Correspondence.
The correspondence of this division
is constantly increasing as the farmers
are more and more coming to use US as
lis taxing to the utmost the ability of
our small Office force.
we wish TO cali your attention TO
the fact that the marketing work in
this 1ate is equally as important, IL
not more so. than the production and
that with the limited means at the
disposal OF this division we are not
nearly able to do the work for the
farmers of the state that we know
should be done and would be able TO
do with the proper facilities
when we consider that hundreds Of
thousands of dollars are spent an
nually to help the farmers in produce
ing their crops. the appropriation de-
voted TO helping them sell these crops
profitably seems pitifuliy small and
out OF proportion.
Our work is new in this state. and
for that matter. in any state Sir~'
ginia was the third state In the union
to undertake this work and II has, of
course. taken some time To get our
work organized and In good running
order. We feel. however. that we have
rendered valuable service to the farm
ers of the state and with their full co..
operation and backing Will be able TO
improve on this service until the farm
err gets his just share Of the con-
sumers' dollar"
