ENDING WASTE

Dr. John r. Moher Of he [. s. DeparImont Of
Agriculture told tho Institute Of American Meat Pack
ers recently that the packing industry should aim at
these three Poas-lowlr prices to the consumer high
prices for the farm producer and good profit for
the packers and distributors
1t sounds as though an this would bo hard 10
achieve at once; but DIR. .ioh.cr i optimistic. Ihe
solution, he believes, lies il s.- .arogs phases Of the
business
With waste eliminated, he predicts, packers will b?
able to pay farmers for heir steers and hogs sell
them to the retailers at lower prices and at the same
time make as good profit they are making now,
If not better
The necessity Of eliminating waste is one which
has been brought to the attention oil all branches Of
American industry in recent years. More and more
it is becoming evident that is Of the business

Through the sublime efforts of

The women who have sacrificed

Such women have inspired men
