LARGE JERSEY
FARM CROPS
Question of Spread of Price
Between Consumer and
Retailer Discussed

TRENTON. June 2S.-With big
farm crops in prospect in New Jer-
sey and the old question of a fair
spread in price between the consum-
er and retailer once more attracting
wide public interest, the State Bur-
eau of Markets is endeavoring to
throw the light of facts upon this
much-discussed subject. The bur-
a makes nc attempt to say what
the spread should be in the sale of
perishable farm products but it
finds, according to market special
lists, that much of the criticism aim
ed at retailers is frequently founded
on ignorance of conditions and the
cost of service which the consumer
demands under present marketing
systems.
Bureau men say that while, n
doubleday, there is sometimes a wide
range between farm prices and
store prices on the same article, a
thorough study usually reveals that
the profits of the retailer r not
what they appear to be at first
glance. The same Investigations
indicate some excessive but isolated
profiteering on certain food pro-
ducts but these are found to be ex-
ceptions.
In a certain New Jersey city. last
year, a retailer sold New Jersey
potatoes for fifty cents a half bushel.
or about $500 a barrel. The farm
Ell got $1.40 a barrel for the same
potatoes. What went on in the
dark" between the field and the
store is told by Frederick V. Waugh,
a bureau specialist.
I'm this particular case" says Mr..
Waugh, "the farmer received, un-
graded, S1.40 a barrel or S1.27 a
sack for his potatoes. The country
shipper received, graded and sacked,
$1.55 a sack. For transporting the
potatoes, the railroad received 1874
cents a sack, which made a total
of $1.74A. The wholesaler sold the
sack of potatoes for $500 and the
retailer disposed of the potatoes in
half bushel quantities at the rate of
$3.50 a sack.
The public should learn that this
IS the kind of facts we must find in
order to study the marketing situa-
ton fairly. Instead of merely COM
pairing the farm price and the retail
price. the consumer should know lust
what happened while the potatoes
were on the way from the farm to
trip for which he nat
urally must foot the BILL"
Aierhet men say that when the
public begins 10 study these facts in
their relation to the cost of living"

Half Thousand
Pigments Help
Produce Rubber

That rubber as 1t serves you is no
direct tree-to-home affair, but that
more than 500 different pigments and
ingredients enter into 1t to make it
disable, is pointed out by the chem
ical engineers Of The B. F. Goodrich
Rubber Company, Akron. Ohio
These, they say, are vital to produce
rubbers that meet the varying de-
mands for toughness, elasticity and
hardness.
Furthermore, few people realize
how tremendous the rubber industry
has grown, and how far-reaching
last quarter century. A little over
statistics issued by The B. F. Good
rich Rubber Company. rubber product
manufacturers represented one Of
the lesser industries with a total
aggregate volume Of a little better
than 40 million dollars in business
annually. Now, however. the indus
try ranks with steel and its annual
business volume approaches the as
tonishing figure Of two billion dollars.

on long trip. you perhaps give little
attention to the part rubber is play
ing in making your trip interesting
and comfortable. II tire blows out
and you are miles from the nearest
service station you begin to realize
then just how important COM
modify rubber really is.
The automobile tire part Of the
rubber industry is now a giant. At
least forty-eight million of those
tires will be required during 1923 to

the running. But the development

OVERLAND UPSETS
AUSTRALIAN RECORD

In far off Australia the Overland
has knocked off its exalted position
a record that stood untouched for
nine years. Back in 1914 an English
car with a Brooklands track reputa-
ton for time shattering perform
ances hung up a record of IA hours
and 81 minutes between Adelaide and
Melbourne. This feat gradually grew
to become a classic in the minds of
Australians who regarded the time
as unbeatable.
Recently Australian representa-
tives of the WHY'S Overland Com
pany decided to take a crack at this
tradition" and trotted out an Over
land to undertake the task Of beat
ing the former record.
The car used was the nearest to
the standard model that had ever
been seen in a record breaking event
in that country The gear ratios
were not altered and factory springs
without shock absorbers were used
and no part of the running gear was
reinforced except that the back
wheels had discs put over the wood
en- spokes to, keep them from break
ing in the rough mountainous coun-
try. A large gasoline tank with

continually fed to the motor. Three
and one-half gallons of water were
carried with pressure pump avail
able so that the mechanic could sup
ply the radiator at all times. The
dynamo was removed and the mag
neto put on direct drive. The oil
pan was lifted to give bigger splash
and the only radical mechanical de-
parture from the regular equipment
were light steel pistons. The car

morning and at 1.57 hit the dreaded

|CRETE ROAD CONTRACTS

Contracts for the laying Of 5,997, 900
square yards Of concrete for roads
were let in May.
In 1919, concrete road building aver
aged only 3.435,000 square yards
monthly. The following year the
average was 2,454.000 yards monthly;
in 1921 it was 100000 yards and in
1922 it rose to 4,S63,000 yards. The
average for 1923 thus far is 4,232,000
yards. The months of peak construc-
ton Of 1923 are yet to come.
However, the increase that is antici-
pated during the coming months may
be halted or at least kept down by a
shortage of labor. Road making COM
petes for labor with the construction
Of buildings which generally pays
higher wages. Since labor for con-
struction of buildings is now receiving
wage scales that are close to those of
the period of the World War, road
making may suffer correspondingly.

Dun'S Report

New York, July 13.-Dun's tomorrow
will say:
Contraction Of demand and decline
of prices mark the present mid-sunl.
mer period in different branches Of
business. A further reduction Of out
put in basic. industries also Is wit.
messed and there is a sharp contract
between the slowing down process now
and the noteworthy expansion Of the
first quarter Of the year. The change.
however. is not unnatural, activities in
variably diminishing at this season.
and confidence still prevails in many
quarters. While new buying has clear.
ly abated. with many requirements COW
cred by the previous heavy participa-
ton. the absence Of excessive accumu-
lation of goods is favorable augury.
Various statistical measures show that
transactions continue of substantial
volume in the aggregate. and there Is
no precedent for the total Of carload
ings reported for the end Of June. The
remarkable freight movement repre-
sents orders placed some time ago,
rather than current business. but 1t af-
fords unmistakable evidence Of the de-
cisive industrial revival that has &C.
