Marketing to Be Facilitated.
1.-The federal railway administration
is cooperating in the most active, IN
telligent and efficient way with the
food administration to remove the OIL
ficulties of transportation and of thu
active movement Of the crops. Theli
marketing is to be facilitated and
the farmers given the opportunity to
realize promptly upon their stocks.
"The department of agriculture and
the food administration will continue
to cooperate as heretofore to assist
the farmers in every way possible
All questions OF production, OF the
marketing of farm products, OF co1h
seryation in the course Of production
and of agricultural. labor and farm
problems generally, will be handle
by the department of agriculture
while all questions, of distribution o.
food supplies to the Allies and OF
conservation in consumption will be
handled by the food administration
but the chief reliance is upon the
farmer himself, and l am sure tina
that reliance will be justified by tn
results. The chief thing to be KEEP
clearly in mind is that regulation
of this sort are only part or thf
great general plan of mobilization
into which every element In the ma
ton enters in this war as In m
other. The business of war touche
everybody. 1t is a stern business, {
cooperative business, business OF
energy and sacrifice, business OF
service in the largest and best and
most stirring sense of that great
work."
