DUNLAP PREDICTS
FARM PROSPERITY
Tells Rhode island Confer
enCe Great Success for Agri-
culture Is Assured.
BY the Associated Press.


PROVIDENCE, f, T., December q
An optimistic note with respect to the
future of the American farmer was
sounded today by Assistant Secretary
+. w. Dunlap of the Department of
Agriculture, here to speak before the
Rhode Island agricultural conference.
Informed agriculturists, he said. in
prepared address, are of the opinion
that the next to Is years will see
American farming advance into a pc
riod of remarkable prosperity. He de
clared that evidences of this could al
ready be seen. asserting that with the
possible exception of the Eastern corn
belt. the country's ma jOr agricultural
sections today were in the best condi-
ton they have enjoyed since 1920.
Admits Success Is Slow.
Although admitting that the i'm
provement had been slow, he eX-
pressed the belief that the farmer will
hold the ground he has gained and
gradually make further advances.
"The farmer of the future" he as
serted. will most certainly have more
to be thankful for than the farmer Of
the recent past. Agriculture
in this country is, always has been.
and, / believe, always will be, sound,
solvent business"
Turning to the problems of the New
England farmers. Mr.. Dunlap said
their greatest advantage is in the
nearness of their markets. in spite of
the influence that such proximity
might have on the wages and supply
of farm labor.
Basis of Success.
"Your progress in agriculture, he
declared will depend in large meas
ure upon your ability to shape your
production and adapt your marketing
practices and organiza tons so as to
meet the needs of these nearby mar
kets for high quality products of a
perishable or semiperishable char
acter."
For Rhode Island he recommended
particularly forestry program,
hacked by "adenlIate forestry laws"

PLANNING A WEEKS FOOD

There Is no radical change in the
general character Of the meals for the
week. One has tried to bring about
the changes by means of using a
crabmeat cocktail, for example, In
place of soup and by a judicious varia-
ton in the use of soups. Speaking
of appetizers or cocktails. there is
quite a wide range in which the house
wife may exercise her ingenuity about
this matter of the first course of the
meal. Chiefly, I suggest that when
the stimulating touch of hot broth
or soup is in order, as on very cold
night or If members of the family are
fatigued for any reason, such
appetizers as cocktails be discarded
The chief service rendered by these
is when touch of appetiZing variety
is more required than simplicity and
nourishing qualities. For vegetable
soups may. as my readers know, be
made to contribute quite a goodly
share of the food value of the meal
Then it is possible to have more

oranges or tangerines will make the
everyday orange juice seem all the
more attractive when we go back to

Since last week prices have huctu'
ated very little. Good beef is very
scarce. and. of course, governed by
supply and demand, is higher than
usual. On the other hand, home
dressed pork is cheaper. Cranberrles,
which sold for 20 cents quart last
week, are bringing 25 cents this week.
The warm weather caused the egg
market to be rather wobbly, according
to dealers in that commodity, out Dut'
ter is firm. There are no new items
on the local market save a new crop
of California honeydews, which are
bringing so cents to 81, according to
size. and California lima beans, which
have appeared for the first time in the
memory of dealers. The limas are
selling for $1.75 shelled. String beans
are unusually low at present and bring

coming scarcer There are still
few extra large California oranges
to be had at IS cents apiece. The ordl'

or less stable. Tasty pork rolls, very
palatable for light luncheons, are at
tractive to the eye and sell for DO cents

use may be had, varying in species
and price. Few pumpkins are moving,

WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
