U. S. AGRICULTURE
SHOWING PAST YEAR
GENERALLY GOOD
NEED FOR UNITY OF ACTION
RECOGNIZED BUT OPINIONS
DIFFER
WASHINGTGON, Dec. 19. The
showing for agriculture in general for
the year has been good, Secretary
Jardine told President Coolidge in
his annual report, but much remains
to be done before the position of the
farmer will cease to be a problem.
“While farmers themselves are re
ducing their costs of production thru
increased efficiency,” Mr. Jardine
said, “public agencies should co-oper
ate with them in effecting a better
adjustment of production to demand.
Also, efforts should be made to di
minish waste, to lesen margin be
tween producers’ and consumers’
prices, to reduce transportation and
distribution costs, and to lessen the
farmer’s overhead charges by lower
ing or redistributing tax burdens and
by improving agricultural credit fa
cilities. Farmers should be encour
aged to enhance their bargaining
power thru cooperative marketing,
and the responsibility of the public
in helping to reduce price fluctua
tions due to unavoidable glut^ and
shortages of agricultural products
should be recognized in a practical
manner.”
The need for unity of action in ag
riculture is generally recognized but
opinions differ as to means of get
ting it, the Secretary said.
AWAITING PILE-DRIVER
Bridge timbers are being framed
oa tlie Mile 3 1-2 bridge but the earri

NOT GETTING OLD
“Bud” Irvo Dyer, champion handball
