the past few years has he received a
fair return upon his investment and
for his labor He insists that even with
the great increase in the prices of his
products. the farmer is not responsible
to any large degree for the cost Of Iiv-
ing to the city man.
He points out, for instance, that the
average price OF milk to the city con-
sumer IS loo percent greater than the
price the farmer gets for It. Likewise
the farmer raises poultry and realizes
only q little more than half of its ulti-
mate price to the consumer. He grows
cabbage for less money than the mid
dlemen demand as their profit for
handling it. He keeps chickens and
produces eggs and gets only 10 percent
more out Of It than the middleman be-
tween him and the consumer. The con-
sumer pays 3S percent more for his
beef according to secretary Wilson,
than the packer gets for ii. The price
realized by the farmer is only 2 little
