Prof. E. G.. Nourse Tells Zonta
Club Luncheon Industry Needs
Closer Cooperation.

American agricultural conditions
are entirely different from the agri-
cultural conditions of all other coun-
tries in the world. and the United
States has attained a higher standard
OF living for rural dwellers than has
ever been attained anywhere else at
aPy time" said Prof. f. G. Nourse,
foi merly of Iowa State Agricultural
College, who has just come to Wash :
ington in addressing the members of
the Zonta Club of business women
at their weekly luncheon, In the Men s
City Club Sunday afternoon. Mr..
Nourse is now with the Institute of
Agricultural Economics OF the Car
negie Institute of Washington.
Ife spoke principally on the prob
lens of having farming recognized
as an industry, to be placed on the
same level with the steel and coal
industries and of the development of

Problem of Oats Crops.
"One of the most interesting cases
that illustrates the subject OF agrt-
cultural economics is the problem of
the oats crops Of Iowa and surround
ing states of the middle west" said
Mr.. NourSe. I'm the days of horse =
cars and horSr-dra wn vehicles OF all
sorts, lsrior to the development of the
automobile, oats were greatly needed.
and the crops proved IA successful
product to raise on the soil in these
localities Now. however, the supply
of oats far exceeds the demand, and
the problem of what to raise on these
lands involves the study of soil con-
ditionS. study OF the market and,
primarily, cooperation between the
Individual farmer and his state col
lege experts. This oats problem az
fsrts nearly 500. eco farmers in the
United States. 3.000 of whom are in
.the state of Iowa alone. This gives
aa idea of the scope of economical
survey work along agricultural lines
Mr.. NourSsa further advocated the
establishment of u trade body, an
AGRICULTURAL chamber OF commerce
for each locality to handle slmiiar
problems of production, sale ana con-
sumerS interests.
