Manufacturers in Franklin county,
Massachusetts, headed by well known
men in our ncighboring town Of Green
field are doing commendablc work III
agreeing to take from farmers next fall
certain amounts of potatoes at Gl.50 a
bushcl and beans at So q bushel which
the farmers Of the county may raise in
excess Of last year 5 crop. The big idea
is that the plan will encourage the
farmers to put in 4 greater crop acre
age. Up to date they nave succeeded
in arranging for the purchase of 10000
bushels of potatoes and a large number
of bushels Of beans. The manufacturers
are taking all the chances. and under
the arrangement the farmers are sure
to win III the market is below $50 in
the fan for potatoes the manufacturers
will have at least 10000 bushels on
their hands which they viii be forced
to sell at loss. The plan has this great
advantage to the farmer: They arc
guaranteed $50 bushel for their 20
atoes, but if the market price is above
that figure they are privileged to sell
at the market figure.
