AS REM FOR HIGH COST OF UHG Mrs. Zinn Divorced From Gridiron Hero Evidence Secured by Detective Who Follows Husband—Both Promi nent in Social Lite. i| IT’ Steel Trust Urges Men to Drink Milk Co-operation Keynote for Farm and City Is Chief- Recommendation in Report of New York Delegation W hich Studied the Subject Abroad. NW rORK, Dec. 20.—Forming an exhaustive study of agricultural con ditions abroad, comparative with those of tills country, the report of the New York State delegation of the American Commission will be presented simultaneously with the presentation to Congress of the re port of the Federal commission. report, which is the result of ♦ he work of the American Commis sion abroad, was compiled after in vestigations which extended through y nIl re the British Isles, Germany, - itzerland. Italy, Austria, and even \ far a way 2s Egypt. it arrives at . general conclusion that American fanning may be pushed to a higher degree of development by adopting ,operative measures similar to those employed In many foreign countries and which have reached their most efficient condition In France. This, in effect, is the real solution of the high cost of living problem, the commis sioners believe. The Member*. It was prepared by Frederick H. Allen, Robert B. VanCortlandt, C. C. Mitchell and Professor George N. Lauman It says, In part: Some of the points that strike an American most forcibly In European agriculture are: * “The high price of land, which sells for *40 an acre for pasturage in such countries as Ireland, to $3,000 an acre for the best orange groves in Spain and Italy. Vinyard lands in France, Italy and Spain sell at $1,500 and $2,- oo,‘ whereas cultivated lands adjacent are worth only $125 to $500 an acre, * and cultivtaed land in Germany $80 to $500 an acre. "The high price of such products as wheat, which sells at $1.60 a bushel, nd beef, which sells at 16 cents a pound, dressed weight, in Italy, and proportionately high in the other Eu ropean countries. The only cheap farm products are fruit, wine, olive oil and eggs. Grain Is raised every where and often ground into flour in co-operative mills. Milk Is distrib uted economically and is cheap; poul try also. "Co-operative societies exist in all the countries, especially among the farmers, for the purchase of seed, fertilizers, agricultural machinery and other things. Only recently have marketing societies been established for the pale of farm products. Never theless some of them have attained marvelous results and their rate of progress Is notable. "Most of the European countries have built up agriculture through as sociations highly developed, France having attained probably the most success through this method. Grange Idea Improved Upon. 'The Syndicates Agrlcolee and their affiliated societies correspond to the granges in America, but differ from them in their perfection of business organization and the re markable success achieved In up building the commercial side of agri culture. The general object of these Is to study and protect the economic interests of the farmers. They ex amine and point out all legislative end other reforms and improved methods; uphold their cause before ’he governing bodies; claim their realization, especially as regards the charges that weigh on land; the tar iffs of the railways, commercial treaties, customs and octroi duties, the rights of stalls and fairs and mar kets. "They spread agricultural teaching and knowledge of farming by courses of Instruction, lectures, distribution of leaflets and establishment of libra ries. They encourage essays on cul tivation, on machines, perfected im plements and everything which facil itates work, reduces the cost and In creases the production. Furnish Credit. “They start and support institu tions for agricultural credit, for pi\- duction and sale, for insurance against fire and accidents; establish offices of information as to supply and demand, produce, fertilizers, cat tle, seeds and agricultural machines. “They become agents for the sale of produce, for the purchase of fer tilizers, seeds, implements, live stock and all raw or manufactured mate rials, so as to profit the members. They supervise deliveries made by or to Its members, so as to secure hon esty and repress fraud. "As an outgrowth of the agricul tural purchasing societies, associa tions for rural credit, mutual insur ance against damage of crops and ac cidents to live stock, stock breeders' and cow-testing associations have been formed. In making its recommendations the commission says; "It needs a readjustment of existing methods in distributing, marketing and delivery’ of farm products, par ticularly that part which takes place between the city terminals and the consumer. "Co-operation is needed among con sumers in purchasing their supplies at wholesale and an effort on their part to simplify deliveries so as tc eliminate rehandling and overlapping. "Co-operation is needed among the producers in wholesale purchase of supplies, study of market require ments, standardization or produce, full carload shipment and cold storage collecting stations. "Conservation of soil fertility is re quired, reafforestation, development of water power, adaptation of crops to locality and market and mtr inten sive methods of cultivation. Accounting Needed. "Industrialization and commercial ization of agricultural business is needed; keeping accounts and regu lating operations accordingly and not waiting for the end of the year, but checking up frequently, as contract ors do. * "We need a more reasonable stand ard for the quality and purity of milk and a better regulation of the cold storage of eggs and butter. “Simpler and cheaper means of borrowing money for the acquiring of farm land, for permanent Improve ments and also for seasonable opera tion. "Better roads In the country, par ticularly the side roads which branch out to the farms away from the State roads. Farm Demonstrations. "Practical demonstration on the farm of what It is possible to do un der average conditions in farming for profit. "An open market for all farm wroduce In the large consuming cen ters, where the fanners can send their commodities and be sure of having them placed at the disposition of the consumers wlthotu being held for ! speculation.
