United States department of COM
merce survey of New England were
made.
The council at its executive ses-
sion yesterday voted to continue
spend an additional $4,000 for the
work.
DIR. Lipman's Talk
The day Of sufficient agricul-
ture Is largely gone, according to
DR.. Lipman. who said: Our indus
tries are creating commodities easily.
efficiently and cheaply. The crude
and painful methods of the self
sufficient farmer must suffer in COM
petition with the centralized and
we'll organized manufacturing enter
prises. An endless number Of COM
modities have come to save the
farmer long days of toll and effort.
They have made It unnecessary for
the farmer to be jack of all trades.
They have encouraged him to spe-
cialize.
Economically, New England may
gain more than she loses by trading
the output OF her shops and factories
for food and other agricultural pro-
ducts. 1t Is evident that we are at
tempting to farm too much land.
Much land now In farms should be
range and forest. Only the best land
should be utilized for farming and
that intensively."
Synthetic Chemistry
Developments In chemistry and
engineering call for far-reaching ad-
iustments in American social and
economic life," DR.. Lipman stated.
synthetic chemistry has released
many thousands of acres from the
service which at one time they rem
dered. The chemist will show the
farmer how to release large acreage
of land for other purposes. The
mechanical and electrical engineer
will find new ways to tighten the
labors of the farmer, to raise his
standards of living and to make the
farm environment more attractive to
those who live in the country.
Hence, as we attempt to organize
a group Of technical experts for
studying our agricultural problems
as part of the larger national
problems, we should look far
enough ahead in order that we might
plan carefully, in order that we
might plan with faith and vision.
New England, like other regions In
the United States, should provide for
a, thorough going study OF its eco
nomic resources and should assign
in this study proper place for agri-
culture and it's needs"
Lack OF intelligent buying and SELL
ing is the major cause of mortality
of the trades and industry, according
to DR.. julius Klein. chief of the
United States bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce at Washington
His assertion was based on "explor-
ations of the life-cycles of typical
trades and industries"
Causes Of Failures.
He said that the principal cause
of failure Is mot found among the
commonly accepted alibis for fail
ures excessive wages, discrimina-
tory freight rates, inaccessible raw
materials, remoteness of markets.
etc. One of the outstanding needs for
the maintenance Of stable conditions
in industry under commerce at
present, therefore, is the spread OF
applied research in marketing.'
Among the others speaking at this
session were A. Lincoln Filene, OF
Boston, chairman of the research
committee OF the council, and Wal
lace B. Donham, dean Of the gradu'
ate school Of business administra.
