A TEXAS FARMERS PLANT
Too Many Middlemen increase the
Cost Of All He Has to BUY Be-
yOnd Reasonable Limitations.

I'm your last weeks issue YOU say
farmers should house their tools, in
elusive Of 30-cent hoes and $3.50
threshers. The problem confronting
the farmer is to find the 30-cent hoe
and the $3.50 thresher.
Il noticed an advertisement in
Farm and Ranch of vest pocket
threshing outfit. 1t seemed to be
what L wanted, and 1 wrote the fac
tory for prices. The quotation for
cash with order came back $3.50
through Texas jobber. l also have
to pay 65 cents for a hoe or Sc a
dozen. So what 1 desire to know is
where to find the 30-cent hoe and the
$3.50 threshing outfit. 1t might be il
such prices were possible that farm
ers would have enough left to build
shelter for tools, but beg to call at
tention to the fact that farmers are
robbed at both ends of every trans
action in a small way. If he has oats
to sell they are worth 90 cents; if he
needs seed oats they cost him 60
cents. If he has wheat for sale he is
flying high if he gets 20 cents. If he
needs bran for feed he pays s1.20,
and for flour $3.50. Should he decide
to get fair prices by buying in guam
tity the wholesalers tell him they
only sell to the trade. With due de-
ference to Farm and kanch, which
of course comes in contact with the
retailer in advertising and to whom
courtesy is of course due, the paper
has ever hit on, or at least empha-
sized the greatest leak on the farm,
and that Is the ability to buy needed
things on fair basis. The law steps
in and says the banker may not charge
over ten per cent. on money per an
mum, and that railroads can not dis
criminate against shippers. 1t, how
ever, charges the merchant a small
occupation tax that practically Ii
censes him to charge any kind of
profit, and to refuse to sell except
to the trade, in the case of jobbers.
But it is the implement men that
stick on the profits. A farmer can do
without things to eat, and usually
does so, but he can't work without
tools. A pillow that could be sold at
fair profit for say Sc will reach the
farmer as SIS proposition. He pays
factory profit of say so to 100 per
cent, and retailers profit of 25 to IS
per cent. Credit prices are higher.
1t may be that cost of marketing re-
quires these profits, but it means
tax on farmers that they can not pay
and prosper. To go into a wagon
factory and be told the cost in ma
terial and labor of making a wagon
is from $50 to $50, and selling price
from $35 to $50, and then ask local
retailer the cost of wagon and find
it going at SIS to 500. gives the idea
of excessive profits. have hoped the
farmers institutes would take the
matter up and / believe it the most
question. To get value for
what the farmer sells and to only pay
q fair value for what he buys seems
to me a step toward success. In this
day of progress there is not need for
such complex arrangements. There
should not be so many middlemen
who get rake offs."-Cor. Farm and
