Every move that il made along this

In some lines II trade the wastcful
expenditure involved ia distributing

goods. and the balance * swallowed up
in costs OF distribution and in profits of
the series Of middlemen through whose
hands farm produce goes in it's journey
from the farm 10 the dinner table.
In many other cases, however. the
cost Of selling and distributing goods
is relatively very small. and what is
needed today is some general improve

articles Of every day consumption
which are now loaded down with un-
necessary costs and profits.
There are many good things that re

farmers to get next to the business

Making the Little

By c. c. BOwSFIELD

The question of marketing Is of the
highest importance to the person own
Ing a small tract of land. and i'm fact
10 farmer can afford to ignore H. The
small farmer has 10 treat the subject
as vital ana give il constant attention.
If located near town il is feasible
for q farmer TO have private customers
for much of his produce. The large
hotels and restaurants buy immense
stocks OF choice poultry and fine vege-
tables and fruits. Many private fami-
lies will buy direct from the farm if
they have opportunity to do SO, AMI
they pay literally for high grade com
modities.

ers 20 correspond to the financial
means of land owners the immediate
effect would be intensive cultivation
and greater acreage production Will

improved market system would brine

all products.

and reasonable. they Indicate social
