Community Marketing.

Marketing in community units will
be kept in mind The consumption end
of the problem will be carefully looked
into. The whole idea is to bring
the producer and consumer together
with the least possible amount Of
waste.
Just now, to illustrate, the division
wants to know why the cotton oil
mill men of South Carolina are over
in Georgia buying seed. while the Geor-
gia cotton oil mill men are over in
South Carolina doing the same thing
But is that any more remarkable
than that the farmers in Denmark
who are shipping butter and eggs
to England are buying canned corn
from America at forty cents a can
that is selling in this country at IL
cents? 1t is said that the farmers
in Denmark are raising so few vege-
tables that as people they are sut-
fering in health on that account.

Chicago Markets.

Chicago, Dec. 11.-Heavy rains in
terfering with the Argentine harvest
caused the wheat market today 10

ahead put strength into corn. Oats
held steady. Provisions sagged at the
outset, owing to lack of demand, but
subsequently recovered in sympathy
with corn.
Unanimity of bullish sentiment in
wheat made buyers cautious, and the
market fell back. The close was easy

Bryan continued. "He works in con-

MARKETS DIVISION
WELL UNDER WAY
Great Things Expected of New Bureau
in the National Department
of Agriculture.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. -
The division of markets in the de-
partment of agriculture is getting I'M
der Roadway with good prospects that
it will attain the degree of usefulness
hoped for by the men at whose sug-
gestion it was established. There are
already twenty-four persons at work,
with Charles ]. Brand at the head of
the division. 1t is doubtful If any
movement of similar Importance In
the interest of agriculture was ever
put into operation in so short time
after it was planned. 1t has been
only about year and half since the
officers of the Farmers Union first
conferred with Senator Hoke Smith
and Congressman Galloway of Texas
and Webb of North Carolina, and yet
the division, backed by fifty thou
sand dollar appropriation, has been
organized for months.

City Marketing.

The division of markets is also in
yestigating the matter of city market
ing, which includes wholesaling, re-
failing, auction sales, the utilizing Of
trolley car service, etc.
Mr.. Brand mentions as an illustra-
ton of what preparation will do the
method of the Long Island railroad,
which has big vegetable farm on
Long Island. 1t has what it calls the
hamper system. A hamper is made
to hold, say, six smaller boxes. A
man in New York gives an order for
hamper with directions as to what it
shall contain, say, box of beans. one
of peas, one of turnips and 80 on.
or he may leave 1t all to the garden
er and his hamper is sent to him
every two or three days, going di-
rectly from the garden to his home.
This idea in the course of time will
be utilized to great advantage through
the parcels post
Senator Smith regards the division
of markets as Of very great import
ance. He expects it to grow into Inn
mense usefulness. The bill which he
introduced at the suggestion Of the
officers of the Farmers Union has
been one OF his pet measures, rank.
ing with his bill for agricultural col
lege extension work. and the part
he has taken In establishing the par.
cells post. The senator has spoken
in favor Of governmental aid to road
building and believes 1t is coming in
the near future. With good roads, the
development Of the parcels post, with
q farm demonstration in every county
and the market division helping the
farmers to protect their crops, he
thinks important steps will have been
taken to put agriculture on bust
ness basis and the American farmer
will grow more and more indspend.

Investigating Cotton.

There are men in Georgia from the
markets divisions at this time making
an investigation to see if the farmer
who produces high grade of cotton,
or who handles his cotton with care
receives the actual increased value,
or if his cotton is paid for on practi-
cally the same basis as inferior
grades. Samplers are taking samples
of individual bales and they will be
followed through to the mills that will
use the cotton.
Information will be gathered as to
what kinds of cotton can be best
produced in a given section and the
farmers will be advised so they can
produce the kind best suited to that
section and thus help to standardize
the product of that locality.
Along with that will be furnished in
formation as to the kinds of cotton
the various manufacturing points de-
sire Augusta, for instance, has rep
utation for desiring high grade Of
cotton. The division of markets is in
vestigating to see If Augusta really
pays the higher price for the fine
grades shipped there. Atlanta takes
a different grade, and so on. This sort
of information will put the farmers
wise to marketing conditions.

The Fight Is Quickly Won

The bill was introduced in the SEN
ate by Senator Smith and was passed
without much delay, but it met OPP
position in the house. where it did
not get out of the committee, although
Senator Smith did succeed in getting
through an appropriation for pre-
liminary investigation. At the next
session a report covering five hundred
pages was made by the department
of agriculture endorsing the plans of
the bill For a second time Senator
Smith put the measure through the
senate as a rider on the agricultural
department appropriation bill The
house conference committee still
fought it, but Senator Smith forced
a compromise by which $4,000 was
included in the appropriation bill for
the preliminary work of starting the
division, so that in about year af-
ter the first meesfhg was held at
which the officers of the Farmers
Union suggested the bill the depart
ment was in operation.

