MARKETING DEPENDS
ON ANNUAL SUPPLIES
Don't Have To Buy Back Products
Sold At Beginning OF Season

In disposing of his products the
farmer should first answer the fol
lowing questions: a. Is the commod-
ity to be sold an actual surplus con
sldering his annual needs? (2l Is it in
condition to. market? (3) When is the
best time to sell?
Influenced by the lure of high prices
and the desire to hear the cash lin
gle in his jeans" the average farmer
is often induced to~sell not only the
surplus products from his farm. but
much that is needed for home con
sumption. Many farmers in this State
sold corn at less than dollar bushel
during the fall of 1916, and in less
than six months bought it back for
more than double that price.
When there is no guarantee that
each succeeding years crops will suf-
flee for its neSds, it is the part of
wisdom to conserve little more than
one would ordinarily expect to need
for home use during the ensuing year
One of the most important factors
in marketing farm crops is their prep
aration for market. The Southern
farmer is rather shrewd buyer, but
a somewhat inefficient salesman. Our
principal money crop having been cot
ton, we have not given much attention
to the sale of other products, and, as
a consequence, we have not learned
how to prepare them for market. It
is true that there are a few special
crops, such as peaches, which go on
the market in good shape; but it has
taken years to develop the peach
growers in the matter Of grades and
standards. We must realize the i'm
portance of quality and appearance in
the sale of our products.
A point seldom stressed in connec-
ton with farm business practice is the
distribution OF the sale OF commodities
throughout the year To illustrate
Suppose we knew now that before an
other cotton crop should be harvested
there would be urgent need for thir-
teen million bales and that this years
crop would amount to only twelve, mil
lion. Under these conditions it would
seem that the present crop could be
harvested and sold Immediately to a
good advantage, but we have long
since learned that, mo matter how
I-short'ths crop, it must be sold gradu.
ally if we expect good prices. Why
is it We cannot realize that the same
fundamental principle holds true in the
handling OF other crops?

kets has in its employ over four hun.
dred men, the Georgia State College of
Agriculture over a hundred. All OF
these are at your service I'M. C. Gay.
