MEAD ASKS FARM ORGANIZATION PLAN
Commissioner of Reclamation
 Addresses Realtors Today

Boston, June 28 (UP)-A plea for farm reconstruction through or ganized aid was made by Dr. Elwood Mead, United States commissioner of reclamation in the department of interior, at the convention of the National Association of Real Estate Boards here today.
 Such reconstruction, he thought, was the intelligent panacea for treatment of the farm situation, which must be regarded as a multi tude of problems demanding care, thought and an intelligent plan of action if they were to be solved.
 "We are giving up the idea that each farmer can be law to him. self and ignore his neighbors." he said. "We are beginning to cooper ate and think and act as communi- ties. The farmer must plan to oper- ate his farm as factories are operat- ed; he must study efficiency in farm operations and when and where to market his products. He must do this because the rewards of farming no longer come through increases in land value, but rather from growing more and better crops and combin- ing with neighbors to create mar kets and ship in car lots."
 Harland H. Allen, Chicago econ omist, told the convention the build- ing industry "appears to be one of the substantial assurances we have against business depression and one of the most buoyant and effective means of all the sustaining forces for national prosperity and high standard of living"

 Finally yesterday he stopped in front of q store in the negro quarter and wiped precipitation from his brow. His quest was in grave danger of going on the rocks.
