Secretary Wilson Testifies in
Foodstuff Inquiry.
RETURN TO FARM IS REMEDY
Head .of Agricultural Department De
clarea American Farm Products
Cheaper Abroad Than
j. in Thla Country.
\fashlngton, Jan. 25.—Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson in his testimony
before the Congressional committee
which Is investigating the rise in the
price of foodstuffs in the District of
Columbia declared that American
farm products are sold cheaper abroad
than they are In this country.
He intimated that the trusts were
to blame, but declined to go Into any
lengthy explanation because Hhe. In
vestigation which he is conducting
has not yet be£n completed. He also
blamed the high cost of living to this,
together with the exorbitant tprofltu
demanded by the retail dealers, He
prescribed as one remedy for the
evil, a return to the farm. More farm
era, and more intelligent farming, he
declared, would greatly remedy con
dltionl
Hill Adda Hla Testimony.
James J. Hill, president of the
Great Northern railroad, also added
the value of his testimony to the in
vestigation in an Interview in which
he characteristically declared that the
problem was not so much, "the high
cost of living as of the cost of high
living."
The agricultural department will to
day Issue Its bulletin upon the In
crease In the supply of cattle on the
ranges. It Is understood that these
figures will confirm Information com
ing from various sections of the coun
try that there Is unprecedented- pros
perity In the animal Industry of the
country.
Meat Supply Is Juggled. Y.
They promise to show that instead
of scarcity In the sources of mefct sup
ply there is unusual plenty and that
the present high prices of meatsprod
ucts are, therefore, the result of
manipulation by combinations In con
trol of the meat supply and are con
trary to the law of supply and de
mand.
The figures that the secretary of ag
riculture has collected thus' far
showed on January, 1909, that the
price of beef was 22.6 per cent., high
er than the average level of price in
the five years from 1896 to 1900 In
clusive.
The increase In the retail price of
meat, according to the department's
Information, also had been .much
greater relatively than the increase
In the wholesale price. When the
packer has raised on the retailed, the
retailer has passed the raise along
to the customer with a little more
tacked on for the good measure/*'
