Exnensiye Distribution

While the potato growers of north ern Michigan are receiving 30 cents a bushel for their product delivered at the cars, the consumer in nearby Chicago is paying 40 cents peck!
 So with the watermelon growers of the south. A watermelon loaded in a car is considered worth cents, but it retails in a northern city at 60 gents!
 Other necessaries of life could be named, and in every case the producer receives a small price while the con sumer pays big price. It is true some large farmers can protect them selves, but the small farmer cannot and he is caught "coming and going"
 Chairman Yoakum of the Frisco system has shown that six billions worth of farm products cost the con sumer thirteen billions of dollars, the difference going in large part, not to the railroads, but to middlemen.
 The problem of distribution is still in this country in very raw and inchoate condition. Possibly the par cels post will point to a remedy. The closer the producer and the consumer can be brought together, as they are in Germany and Great Britain, the better will prices be inaugurated for the relief of both the producer and consumer. The middleman is now in the saddle.

Satisfactory Tests

A dispatch from Iron Mountain,
Mich, of Saturday says that the
experimental test at the Jones
furnace at Kloman is far more
satisfactory than any heretofore
made at the Ards furnace at Iron
Mountain. Some little difficulty
is now being experienced In
maintaining the necessary units OF
heat. The ore is metalized more
perfectly than under previous tests.
A carload of the White Iron ore
is at hand and will be run through
the furnace as soon as possible.
The ore was shipped there several
months ago. On the the result of
the run will depend the building of
a furnace at the property near this
city. The outcome is being watch
ed with interest.
