FARMER DESERVES BLAME.
Faults in His work Responsible In
Part for Conditions.

A great deal OF discussion has occupied
the minds OF people all over the country
Tor the past few months on the subject OF
marketing conditions for poultry products
The United States has appropriated $780,
600 TO carry on the work OF improving
marketing conditions for all farm prod
ucts. especially those OF the poultry yard
The middleman and commission merchant
has been blamed for much OF the In
creased cost OF living
II has been shown. however. by the
Missouri station that the farmer 10 to
blame for considerable OF the loss expe-
rienced through lack OF proper methods In
handling poultry and poultry produA be-
fore they are placed on the market II has
been estimated that seventeen eggs out OF
every hundred marketed are unf1t for sa''
through poor methods on the part OF the
farmer and shipper in placing them on
the market This Is an enormous per
centage and measures should be taken TO
improve the methods for caring for eggs
or fowls about the house II only the
seventeen eggs were saved II would be a
comfortable proht for any man.
Turkeys. ducks and geese as . proht-
able poultry side line for the farmer have
been neglected just as the farmer 10 neg
Letting his possibilities with sheep. That
they are profitable cannot Be denied. yet
the majority OF farmers make no effort TO
keep them on their farms Why?
Two hundred turkeys were shipped from
one county In Texas to the New York
market and sold for an average price OF
20 TO IS cents per round delivered. This
looks profitable. Pekln ducks make the
best market ducks and are good general
purpose ducks as they are good layers

and are willing 10 buy cheap eggs for
