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.
