Association were told today. The Association held its 20th annual meeting in the Claypool Hotel. The agricultural production situation was discussed by Scott Meiks, manager of the Indianapolis Producers Commission Association. who made his annual report.

Criticism Resented “The unreasonable criticism being showered on the farm and farmer by many radio commenta-

tors and cruelly unjust,” Mr. Meiks said. Poultry and egg production is very heavy. Heavy beef, pork, lamb and lard supplies and heavy wool, poultry and egg production would seem tO be an act of Providence to protect the United States in a time of need. . . . The American farmer has a right to demand that this achievement at this time when it is needed most be recognized and appreciated by the public

A Note of Warning

“But a note of warning—the present supply that is now a blessing may become our undoing when war demands are at an end. Let no one expect present prices to last indefinitely. Economic clouds can roll over us suddenly as the war clouds came.” Other speakers at the morning session included Murray S. Barker of Thorntown, Association president, and Hal Royce of the Indiana Farm Bureau's Livestock Marketing Department. This afternoon's speakers were to be Claude Harper, Purdue University; H. H. Hulbert of the Farm Credit Administration, Hassil Schenck, Indiana Farm Bureau president.
