Conserving Farm Products and Ami

Under the food production bill the departments work for the cOnserVa- tion of farm products, including live stock, will be greatly extended. The states relations service will add to it's staff many county and city agents who will give instructions and dem onstra tions to all parts of the coun try in canning, drying, and the prepa- ration of food prOducts in other forms which will protect them against spoil age. The bureau of markets will seek to reduce losses due to faulty handl- ing, packing shipping and marketing 1 The bureau of plant industry will en- deaVOr to arouse interest in the natu- ral storage during the fall and winter months of seTni-perishab!e products.

The Next Popular Loan.

Secretary McAdoo is putting out an other Liberty Loan feeler. Not long ago Washington dispatches suggested a second bond issue at the same 9 1-2 per cent. interest rate. This evoked no enthusiasm and the report was of fciaily denied. Now the suggestion Is for new loan at 1 or possibly 4 1-2 per cent. This. under the terms of the first loan would automatically in- crease the interest rate on the origi- nal bonds to the same figure. It Is suggested that the new issue may be made subject to state and municipal taxes but left exempt from federal taxes. This would serve to increase the value of the original bonds which are exempt from taxes of s.iy kind exr cept inheritance taxes. There Is no doubt that further bond issues must be made in the not distant future and if this feeler brings indications of aD- provai from the banking experts of the country it will very likely be car

 also is distinct from the food control 1 bill, a measure having to do chiefly with the regulation of the distribution
 of food.
 To Increase County Agent Force. | One of the most important steps to i be taken in the emergency agricultural work will be the extension of the ex- isting force of county agents-the
 joint field employees of the department and the states who come into most direct contact with farmers. With the addition of the new county agents an
 agent will be situated in practically
 every agricultural county in the
 United States that will corporate to advise and assist farmers in every way possible on matters of production, con-
 servation and marketing. The number of women county agents in rural coun- ties will be considerably increased and other women agents will be placed in a number of the larger towns and cities. These women will stimulate the production of garden truck, poultry and other products by women and chill dren. and will advise and instruct in regard to the most efficient methods of food utilization and conservation.
 To Attack Labor and Food Problems.
 Under the food production bill the office of farm management of the de- partment. in cooperation with the United States department of labor, will extend the farm help activities which farm Ia borers and the farmers who most need them have been brought together during the present sea son. he emergency projects to be carried is a quick survey of the food situa- tion This activity will be for the purpose of ascertaining as accurately as possible the condition of the coun- trY's food stores and the normal con sumption, in order that such action as may be necessary@to insure a suffi- cient supply may be taken intelligent iy Farm stocks and supplies in re- tail stores and in the hands of con- sumers will be estimated. and stocks 1 held by wholesale, jobbirg, storing. manufacturi and other commercial i asta ablishmentS will be enumera ted.

l Tn addition to the activities under he three projects mentioned, special l work will be undertaken by many of | the bureaus and offices of the depart | ment of agriculture in the interest of 1 increased production and for the con l servation, protection and improved ! handling and marketing Of crops and livestock. The bureau of animal in dustry will seek to bring about in ] creased production of hogs and poul- 1 try, the two livestock products capable l of most rapid increase. The agents of this bureau also will locate suTpluses i of hogs in heavy producing areas and farmers in other sections of the coun try with good facilities for hog raising in the effort to bring about more eco nOnlical distribution of hogs Efforts also will be made indirectly to in crease animal production by combating animal diseases and pests, especially
 hog cholera, tuberculosis and the cat
 tie tick, which causes losses aggregat-
 Ing millions of dollars annually. The
 bureau also will endeavor to stimulate
 the increased production 3nd utiliza- tion of dairy food, and will carry on campaign for the more general produc- ion of infertile eggs.
 The bureau of entomology will ex- tend it's activities in the field to pro- tect crops and livestock. It will assist in organizing communities for combat ing insect pests, both of crops and livestock.
 Marketing Assistance to be Extended
 Producers will be given advice by the Bureau of Markets regarding i'm proved methods of packing and hand ling food products. The bureau also will extend it's market news services to include grain, hay, and seeds, dairy and poultry products, and to cover more fully vegetables and fruits and meats and meat products. and will as sist in solving local truck marketing problems. These services will make public facts as to supply, demand and movement of food products, intended to help in the elimina tion of the lost motion and economic waste existing in the marketing machinery of the country. The bureau also will help producers and consumers to form di- rect business relations through the parcel post.
 With the extra funds furnished by the bill the bureau of plant industry will greatly increase it's war against destructive plant diseases which an- nually bring about the loss of consid- erable proportions of the crops of the country. The bureau also will seek to bring about increased conservat tion of food products by encouraging natural storage and drying of the products best suited to these methods of pres ervation.
