Big Profits I'm Poultry

Next comes a Produce Exchange
which takes over the handling OF eggs,
live poultry and cream-and here is a
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 $1,000 to 5000
each member buying one or more
shares Of stock at SO each. Then
some bright young farmer is installed
as Manager and the eggs 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 SC to
10 per dozen. AS this is being writ
ten a private dealer at Conception
Junction, Missouri, where we recently
established an Exchange is paying CSC
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 dur
ing December many farmers wives
sold their turkeys for from Csc and
S2c per pound, while the Farm Club
Exchanges paid as high as 45c per
pound. Is there any earthly sense for
the farmers of Missouri TO longer sub
NIT to this robbery when the Farm
Clubs offer them a way out and when
$4,000 will finance an Exchange ?
Likewise we have a contract with
several large creameries which nets
our Exchanges Sc per pound more for
butterfat than non members receive
Usually our Exchanges carry flour
mill feed, etc. at those points which
do not Justify a Farmers Elevator and
they also ship out green hides and
furs and thus obtain the wholesale
price on these items. The poultry
products OF Missouri are worth some
thing like 500. 900, 900 annually-and
our farmers are literally sacrificing
millions Of dollars every year 10 the
present system. Do you and your
neighbors want to keep on losing your
share OF these millions?
The Farm Club Grain Elevators
Next-and as important as anything
else-are the Farm Club Grain Eleva.
tors. During the last twelve months
something like 70 points were taken
over and at the present rate Of progress
the Farm Clubs will be in possession
Of 1870 Of the Grain Elevators OF Mis-,
souri, at the end of the next IS months
Wherever the Farm Clubs shipped
last years wheat crop our members
netted from 1Oc to zoe per bushel
more than other farmers received
where the local dealers had things
their own way. In such counties a:
Charlton, Clark, Scotland, Greene, Sa-
line, Polk, Montgomery and franklin
we have already taken over the lions
share Of the Elevators, while many
other counties are rapidly following
suit And heSe is a typical example
which shows what the farmer is los
ing in the safe Of his grain: In the
winter OF 1919 we organized Earn
