Just been established by Secretary
Houston. The secretary and l?r. T. N.
Carver of Harvard. who In at the head
of the new work, are confident of
splendid result*.
The rural organization serrlco will
work In closest co-operation with the
newly created division of markets,
which will devote its energies primar
ily to problems connected with the
marketing of farm products at a profit.
In tunny Instances it Is not the lack of
i market that prevents the farmer
from turning over a profit, but Inabil
ity to utilize the menus for reaching
the market.

students of fann economics in general

bnslie-m enterprise. Also It Is the re
