Some Random Thoughts.

Tne question OF marketing farm
produce is not alone confined to US
CT the South, rs The clipping from.
Farm and Fireside shows. Whether
such market system Wou'd suit
us here where the city nuusekeeper
is so accustomed to having aer sup
plies carried to her doors either by
the grocer's wagon, the buckster, or
market gardener, / DO not know.
But L do know some cooperative
system OF buying and selling must be
adopted--of buying by the house
wives to eliminate the waste OF nicAle
purchases and Of selling by the pro-
ducers to lessen the cost Of distribu-
ton.
(The clipping referred - above
will appear in re~' issue.)
The statement made by the COM
mittee Of the Chamber Of Commerce
tha.. five firms would buy all corn,
hay and oats, at the market price,
plus the freight, that is, at the de-
livered price by the carload, may be
made in good faith by the firms nam
ed. But they are not the good busi-
ness men / take them to be if they
live up to such a plan, further than
to supply their immediate needs.
Suppose, for sake of illustrator.
that next June the farmers of this
section make a big crop of oats with
the express purpose of supplying the
local demand. suppose the price is
50 cents per lusheI delivered ir car
lots. The farmers begin threshirg
June 1st aud put on the Sumter mar
Eet during The month of June 900
600 bushels Of oats. Does any sane
man suppose the five firms named
will take 10000 bushels each and
tie up $4,000 each in oats alone, to
help out the farmers? Well If you
do. you have another guess coming.
1t would not be a week before the
price would drop to 20 cents, in
two weeks to 60 or SIS cents and if
such a condition prevailed all over
the South and the farmers persisted
in putting oats on the market, the
price would sbe at 40 cents the bush
e! before the first of August. And,
because on the grain exchange OF
Chicago and New York bear specu-
,ators would be selling millions and
hundreds of Millions of bushels Of
oats in anticipation of the reckless
selling Of the Southern farmers. We
would hear all the changes ring on
bear raids and elevator mergers"
etc. ad infinitum, ad naussurn.
In this connection 1 want to re-
print in these columns next week the
address Of Col. w. e. ThOrpson.
president Of the New Orleans Cotton
Exchange, before the Conference Of
Governors. October 30-31, and I trust
our people will read it carefully, for
whether We agree with him or not
as to all Of his conclusions, or wheth-
er We agree with the Marlboro farm
ers that the Louisiana warehouse
plan is feasible or not, Cr best for
this State, his address is a conserva-
tive statement Of conditions and it
does not take the State warehouse
plan to make effective the remedies
he points out. And I want to quote
here and now the last sentence in his
address: You may talk OF valor-
izatng by State, or Of syndicat.s guar
anteeing values, or Of the price-ad-
vancing Of holding and ware
houe'ng combinations. or of the sup
port Of capital, or the exploits OF the
