That is Solution of High
Cost of Living Saye Prom
inent Farmer.
Farmer Should Endeavor to
Deal Directly With the
Consumer.

Albany, n. Y, Jan. 1S.-lThat the
farmer himself can do much toward
lowering the high cost of living was
the statement made last night by
Raymond A. Pearson, president of the
New York Agricultural society, in the
course Of his annual address before
that organization I'm the senate cham
Der.
president Pearson's remedy is tho
elimination of the middleman. The
farmer, he said, should endeavor to
deal directly with the consumer in or
der to get his proper share Of the
profits
citing as an example the disposition
OF pork, he said
Comparatively little pork is now
smoked and salted on the farm. When
killed II Is placed Immediately on the
market and the market holds II for
profits, which are likely to be far
grfater than the profit derived by the
farmer.
People Don't Discriminate.
''rhe people themselves are largely
to blame for not getting a better quail
ity of milk and eggs" said the speak.
err. Personal investigation has con.
vinced me that the real trouble Is that
the people are not sufficiently dlscrlm-
mating. Farmers send pure milk and
eggs to the city. and there they are
sold for the same price as milk and
eggs produced under much inferior
conditions"
President Pearson declared that
agricultural prosperity might be seen
now in all parts Of the country. He
said the census showed, that during
the last ten years the value of farm
property in New York state had in
creased 35.7 per cent. to a total of
$1.451, 100000 and that in the same
period the value of implements and
machinery I'm New York state farms
had increased 49.S per cent oa tital
value of $50. G45.O0O.
PrOphcsies Food Importation.
He said that "a per cent of the peo-
pie of the United States are classified
as rural. and that when such n large
number Of people are prosperous all
other industries feel the good effects.
but consumption Is overtaklng pro
duction." he added. "Few OF the peo-
pie realize what n serious matter this
Is. We have been great exporters Of
food products. but those who think
this is the case today are ignorant Of
the changes that are taking place. At
the present rate Of increase of popu-
lation and the present rate of increase
OF crop production. we shall, within a
few years, be oblldged to import food
products, and It will be II calamity II
such a condition comes to pass"

with me, but merely sought to give

these assertions that the gentleman's

of "Marse Henry" the descendants OF
Pocahontas and the Smith progeny,

available Democratic candidate. o
