U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Econ

country as one of the foremost au-
thOrities on agricultural subjects is
one of the speakers who will be
heard.
Mr.. Tenny's address will outline
important features of the work of
the Bureau of Agricultural EcOno-
mics, which has grown to be one of
the most important and far-reaching
in the Department of Agriculture.
He will discuss important devel-
Opments in better marketing meth
DDS throughout the country includ-
ing Especially the establishment and
use Of better standards for both
grade and pack of agricultural and
horticultural products, and the rapid
expansion of market news reporting;
Standardization as the very corner
stone of successful marketing, and
the market news service as it allows
the producer and shipper to market
their products with eyes open, rather
than to shoot in the dark. /
Mr.. Tenny will emphasize the i'm
pOrtance of orderly production as
the first step in orderly marketing.
With this in view, the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics devotes a
large amount of time and effort to
systematic analysis of market de-
mands as a basis for production pro-
grams.
Mr.. Tenny will explain that the
work of the Federal Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics is designed, in
practically all of its phases, to dis
cover and formulate facts and prin-
ciples which, if properly utilized by
the individual producer, will enable
him to Shape his program so as to
meet foreseen conditions. Producers
who keep in touch with the work of
the Bureau will find much of the
hazard removed from agriculture as !
