'Fellow Food Administrators:
"It is gratifying in the extreme to
greet so many OF you here today. This
county food administrator is the most
important factor III the United States
food administration It's success, Its
proper solution OF the many problems
constantly pressing upon 1t, its re.
Spouse to the needs of the hour, de-
pend very largely upon the zeal, the
efficiency the energy and the loyalty
of the county food administrators. Our
organization in any county is just what
the local food administrator makes L.
In those counties whsre we have active
and Jealous representatives We find
our regulations observed and our rules
respected. The state food administra.
ton sitting In its offices at Nashville.
with its force limited, cannot, in the
very nature OF things. know what Is
going on down In the counties. It must
depend upon you gentlemen. In coun'
ties where our organization IL weak
lacking In energy, in loyalty and In
whole-heartsd consecratiorf TO the m.
ton, we find little conservation OF
food; our regulations are treated with
contempt and the whole food admins
ration Is looked upon as a sort Of In
tangible something to be respected
only by those whose tastes OF apostles
conform to Its will
For these reasons say-snd say Il
deliberately-that the county food ad,
ministrator who is doing his whole
duty to the food administration, to his
nation and to humanity in this erisiA
who Is devoting his time and his en- |
ergies to the work Of the food admins

regulations, ready at all times TO ca.
