census will show great de
crease in all kinds Of dairy products
