NRkEEKLY BULLETIN
BUREAU OF MARKETING,
News to Publish "Wants" and "Ofers" for
Benefit of Many Farmer Friends

INC ~ puIpOSe VI the state
Bureau Of Marketing has been to
enable people heretofore raising a
surplus of farm products and be-
ing unable to sell them to dispose
OF these products in other sections
OF the state where they were wanted
and vica versa to enable those want
Ing things they could not buy in
their own community to get them
and to know exactly where to get
them. That the Bureau has been
doing just exactly this and is even
going further now and bringing the
people themselves into closer per-
sonal relations although they may
never have seen one another is amp
ly evidenced by the following para
graph from letter OF q farmer re-
siding in Marlboro county who this
week registered 8 wants and four
teen offers. 'I am continuing to
get results from the use of this me-
dunn nd think you are doing a good
work by bringing the farmers and
men OF other occupations as we'll
closer together in matters of bust
ness. feel like have made a good
many friendsAhere and there over
the state in my business dealings
buying and selling and making ex-
changes through the medium OF this
weekly bulletin"
This week the business OF the
Bureau is larger than ever. The
wants have been far more numerous
than ever before and the Bureau
from its list of offerings was able
to attend to most OF them, but there
.TSJre sixteen important calls that
SlShld not be met at all. The bulle-
tin, however, will probably find the
articles wanted.
All parties who wish to make use
OF the services OF the Bureau are
again admonished that when they
see want or offer in the bulletin
Il is only necessary for them to
write a card to the Bureau and ask
for the address OF the party, and
that under no circumstances must
money be sent to the Bureau. The
address wanted is promptly furnish
ed to the inquirer and the transac-
tion must be effected between the
parties. Whenever n check or money
order or stamps are sent to the
Bureau it simply necessitates the re-
turn of the same to the remitter and
occasions an unnecessary delay.
During the past week the Bureau
has been asked frequently il the
Department Of Agriculture was again
furnishing cultures for velvet beans,
cowpeas and other summer legumes
as last year at the rate OF 40 cents
per acre post charges paid. For the
information Of all concerned the an
nouncement is made here that the
same delivered rate prevails this year
and that the department has on hand
at all times fresh incubation bac-
terra for all OF the summer legumes.
Deliveries can only be made, how
mitted by money order or checks.
The Bureau would announce also
that the department. notwithstand-
ing the mari plant has been shut
down for installation OF additional
machinery, has on hand some 600
or 700 tons OF high grade mari from
which deliveries can be made i'm
mediately. The cost Is only $1.25
per ton at the mine plus the freight
which Is at a lower rate than here
tofore prevailing for similar mate
rial making the average delivered
price in the state around 1925 per
ton.
