TERMINALS FOR FARMERS
DELEGATES TO RURAL PROGRESS
CONFERENCE.
Want Better Accommodation for
Market Gardens.

Boston-The relation of present
day methods of agriculture, market
ing and farm finance to the high
cost of living" and to social welfare
in general was discussed in all its
bearings at the dinner given by the
committee on agriculture and group
of members of the Boston Chamber OF
Commerce in honor of the delegates
to the New England conference on
rural progress.
Cyrus c. Miller, chairman of the
New York market commission, claim
ed that in almost every city the ter
minal facilities are only those which
have been furnished by the railroads
or steamship lines without co-ordina-
ton or supervision by the city au-
thorities.
The speaker advocated the odap-
ton for American cities OF a whole
sale terminal market ON the railroads
and on the waterfront wherever pos
sibe, so that the goods could come
in carload lots and be sold at whole
sale at auction or by private sale and
distributed directly to the retailers.
George Woodruff urged for the re-
lief of the present farm situation a
system of mortgage banks, under
state or national supervision, loaning
money upon real estate, with amorti-
zation provisions in the mortgages
and restrictions around the bonds.
The conference is henceforth to be
known as the New England Federa-
ton for Rural Progress"

a few years ago boosted Of her abil-
ity to feed the mother land.
Figures from the same source
also show corresponding shrink
age in exports Of other beef pro-
duets, such as canned beef, cured,
etc. 1t would seem that these fig
ures should at once convince any
one open to conviction that there
is indeed a tremendous shortage of
beef and beef cattle.
In view of the recent agitation
relative to storage of food products,
it might be interesting to observe
that at the close of December,
1908, there was in coolers in this
country two hundred and sixty-two
million five hundred thousand
pounds of beef. This stock had
decreased by December, 1910, to
one hundred and thirty five mil
lion six hundred thousand pounds,
decrease of almost so per cent,
and while no figures have been
published for 1912 it is estimated
that probably the entire stock of
meat on hand at the close of last
year did not exceed thirty-fve mil
lion pounds. considering alone
the decrease in the number of cat
tie in the United States, the de-
crease in our exports of all cattle
and beef products and the decrease
of stocks of meat on hand, with
the admitted increase in our popu-
lation-we certainly can not be
mistaken in the assumption that
the supply is wholly inadequate
to meet the demand.
"That the scarcity of supply is
being felt in other directions than
in the high price of beef, and in
manner that should arouse the
patriotism Of our citizens to ag-
gressive action, is shown by the
interesting figures relative to our
imports Of cattle and beef products

healthful, are all points of interest
conveying intelligence.
Of course the news must be told
by the advertiser in a way that is
convincing. Everyone is open to
conviction. 1t is up to the adver-
tiser to demonstrate the real value
in any product for sale.
Every good product will profit
by this test, for the people are
quick to take up with anything
they know is good, and skeptical
about a product of which they
know nothing. If a product can
not stand the test of publicity it
will go off the market as it should.
And a merchant whose business
can not stand the test of publicity
will not make success of his
business.
When the merchant puts the
same argument and intelligence
into his ads that a good salesman
puts into his talks to sell COM
modify, then will newspaper adver-
tising become immensely profitable
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1913-06-27

News is any "recent or fresh in
telligence or information concern
Ing any matter or event." and
advertising is giving news relating
to business.
The ordinary doings and hap
penings are not news. For in
stance to say that Jones, the dry
goods merchant, sells calico, is not
news. But to say that Jones sells
calico 25 per cent below regular
price is news, business news, and
advertising.
That advertising may be effec-
tive, productive and stimulating
to business it must be done in the
way of conveying information. TO
say that Smith is still making good
goods honestly, and that the people
ought to eat his product, conveys
neither specific nor interesting
information. But to show why
Smiths goods are good, how the
goods are made and why they are
made that way, why they are pala-
table, why digestible, and why

