the Farmers of Audrain Co.

/ farmers continue T., sell to the local
stock buyers. Wouldn't you like to
belong to such a Slipping Association
in your community?
Big Profits in Poultry.
Next comes a Produce Exchange
which takes over the handling Of eggs,
live poultry and cr:am-and here is q
plan which alone during 1919 put not
less than a cold million dollars in eX-
ira profits into the pockets of our
members. Usually the Exchange is
capitalized at from 5 $4,000 to 5000
each member buying n or more
shares of stock at $40 each. Then
some bright young farmer is installed
as Manager and the g g and live
poultry are consigned to one Of the
big wholesale firms which are hand
ling this Department for the Farm
Clubs. All over Missouri where our
Exchanges are in operation We have
advanced the price of eggs from 81 to
lOc per dozen. As this is being writ
ten a private dealer at Conception
Junction, Missouri. where We recently
established an Exchange is paying 65c
per dozen for eggs while At another
point 10 miles distant where the same
dealer has a house but where We have
not yet established an Exchange, he
Is only paying 55c per dozen. So iIy-
ing December many farmers wives
sold their turkeys for from pc and
32c per pound while the Farm Club
Exchange paid as high As - per
pound. Is there any earthly sense [o-
the farmers Of Missouri 20 longer sub
NIT 10 this robbery whar the Farm
Clubs offer them I way on. an. when
So. ZOO will finance an Exchange d"
Likewise We have { contract with
several large creamerieS which netS
our Exchange Sc per pound more Tor
~outterfat than non members receive.
Usually our Exchanges carry flour,
mil! feed, etc. az those points which
do not justify q Farmers Elevator and
they also ship OF: green hides and
turs and thus obtain the wholesale
price II these items. Tie poultry
products Of Missouri are worth some
think ike 500, 600 600 ar~ually-ani
L farmers are literally sacrificing
millions Of dollars every year to the
present system. Do you and your
neiehoors want 10 keep on losing your
share Of these Millions
