undertaken by a national civic fedora
tion, which was organized today by
the department on agricultural con-

and noted speakers discussed the
farming industry. .
They held that cooperation and
systematized organization among far
mers was necessary if the industry
in the United States was to be-
brought up to the standard obtained
in other countries. The decision to-
aid the farmer was contained in a
resolution adopted at the suggestion
of DR.. Albert Shaw, who declaEed
education and standardization were
factors toward solving the problem.
The committee authorized Seth Low,
