-cial- All branch laboratories and food
inspectors will be under single direc-
ton and will work together instead
- being independent of each other, a
condition which led TO lack of co-or-
sination In the past. Certain branch
laboratories will be consolidated be-
cause the work can be done more ef-
fectively and more cheaply in the lar
ger central laboratories which are
provided with complete equipment
ano specifying chemists. Effor will
be made to make the act more of a
hygienic measure through increased
attention TO milk, eggs, = sters and
Ssh, which are subject to organic con-
tamination and may become carriers
of disease
To bring about greater harmony in
TIE work OF the State food officials
and the department in food and drug
work, the Secretary called a confer
cnce which was attended by represen-
tatiyes of 80 States, the District of
Columbia, and Porto Rico. 1t is be-
lieved that this conference has pro-
noted much better understanding.
An Office which will act as a clearing
house of information among the State
and Federal food and drug officials
will be established to prevent dupli-
cation OF work and promote harmo-
NOUS action and cooperation. Expe-
rience has revealed certain weak
nesses in. the food and drug act-no-
tably the lack of provision for legal
standards, and its failure to apply to
certain external remedies. The Sec
rotary will ask that authority be
granted to prepare and submit such
amendments TO this law as may be
deemed needful to safeguard the
health Of the people, establish stand
ards, better define drugs, improve the
food supply and promote uniformity
in the matter of food legislation.

Act and Oother Regulatory Acts.

Marketing.
In many direction further produc-
ton waists on better distribution,
and the field of obstruction presents
problems which raise in very grave
ways the simple issue of justice. I'm
der existing conditions the farmer
does not get what he should for his
porduct; the consumer is required to
pay unfair price, and unnecessary
burdens are imposed under the exist
ing systems of distribution. No one
can see off-hand just what part of the
burden is due to lack of systematic
planning or inefficiency, economic
waste, or to unfair manipulation. The
report outlines the project in this
field as covering marketing Surveys,
methods and costs of marketing, in
Guiding available market supplies in
giving production rates, demand at
consuming centers, cold and other
methods of storage, marketing sys-
TENS and prices, and costs of whole
sale and retail distribution of farm
products. Other strides in this
brance included: Investigation of
transportation problems and the elm
ination of waste in shipment, study
of city marketing and distribution,
study Of grades, anu finally co-opera-
tive production and marketing. The
necessity for standardizing agricul-
turaI products as a prerequisite to
proper marketing is given special
emphasis. The adoption and univer-
sal application Of one uniform stand
ard for cotton would result in great
simplification of all transactions and
do away with the complex methods
of figuring buyers limits. Practical
ly the same results would follow and
the same evils would be removed If
standard grades for corn and were
universally adopted.
The individual farmer acting alone
is helpless before the problems or
rural credit and of marketing. Con-
centrated action does not mean that
an organization shall attempt to es-
tablish a closed market and to fix the
prices. This should be condemned as
strongly in one field Of industry as in
any other.
It is recommended that provision
be made for the establishment or
grading standards for various farm
products and for the PRONUNCIATION OF
the standards already established by
the Department for cotton and corn

Federal Road Policies.

There has been a steady movement
for better roads during the past 20
years, and today "a States have high
way commission or some other State
highway agency. The total annual
expenditure of the State for con-
struction and maintenance of roads
which ten years ago amounted to but
S2,O00,000, has grown to $43,QO,OOO
in 1912. The Federal Government
should take the lead in investigation
al and experimental work, and there
is need for a central agency which
can furnish best Information on all
problems of road building and main
tenance. Recently Congress made an
appropriation of 100000 for i'm
proving post roads, expenditure to be
contingent on the appropriation OF
double the amount of money by the
State or local subdivision. If Federal
aid is to be furather extended in
highway development, legislation to
that end should incorporate this CO
operative principle. The Federal
Government should deal with the
State as the lowest unit, through an
expert highway commissioner as its
agency. The plan should provide for
maintenance as well as construction.
Preference should be given to the i'm
provement of roads over which pro-
products from farms can be taken to
the nearest railway station. A
scheme of road construction and
maintenance within a State should be
developed and mutually agreed upon.
Money appropriated by the Federal
Government should be apportioned
on the basis of such factors as total
population, farm population, area,
taxable valuation, and mileage.

Power and Recreational Permits ir
the National Forests.

The National Forests are being
classified to segregate lands valuable
for agriculture and to establish per-
manent boundaries for timber pro-
duction and water protection. The
earnings from timber sales and 9th
er sources increased 100000, or Is
per cent. over 1912 The forests
should produce all the timber they
can and supply the public need at
lowest possible cost under conditions
that protect the public against mo-
nopoly.
Seventy six water-power projects
have been developed and thirty more
are under consideration The law
permitting only a revocable franchise
should be changed to allow a 5O-year
permit for power purposes, under
provisions protecting the investor
and the public.
Future use Of the 167, 100000 acres,
which does not interfere with more
important employment, should be en-
couraged; the people should get the
highest net total of recreational and
other benefit from them. Fifteen
thousand special permits for various
purposes are in force, and last year
over 100000 visitors made recre-
ational use of the forests. LegiSla-
ton is needed to allow term permits
for the construction of hotel and cot
tages, and for certain recreational
use of the forests, with safeguards
against damage, vandalism and con-
tamination of water. Twelve hun
dred cities and towns now draw their
water supply from these watersheds.
Adequate legal authority to prevent
water pollution and permit sanitary
regulation of watersheds is sorely
needed.
The Crop Outlook.
Special emphasis is laid on the
fact that that the figures for the
crops quoted are estimates, and it is
pointed out that this fact should be
constantly kept in mind. From the
estimates at hand it appears that
the production of crops in 1913 was
materially below the average, the
yield per acre of all crops combined
being smaller than in any year in the
past decade with the exception of
1911. The corn crop, the most valu-
able product of this country, accord
ing to the estimates, fell below $780,
100000 bushels, which is smaller
thanany crop since 1908. Wheat
production, with an estimated total
of 753,000,O00 bushels, is the largest
ever recorded in this country, This
crop was matured before the drought
became effective. Brief mention is
made as to crop conditions through
out the world. Fro mthe estimates
it appears that there were increased
areas sOwn to wheat, oats, barley,
rye and corn, and that the wheat
acreage has probably yielded record
Dut-turn. Barley, oats and rye are
bountiful crops, but corn vii prob
ably give the poorest results in 20
years.
