The Problem

Complaints, individual efforts, poll
tics, have neevr gotten results be-
cause the problem is a business prob
lem: namely, how to meet the law of
supply and demand so as to get the
best prices at the lowest cost OF
handling; that is, how the farmer
may get a more reasonable share OF
the consumers dollar paid for farm
products, =
I. Is it the farmers place to sell
his product? If not, then he must
produce at lower cost or he must
reduce his scale Of living. Economic
production may be improved some
what by better, more scientific meth
DDS; but further reduction in the
scale Of living means less progress in
education, good homes, good roads,
social conditions, etc., which are now
much below what they should be. 1t
,is as logical for the farmer to control
the sale Of his product as it is for the
troll the sale Of his product.
g. Is the farmer entitled to big
ser share of the consumers dollar?
The farmer now gets, on an average,
only very small fraction Of every
l~lf Io1v &t1@ f0x fo,,
products. How can he get more?
Only by controlling the crop until it
reaches the consumer. That can be
done only by united or cooperative
effort. In Denmark, where cooper
ative marketing is followed, the far
mer gets 49 cents of the consumers
dollar.
What Constitutes Marketing.
(1) Assembling the product, CD
Grading. CD Warehousing, ca Trans
Dortation, 60 Financing, (6) skillful
selling. Practically all Of the work in
rluded under these heads is done by
somebody other than farmers, whom
we call the ''middleman. Of course,
this middlenlan gets al profits aris-
ing from doing these things. Selling
, in driblets rather than large quanti-
ties means lower prices. The farmers
ignorance of grading, which is now
done by 1uyers and spectators, re-
suits in more loss. Lack Of proper
warehousing and financing results in
loss in quantity and helps to cause
rush selling at great sacrifice. To
sell skillfully requires knowledge Of
the product, cost of production, sup
ply, demand, etc. The individual far
mer does not have this knowledge and
can not command it.
Individual Selling Is Poor Business.
Why? Because
/. The farmer is naturally more a
producer than a trader or business
man.:
2. Acting alone, he can do very
little with the various steps that con-
stitute marketing. AS an illustration
Of how organized effort results in sue
cessful financing, the Missippi long
staple growers have been able to bor-

If you haven't the ready cash,

Contrary to the idea that seems
to prevail in certain circles
Merchants who sell on credit terms
or partial payments do not urge
people to go in debt for things they
do not need.
Extravaganza is not encouraged,
but on the other hand and especially
at this particular time, credit smer-

pose of the surplus stocks of mer-

Because of their unboLnded faith
in the honesty of the people they are

main unsold.
