FEWER FARMERS NO REASON TO WORRY OVER FooD SUPPLY (Continued From First Page) council and the progress of the United States department of com- merce survey of New England were made. ‘The council at its executive ses- sion yesterday voted to continue this survey for six months and to spend an additional $5,000 for the work. Dr. Lipman’s Tzaik The day of self-sufficient agricul- ture is largely gone, according to Dr. Lipman, who sald: “Our indus- tries are creating commodities easily, efficlently and cheaply. The crude and painful methods of the self- sufticient farmer must suffer in com- potition with the centralized and well organized manufacturing enter- prises. An endless number of com- modities have come farmer long days of toil and effort. They have made it unnecessary for the farmer to be a jack of all trades. They have encouraged him to spe- cialize. “Fconomically, New England may galn more than she loses by trading the output ot her shops and factories for food and other agricultural pro- ducts. It is evident that we are at- tempting to farm too much land. Much land now in farms should be range and forest. Only the best land should be utilized for farming and that intensively.” ynthetlc Chemistry Developments in engineering call for far-reaching ad- justments in American social “Bynthetic chemist has released many thousands of acres from the service which at one time they ren- dered. The chemist will show the fatmer how to release large acreage of land for other purposes. The mechanlcal and electrical engineer will find new ways labors of the farmer, to ra his standards of living and to make the farm environment more attractive to th who live in the country. Hence, as we attempt to organize a group of technical experts for studying qur agricultural problems as a part of the larger national problems, we should look far enough ahead in order that we might plan carefully, in order that we might plan with faith and vislon. New England, like other regions in the United States, should provide for a thorough going study of its eco- nomic resources and should assign | in this study a proper placs for agri- culture and its needs.” Lack of intelligent buying and ing is the major cause of mortality of the trades and industry, according to Dr. Julius Klein, chief of the United States bureau of foreign and domestic commerce at Washington. His assertion was based on “explor ations of the life-cycles of trades and industries.” Causes of Failures. He said that the princlpal cause failure is ot found among the commonly accepted alibis for fail- si discrimina- ble raw materials, remot; of markets, ete. One of the outstanding needs for the maintenance of stable conditions in industry under commerce present, therefore, is the spread of applied research in marketing. Among the others speaking at this session were A. Lincoln ilene, of Boston, chairman of the research committee of the council, and Wal lace B. Donham, dean of the gradu- | ate school of business administra- tion at Harvard. The afternoon session will bs de- voted to discussions on selling New England and New England products, lcom‘nni“ sold 12 chemistry and | and | economie life,” Dr. Lipman setated. | to lighten the | ypical | | There will be two principal address- es and a number of scheduled ten minutes talks. | While there {s no reason to fail |to appreciate the high quality of | hundreds of research agencies now being conducted by trade assocla- | tions, universities and large indi- | vidual enterprises, Dr. Klein said | there is still a widespread need fot | the adaptation of thousands of mod. erately sized and smaller manufac- :tururs and distributors of the results achieved by these agencies — for a | greater appreciation, in other words, | of the fundamental principles of the | cconomy of knowledge in business | —the incalcuable sayings that can be eftected through more precise and | far-sighted marketing operation.

For instance, only re- cently have some of the sorely tried | shoe factories been able to smooth |out the deep semi-annual curves in | their productive activity in June and November by securing government | contracts for those months. A well | known manufacturer of higly sea- sonal sporting goods has recently put his factory upon a much more stable year-in and year-out basis by undertaking a new line of steel of- fice equipment. A well known fish packing plant, whose normal oper- ations were highly concentrated during the summer months, has ma- terially improved its stability by in- stalling equipment to be occupied with various by-products and related lines during the winter months. Merchandising Laboratory Based on the made the past , car of the merchan- dising of three New England pro- ducts—cotton dress goods, shoes and knitted underwear and hosiery—a plan to make New England a mer- chandising laboratory wherein the retailers may aesist the manufactur- ers in working out their merchandis- ing problems was presented to the conference today. The study was made by the research committee of the New England council, One of the steps in the | plishment of this purpose, urged by | the cor mittee, was closer contact | between New England manufactur- | ers and the retailers of their pro- ducts in order that the producers | might be more fully informed of the | d>mands of the consumers. Some of the Suggestions Some of the suggestions of this committee were: Emancipation from traditional ways of doing business; more attention by New England | manufacturers to “service” to dis- tribute; keeping all New England products .up. to date in accordance with present rapid changes in public | demand, and stimulation of demand | rather than waiting for it to devel- op; more co-operation between man- ufacturers and distributers and { among individual concerns in differ- ent industries and more vigorous | promotion of ticir industrial devel- | opment by New England communi- | ties through intelligent support of | existing industries and financing of | surveys and other proved means of | attracting new industries. | Mills Well Managed | New England mills, generally speaking, are well equipped and ef- | ficiently managed, William B.
