INTERROGATION AND
MARKETING.

Last October the business men OF
Bryan and the farmers of Brazos
County. cooperating with the extern
sion service OF the A. & NJ. College.
started campaign for growing and
marketing diversified farm products.
The following from the Graford Her
aid (Palo Pinto County, reflects the
far.rcaching influence Of the work In
augurated in Brazos County:
"Mr. Craycroft says that the egg
depot OF the Palo Pinto County Mar
keting Association at Mineral Wells.
Of which he is in charge, can use
about $50 dozen day, and they are
not getting anything near enough TO
supply the demand. Every egg sold
from the depot is sold under a guar.
antee. and should a bad egg be found
they give the customer two good ones
in It's place"
The marketing problem has many
phases. some OF them difficult to meet,
while others are comparatively sim
pie. The simplest phase OF the prob
lem Is the one having TO do with
quality. II is to be feared that many
of our farmers have In the past pro
ceeded on the theory that quality was
of interest to the consumer and ol
little or no concern to the producer
We are coming to learn for fact that
no man is quite so deeply concerned
about the quality Of his product as Il
the producer himself. And this les
son, when learned in all its fullness
win lead directly TO cooperative sell
ing associations. And these agencies
will prove mighty factors In pric'
getting for the producer.
Let the good work go on. BraEoI
County pioneered the movement an'
will in due time reap her own rewar'
by establishing associations and ware
houses TO care for the products o
garden. orchard and field.
