we have ever faced. 



Where are we to secure competent help to gather our 

 cropiB? 



A question that is beyond the ordinary human being 

 under the existing conditions. 



We are urged from cA^ery quarter to increase our pro- 

 duction, and, needless to say, we are doing our utmost to re- 

 spond to the appeals. But if there is any one place where 

 experienced help is required in order to do efficient work 

 at the present time, it is on the farm. 



We are expected to feed the world ; therefore, it is 

 quite evident, food is the most essential factor. The whole 

 world is depending upon the farms for food. 



It must be supplied, or famine will be the result. 



And these United States will pay dearly for the inex- 

 cnsable and intolerable mistake of taking the experienced 

 help from the farmers, and setting the prices on our prod- 

 ucts, regardless of the cost of production. 



THE CHAIRMAN: Mr. Barclay, I am sure, will be 

 pleased to answer any questions which you may have had 

 brought to your attention during his discussion. 



MR. HUTCHINS : In the use of the hamper basket, do 

 you face the top and put a cover on it, or heap the top and 

 leave it off? 



MR. BARCLAY : We face the top with one layer. 



MR. HUTCHINS : In other words, you put in the small 

 bottom the last thing and put the cover on the basket, do 

 you? 



MR. BARCLAY : We put the cover on first, face and fill 

 then nail the bottom in. 



MR. HUTCHINS: Doe« that come under the marking 

 laws as* a closed package in New Jersey? 



MR. BARCLAY: We do not sell them in New Jersey. 

 We ship them to New York. 



MR. HUTCHINS : How is it in New York ? 



MR. BARCLAY: We haven't had any trouble. We 

 mark with our own individual marks.
