while the American farmers and hog ship to the
British market immense proportion con.
snmed there they the lowest market prices has given
Secretary Wilson occasion for coming suggestions
to which the agrcutuss Of this country to paw
attention Mr. Wilson convinced that the price paid
the american product is not the discrimination by the
British buyer The simple fact is that in Great
Britain for the Canadian and the Danish bacon
according to his TASTE the Canadian products are
superior"
american bacon brings only 81 cents pound England
while the product of the competing brings from
Ia cents Thus while the United States ships than
half of the bacon imported into Great Britain
for it only abont equal to the paid the
Danish farmer American bacon according the English idea
fat hence the competing bacon producers who
article the best in the the American
prices
There is point here which farmers would to heed
1t will them to study their market their
customers AS Secretary Wilson puts they
command just good prices their competitors they will only
take pains ascertain their them
This applies to all kinds Of products we'll the
American farmer would profit by expanded foreign
and better prices let him learn what foreign desire
and then offer them just what they want"
