GiUe Details of Efforts
to Combat High Cost of
Lining Over Country

Washington, Dec. S.-Efforts to re-
duce the cost of living through in
creased production and better distrib-
ution of the country's foods are detail
ed in the annual report of Secretary
Houston of the Department of Agricul-
ture. The report also devotes con-
siderable attention to the pure food
law and urges on Congress the need
of strengthening 1t to permit stand
ardization of foods and drugs and in
spection of foods and drugs factories
Records of the department, the re-
port sets forth, show that except for
meat and dairy products the per capita
production of the leading food COM
modities in the United States has re-
mained about the same despite the
rapid growth of population. Statistics
presented cover a period of 16 years
The population has increased in that
time 3S per cent. There is ground for
optimism, the report says, as to the
ability of the nation not only to sup
ply itself with food, but increasingly
to meet the needs of the world
One of the principle aims of the de-
partment has been to increase meat pro-
ductfon. The report shows q steady
growth since 1913 in the output of beef
and an advance in the number of swine
every year since 1899. More extensive
sheep raising is recommended as a
sources of foed, 1t is pointed out that
only one farm in seven in the United
states now supports sheep. Fifty mil
lion sheep it is said, could be added
to the country's flocks.
Stabilizing of production is recon-
mended as one of the greatest agricuI-
tural needs In producing food crops
sufncient to meet demands. This car
be accomplished best, the report points
out, though better adapted or i'm
proved crop varieties, more systematic
and rational crop rotation and improved
agricultural practice generally. In
many parts of the country more atten.
tion to livestock production is essen
tial to enduring and economical agri-
culture, the report declares.
1t is highly desirable, it is pointed
out, that areas for production of staple
crops be broadened as far as experience
and sound economics may warrant In
| this respect the report dwells on the
Importance of controlling plant diseases
and insect pests.
Marketing of farm products, rural
finances and rural organization, the re-
port says, have received close attention
from the department in the last three
years. four-year program developed
I in 1913 has been in a large measure car
ried out.
