CONGRESS TAKING UP
HIGH COST OF LIVING

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24-'J am gath
ering proof which will show that Amcrl-
can farm products are being sold cheaper
abroad than they are In this country"
declared Secretary OF Agriculture Wilson
today at "the high cost of living" hear
Ing being conducted by sub commit
tee OF the house committee on the Dis
trict OF Columbia.
Mr.. Wilson gave evidence to show that
the producer at the present time was
getting a little more than formerly for
his food products, while the ultimate
consumer was paying an excessive price
American people enjoyed the cheapest
food in the world" continued Mr. Will
son. but nowadays not enough people
know how to farm profltably, know how
to set enough out of a days work. know
how TO make an acre respond. The lure
of the factory has called the farmer from
the plow.'
The worst farming in this country Is
done east OF the Allegheny mountains.
and agricultural land is cheapest in that
locality. In consequence continued
Secretary Wilson. ''the boys have left
the farm. and the scarcity OF labor is
now the greatest concern OF the agri-
culturalIst."
Secretary Wilson. declared that Wash
lnEton was one OF the most expensive
cities in the land. and that retailers In
this city demanded A. per cent profit,
where In cities like New York and Phil
adelphia they were content with II to 20
per cent,
Conditions at tho capital. however.
with reference to the cost OF living
the secretary said. were true to q great
extent OF other cities.
