the last four years, in particular, great
extensions of activities in this field have
been made. A bureau of markets, with
| varied activities and forces reaching into
! very many sections of the union, with
regular budget of nearly 100000,
has been built up. 1t has rendered aid
in many directions. Through the evolu-
ton of the market news service, it has
been particularly helpful to truck grow
ers. Under the food-production bill, now
sions of the activities of the department
in the field of marketing, especially the
marketing of perishables, and of the con-
servation of these products, of other
farm products, and OF live stock, are
provided for. The bill carries one item
of S4,34S,000 for additional assistance
in the production and conservation of
farm products, involving in particular
the extension of the county agent and
home demonstration system. 1t car
ries another item of 50 $4,000 for the
emergency extension of the marketing
work.
ut has been part of our program to
call TO our aid men actually engaged in
the handling of such commodities, and
hence our appeal to you. The particular
points for consideration at this time are
the ascertaining of the areas in which
special service can be rendered, the best
means of conserving surplus perishables
through canning, drying, OF other de-
vices, the securing of adequate supplies |
of containers, the improvement of mar
keting conditions, and the most helpful |
agencies to be enlisted for service. With |
a view to ascertain somewhat more fully |
the actual facts as to production and |
as to area where SURPRISES may exist |
| have had a survey made, through de.
partmental and other agencies, and have
received returns which will be submit.

ingness TO assist us.
THE farmers, aided by nature, have
made a magnificent response to the APP
reals of the president for increased pro-
luction. Not only is there a prospect
# large crops of certain staple products
nut it is apparent that there will be a
PARTICULARLY large output this year of
'erishables. Many agencies throughout
he country have especially urged the
ieople, not only in the country districts
ut also in urban communities, to plant
ardens. There is therefore not only an
increased production in the usual areas
mt a considerable addition in these new
laces.

Paige Six Makes Fine
Economy Fuel Test Run

How far will a seven-passenger
six-cylinder car, carrying normal
load. travel on q gallon of gasoline?
Opinions vary on this important
matter of economy. generally ac-
cording to the make of the car. the
grade of gasoline and the operating
conditions. A well-known Paige
dealer, however, determined TO settle
the matter so far as Paige six
81" Is concerned and made an in
teresting test under conditions which
were as nearly normal as possible. I
The result was an excellent fuel
economy record, the big Paige turn
ing just seventeen miles fiat. This
record is all the more interesting
when it is recalled that recently a
Paige Six achieved new record by
turning in a score of 626.2 miles in
"a hours on high gear.
The car chosen for the fuel
economy test had been driven q little
more than 1900 miles and no spe-
cial preparation was made except
to be assured that the cylinders were
free from carbon and the plugs
clean. The speedometer had been
officially tested before the run was
made That no special carburetor
adjustment was made to give an
abnormally lean mixture was proved

FARMERS WILL
DISCUSS CROPS
Important Spring Meeting
Will Be Held at Dubois
During Coming Week

Sessions of the farmers annual
spring institute and the spring meet
ing of the State Board OF Agricul-
ture at Dubois next week will be
largely devoted TO ways and means
to increase the food supply. The
sessions will be the first to be held
in Western Pennsylvania for some
time and will begin on Tuesday and
continue until Thursday evening.
Several experts and the State farm
advisers will attend the meetings to-
gether with officials of the State De-
partment of Agriculture.
Next to ways to increase the
acreage of food crops and the sup
ply of labor the meetings will be
interesting because of the legislation
pending to change the administra-
tive methods of the department. The
various bills will be discussed and
the members of the State Board,
which it is proposed to give greater
power in the department will give
their views.
1t is expected that the meetings
will recommend the continuance of
farmers institutes and the extension
o fthe farm adviser service together
with the building up of the statis-
tical end of the department which
is handling the crop reports.
