BIG WAR TASKS |
ARE UNDERTAKEN
> Bureau of Markets Is Organized
and Expanded for
i War Needs.
How the Bureau of Markets has organized
and expanded its work in order
better t/> aid farmers to meet un
usual marketing conditions is described
by David F. Houston Secretary
of Agriculture, in his annua! ivp>
rt just made public.
Many of the projects of the bureau
were redirected in order to deal more
effectively with emergency problem*.
The market news service for fruits
and vegetables, begun during the fiscal
year 1915, as well as that for live
stock and meats, which was inaugurated
in tile fist';;, year 1017, was do
\c'oped as rapidly as possible early in
the season with available funds. The
reports were particularly valuable in
connection with the shipment of perisnablc
products, and large numbers
took advantage of the timely information
furnished by them. During
the fiscal year 1917 approximately
r> 000,000 bulletins regarding e-er-lot
>r,ipments ;-.:ul jobbing prices of fruits
and vegetable* were distributed to
n, re than 52,000 individuals including
shippers, jobbt rs, distributor:;, and
receivers.
Market News Ser\ice ISnlatged.
An appropriation of $2,522,000 provided
for in the food production act
1
made possible a marked expansion ?.f
tho machinery of the bureau. The '
news services for fruits and vegetnbles
and for live stock and meats
wei'e still further developed and were
extended to include hay, grain, and
seeds, and dairy and poultry products
Three general reporting services, one
daily .and two weekly, are conducted
for perishables at 25 stations, as well
as a local service for truck crops in
certain cities.
iiit' nr.H tjuurw/ny report. O! uie
supply of wool was issued on July JO,
um\ represents, it is believed, most
complete inventory ever compiled
tile wool supply in the United States.
The importIng service for cold-storage
holding's was rapidly enlarged and ,
now includes 40 commodities. .
i Meat Trade Conditions Reported,
Branch offices are now maintained (
?at 12 important market centers to collect
and distribute current information
relative to supplies of live stock
?nd meats, demands, prices, and other
market conditions. Information on
wholesale meat-trade conditions is secured
daily from several of the largest
eastern meat consuming and distributing
centres, and a summary is
immediately forwarded to the central
live-stock markets in the West. Mo*< |
than (it) stockyard companies report 1
"their current live-stock receipts and
> ipmenls, and a ?animary of the
figures is issued after the first el I
each month. Biweekly reports aremade
on hay and grain for certain
.sections. A semi weekly statement of
bwan prices, demand, and movement
made, and plans have been completed
for issuing one each month on farm
d garden seeds.

importance of an agreement between

as the position of the raon
has lessened Trotzky's chances ul
obtaining a satisfactory peace, H?
says tliat if the Germans could bu>
off the Ukraine the significance witr
in Germany of Trotzky's stand woutc
