A. ". NR|GHTS OPINION ON GOLD STORAGE
An Interesting Opinion From One Who Conversan With The
Ins and Outs of The Cold Storage Business Mr. Wright
Quotes Figures to Show That Products Stored
Cannot Control the Market

high prices OF food products, the cold
storage warehouses are often blamed
for existing conditions, but instead their
benefits to the producer and consumer
are many and far reaching.
Before cold storage facilities came into
use, production was discouraged, owing
to the fact that the farmer could find a
ready market only for a small proper
tion of his product, and at low prices.
great proportion of his stock went to
waste, representing many thousands of
dollars.
While the consumer, il is true, during
these times was able to buy his i'm
mediate requirements at moderate
prices, the conditions were exactly
eversed during the season of scarcity;
re was either compelled TO pay extreme
prices or do without this product alto
gether.
The general use of cold storage has
acted as an evener of prices, reducing
materially the difference between the
maxium and minimum selling prices
throughout the year All these advapt-
ages are of great benefit both to the
producer and the consumer.
The discouraging of the great system
OF cold storage, strikes directly at the
gseat principle of conservation. and to
the detriment OF increased food supplies
to meet the requirements of our constant
ly increasing consuming population
1t is estimated that of the total
amount of production of the eggs of the
United States, materially less than
per cent are stored the balance, of over
92 per cent goes direct to the consumer.
OF all the butter produced in the
country. less than 6 per cent is put
away i'll storage. while over "a per cent
goes to immediate use.
OF the fresh meat produced in the
country, over 81 per cent is for prompt
use and less than 3 per cent placed in
storage.
These figures are convincing argu-
ment that the small percentage of these
products stored cannot control OF
regulate the selling prices"
