generally have advertised literally

Whether the farmer could do bet
ter in many cases by selling his
produce direct instead of through the
middleman is a subject which has
been a very serious one to deal with
and Institutes and Oranges in this
and other States have given the
matter thoughtful consideration.
The Baltimore American comments
upon the farmer VS.. the middleman
in a rather interesting manner. 1t
says: cat the meeting of the
Maryland State Grange, Mr.. H. ].
Patterson, the master of the State
organization, advocated closer CO.
operation in raising and selling
farm products. He commented
upon the fact that under existing
conditions the farmer receives only
about S5 per cent of what the con-
sumer pays, and he drew the con-
clusion that there was too many
middlemen, too many who make a
living between producer and con-
sumer without rendering adequate
service for what they obtain. The
question of the middlemen in the
general problem of the cost of foods
and the apportionment of the costs
is really too complex a problem to
be handleed offhandedly. But it is
nevertheless a problem demanding
analytic scrutiny. 1t is not to be
s+s@aass.assed bsS.r SERVES is the thing
which counts mostly in the cost of
modern living. Food products
cannot be passed directly from the
farm to the consumer. Talk as he
may about eliminating the middle
man, the farmer simply cannot
eliminate him, and the city con-
sumer cannot get along without the
midway service. We always have
had the butcher, the baker and the
candlestick maker, or their counter
parts, and we always shall have
them. In fact, most consumers,
except the idle rich and those
employed in the professions who are
not themselves farmers, are middle
men in one way or another. That
is to say, they do something to the
raw product after it leaves the
farm or the mine and before it is
finally disposed of. A statesman
from one of the Dakotas who ate a
beefsteak at q fashionable restau-
rant in Washington figured out that
a four-year old Dakota steer, judg-
ing from the price he paid, ought tc
bring about 81, 900. But what the
gentleman from Dakota really
purchased was the privilge of eating
at a restaurant where the table, The
menu, the room furnishings and the
wall decorations had cost muci
money. He was taxed to pay fo
the poetic quality of the service ant
urdings The price of food
certainly does get lacked up be
tween producer and consumer. Th
problem to be worked ous is as t
whether the jacking up is arbitrar
and unfair, or in accord with econo
mic laws.
