opportunities and requirements Of
the New England market for quail
ity farm products. To impress upon
both consumer and producer the i'm
portance of Identification Of New
England-quality farm products, and
the adequate protection of such
Identification.
1.-THE New England farmer today
is not getting the full advantage of
his nearness to a rich market for
quality farm products, and New
England consumers, on the other
hand, are not getting the full bene-
fit of the capacity of New England
farms to furnish quality products
for their home tables. The confer
ence will. it is hoped. make for i'm
provement in both these conditions"
