CREATING MARKET
FOR FARM PRODUCTS
To Get Number Of Buyers at Mar
ket One Must Have the Goods
to Sell.

(By VIM. A. Schoenfeld, Division OF
Extension, University Of Tennessee.)
If you had a span of mules to sell
and had made arrangement with John
Jones to meet him at the county court
house, at three o'clock Saturday after
noon, for the purpose of selling the
mules, the spot near the county court
house, Mr.. Jones, three o'clock Satur-
day afternoon, would constitute the
market for the mules. You can readily
see that If you could induce John
Smith to meet you at the same place
and time, so that he could also bid
on the mules, that you would have
improved your market one hundred
per cent. That is, you would then
have two buyers instead of one, who
would in all likelihood compete with
each other for your span of mules.
Fundamentally the points necessary
for a good active market are: COM
mon meeting place, sufficient quanti-
ty of marketable farm products, a
large number of competing buyers, and
fixed time when these products will
be offered for sale.
It cannot be expected that a large
number of buyers be present at sale
when only small amount Of products,
of low value, is offered. Hence, 1t Is
often necessary for a number OF
farmers to combine their offerings OF
farm products, and to offer the prod
ucts for sale at the same time and
place so as to make 1t worth while for
| the buyers to come and compete.
Many instances can be cited where
farmers have co-operated in creating
markets for their products. The Good
lettsville, and Lebanon, Tennessee,
lamb and wool clubs; the tobacco
| growers, in the Carthage, Tennessee
| tobacco section; the mule raisers, sur,
rounding Columbia, Tennessee, have
successfully created markets for their
products by recognizing the funda
mentals necessary for creating mar
| ket.
The Division of Extension, of the
University of Tennessee, Knoxville
and U. S. Department of Agriculture
stand ready to assist all unorganized
and organized groups of farmers Oh
communities in establishing markets
for their products, providing sufficien
! quantity of any product is on hand Il
make a home market feasible.

OWNERS OF CANNERY
HELP THE GIRLS CLUBS
Tomato Plants are Furnished Girls by
Large Concern Which Purchases
Crops.

Because the girls Of Tennessee are
learning to grow and can tomatoes
and other garden crops some men who
operate canneries have taken the at
titude that the work the girls were
doing was competitive. Some have
even opposed the work of the Girls
Canning Clubs for this reason. Other
managers Of canneries have taken a
deep interest in the work and have
helped the girls get start.
Such an interest was found in Clai.
borne county when the county agent,
Miss Elsie M. Duggar, began her du'
ties. AS soon as the nature OF her
work became known the owner of the
cannery became enthusiastic over II
and offered to furnish the girls with
tomato plants and to give them
home market for their tomatoes.
