Peter Menkin Brown, Berlin corre­
spondent, said in Baltimore in a lec­
ture on the blockade:
“ The Germans are suffering from
our blockade more than they’d have
us think. There’s a real dearth of
foodstuffs and there's a real pest of
profiteers.
“ Think of it— the Germans are now
eating crows!
More than that, the
profiteers have cornered the crows of
Germany, so that the government has
had to fix crow prices, which range,
1 believe, from 60 to 85 cents, accord- j
ing to the weight and age of the bird. |

T h e difference between farm er’s price
and retail price represents the necessary
expenses o f packing, freight and w hole­
sale and retail distribution.
Swift & Company not only performs
the manufacturing operations o f pre­
paring cattle for market in its well-
equipped packing plants, but it pays the
freigh t on meat to all parts o f the
United States, operates 500 branch
distributing houses, and in most cases
even delivers to the retail butcher. A ll
this is done at an expense o f less than 2
cents per pound, and at a profit o f only
about Vi o f a cent per pound o f beef.
L a rg e volum e o f business and expert
management, make possible this indis­
pensable service to the live-stock raiser
and to the consumer, and make possible
the larger proportion o f retail prices
received b y farmers.
