Dishonest Competition

Discrimination in prices for butter
fat is a curse to the dairy industry.
The practice of paying more for but
terfat, where competition is keen and
paying less where competition is alb
sent has been followed and is being
followed by certain cream buying con-
Germs, who do not have the best in
torests of the dairy industry at heart
when doing so.
This practice has been severely con-
demned by dairy officials and dairy
educators and rightly so. In some
states laws have been enacted which
aim to prevent cream buyers from do
ing this, but even with such laws in
force, it is quite difficult to absolutely
prevent discrimination. 1t has always
been our contention that good butter
fat is worth a certain price depend
ing upon the territory in which it is
produced. We mean by this its near
ness to the great consuming centers.
For instance, all butterfat delivered at
st. Joseph, Mo-, is worth a certain
price depending upon market cOndi
tiOns. Whether that butterfat is
produced in a neighborhood where
there is a good strong local creamery
or whether it is produced in a neigh
borhood where there is no local COM
petition should not enter into the
question at all. Neither should the
fact that there are from one to half
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1914-07-18

dozen local buyers of cream have any
thing to do with the price of the but
terfat delivered at st. Joseph.
When a creamery company pays a
high price for butterfat, that is, a
price higher than the market war
rants because of local competition,
they must make it up by robbing some
other community. Such concerns buy
butterfat just as cheaply as they can.
In other words, they meet local COM
petition and the interests of the pro-
Queer are given no consideration what
ever. If the producer is so fortunate
as to live in a community where COM
petition is keen he gets too much for
his butterfat. If he lives in a COM
munity where competition is not keen
he doesn't get what his butterfat is
worth. When he gets too much for
his butterfat he can rest assured that
when local competitive conditions
change he will not be SO fortunate. 1t
is case of "robbing Peter to pay
Paul" all the way through.
Creamery concerns guilty of this
practice, cannot honestly lay claim to
being friends of the dairy farmers and
the dairy industry. They are a posi-
tive detriment to dairying. The real
friends of the industry should join
hands in driving these pirates clear
out of the business.

ent upon their children, or charity, for
for a living. This day is as certain
to come as the Judgement Day, and
is the one terror which frightens
every man. The desire to be indie
pendent, to produce a living which
may be sure and sufficient, is ever al
think Ct their childhood days, when
they We're happy boys on the farm,
and imagine that they want 10 be boys
again, but do not realize that condi-
tons and methods of agriculture, as
well as their own demands and stand
ards of living, have changed in the
past thirty years.
"They are accustomed to electric
lights, city flat, with hot and cold
water, and steam heat, street cars,
theaters, churches, and places Of
amusement Their muscles are soft,
or if they have been working and are
physically strong, their families crave
the city life. Little realizing the
changes which have taken place in
themselves since they were boys,
many have attempted to begin life all
over by buying, on partial payment, a
piece of land from which they expect
to produce living, and large ma
jority of these men have failed-not
because they were not willing to work,
but because they did not know how.
Could these men have spent a few
months studying these lands under ac-
tual farming conditions, have learned
what the soils needed, the best meth
DDS Of clearing them, the proper ro-