The First Suggestion.

In the meetings of the Farmers I'm
ion the members. in their discussions,
were brought face to face with the
fact that all over the country food
was rotting in the fields and orchards
because it could not be gotten TO
market. Potatoes were twenty-five
cents a bushel in one state and a dol
lar and a quarter bushel in another,
and so with other products.
1t was found that while the con-
Stunning public was paying the highest
possible prices the farmers were not
getting over, say, forty per cent, OF
what the consumer paid. IL occurred
to the delegates at these national
gatherings that if the government was
to spend millions in teaching scientific
production it might spend something
on scientific marketing, and this was
the germ of the division of markets.
One day in the early spring of last
year five men called at the Office OF
Senator Hoke Smith. They were
Charles Barrett, president OF the
Farmers Union; R. F. Duckworth, a
member of the Legislative committee;
]. H. Patten, attorney for the organ
ization; T. j. Brooks and A. c. Da-
Wis, prominently identified with the
Union. They laid the proposition be-
fore the senator President Barrett
said:
"The best thing you could do for
the farmers of this country would be
to pass a bill establishing division
of markets in the department of agri-
culture, which would help the farmers
to market their crops. To make a
crop is one thing, but to market farm
products at a profit is really more i'm
portant than increasing the yield"
Senator Smith entered at once into
the plans and it was decided to enlist
the interest of Congressman Galloway
and Webb to press = the bill in the
house.

is a G-eat Undertaking.

The task of establishing and work
ing out the division Of markets is far
more difficult than would be suppos-
ed. At first glance it seems easy
merely keeping the farmers advised
as to prices and supply conditions at
various points.
That is not the problem at all. 1t
will take several years to bring the
division to the state of usefulness con-
templated and in time it may almost
rival the department of agriculture
itself In Importance. When it is re-
membered that the agricultural prod
ucts of the country run into the bill
lions and that we have foreign as
well as domestic markets and that
the division will concern itself with
everything from the marketing of but
ter and eggs to the marketing of cot
ton, the great crops Of wheat and corn,
it's field of usefulness is almost with
out limit. 1t means such organiza-
ton and cooperation among the farm
ers that the man who produces will
be afforded shipping facilities with
such reduction of expense between
producer and consumer that both will
be benefited.

discouraged over the result of their
efforts this year. For nearly two
weeks threshing machines through
this section have been turning out as
fine a quality Of grain as has ever
been raised in this part OF the state,
While the yield this year may be
some less than that of last year, there
is an increase in the acreage, and as
the grain is of an exceptional quality.
it will nearly all grade No. ! Hard
and will bring the highest price when
placed on the market. There a a
good crop in this section last year,
and everyone has been in good tinan-
cial circumstances throughout the
past year, and the farmers are about
to add another abundant yield Of
grain to the market and everyone
here is well satisfied with the out
look.
When | passed through Braddock
yesterday Editor Mccormick and Sen
ator Allen told ine that in the vicinity
of their town the threshing Of grain
was well advanced and the wheat
crop in that vicinity would yield no
less than 10 bushels to the acre.
There has been plenty Of help, and
40 rains to interfere with the farm
ers' progress and as a consequence
the grain is being put away rapidly.
A larger amount Of fall blowing than
usual will be possible this year.
Around Mofit there are signs OF
prosperity among the people. Several
new buildings are going up there and
the farmers nave good crops. There
is az good depot, built there recently,
under the direction of Supt. S. w.

pie Of that little place are acquiring
tell me that this little place did over
$4,000 worth of business last year.
There are f1ocks OF ducks in the nu-
merous lakes down this line of the
500 and chances are that the numer-
ousnimrods at Bismarck who are plan
ming on spending several days out
ing at Long lake when the hunting
season opens will not be d%isappoint-
ed.
Practically a million bushels of
wheat we're marketed at Napoleon
last year, s o they tell me, and fully
as much will be marketed here this
year. Threshing is we'll advanced in
this section. Fifty percent Of the
grain through lagre was cut with
heading machines and stacked, but
the farmers are finishing their thresk,
ing as rapidly as the machines a
get to the grain. There are four large
elevators at Napoleon, this year, and
with the two new mes that have been
built UP the line this year, there will
be no trouble in caring for the large
amount Of grain produced here.
Napoleon does not exceed in popu-
