sented by the best informed man
in the United States today, Secre-
tary of Agriculture +. I. Mere
deth, publisher of farm journals
and deep student of economic
problems relating to production.
Secretary Meredith came to
California in connection with his
candidacy for President. but his
plain talks before big groups of
business men here have made a
profound impression regardless 70
any political significance.
What can we do to help the
farnner?" asked the big manufac-
turers, realizing that not only
their prosperity but the nations
soundness depends on the farmers
ability to produce.
Cities Close to Starvation.
Here in brief Is Secretary Mere
dith's answer:
First. Help the Department OF
Agriculture. Congress curtailed
our work $4,000 900 this year. in
spite of our savings amounting TO
millions in animal diseases, new
methods, and research.
Second. Reduce the demands
for the products of city labor. SO
the farmer can have the labor. II
is better to wear our old clothes
than be short of food next winter
or the winter following.
third. Help reduce the cost OF
distribution. II six men out OF
every ten are busy distributing
what the other four produce then
each of the ten can only have
four-tenths of what each produces
This applies to the 10000 00C
people in the United States. and il
means that it's every mans bust
ness to see that there be no drones
in his hive and that as many as
possible be put to producing.
'The cities outside the packing
centers have enough meat in theil
limits for perhaps four days, fioul
for a few weeks, and fruit and
vegetables for one day. You car
see how vitally the welfare Of ths
farmer affects the city dwelier. and
how soon shortage of production
on the farm will begin to pinch the
pot in the kitchen"
