the Department of Agriculture.
The Secretary specifies various
items of service that could be
performed by such an office, with
recommendations that they be
adopted, if it is created. The
report covers 391 pages and is
Gro Rded with information with
regard to the subjects treated.
BY PRODUCERS TO CONSUMERS.
The report treats of the move,
nlent of farm products from the
farm to consumer through a
great variety OF channels. The
simplest distribution is the d.
rect one OF delivery by farmer to
Consumer, and next after this is
the delivery Of individual far
merS or associations Of farmers
to individual consumers or as
sociatiOns OF consumers. In
these direct forms of distribu-
ton, the middleman is elimlnat-
ed, although Of course interme-
date services are performed
either by producers or consum-
erS or by both parties.
. INTERVENTION OF MIDDLEMEN.
/ Among the varieties of mid,
dieman concered i'll the market,
ing of farm products are the
travelling hucksters who go from
farm to farm gathering eggs,
butler, poultry. calves, anC
other commodities, which they
{ sell to shippers, jobbers, or lie,
tail dealers. The country mer,
chant is often the first receiver
of such products as eggs, farm.
made butter, poultry, wool,
hides, cotton, and sometimes
gram and hay. In regions
where grain is the staple pro.
duct, the tendency has been t
displace the country merchant
by the grain buyer and the 10.
cal elevator man.
Farmer commonly sci
through commission merchants
and. to some extent directly &c
wholesale dealers and also to re.
tail dealers. The farmer who
employs trustworthy commits.
sion merchant who will handle
his products honestly and honor.
ably will get the current prices
for them within the range of the
commission merchants business
but the farmer often finds him.
self in the hands of a commission
merchant who falsely reports
that the products were received
in damaged condition or thai
they were of a grade lower than
they were in fact, or he reports
receiving prices lower than those
actually received by him for the
products. Worse than this, it is
lby no means rare that the com
mission merchant mas sold the
products and failed to return the
net proceeds.
Samples of transaction in
which only one middleman in.
The Adair County news., 1913-01-08

illustrations OF this are afforded
in the marketing oftcbacco in
Virginia and North Carolina,
wool from the northern Rocky
Mountain States, and to some
extent rice in Louisiana and
Texas. The growers or their
representatives, with their pro-
duce. meet the buyers at these
warehouses.
DIVC2TING IN TRANSIT.
While farm products are in
transit by rail, there are certain
points at which the consisnor
may designate a final destination.
The purpose of this practice is
to enable the consignor to find
the best market for his good.
This is the plan followed in ship
ping fruits and vegetables by
rail from California to the East
and from Southern States to the
North.
ASSOCIATIVE MARKETING.
The Secretary of Agriculture
has much to say concerning as
ISOLATION marketing by farmers,
and the economic advantages
are stated in detail. "A survey
of the systems of marketing
farm products clearly discovers
what the farmers can best do to
their advantage. They must as
sociate themselves together for
the purpose of assembling their
individual contributions of pro-
ducts, of shipping in carload
lots, of obtaining market news at
places to which it is practical to
send their products, to sell in a
considerable number eff markts,
if not in many markets, and to
secure the various other econom-
ic gains of associative selling"
To carrv out this suggestion,
it is recommended that if Con-
gress establishes a division of
markets, a corps of travelling
field agents be maintained to as
sist farmers to form associations
for marketing their products.

Almost $4,000, 900 has been
spent in the anti-tuberculosis
campaign in the United States,
according to the statement issued
by the Society for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis.
The Adair County news., 1913-01-08

tervenes between producer and
consumer include the commission
man at a large market who re-
ceives consignments of live stock
from farmers and sell to pack
ers; the factor to whom the
planter consigns his rice or cot
ton and from whom purchases
are made by millers; the ware
housemen who manage the sale
of a Virginia planters tobacco.
The intervention of two men
between producer and consumer
is a common occurrence. Fruits
and vegetables are often mar
keted through the aid of two
middIemen, the city commission
dealer and retail merchant.
MORE THAN TWO INTERMEDIATES
A series of three middlemen
may include first the local buyer
of the shipper; second, the com
mission dealer of the wholesale
merchant, and third, the retail
merchant. In the sale of fruit,
by auction, which is common in
large cities east of the Miss
issippi River, the auctioneer is ar
additional middleman. He may
sell for a commission dealer, tC
whom the consignment may have
been made BY a country buyer
and the purchaser at such ar
auction may be jobber, who in
turns sells to a retail merchant.
Five middlemen are thus con.
cerned in such a transaction.
Onions raised in Kentucky are
sometimes bought by a loca
merchant and shipped to Louis.
vile; here they may be put into
sacks and consigned to a New
York wholesaler or a commission
man who in turn sells to New
York retailer. Eggs and poul.
try frequently pass through the
hands of at least four middle.
men.
The marketing of clover seed
is an example of a transfer from
one farmer to another through a
number of middlemen. The first
middleman may be an Indiana
jobber, who consigns to a. com
mission dealer in Toledo, Ohio;
here the seed may be purchased
by a merchant and shipped to q
wholesale dealer in a distant
city. The last middleman If
this course of distribution is a
country storekeeper of city
dealer in agricultural supplies
MARKET PLACES AND WARE
HOUSES.
Public market places are es-
tablished in a number of cities
and towns, and in these places
consumers may buy such articles
as fruit, vegetables, dairy pro.
ducts. poultry. and eggs direct
from farmers as well as frem
dealers. r.
Another institution which aids
the producer to dispose of his
crop is the public warehouse

chosen date for return game to

decided to cancel the date for tIis
game which would forever quiet the

Humphreys May Not Hang.

According to statements attributed
to Governor West, the past week, it
is thought that the chief executive
may extend the hand Of clemency. 1t
is understood that much weight has
been brought upon the governor in the
way Of petitions and otherwise to pre-
vent their hanging this month. Dali
las parties who were witnesses 4at the
trial and are well-acquainted with the
men and the facts in the case, be-
lieye that the men and their confess
sions should not be taken seriously.
Confessions made by the men at the
trial, and while undergoing the test
for reward are being taken into
consideration by the governor at this
time, and it is thought by many who
knew the men in Dallas that they will
never "pull the hemp" at the time
named by the court Much Of the
speculation in favor of saving the
necks Of these men is also based upon
the governors attitude toward judi
cial murder.

CORVALLIS BUILDS
NEW BRIDGE
Large Steel Structure Spans the VIII
lamette at Corvallis; Crowd Cele-
brates Occasion.

Benton county's $4,000 steel struc-
ture across the Willamette river al
Corvallis, completed month ago
was dedicated Wednesday with APP
propriate ceremonies. With the city's
business section frightened. with hol-
iday decorations, a parade of county
and city officials, headed by the Ore
Ygon Agricultural Cadets and company
ID. Oregon National Guard, marched
across the bridge at noon, where the
procession was joined by the county
court of Linn county and the return
trip made.
County Judge Moses gave a brief
address. He was followe by Major
J. F. Yates.
A large crowd of people represents
ing every section of Benton county,
visited the new bridge, and also in
spected the Oregon Electric equip
ment brought to the east end of the
bridge for the occasion. The Ore
gon Electries temporary branch is
completed to the Linn county side Of
the bridge, a passenger station has
been completed, and an electric train
was there for inspection of the peo-
pie. The Oregon Electric expects to
operate trains from the east end of
the bridge by tomorrow.
This new bridge will open up
large territory Of fertile land trib-
utary to Corvallis. While Benton
county put up the bulk of the bridge
expense, Linn county and citizens Of
Linn living within three miles Of the
bridge have contributed about $4,000
toward its final completion.
