MARKET AGENT
NOTES FROM STATE
Must Car fur Themselves.
"Thf farmer realises now that un
less ha ia in control of production,
and marketing also, he will be tiia
victim of those who control tha nuir
sets. There ia no business hut must,
through 'oririinliiulon and ability, ba
prepared to tuka car of Itself,"
I'nltod Ststes Senator Korah of
Iilnho made tha above atatement
months, ago, when tha government
statistics were given out that there
were 88 H millions of farm folks pro
ducing food for tha nation and that
them were 19 million middle folks
concerned in distributing tha farm
product! to tha homes.
Bornh saw in this rendition, what
any man may seo if ha will do a lit
tle real thinking, that In order that
these nineteen million middle men
might live, tha price paid tha fanner
must ba very low and tha price to tha
consumer must be very high. And
that ia the present' condition. Tha
pricea are ao low to tha grower that
he cannot make a profit, and ao high
to tha homea that they buy only what
they must not what they would.
The American Federation of labor
in session in I'ortland la.it year, made
the statement that it cost more to
sell agricultural products than it
coat to produce them. The New
Hampshire State Division of Markets
in its official publication, showed
that the potato growera' portion of
the retail price of tha product waa
20, the country buyers' part 15,
freight 1JV. city distribution 60
and retail lOO'. Tha farmer fur
nished everything, took the risks
and received but one-fifth tha price
the consumer paid. .
Any time the producers of the na
tion want to change thia system bad
enough, they can change it, aays C.
. K. Spence, State Market Agent. There
is no n?ed for this army of middle
profit-takers, and what middle seen
fies are needed could be supnlied by
tha producers themselves. The con
sumer pays too high a price for his
products and the producer gets too
small a part of tha conaumer'a dollar.
When these two classes cooperate,
the system can be changed.
Buying Quality.
Tha middle west, which la now
waking a tremendous advance in all
kinda of co-operation, ia now apply,
irg the test to milk bought in many
cheese factories. It is but a matter
of time when nearly everything will
be bought on its test or grade worth,
and la a system that givea a premium
fcr the best producta and a penalty
on poor quality.
Various reports ar that the severe'
eo!d of the past winter damaged a
large proportion of the cherry trees
in Idaho and eastern Washington.

ing its lilc anq usefulness; You can double the life of
an implement by putting it under cover as soon as you
are through using it
The cost of an Implement shed to protect $2,000.00
worth of machinery is only a fraction of that sum.
