MARKET PROBLEMS.
Complex Difficulties Of Getting
Food to Consumer.
Questions That Must De Solved 70
Avoid Waste Of Money and Loss In
Getting Produce From the
Farm 70 the City.

Washington. The many difficult
and complex problems that must be
solved before present waste and loss In
getting food from the producer to the
consumer can be avoided we're dis
cussed IN detail recently by represent.
atives OF the department Of agricul-
ture. G.sf
David F. Houston. secretary Of az
riculture, opened the discussion by
pointing out that II is difficult to de-
eide whether the problems Of produc-
ton or Of distribution are the more
dimcult. although In his opinion those
Of distribution are at the present time
the most urgent In many communi.
ties, further production. he stated, is
discouraged by reason Of the fact that
the products can not easily be mar
keted OF because they are marketed
at loss. Farmers send commodities
BY consignment to certain central
markets and instead Of securing =
profit on the shipment find they are
compelled to send checks to cover the
expense. In many cases. Secretary
Houston stated, products are sent out
rather blindly to great distributing
centers and then not infrequently are
sent back over the same route to mar
kets which need them. One Of the
great problems, he stated, was to as
sist groups Of producers to md the
best nearby local markets. This
among other things would greatly re-
lieye transportation agencies which
undoubtedly are now unnecessarily
taxed by haphazard and chaotic meth
DDS of marketing. ! '
Continuing. Secretary Houston said:
There is so much interest-so much
excitement-thati it will be very easy
to do things hastily and to 60 in a
wrong direction. Wrong steps will be
fatal. They will create lack Of con-
1dence and hamper US in attempting
to solve our problems. ,.s
"Unquestionably, we are confronted
with great difficulties, but we must
overcome them. The farmers must be
induced in particular communities to
develop staple products, to standard
ize them, to prepare them properly for
market, to study what market to reach

economical method Of shipping the
product. Nothing less than concerted
action will suffice. The individual
farmer can not solve the problem. He
can not sufficiently control the prob
lem of production or of machinery for
marketing or the transportation IA
eilities. ..
"Of course, am not speaking OF
concerted action which shall have for
its object the establishment of a
closed market or the fixing Of prices
imagine we shall not accept such a
principle In agriculture any more than
we would in manufacturing. 1t is as
unnecessary as it would be undesir-
able. I am simply suggesting the in
PRODUCTION of business principles into
farming for pure economic efficiency.
The results of this will be beneficial to
the producer as well as to the con-
sumner.
1--WE shall act as speedily as posi-
BILE. We shall zealously undertake to
discover all the essential facts. At
the earliest possible moment we shall
disseminate what information we have,
and when the proper time comes shall
undertake to make an educational
demonstration. In this work, as in
other directions, we hope to cooperate
with every useful public agency. We
are now preparing to undertake CO.
operation in an experimental way with
the postofice department. We shall
work in as close harmony with the
state colleges as possible and to avail
ourselves Of all assistance from col
eye departments Of marketing and
from state marketing bureaus"
