THE FOOD BILL,

In spite of the efforts which were made to delay action thereon, the lower house of congress has shown that it recognizes the need of rnaking g a serious start in regard to getting the situation well in hand relative to the food supply of the country. By the passage of the Lever bill an appro- prfatien is made for nearly cT5 900, = poo which will permit of a food cen rus of the entire country, which pro- vides for increasing production and which will result in the conservation of the supply and the prevention of waste It provides further for coop eration with state and local officers in contributing to the success of the movement and It plans for the inau- guration of a campaign for the eradt- cation of pests and diseases of plants and livestock
 This is an important step in regard to the regulation of food and farm products It is 1nspfrc0 by the knowledge that food conservation is net practiced as it should be, that food speculators are causing a hardship to many people and that the problem which is faced by this country of looking out for the requirements along this line of the people of the United @AMtes and 50 far as possible those
