"No town resi dent has the right to bemoan high prices for foodstuffs while a single city lot remains unfilled; while no preparation is made for preserving food for winter, and while no com mon meeting place is provided where producers may sell direct to consum ers." This is the statement of Prof. H. C. Filley, of the farm management de partment of the University of Ne braska, who declares that the problem of lowering the cost of living and in creasing the supply of food of the country is "up to the city man" rather than the American farmer. Prof. Filley points out that the farmer has been producing to tha limit set by available land, available labor, and the probable price products will bring. "Farm labor has been so scarce that the whole family must work early and late during the grow ing season," says he. "The next move is up to the city man." Three ways city folks can do their bit" in agricultural production, are pointed out by Prof. Filley. Members of the city family have time to spare for gardening, while the lanners family has little time for intensive culture. The farmer cannot let a four-horse team stand idle to pick beans and onions. Easy distribution of farm products through municipal markets, box car selling, etc., as a means of "direct to the consumer" selling, is a second way city folks can reduceliving costs, according to Prof. Filley. Preservation of food in the season of plenty for use in the season of scarcity is the third means advocated foT remedying the food shortage. The country housewife does a great deal of canning, and her city cousin must follow, as far as possible. Wisconsin Holds Option On Seed Potato Supply Lincoln, April 25. (Special.)
