SUST1 BIG LOSS
Much of Crop Pries On
Trcis Because of Mar
keting Situation.
Tr-r tif P r t f-7" oi'pf varif tt of
chrrte r (irirti di n n the trees
in V l:'inTrptit vslicy because the
jri-wer fund :t urpriifitbi to pick
them, while the ret.! price in the
citif-i vm e:jrht to ten cent pound.
Firsr ffir p in the Sam district
r.Mfd the probers two to two and
on1 halt cert p-r poui.d, while in
O.imjro. MiW aukie and other midwest-rn
ci?m these same cherries
retailed at from 40 to 50 cents per
pourd. A Wilianette prower ex
preF(d a nhipment to Milwaukie and
the eprr charre were $4.i5 per
hundred, or practically five cents per
pound. There you have the system.
Ten times tr.e cost of production be
tween the producer and middle-west
consumer, arid tr.e midd-e interests
who take this great profit toij never
invested a cent in the industry.
Like many other farm products,
cherr.e come all at once; the pro
ducers dump because they have to
ar.i the market is plurted. This
frames a situation whereby the mid
dle interests rrtke big profits while
prowers pet fc&rxTy enouph to war
rant damage to trees by picking.
If there was a thoroughly organized
and tipht cooperative shipping asso
ciation, the prowers could take the
place of these fruit dealers and spec
ula'ors and Tr-ske the promts that ar
now made off of them. They could
have arranged for markets long be
fore the crop was picked; could have
distributed them to the various parts
of the country where most demanded,
in orderly distribution; prevented
the excessive supply in home mar
kets and received fair profit prices.
Tne cherry" situation but illustrates
the farm situation generally. The
farmers produce that others may
make profits from their products. On
an average two dollars are added to
every dollar ihe farmer pets when the
products are finally retailed. There
is ampie room in this price spread
for living profits to growers and low
er prices to consumers. With both
classes organized, this change can be
made.
Grain dealers arooffering one dol
lar per bushel for No. 1 wheat in
eastern Oregon, but farmers are not
signing contracts to ar.y great extent
at this price, they believing that the
market price will be higher than this
figure. With the Northwest Wheat
Growers' assocition suspending oper
ations, farmers are hunting their own
markets this season. The association
controlled too small a part of the
wheat to be a dominant marketing
factor and now it will let the growers
find their ow-n markets for a season,
or until such time as enough will co
operate to make the association a real
price-determ ining organization.
An international co-operative in
stitute is under way by all of the
farm organizations and co-operative
organizations, and the plans are to
hold it about a year hence. A call
has been issued by the permanent
committee for a general meeting to
be held in Cleveland, August 11-16,
this year, for the preliminary work
of canvassing the entire cooperative
field, its successes and problems, and
working out a comprehensive pro
gram. More and more farm leaders
realize that they must be their own
saviors; that they must organize and
conduct their business as the other
big industries of the nation do if ag
riculture is to survive.
Last year the U. S. imported $429,
265,000 from Canada and that coun
try reciprocated by buying back
$58632,000 from us. each country be
lieving it was getting more for its
money by the transaction.
Canada has a population of 9,000,
000 and 110,000 traveling salesmen.
At an average of $12 a day, wages and
expenses for each salesman, it costs
the country $1,000,000 per day to sell
its goods. ThiB proportion is said
to be far larger in this country. This
is one of the big overhead expenses
that is passed onto the consumer and
and taken from the producer. If half
of the salesmen cf the country were
eliminated, very few would ever icisa
them.
