to come and find a market for them
first" ..'
What kind are they? Are they
red, white, black, large or small? Are
they b]utchered? Have they been
~frozen2' ETC., is the catechism he goes
through. The merchant concludes
by announcing that he has just bought
a. lot and expects another shipment
soon, and adds, IT'S a pity you hadn't
brought them with you. or a sample in
your pocket. You know that pork is
away down." BY this time he thinks
he has the farmer convinced that he
doesn't really need the pork and that
1T Ia cheap anyway and ventures to
put a price on the farmers goods.
Right here the farmer is up against
his problem. If he refuses the price
offered he has no assurance that he
will be able to sell for some time. He
expects to return on the next train to
make arrangements to prepare the
porkers for market, but finally returns
and delivers the goods. When they
have been received, whether the farm
er is there or not, the merchant gets
one of his men to carry in the pork and
al upon h scales, while another
man weighs the hogs. He adds up the
weight and deducts the guessed
weight of the man that carried in the
hogs. BY this time the proprietor
has evaporated and the butcher knows
Nj. Mossback has to return to look at
ter his diversified" farm interests. Tt
is then probably days before the farm
err can effect a settlement and then
probably gets a check with no funds
back of it.
The above is a common occurrence
and 1 hope that the educators at the
coming convention will use their in
f1uence to strengthen the backbone of
the Fargo boosters to enable them
to provide a public market in that city
for the products of the farmers. 1t
may be this would be a good plan for
