Butter, Egg and Poultry Associa-

Speaker Says Farmer Gets Mon

United PreSS)

St. Paul. MINI. March 16-Closel
relations between the producer and
| the consumer of produce III these days
Of high cost of living, was Ostensibly
the object OF the meeting of the Min
nesota Butter, Egg and Poultry as
ISOLATION, in sixth annual convention,
at the Ryan hotel today. Marketing
and producing better quality prod
uct was considered in several ad-
dresses. There were other things
served besides butter, eggs and pOul-
try which the dealers handle. Served
when the association had dined to-
gether late this afternoon. -
The Old AIibi
That the farmer has come in for
large share of the profits Of the
highest price ever paid in the United
States was the statement Of the dealer
The old alibi supply and demand was
pronounced by several OF the dealers.
But nearly all of them came back
with the complaint that the farmer
got the lions share of the increased
price OF commodities.
Farmers operate the greatest trust
in the United States, some dealers
said unoffcially, and not connected
with the association.
Dealer Is Goat
"The farmer gets the money, the
consumer hell and the dealer is the
goat" this dealer said. 1.-The consum-
n
long running jump and lights astrad-
die of the fellow he pays his money
to. This is of course the dealer"
They tell us about supply and de-
mand, and the newspapers bowling
about speculation and eXorbitant
dealers profits. But the farmer just
sits back and jingles his increased
profits in his pockets, saying nothing
EIe is never satisfied, always demand
ing higher prices for his products, and
all the farmers are combined into
trust to boost prices. Newspapers and
federal investigators and the COM
mon people, who pay the bills, ap-
parently never think of Investigating
the farmer combinations.
Hint At Action
Some sort of formal action, seek
ing to get out from under the re-
sponsibility for high prices and place
the responsibility where it belongs"
was limited at by members of the as
ISOLATION today.
The farmer" one member said.
tells us that while it is true that he
gets five times the amount for his
produce, yet the margin profit that we
make in marketing the produce
should be no larger than it was when
his price was smaller. But he over
looks the risk we take. To fill
car with butter formerly cost us 49,
900. Now to fill car costs us $1O,-
600. Isn't it reasonable that we should
have a greater profit considering the
greater capital involved and the great
er risk taken?" ---.
That an embargo on the export
trade would help domestic trade Con
ditions, and make normal the present
inflated market seems to be the sen-
timent Of the members. Il
