Community Development Series No. ?
Copyright Applied For)

YHE producers of this vicinity
cannot help but realize the undoubted truth
OF this statement and realizing it. they cannot but
recognize the fact that the greater the feeling in
their fellows their community, and their trading
center, the greater the development possible-for
producers distributors and consumers can best ad-
vance, each his own interest by uniting their inter-
ests together.
The thrifty housewife on the farm, located
few miles out from lively town makes SIS to $40
week from her hens alone. Tt is her proximity to a
good market town which makes this possible. If it
were necessary for her to send her eggs to the Chi
cago market IN as small quantities as accepted local
y, she would sacrifice large part of her earnings
TO transportation spoilage and breakage. Do not
all Who are provided with good local market owe
their patronage all Of their patronage-to the town
that makes the market possible? Further than this
IS it not to their financial advantage to help develop
that market? There can be but one answer.
Il this is true of produce market it is much more
true Of grain market The day this was written
corn and wheat were quoted in Hurley at 62 and 9l
cents respectively It would have cost the producer
36 cents per hundred 20 is cents on corn and
cents per bushe wheat to have shipped it to Chi
cago, where according to market reports, he would
have received Is cents and l07a cents (same gradel
per bushel had it been there on that market day
This would have entailed loss Of q 16 cents per
bushel on corn and SO cents on wheat To answer
this by saying that it could be shipped in carloads
would make poor argument because any shipper
knows that grain shipped the strength of todays
Chicago price has certainty of getting that price
when it reaches its destination because the days of
track buying are over and further the delay occas-
ioned in securing enough grain for whole carload
and the uncertainty of securing cars at the time de-
sired when the market is right makes this an un-
feasible proposition
Again the producer has it in his power to very
materially regulate the local market, while he can
have no weight in the distant market This being
true it is to his distinct advantage to help build up
the local market town. by keeping the money which
it's market advantages give him, circulating within
the community
