scribed 10 the NATIONAL Agricultural

the outlook in the cotton growing
states
Machinery must be provided. he
continued, to meet changed conditions
in the consuming foreign markets and
in domestic markets.
I'VE must recognize" he added. "the
necessity of selling our agricultural
products more gradually than we did
in former years. and the correspond
ing necessity of carrying our COM
modities for a longer period of market
ing. We need the machinery that will
make possible a twelve months mar
keting of our annual production"
The European situation and it's rela-
ton to American agriculture was dis
cussed by G. f. Warren, Of ithaca, n.
Y, who said agriculture in Europe
was getting back to normal much
more rapidly than other industries
England was prohibiting the importa-

giving her farmers practical monop-
oily IN supplying the best meat.

ed, great impetus had been given to

Farmers of America need accurate
information of European problems
and consumptive needs. he declared
The drop in the price, of farm prod
ucts for example, he continued, did
not come in the allied and neutral
countries until last summer one year
after the drop here, and they are still
much higher as compared with pre-
war prices than in the United States
"It would have been OF great interest

While the Debating process is goine
