of the difficulty in arriving at fair

Wholesale Price Ham
on Decline Is Word
Secretary Agriculture

Boston, Sept. 22.-Secretary OF Ag-
riculture Wallace sent the following
despatch concerning the prices Of
ham to the Boston representatives Of
the Department today:
"Wholesale prices OF ham have
dropped from two to five cents a
pound in the last two or three weeks.
The amount of the drop varies some
what in different cities. The decline
is due to the heavy receipts of hogs
at the principal markets and the
slowing down of the export trade,
due in part to cool weather in Eng
land. Consumers should, therefore,
be able to buy choice ham now at
two to five cents a pound less than
few weeks ago.
In this connection 1t is interesting
to note that the scientists of the De-
partment of Agriculture who have
been studying different foods recent
ly reported that tests of fresh ham.
smoked ham and pressed boiled ham
all indicated that ham is relatively
rich in vitamines, those mysterious
beneficial elements which have been
found to he so necessary to the most
yigorus health.
