money, consumers are paying higher
prices for meat, and food is. being
wasted as result of improper mar.
keting.~Yhat is the conclusion reached
by a. committee of farmers, packers,
and railroad officials, which has been
investigating the shipment of live
stock to the South St. Paul market.
The findings Of the committee will
be laid be:o'e the county farm
bureaus, the Minnesota Farm Bureau
federation announced today. The
facts revealed by the investigation
the federation says, are of vital i'm
portance to every farmer in :. the
county who raises livestock for mar
ket. Heavy losses are suffered by both
farmers and townspeople, the COM
mittee said, because shipments TO-
the South St. Paul market are not adj
justed to the capacity of the yards
nor to supply and demand. )
Shipments are SO arranged that
the market is glutted on some days
and undersupplied on others. The re-
port shows that in one week last
year, ALT of the stock cars received
on the South St. Paul market arrived
on Monday, 1875 per cent on Tues
day, 14.5 percent on Wednesday,14.4
per cent on Thursday, 9.3 per cent
Friday>aand 4.E percent on Saturday
"Such condition. the committee
said, "causes CONGESTION on the rail
roads, which means a greater time
on the cars for the stock, with conse-
quent loss in weight and a heavy loss
due to death and Gripping. It also
causes stockyards CONGESTION, makes
it impossible to handle stock efficient
lN forces the employment of a great
many more men than chouM be need
ed, gluts the market and forces pri-
ces down. All this economic waste
means less money for the producer
and higher prices for the consumer
ut is of the utmost, import rtance
that the various railroads do not
schedule stock trains to arrive at the
yards on the same day. We believe
that by getting representatives of
all railroads, producers organizations,
packers and stockyards' to work to-
gether great deal can be done to
improve conditions.'
The committees findings will be
used as basis for recommendations to
railroads and shippers in an effort
to prevent flooding the market with
stock on one dsy and undersupplying
it on other days.
The Minnesota Farm Bureau feder-
alton, the Minnesota Central Coop
erative Commission association, the
Union Stockyards company, the North
Dakota Agricultural college, the
packers and four railroads are repre-
sented on the committee. The inquiry
marks the first time that all these
interests have united to eliminate
