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

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. We are all
factors in building up a prosperous
community and all ahould work to
that end for our mtoreata are
mutual.
