Absorbed by Middlemen.

THE long line of distributors and
middlemen between the farmer anu
the consumer are in u position TO
take advantage of the market, and 70
a certain extent control the market
in both directions, because they are
better organized to keep informed of
crop and market conditions and to
act promptly than either farmers or
consumers, who are not organized
and as individuals are helpless.
1.-THE high prices paid by consum-
ers ranging from > to nearly 500 per
cent. more than the farmer receives
Indicate that there is plenty of room
for lowering the cost of farm prod
Ycts to consumers and at the same
time largely increasing the cash in
come per farm without increasing
farm production.
This condition is undoubtedly ii
marketing problem, which will have
to be solved by better organization
Of farmers and improved methods OF
marketing. When as the result OF
such organization and improved
methods the price of farm products
can be maintained at u higher level
without increasing the cost to con-
sumerS, farmers will be justified in
increasing the output of their farms
with a fair prospect of realizing a
reasonable profit on their invest
ment of time, labor and money which,
in the aggregate, is enormous.
Value Of Principal Crops.
