Lafollette Nursery Co. PRINEV1LLE Both Phones OREGON HELP Will HE FARM By Peter Radford. Lecturer National Farmera' Union. The leading railroad systems of the nation will establish market bureaus to anoint the farmer along their lines In marketing their products. Many roada have acceded to the re queHt of the farmers' Union and an nounced their wllllngneas to enter Into active co-operation with the far meru In marketing their products. The expreaa companies have sur veyed the field and the Federal Gov ernment, through the parcel post, hue demonstrated t! e polbilltie of the common carrier mi a ueeful agency in marketing farm eor.imodltles. I consider the .:'! ,u of theae giant buxlneas concern-, t.i determining to co-operate with farmers In mar keting their cropo, to be the greatest product of human thought on the Wentern hemlaphere during the past year, and it demonstrates that the educational work of the Farmers' Union has brought the nation to a clearer understanding of the real problem of the farmer. To give Information on marketing Is far more valuable than to give advice on production. There Is a mu tual Interest between the railroads and the farmer which cannot exist between any other lines of Industry. The railroads are the teamsters of agriculture, and they are employed only when there Is something to haul. Good prices will do more to Increase tonnage than any other factor, and railroads want tonnage. Agriculture has many inherent dis advantages which require combined effort to overcome in marketing. There are millions of producing units working Independently and selling without knowledge of market condi tions. The harvest is once a year, while consumption Is pretty even ly distributed throughout the entire year, and most of the farmers, through custom and necessity, dump their entire crop on the market as soon as it is gathered. The problem of organizing and systematizing the markets Is one In which the farmers invite asslfttanoe of all lines ot In dustry friendly to their Interests. Farmers Bear the Burden. The business of the manufacturer lends Itself more readily to organiza tion and the facilities for studying the markets are more easily available. The result Is that the merchants are com pelled to handle most staple manufac tured articles at very little profit, and as a consequence the merchant must look to products which he beys di rect from the farm for hie profits. The reports of the Federal Depart ment ot Agriculture show some very interesting information and enable a comparison between the cost of marketing praducts of the farm and tbose ot the factory. A few Items wlvl serve to illustrate the general run. The cost of getting Bugar from the refinery to the consumer le 9 cents on the dollar; the cost ot get ting tobacco from factory to con sumer is 14 cents on the dollar. In selling dollar's worth ot eggs the middleman gets a profit of 50 cents on the dollar. In selling a dollar's worth of potatoes, the middleman makes 70 cents on the dollar; In sell ing a dollar's worth ot fruit, the middleman gets 84 cents on the dol lar, and on cantaloupes 82 cents. Farmers' Bulletin No. S70, published by the United States Department of Agriculture, In discussing this subject, said: . "The high price paid by consumers ranging from S to 500 per cent, in some cases, more than the farmer re ceives, indicates that there Is plenty of room for .lowering the cost of farm products to consumers and at the Bame time largely Increasing the cash Income" per farm, without In creasing farm production. This condi tion Is undoubtedly a marketing prob lem which will have to be solved by better organization of farmers and Improved methods of marketing." Large Shippers Influence Rates. In railroad rates the Inequalities are equally as flaring. Rate making in Its primitive stages' wae largely Influenced by demands and arguments of large shippers, but the farmers were unorganized and seldom ap peared before rate-making bodies, and the burden of expense in transporta tion lies largely against the , raw products of the farm. In banking, our securities are dis criminated against, as compared with the products of the factories and mines. The farmer Is gntltled to a square deal. The farmer Is more In terested In good prices and efficient service than he Is In rates. Sell your vegetables to Maddux & Company. 17 SPECIAL 28 Bars King's Savon Soap $1.00 10c Can K. C.
