COOLIDGE URGES
REIMBURSEMENT IN
FARMING METHODS

Washington, Nov. 13.-President
Coolidge declared In an address to-
night before the annual meeting "
the Association of Land Grant Coll
leges that the government would
omit no effort to prevent a repetition
of recent misfortune involving agri-
culture but asserted that the farmer
also must readjust his method of
production and marketing until he
comes within sight of the new day"
1t was the first public address Mr..
Coolidge has MADE since the election
and was devoted to a discussion of
agriculture which is the principal
subject before the college represen-
tatives at their conference. The
president expects to outline his views
of farming conditions more extern
sively next Monday in opening the
conference of the agriculture COM
mission which he recently appointed
to formulate Recommendations for
the permanent sterilization of the in
dustry.
The immediate problem, the presi-
dent said In his address tonight, Is
to bridge over the difficulties result
ing from abnormal and war-stimu-
lated SURPRISES while. he added, pre-
paration must be made also for the
time fast approaching when we are
likely to be one of the greatest of
the agricultural buying nations"
The hope lies, he declared, in or
Ganization and methods which look
to economies and efficiencies in pro-
ducinC and distribution.
Meanwhile. the president urged
that the educators and farm leaders
turn their attention TO scientific
marketing. The agriculture problem
today. he insisted, is not on the
side OF production but on the side
of distribution. Too little thought
has been given to this phase, he add
cd.
