PRODUCER AND CONSUMER Many people wonder why the price of products vary so greatly in price from the time it leaves the producer« hands until it reaches those of the conaumer They are the market quotations in the city papers. aay of wheat. You go to the local buyer and he is willing b> pay hut from 78 to 80 cento per bushel. In Portland the price ia from 02 to (Hi cento. In Chicago from 31.02 to |l.0ti In New Work higher ami in the English markets at Guidon or IJverpool, the price is .nearly doubled. Now you wonder why this differ ence. Why should it coat more than the value of one bushel of wheat to take another to ita final destination? The local dealer charges you for warehouse, »ack», freight and profit if any, from your station, from 12 to 15 cento per bu«hel. He will tell you and its true he cannqt charge leas without losing money. From Port land to England or France at the present time, the freight coat is nearly fl per bushel, more than twice what it was one year ago. Thia large freight coat ia due to several causes. The war. with consequent I 1 high insurance rates and the block- ■ ing of the Panama canal, enable «hip ow ner» to demand their own prices for freight tonnage, and to «hip to the Atlantic coast bv rail! is almoat prohibitive. But wheat ia not all that causes the farmer to think. He «ells hi« hogs at 5 to d cento per pound. If hr buys liacon from his local dealer, he must pay 20 to 25 cento per pound, ham« nearly as much; lard 1« to 18 cents. This difference is too great The wonder is. whv does he not convert his hog« into bac<>n. ham» and lard and get at least a part of this wide difference. His butter fat furnishes another ex ample of a wide margin. He sells the fat al from 30 to 32 cents per pound. If he buys buttrr from his local dealer, he must pay 40 cents for it. Now the local dealer is not to Name Hia margin of profit is «mall and he cannot handle it for a leaa price The additional cnat goes to pay the two freights and the manu facturers profit, which ia not small. The reniedy ia, run a »mall butter dairy of your own ami get a part of this difference. The same fact» are true with all other products, tieside« flour, meat and the dairy. The home consumer generally pay» about what the double freight charges would be, plu» the dealers profit. A remedy would'be to get the producer ami conaumer in closer touch, especially those at home, convert your produce into the finished product whenever prac ticable and encourage the home ebn- Burner to use home products. This can be done by community coopera tion. honesty ami fairdealing. No one can blame the farmer producer for desiring the twat t the same aa cheaply aa he can. Self interval ia the prompter in each in stance ( «immunity interval« «hould bring about a bettor and more direct understanding The home dealer or merchant ahould be ami ia. largely, the inter- mediaary to bring th**- aeemingly opposing in tor eat« together The producer sella hi« product to him and the «-ocwutiM-r buy» it from him Now if the product to first-clam. aa It ahould tie. all parttaw to the ex change are well satisfied. the pro ducer haa received a fair price. th«- dealer haa made, perhap«, a «mall profit and the conaumer, because hi- geto full value for the price be pay» But if the produ.n is inferior, nobody ia satisfied and. generally, all loae It ahould l>e the purpose and ef fort of everyone to enlarge the home market wherever poaaible. The produerr can do thia by selling to the home consumer at the same oricaa, leva the freight, which he could get in the city market, The consumer can aid. by giving the home product preference to th«- foreign and the merchant or dealer by conducting the exchange on a fair margin of profit.
