the economic waste of foodstuffs in transit have been conducted. The ob- ject of these investigations is to se- cure better cooperation between ship pers and carriers and greater effi- ciency in methods of handling, with a view to eliminate, or at least great ly to reduce, the present waste.
 Well tested systems of accounts and records for primary grain elevat- ors, for livestock shipping assocla- tions, and for cooperative stores have been issued. Systems for country creameries and cotton warehouses have been devised and are being test ed under commercial conditions. Sys- tems perfected by the department for farmers cooperative elevators and for fruit and produce associations already are in extensive use. A plan for adapting farmers grain elevator companies to the patronage dividend basis has been worked out and pub lished.'

 Sharp fluctuation of yeild and price from season tends to stimulate speculative and superficial farming and to discourage the systematic crop rotation and through cultural prac- tice which are essential to an en- during and economically sound ag- riculture.

 The report reviews at length the administration of. the foods and drugs act It's recommendations for legisla- tion to reinforce the present law are given: Experience in connection with the administration of the food and drugs act has strikingly empha- sized the importance of enforceable standards for foods and drugs. With out them it is impossible to carry out completely the purposes of the act. In many instances protection of the consumer-the principal object of the law-cannot fully be accomplished, nor can unfair practices on the part

of interruptions manufacturers ade- Quately be prevented. In some cases maintenance of prosecution is difficult and expensive, even when the articles involved clearly are adulterated or misbranded. To meet this situation,
 I have recommended i'll the estimates for the fiscal year 1918 that the sec retary of agriculture he authorized to esta blish standards or strength, quail ity, or purity for articles of food and for those articles of drugs which are sold under or by a name not recog-

HOUSTON TELLS HOW TO CUT LIVING COST
Increased Production and Better
 Distribution, His Advice

Washington, Dec. S.-Efforts to re- duce the cost of living through in creased production and better dis tribution of the countrys foods are detailed in the annual report of Sec retary Houston of the department of agriculture. Int report also devotes considerable attention to the pure food law and urges on congress the need of strengthening it to permit standardization of foods and drugs and inspection of foods and drugs fac tories. .-..-.a,.....
 Records of the department, the re- port sets forth, show that except for meat and dairy products the per cap- Jta production of the leading food commodities in the United States has remained about the same despite the rapid growth of population. Statistics presented cover a period of sixteen years. The population has increased In that time 33 per cent There is ground for optimism the report says as to the ability of the nation not only to supply itself with food, but increasingly to meet the needs of the world.
 ohS OI Cie pflnc1ple aims Of the de- partment- has been to increase meat production. The report shows 9 steady growth since 1913 in the out put of beef and an advance in the humber of swine every year since 1899. More extensive sheep raising Is recommended as a source of food. It is pointed out that only one farm Tn seven in the United States now supports sheep. Fifty million sheep, It is said, could be added to the coun- Ery's fiocks.
 Stabilizing of production is recom- mended as one of the greatest agri- cultural needs in producing food crops sufficient to meet demands. This
