the circular shows IL cents was

as ll12 cents the same date at
Rocky Mount. 1t will not be |
long, at this rate, before poor

Mount will be a thing of the past, :
because the farmers eyes are /
opened by the circular to better !
selling centers elsewhere in his

Similarly, it is seen by the cir
cular that for the May week re-
viewed eggs were quoted at Is
cents at Newton. but ranged be-
tween 20 and 22ka cents at nine
other North Carolina markets. 1t
is apparent that it will pay to +,

this marketing information, will ,
hardly be slow to avail themselves

FOR BETTER MARKETS.

louisiana new Commissions
of Agriculture, Mr.. Wilson. ha
announced that the State De
/, partmcnt of Agriculture will a
once create special bureau o.
markets to assist in the NOR,
profitable disposition of farm
products. His idea. it seems. il
to publish a weekly bulletin
showing what the farmers have
to sell and what they will have
to offer in the future. 1t ap-
pears, too. that he intends to
show in his bulletin the quantity
of produce offered by the differ
ent farmers named. and also to
publish lists Of merchants and
buyers who purchase such goods,
with statement. where possible.
of prices buyers are wiling to
pay. He figures, in this way, to
put buyer and seller into more
direct contact and so assist in
better prices being obtained.
1t is the plan, too, to get coun-
try newspapers to publish such
lists as they are sent out. but we
fear few papers would be able
or willing to publish full lists. It
look to us. moreover. considering
the many thousands of farmers
who might have need Of the serv-
ice that ifseeripuslv taken rp nv
farmers. the task is likely to over
tax the resources of the Depart
ment of Agriculture for the pub
LEGATION Of weekly offerings Of all |
who are not satisfied with prices
received for their farm produc-
ton might easily reach immense
proportions.
There is no question but what
Louisiana farmers just like farm
ers in general over the entire
South. are extremely DESTROYS for
reliable marketing information,
but whether Commissioner Will.
sons plan will serve the need
to be seen. We fear the
problem cannot be as readily
hat way as he hopes it will.
What appeals to us as a thor
Dughly practical aid to better Il
marketing is to post the farmers
throughout the State regarding
prices that are paid for various I
commodities in different market ;
ng centers within the State. We /,
ave before us a weekly circular /
ssued by the North Carolina Agri-
cultural Extension Servise, which
las much to commend it and v
which we think could be prof b
tablv applied as an aid to better e
rices for Louisiana farm pro- t
uce. n
The circular in question shows a
ne prices paid by merchants for
arm products in the markets Of {
,me fifteen cities and towns in t,
'orth Carolina. likewise in the r
earby large Atlanta market, and Q
rices paid the same week for II
,mmodities such as corn and DO h
stoes. Irish and sweet. in such Ii
