FAQS TWO HOW CITIES TACKLE LOCAL FOOD PROBLEM Produce Pelade and Sold to Consumers from Municipal Farm ONE CITY NOW OPERATES STALLS Running Opposition or Rather in Competition With Retail ers in Same Trades. That municipalities are tackling their local food problems in a variety of ways, some of them unusual, is evidenced by reports received by the city marketing division of the Bureau of Markets, United States Department of Agriculture. From establishing curb markets, remodeling, or building retail market houses, efforts of cities have expanded until some arc actually selling food supplies, while one city of about f>5,000 population is operating a farm and selling produce from it at retail. How One City Sells Food Houston, Tex., which has a municipally owned retail market house, has taken over three stalls in the building and is handling fi*uits and vegetables in competition with its tenants. In order to he fair to other retailers it charges itself with all overhead ex penses paid by other dealers, including rent, and also pays wages higher than those paid in other stalls. Reports on 10 weeks operation of the city-managed stalls show that it is possible to buy and sell produce in competition with local merchants at both a direct and indirect saving to consumers. The experiment is to bo enlarged to include food products other than fruits and vegetables an I is said to be already serving as a stabilizing; influence on prices in tiv.t city market. Competing merchants have become interested in the methods of doing business of the cityoperated stalls and appear anxious to try out practices that would enable them to lower their prices. A City Goes Into Farming. All en town, Pa., has gone into farming on a farm acquired for other purposes which, through changes in ivh*.nicipal plans, was lying* idle. Under the direction of one of the city a'dor* men this 'arm is producing vegetables and selling thorn at e' tij i competition with shipped-in produce. The farm also feeds 1,000 e; J hogs on city garbage.
