Plain Facts About The Meat Business

The Federal Trade Commission its report
profits stated that the five large packers have been
profeering and that they have monopoly of the market
These conclusions fair and OF serious
only engaged in packing business
but every other citizen of country
The figures given on profits are misleading and the
that the packers have monopoly unsupported by
the facts.
The packers mentioned in the report stand ready prove
their profits reasonable and necessary
The business of the largest American industries
Any citizen who would famiarze himself with It's details
must be prepared for large totals,
The report states that the aggregate profits large pack
ST 40 900 600 for the three years.
This sum compared with $ 900 0o0 as the average
nua profit for the three years before the making
pear that the profit Sl2l 900 600 greater than the
pre-war profit
This compares a three-year profit with one year profa
mancstly unfair method of comparison. Ii is only mis-
leading, but the Federal Trade Commission apparently has
made a mistake in the figures themselves
The aggregate ihreeye profit of 600 earned
sales of four and half billion dollars means
about three each dollar OF saesor mere traction
OF a per pound OF product
Packers profits negligible factor prices of live stock
and No other large business conducted such
small margins OF profit
Furthermore-and this very important-only small po
of this profit has been paid dividends he balapce
has been put back the businesses II had be- you
when consider the problems the packers have had
TO soIve-and solve quickly-durng these years
To conduct this business with higher and
the necessity paying three times the former prices
for live stock has required the of three the
ordinary OF working capital The additional profit
makes only fair this and has been stated the
larger portion OF the profits earned has been used to finance

SAVE SEED
Food Administration Advises Gar
deners to Save Seed for Next
Years Planting.

Columbia.-Saye seed for the pro.
duction Of next years food crop.
This is important, and is urged by
the Food Administration.
While the production OF seed will
be about normal this year, large Or
ders for vegetable seeds have been
placed by foreign concerns for export
to European countries, which former
ly have been exporters of vegetable
seeds to the United States. AS a
result of this, the supply will not be
great enough to meet the demand.
Prices will be high, and the high
price and shortage Of supply will
bring many inferior seed on the mar
ket. To overcome this difficulty it is
very necessary that every gardener
do his part and save seed for next
years, planting.

COTTON SEED PRICE
STABILIZED IN s. c.
Food Administration Fixes Price at
$72 Per Ton for Car Seed and S6s
Per Ton for Wagon Seed-5asis OF
These Prices Shown-Strict Obser~
ance Will Result In Square Deal to
All Concerned.

Columbia.-The price of cotton seei
has been stabilized by the Food Ad
ministration at S72 per ton for cal
seed, and $50 per ton for wagon seed
The basis of the above prices is as
follows: Oil at 171z cents per pound
meal at $50 per ton in any quantity
hulls at $40 per ton; lint at s0.0461
per pound
The Food Administration is doing
all in its power to increase the price
of lint, and if the price of lint can be
increased, the difference will be shown
In the price Of meal.
The strict observance of these
prices by all concerned will result in
8 square deal to all interests, says the
Food Administration.
