PRODUCERS AND CONSUMERS

The address made to the farmers in
Logan on Friday by D. T, Smith, man.
ager of the Salt Lake Growers E1-
change, was one Of noteworthy I'M
portance Mr.. Smith as manager Of
that exchange IN this city, has first
rate working knowledge Of the matter
Of supply and prices. He knows that
the farmers IN Davis and Salt Lake
counties who raise produce for the con-
sumption OF the people Of Salt Lake
City lose very greatly when they sell to
the middlemen rather than to the con-
sumers direct, and that on the other
hand the consumers lose In not buying
direct from the farmers. This knowl-
edge has como to him by reason Of
the fact that for q number Of years
past there has been under his general
supervision an open market on Second
West street, between South Temple and
First South, where tho farmers were
enabled to sell from their wagons di-
farmers get better prices than the re-
tailers here would pay them, and the
consumers buy for considerable less
than they would have to pay to the re-
tage both to the farmer and to the
consumer. It has also tended powerful
ly to regulate prices and restrain ex.
tortion. The open farmers market has
been a sort Of Clearinghouse whereby
the consumers could protect themselves
and at the same time benefit the farm
ers.
1t is Mr.. Smiths idea to eliminate
so far as possible the middleman and so
increase the profits to the farmers by
enabling them to get better prices
while at the some time helping the
consumers by offering them good and
fresh vegetables at prices less than they
have to pay at the stores.
Mr. Smith urges that Salt Lake City
"needs a public market more than il
needs public parks And as a prac.
tical proposition he is quite right. There
is no question Of the great advantage

And yet, we want the parks too.
Another proposition of Mr.. Smith 4
was that the delivery system in Sal
