FARMERS IN NEED
 OF ORGANIZATION,
 HOUSTON URGES
Stresses Particularly Need of Increased Production of Beef and Fats-Larg-
 CT Demand Certain

Washington, November I2.-Secretary Houston in a statement today urged that steps be taken to secure the better or ganization of the agricultural forces ot the country, especially of the local farm bureaus. in preparation for the execu- tion of the necessary production pro- gramme for 19l9 He dwelt especially upon the need for an increased produc- ton of beef and fats, saying that 1t seems clear that, for a considerable period the world will demand particularly a larger supply than normal of these com modities.
 During the war" said Mir Houston,
 the farmers of the nation have re- sponded magnificently to the appeals for increased production and all the people have complied with the urgent requests for fuller conservation. During this pres ent fall season our farmers have planted an increased wheat acreage and a large
 acreage in rye.
 Tt is too early now to make detailed
 suggestions for the spring planting sea
 sons.
 Two things, however seem to be clear.
 One is that, for a considerable period,
 the world will have need particularly ot larger supply than normal of dive StOCk, anu tSpSCidllS Ol heeI ana latS, We should not fail. therefore, to adopt every feasible means of economically increasing our live stock products. As a part of our programme, we should give due thought to the securing of an ade- quate supply of fee dstuffs and to the eradication and control of all forms of animal disease
 The other is the need of perfectins the organization of our agricultural agencies for the purpose of intelligently executing such programme as may seem wise. We should not only have the best possible organization and CO., opera tion of the department of agriculture the agricultural colleges the state de partment of agriculture and farmers as. sociations, but we should especially strengthen the local farm bureaus ane other organizations which support so eff | Actively the extension of forces an6 | assist them in .their activities The loca as well as the state and federal agen- 1 eies are of supreme importance to tn, nation in all it's activities designed tt make rural life more profitable, health l ful and attra ctive, and therefore to SC
