FOOD ADMINISTRATOR
PRESCOTT SAYS TODAY

The chief limiting factors in hand
ling the huge quantities OF food re-
Quired for exports are transportation,
terminal and shipping facilities, and
In the case of live animals, slaughter
ing and packing equipment for taking
care of large market runs as fast as
received. 1t is important for farmers
to clearly understand that with large
production there must be rational mar
keting if stabilized prices are to be
maintained and waste avoided.
The part which conservation must
play in the food program is likewise
obvious. To provide by July /, 1919,
the 20 million tons Of food for over
seas shipment, a steady conservation
in American homes is essential. This
quantity OF food is rs per cent more
than we shipped last year and must
come from a harvest scarcely as large.
In general there is world market for
all staple foods with an increasing de-
mand tor animal products.
Farmers of long vision will recog.
nize that erratic prices, market gluts,
and local increase In reserves. must
be of temporary character, and that
conservation which enables the Unit
ed States to fulfill its food pledges,
means continued foreign trade In
American farm products
