Food of Nation Is Discussed in Report Secretary of Agriculture Discusses Nation's Food Supply Distribution and Marketing lScconimendntions. Washington, Jan. 15. (Special) The food of the-Nation is discussed by the Secretary of Agriculture in his annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1916. The Secretary states it is notable that, with the exception of meat and dairy products, the per capita production of the leading food commodities, notwithstanding the in crease in population, has remained approximately the same or has in creased. It is gratifying to note, h-s adds, that the alarming decline in beef production reached its lowest point in 1913, and that since that time there has been a material in crease, while there has been a mark et advance in the number of swine since the census year 1899. The number of sheep has continued to de cline, but only to a slight extent. The number of animals slaughtered and the quanity of meat products pre pared under Government inspection during the past fiscal year are the largest in the history of the service. This shows heavier increase in the remaining stock of animals. He points out that with nil the agencies now available for improving agriculture there is ground for optimism as to tho ability of the Nation not only to sup ply itself with food but increasingly to meet the needs of the world.