cember 81, 1906 and 1912, which
were in round numbers rs follows.
1906, $4,000 head, valued at $5,-
100000. An increase in the num-
Der of head imported of about
1850 per cent and in value about
1870 per cent. With respect to
these figures it is well to keep in
mind that as was the case with ex-
ports, which showed decrease
year by year, so is the showing
with regard to imports, which have
increased steadily each year, evil
IDENTIFY due to the diminishing sup
ply and an increasing demand, and
not to any peculiar market condi-
tion here or abroad or to any other
outside influence"
"With the large ranches in Tex
as and the Southwest rapily being
placed under agriculture" contin-
ued Mr.. Traylor, "and the unre-
stricted territory being steadily
diminished it seems there is no
method left for bringing the sup
ply Of cattle necessary for our de-
mands up to the proper proportion
except through the development
of the small individual herd, char
acteristic of he-countries which
have grown rich through intelli-
gent live stock farming.
"That some measure of relief may
be brought about by Legislation
preventing the slaughter of calves,
which, according to figures taken
from the annual report of Swift
& Co., reached last year the tre-
mendous figure of 100000 head,
is evident, but that such legisla-
tion will ever obtain in this coun-
try is extremely doubtful. Ger
tain it is that it will not come
about until our people are thor
educated to the economic
crime being committed in the
slaughter of this tremendous num-
Der of young stuff.
"In the meantime the opportunity
certainly exists, and with it the
duty, for all classes of our citizens
and especially our general farmers
to enter upon thorough and in
campaign for the restora-
ton of our live stock supply and,
incidently, the perpetuation of our

OF officers Of the county live stock
associations along the lines Of the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st.
Louis Railway west Of Nashville,
and others interested in the i'm
provement Of stock breeding Oh
the Sonthern farm, convened at the
instance Of the industrial branch
OF the Nashville, Chattanooga and
ST. Louis traffic department, was a
significant gathering. lit was at
tended by men representing the
general farming class to whom the
great army Of beef consumers of
America must look for future sup
ply; bytactual breeders of thoro-
bred stock who must furnish the
farmer blooded breeding animals
for grading up the common herds
Of the country, and by bankers and
business men who are directly and
indirectly interested in the success
Of the movement looking to wider
range Of meat production on the
farm.
The most significant and inter-
esting features of the conference
we're all address by M. A. Traylor,
vice president of the National Stock
Yards National Bank, Chicago, and
an address by E. L. Bisbee, vice
president Of the st. Louis Nation
Stock Yards, Chicago, During the
course Of these addresses it was
shown that, considering the alarm
ing shortage of live stock in the
United States, especially with re-
spect to cattle, with the correspond
ingly high prices of beef and other
meat products, together with the
steady decrease in acreage yield of
ali grain crops, il the American
farmer is in the future to supply
the food for the table of American
citizens, something must be done
to establish system OF live stock
farming which will insure an in
creased food production commen-
surate with our rapidly increasing
population.
Emphasis was placed upon a
statement recently issued by the
Department of Agriculture at
Washington showing that in jan
uary, 1913t, here were 100000
fewer beef cattle on American
farms than on January l, 1907, al
though in the same period the pop
ulation of this country had in
creased 100000. It was also
shown that while $4,000 head of
cattle were exported from the Unit
ed States in 1906, only $4,000 cat
tie were exported in 1912, de-
crease in exports during the past
six years Of SO per cent.
CAS- impressive as is the showing
with reference to our exports of
live cattle" said Mr.. Traylor in
his address, "are the figures cover
ing imports Of fresh beef by the
United States. According to sta
Eistics compiled byth Department
of Commerce and Labor our ex-
ports of fresh beef for the same
years were as follows: 1906, 269,-
III, 900 lbs, valued at $24, ,75l, 900;
1912, 9,O25.000 lbs, valued atS1,-
)53, 900 showing decrease in the
number of pounds exported of
26O, ,692, 900 lbs, or 81 per cent,

balance on this one item alone of
