DBLAWARR COUNTY FARM BIZ.
REAU.

From Producer 10 Consumer:
The county zen has recently IN
yestigated the prices Of meat OF the
towns in the surrounding counties
and finds there is general tendency
10 reduce the price to the consumer.
However, in some districts they are
still holding up the consumer at war
time prices and are forcing down the
price to the farmer and necessitates
/ him to sell below cost. We are In
formed that men have been forced to
sell beef 1t from five to nine cents 9
pound on hoof.
1t would seeem proper that retail
ers should give the Trainer q profit on
his products. The Farm Bureau
wishes to learn what prices have ac-
tually been received by farmers from
the retailers in the county for differ
emit kinds Of livestock. This informa-
tion should be forwarded to the CEN
trail Office In the near future. An effort
is being made to cooperate with farm.
ers who wish to butcher their own
livestock and to dispose Of same, d.
rect to consumers Where retailers
are holding down their profits 70

ducers : reasonable margin such CO.
