THE MARKETING CONFERENCE.

An earnest body of men took coun-
sci in Chicago recently On the subject
of marketing farm products. No one
could doubt thir sincerity, their de-
sire to find a way out. 1t needed not
the calling of this conference, now the
third in three years, to diagnose the
case. Every one knows it is a long
way to market, and many a nip is TAX
en- from the profits before the farm
produce reaches the consumer. Ec-
onomists have been studying the prob
lem for years. The Department of
Agriculture has recently created a
bureau for this special consideration.
The prescription generally recon-
mended in the recent conference was
that rather brood and general word
Incorporation. The American farmer
may be willing to study this plan if it
is ever formulated so concretely that
it claims his attention as workable.
At present the farmer is not disposed
to cooperate. He is living in the in
dividualistic age and is very much i'm
mersed in it. Indeed, to such an ex-
tent is this true that when his neigh
Dor buys a bull Of a certain breed, in
stead Of getting a heifer or two Of the
same breed and thus helping to es-
tablish community breeding he is dis
posed to buy a bull of another breed.
It is useless to blink the facts of which
this is a concrete illustration. But the
existence Of these facts should not in
any way lessen the effort of thought
full men to discover if possible such
changes in our marketing system as
will permit more than one-half the
dollar that the farmer produces from
being absorbed on the way to market
It is a great problem as confrontt
economists. Every marketing con.
ference should push the question near.
er solution.
