tween the producer and consumer
We may take the one item Of prunes
as an illustration. The grower sells
to the packer for cents a pound a
high-grade prune. The packer puts
it into marketable condition and sells
to the jobber at to cents. When
the consumer in st. Louis goes to
the store to buy it, he pays from Is
to 20 cents. The price increases from
400 to 500 per cent between the pro-
Queer and consumer. All other food
products increase in like manner
from 100 to 500 per cent
What Secretary Wilson desires is
not to add to the consumers cost, but
to get the producer better price, by
enabling him to do more direct and
associated marketing. He says the
consumer may also reduce this differ
ence at his end of the line by doing
more direct and associate purchas-
ing The parcel post is not going to
do this work. tt will help in many
things but the great buff of farm
products can not be marketed in that
way. The farm is to be made more
profitable and attractive by getting
the farmers better prices and this the
secretary aims to do without increas-
ing the cost of the consumer, but
rather by opening channels by which
he consumer may also be benefited.
