Valley Farmers Could
Make Their Market
State Statistician L. B. Patrick Advocates a
Systematic COOPERATION to Sell
arm Products.

The Department of Agriculture is
very much interested in a proper
marketing Of agricultural products
with view of netting the producer
the highest possible returns for his
labor and at the same time to re.
duce the cost to the consumers.
At the present time the consum-
ers of almost every class of pro-
ducts of the soil are increasing
much faster than the production.
1t is the great task of the Depart
ment to arrive at some means that
will reduce the constantly increas-
ing cost of living.
The upper Carson Valley at the
present time presents rather un-
usual conditions to be solved main
ly by the producers themselves even
through the Department of Agri-
cultural, the Experiment station
and the other factors that tend to-
ward general education may have a
great part to play The farmers Of
the valley who are not producing
beef in some way, either by feeding
beef Of their own or by feeding
that which is ranged in the vicinity
or shipped in for feeding purpose
should, in my estimation, be prepar-
ing to cope with the market and the
almost unlimited number of mid
die men by cooperative marketing
of their products and adopting Il
system of planting that would be
uniform to some extent.
The fact that sol will produce
wheat, oats and barley is not suffi-
eient 10 lead each and every farmer
to plant field in three sections or
for community to raise a quantity
of each crop for the market. The
local consumption does not affect
theImarket on the outside a great
deal. but the crops that are for ex-
port are those that cannot be
consumed in the immediate locality
and hence must affect the prices
that are paid for the crops of other
districts similarly situated.
For example we will take a speci-
fic farm where the principal crops
for sale are wheat. oats, and beef
cattle. The cattle buyer arrives
and makes a bid on the cattle. the
mill stuffs buyer arrives and makes
orice on oats and says that he is
stocked with wheat and does not
have any use for it, or else he will
offer price, about So per ton under
the marker price. Such condition
would require that the farmer must
seek some other source to sell his
wheat or lose the profit on the
seasons wheat crop.
The final result would be that
wheat buyer from elsewhere would
arrive and after high expense ac-
count offer the farmer a price,
possibly in advance of the local
buyer. and possibly the same as the
local man. In either case the pro-
ducer loses and the consumer pays

NEWTOWN
Especial to The -Farmer.) )


 By the action of enthusiastic m otor- 1sts of the HawIeyvi11e end of the town this week a brand new outlet from there to the Danbury and New town trunk line was found over the asbandQned section of the old Shepaug and Bethel railroad line. The New York and New Haven Railroad com pany has granted these petitioners the right to use mile stretch Of abandon ed track a private way which shOrtens the distance to Danbury, and gives them the use of the fine road, bed of the trunk line both east and west Before the way to Dan bury was mud road, impossible at certain seasons of the year, and the way to Bridgeport was over the long and steep hill climb to Newtown- By this move the railroad also sirnpliffes an issue that was perp1exing the legal department for now the fences erected by the adjacent property owners who seized the roadbed and annexed it to their lands as soon as the railroad took up their track rails, have come down, and a clear right of way is given to the motorists. It is doubtful if the fences ever will be put back; and the question of title by reversion under which the land graibbers acted, is lost anbandoning thus their putative claims It looks as though the rail- road company scores here and with out legal contest. However this may be. the general public is glad of this short cut, and HawIeyvf1le ex- poets to benefit by an influx of motor ists who will make it a stopping place on long distance trips
