and a sea of lard, in storage, every
pound of which has been reduced In
price because of the presnt market
value of the animal on the hoof.
Not only is this true, but there has
been a constant cutting of price to
retailers during the decline, not much
at a time, 1t may be, but a constant
loss in prices realized. Packers tell
us that they can prove this by their
daily sales sheets, quotations and col
lections.
We recall q day when mess pork
was quoted at $55 per barrel for future
delivery, for instance, in this year OF
grace. Pork for this months delivery
closed in Chicago at s41.50 on Satur-
day; with october delivery at $3.50
per barrel.
There has been a decline of over
IL cents a pound in lard from the high
point in July, and dry salt ribs are
down 10 cents per pound, at Whole-
sale at the packing plants.
The product on high priced hogs in
the packers hands are all subject to
this cut, unless live stock is doomed
again, and this applies to frozen OF
chilled beef, in proportion to the aver
| age decline in cattle.
, Consumers Slightly Benefited.
That consumers have reaped some
benefit of all this would seem to be
inevitable and that this has been true
in Richmond, in a greater or lesser
degree, may be taken for granted, de
pending on the kind Of 'cuts" and
qualities.

vested his money in high priced stun
But the packer can come nearer tc
saving his bacon by averaging Out
than can our friend, the farmer, fol
when the farmer makes a net loss, as
he figures and has figured, the loss or
that sale cannot be wiped out.
His work for the season, or on the
crop, his labor and investment for the
year, comes to balance then ant
there. No temporary break or bulge
in the market lets him out. His mar
keting is done for months to come.

to Farm Products.

Il !: ! / ]
H"NH HE one outstanding and clear
S(0f@s ly apparent fact with rela-
ssz5ssNSs ton to the recent hue and
tNV&i cry as to lowering the cost
sQh.4V of living is this: The live
.tg%SH stock and grain raisers have
49, been large losers of late, and
that, so far as can be learn
ed from any source, no other interest
has been hurt, nor has the public been
benefited ten dollars, where the
farmers have lost hundred.
For example: Do you know Of a
yarn spinner, a weaver Of cottons,
silks, or woolens, or shoe manufac-
turer, or any maker Of clothing for
men, or Of ready-to-wear for women
who has reduced prices a copper cent
a yard, or dime suit, or a nickel
pair on shoes?
Can you name a retailer who has
cut the price, or shall we say his
or of such action by any wholesaler?
To the contrary, each Of these have
advanced prices. and every man of
them is prepared to give you reason
why, a reason at least satisfactory to
himself, however much the rest of us
might disagree.
One Reason Why.
Many merchants are frank enough
to state that so long as labor is so
highly paid for so few hours that they,
the merchants, are entitled to get
their share of freely spent, easy
money. Does any one suppose that
the fact that every man in the build
ing trades at Chicago is now being
paid 81 per hour will conduce to the
lowering of the cost Of a single neces-
sity in that city?
And yet, the men in the building
trades are but a handful compared to
the mass of millions living within a
radious of 20 miles of the Loop. What
of the men of little incomes and sa.
aries? What of this class everywhere?
Isn't there something coming to them
in a reduction of prices which they
have had no part in initiating?
Farmers Large investments.
At the present price of farm lands
the farmer has more money than ever
invested. Consider Wayne county
farms, for example. Consider $4,000
for well improved eighty" for in
stance. Isn't that investment in ex
cess of that in hundreds of retail
stores in a dozen lines? Admittedly
SO.

hams and bacon have become because
of the shrinkage in the prices paid to
farmers.
1t is true that speculative declines
in any line cannot be distributed to
the public in day, nor in a month.
There Is always surplus in all the
channels of trade, bought at higher
prices, which must be absorbed. But
the declines in hogs and cattle have
been persistent, over several weeks,
and If consumers are not being bene-
fitted, generally, in a degree, in every
line Of fresh and cured meats-well,
draw your own conclusions.
The Farmer the Loser.
The actual limit of the break on
cash corn has been II cents, the break
in the December option, a new crop
month, was from $1.73 to $1.16, while
December oats at Chicago broke from
85c to 63c, on the recent low.
! We find no parallel in any line OF
business. whatsoever, nor in the
prices of anything, aside from the
chief farm products mentioned. These
much cheaper hogs have been pamp
cred on So to 1925 per bushel corn
right here at home; in the expectancy
| that prices, even If a trifle lower OF
higher, would not be slaughtered
Farmers tell us that it doesn't look
like a square deal; that it is all toe
onesided.
With December corn down below
81 20 the claim that some Iowa par
ties last week offered new corn fol
December shipment, in cars at one
point, at 81 per bushel, to a Chicago
concern, does not seem unreasonable
Corn will be ready for shipment
early this year, and is now beyond al
danger from frost, though a wet fal
season might be injurious and delay
curing. There is possibility tina,
corn will sell well below a dollar be
fore the next harvest, though of tina
none can tell-depending on country
wide, or worldwide conditions. II
such a case oats now bringing zoe
and better at farm sales, to neighbOrs
would most likely range in the fortie'
at central grain markets. We art
making no predictions, mark you, sim
pen to the farmer.

Between now and then somethins

anybody with a steady job.

you can save on many of these by buy

q better water supply. The hill farmer does not have the best situation in all things. but in many instances he has certain advantages which he does not appreciate.
 It is an advantage to locate in q hog raising community. There are many small problems in management which may be learned through actual ex- perience in ones own community. In such cases the older breeders have for n long time been in contact with local conditions, and new man may profit by their experiences without spend ing several years acquiring one of his own. Then, too, if whole community will raise certain grade or breed of hog, it can obtain a reputation for its product as community such as an in- dividual never could hope to win. When the buyers learn that type or breed of hog which they desire is to be obtained in unlimited numbers in q certain locality, they will naturally turn there first to buy the animals. All of which tends to decrease the diff ticulties of growing and marketing for the small breeder.
 The question of a market must al- ways be considered, especially the fa- cilities for reaching it and the type of hog it demands. Most communities have been successfully connected with the large central markets by the rail roads, but these will be of little avail if the roads to the stations are poor. Good roads are of inestimable i'm portance, for, among other things, they enable the farmer to market his prod ucts at any and all times, thus taking advantage of any favorable fluctuation in the market prices. AS to the type of hog the market demands, that must be determined by local inquiry, but in order to bring the highest market price hogs must be we'll finished and fat. The greatest demand is for 200 to 300 pounds hogs, and farmers generally obtain the most profit by marketing their hogs at weights ranging from 250 to 300 pounds.
