JARDINE REPORTS ON AGRIGULTURE Says Farming Positively Is on the Upgrade Washington, December 10.—(P— Agriculture Is unquestionably on the upward grade, as a result in a large measure of the intelligence, energy. and determination of themselves, Secretary in his annual report.

Since the depression period of 1920-21 every agricultural sec- | tion of the country and every branch |of ariculture have made progress Unfortunately, the recent slump in | cotton prices makes it doubtful | whether the crop ~ year of 1026-27 | will carry forward the story of im- | provement at the rate established in |the last few years.

Are Getting Results “Farmers are getting results from | the steps they took, following the | depression of 1924, to curtail over- | production and to bring' their lead- |ing enterprises into profitable bal- ance. Last year, however, it became | apparent that in most lines (cotton |being an outstanding exception) practicable readjustments in produc- tion had largely been made.” Turning to the surplus problem, Mr. Jardine sald he was convinced that through organized and well-di- rected efforts much more can be done than had hitherto been done to eliminate the recurring surpluses that prove so dertimental to the farming irdustry.

Farmer-con- trolled agencies, ke believed, could best effect an orderly flow of pro- ducts to market. “Legislative action should be de- signed to create and enlarge such agencles and supplement their of- forts,” sald Secretary Jardine. “No moditles and all regions. What is needed is concentrated and coordin- ated effort backed up by adequate resources. To do this may require further enabling legislation.” Declaring that farm prices, especlally in areas distant | from markets, are serlously depress- led by high freight rates, Mr. Jar- dine said it was his conviction there must be substantial rate readjust- ments.
