NEED FOR BETTER MARKETING
CONDITIONS OF FARM PRODUCTS.

CONDITIONS OF FARM PRODUCIS.
The slump in farm prices win not
be without its value if it teaches farm
ers to work together in the marketing
OF their crops. For score or more OF
years farmers in most sections OF the
country have improved their methods
OF producing crops, but have not even
tried to improve their marketing meth,
DDS.
Blind and unintelligent are the only
words which aptly describe the present
system of marketing farm products.
Until farmers find some method Of
handling their products at wholesale
they will continue to be the victims OF
middlemen. As long as farmers con-
tinue to market their products individ-
ually they will furnish fruitful field
for the middleman, and the middleman
will not be at all to blame, for he is
necessity under present conditions. all
though under proper conditions he
might be almost entirely eliminated

The Fordney tariff bill is forged up
on lines calculated to benefit few
and unnecessarily burden very many.
That accounts for the fact that there
is little enthusiasm over the measure
anywhere, and open hostility to it in
many quarters, especially among labor
organizations.

Part of this is undoubtedly explained
by the rate Of exchange. The Amer
lean dollar being worth more than the
Canadian dollar. But much of it has
got to be explained in some other way,
and as Canada exports an enormous
surplus, and that surplus must rule
the market, the explanation must
necessarily be found in better market
ing facilities abroad. That is, Canada
must be reaching the European market
under much more favorable conditions
than the United States.
Perhaps before anything else is said
we ought to stop to consider how abb
surd the recent emergency tariff
against Canadian grain must look in
the face of these market prices. We
have gotten so in the habit of looking
on the tariff as cure-all for every
thing that the first suggestion is al
ways to put tariff up against foreign
trade. We see here just how much
effect tariff has when we have a
surplus to SELL And yet really intell-
igent farm leaders have talked as
though tariff against Canada would
help the American farmer.
The next thing to consider is that
Canada, all through this postwar per-
iod, has had plenty Of money and cred
it and has suffered no setback because
business could not be properly f.
nanced. This is all the more>remark-
able since Canada had two years more
of war than the United States, incurred
much heavier public debt in proper
ton, and strained financial credit much
more severely. But the Canadian banks
have not raised the rate of interest
since the war, nor curtailed credit to
any legitimate business sor industry,
and the farmer in Canada is building
more this year and doing more than in
any one year before. As has already
been published the farmers are put
ting up in western Canada at this time
1900 silos, more than were ever built
in all Canada in one year before.
How closely related the sudden coll
lapse of credit and the sudden collapse
of market for the American farmer
are nobody seems to know, but credit
and market have both collapsed in a
year when Canada, wholly farm
community, working under precisely
the same general conditions, Is having
q year Of substantial farm prosperity,
with good foreign demand, and plenty
Of money to work with. On the very
face Of it something must be wrong
with the American way of handling
the situation. The American farmer
has stood shrink Of $4,000, 100000 in
one year, at time when the Canadian
farmer has been making good some of |
the losses Of the war.
