some MISTAKES in OUR
MARKETING
METHODS

It costs the American farmer,
and particularly the Southern far
mer, too much to market his
crop. The transportation COM
panies and the middlemen get too
large aproportion of what the
consumer pays. This is a field
for most useful and effective
work on the part of the govern
mental agencies and cooperative
farmers organizations. The
work of the Farmers Union and
other forces has at last had an
appreciative effect in starting
thought and action towards i'm
provement in this line; but the
farmer suffers great loss IN the
marketing of his produce with
which the middlemen and the
transportation companies cannot
be charged. The farmer has CIV
en- little, and too frequently no
attention to market conditions or
demands. He has not given suf-
fcient attention or convenient
firm or nackaUa
The manufacturer and the mer-
chant study the wants and the
fancies of the consumers or buy
ers. No wise merchant buys an
article because he thinks his Gus
toners ought to want it. He
seeks to buy what they want and
give il TO them the way they
want It. Il they buy red apples
best, he gives themred apples, or
If the Southern farmers want one

horse plows, the manufacturer
gives them one-horse plows.
Many farmers have insisted on
putting molasses in jugs, apples
in crates, butter in cloths and
numerous other articles in forms
which the buyers have shown
they did not want.
We have also too often been sat
isfied with the marketing of a
low-grade or cheap produce.
The proportion taken as their toll
by the handlers is always greater
on a cheap product than on a
high-priced one. It costs little
more to transport and sell a pound
Of good butter put up in a desir-
able package than is does aponnd
of poor butter tied up in a rag or
packed in a jar. We must give
heed to what the buyers think
they want and to the marketing
of our produce in the most con-
venient and attractive form. We
must put highes quality products
on the market, strive more to
please the consumer and think
less of our own convenience.

the Walter Reed General Hospi-
tai grounds in this city has been
cut down. This great tree
which lowered $50 feet above
the ground and was five feet in
diameter at the base was killed
last summer when struck by
lightning. It is estimated to
have been between 500 and 900
years old. Some Of the branches
when sawed off showed rings in
dicating an age of more than $50
years.
This kind of tree, which is
called liriodendron tulipifera, is
common near Washington, but
the tree now destroyed was the
grandfather of them all. At
this time of year, when its green
blossoms circled with a bit of old
rose gave the tree its character
istic appearance, the whole COM
munity was perfumed with its
fragrance. This tree was used
as a signal tower by General
Early during his attack on the
National Capital in 1862, and
was frequently the resort of the
sharpshooters of both sides dur
ing the Civil War.
The last week has witnessed
the beginning Of the removal Of
a historic landmark from the
city of Washington-the Airing

a century it has housed famous
men of this country. ]. Pier
pont Morgan at one time kept a
suite of rooms constantly en-
gagged there, and it is related
that during the Cleveland admin
istration the negotions by which
the Morgan syndicate acquired
an entire issue of government
bonds authorized by the last
Democratic president were con
Quoted under the shelter of the
Arlington Hotel, in the rooms of
the financial magnate.
The old hotel has been sold
and will be removed to be re-
placed by a new structure, one
of the most costly ever erected
in this city of wonderful public
buildings. When complete it is
estimated that the new building
will cost over three million dol
lars. The furnishings and or
naments have been on sale at
auction for many days, a n d
scores of men and women whose
names are familiar to the public
have been buying bric-a-brac,
rare vases and pictures. At
times the Auction room resem-
bled a social function, and some
fabulous prices were paid for
articles having little intrinsic
value but famous for their asso-
Citations.

Washington, D. c., June 10.
(Special) Owing to the death
of Mrs. S. M. Sparkman, wife of
the Chairman of the Rivers and
Harbors Committee of the House,
conferences on the river and
harbor appropriation bill have
been suspended pending the re-
turn of Mr.. Sparkman from the
interment of his wife, which oc-
Cured this week at his home in
Tampa, Fla. It is expected that
the conference on the bill will be
resumed next week, and pushed
to completion, the desire OF mem
.bers of Congress to get away
from Washington becoming more
pronounced every day.
Representatives Ransdell of
Louisiana and Humphreys of
Mississippi simultaneously intro
duced bills the past week for
Matchmaking the levees of the
Mississippi river and protecting
the riparian lands from. over
flow" These bills are the OUT
growth of a sentiment among
the senators and representatives
from states along the Father of
Waters that the day has gone
by when can Individually cope
with the situation and that the
time has come when the Federal
Government should take a hand
in preventing the floods which
done irreparable damage during
the past few months.
Speaker Champ Clark, who
has taken a most active part in
river Improvement during the
phst twenty years, in an author
lied interview on the levee ques-
ton said that the great ques-
tion of reducing flood damages
to the minimum is too big for in
dividuals or even states to Wres-
tie with alone. The Federal
Government only is strong
enough to hanele it, and govern
ment control of the leyees seems
to be the only hope"
Representative Ransdell's bill
proposes to appropriate S11,0OO,
900 for the improvement of the
Mississippi during the next fiscal
year. The bill also authorizes
continuing contracts for an adj
ditional sum of $33. 600, 900 to be
expended at the rate of $11, 000,
600 per annum for three years
beginning July /, 1918, making
a total in cash and contract au-
thorizations of $44, 600, 600. OF
this amount $32, 600, 900 is to be
spent on the levees between
Cape Girardean and the Passes.
