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. Lnc-d .-ownd

the use of an old brewery a- a sfoi age
warehouse for potatoes an i other
products grown by local in to'ie.

on shipped-in products.

throw away $700,000,000 worth

t food is wasted or spoiled In each $

he total loss is 1,300,000 pounds a t
