81 made similar tests on other ar
ticles, and in some cases they sold
to the consumer at 800 per cent IN
excess of the prices paid to the farm
ers. All of these tests were made
within thirty to sixty miles OF New
York, the greatest center OF food con-
sumption in the world"
A feature of Mr.. Yoakum's invest
igation which is particularly interest
ing is his comparison of the farm
population and the food-dealer pop
ulation. Concluding this comparison
he says: "There are 100000 families
on farms, and estimating five to the
family gives approximately 33,5OO,-
600 farm population. Taking as a
basis the figures shown by my inves-
tigation, there are about 3,793,OOO
food dealers engaged in selling food
stuffs of every kind produced by the
80, 100000 farm population. Using
the same ratio as for farm population,
five to the family, there are about
100000 food-dealer population.
That is, there is one food-dealer pop
ulation to each one and threezfourths
of farm population. Or, to put it
another way, there is one dealer sell
ling foodstuffs of all kinds from each
one and three-fourth farms-a heavy
load for the farmer to carry"
Mr.. Yoakum explains that his food
dealer population does not include the
army of employees office help, clerks,
delivery people and others-but is
limited to dealers and members of
their families. In New York City
there are $4,000 concerns selling food
stuffs or a food-dealer population of
4OO, GO0-one food-dealer population
to every fifteen of city population.
The ratio is about the same in other
market centers.
The solution the writer says is a
more efficient marketing system I'M
der which producers can market their
products and retain for themselves
sufficient to pay all expenses, taxes,
interest, etc., with fair surplus.
This sounds to the Courier Reporter
like far more reasonable solution
than curtailment of the agricultural
area. In fact reduced production is
not solution at all. It's only make
shift. To increase the price to the
producer by means Of limiting pro-
duction is to attempt to pull the
farmer out of the hole at the expense
of the consumer which would bring
economic loss rather than gain.

PRETTY SICK

IN SPITE of the great strides OF
L medical science and the various
health crusades, the American people
are still a pretty sick lot. During
the fiscal year ended June 80, they
required IL ,26s, 469 doctors prescrlp-
+;ons and consumed for medicinal pur-
poses. 1,347,573 gallons of whiskey.
3O.753 gallons of wine, 9,945 gallons
of brandy, s,i73 gallons OF gln' Z,loo
gallons of alcohol and 2,0l5 gallons
of rum.
This medical treatment was admin
istered in only % states, District OF
Columbia, Porto Rico and Hawaii. In
the states where liquor prescriptions
are prohibited by law folks had to
rely upon homemade remedies fol
treatment of similar ailments.

1T COSTS TOO MUCH

IN placing himself on record as OPP
I posed to any special reclamation
legislation at the Forthcoming session
of congress, Senator McNary, of Ore
gon, tells President Coolidge that
the present need is for restriction OF
farm areas.
If the Oregon senator means to say
that Americas cultivated acreage is
too large and that agriculture is sui
fering from too much agriculture. This
paper cannot agree with him. 1t is
quite true that there is greater need
for something's than there is for rec
lamation money. What agriculture
needs is not reduced farm acreage but
improved, perhaps new, methods OF
distribution of farm products.
With the possible exception of one
or two crops there is no overproduc-
ton in this country and in no case
is production so great as to be dis
astrous were the surplus brought un-
der the proper system of control.
In short, we are not producing too
much food but it is costing us too
much to sell it. On this subject of b.
F. Yoakum, for many years chair
man of the board of the st. Louis
& San Francisco railroad, has written
for "The Nations Business" very
illuminating article
The writer for several years has
carried on series of Investigations
dealing with different crops and diff
ferent markets. AS result of these
Investigations he declares that only
one-third of the price the consumer
pays comes back to the producer. He
says: when the business interests
of the country realize that it is cost
ing 50 to distribute foodstuffs, includ-
inging cost, profits, commissions, etc.,
to each 81 paid the producer they will
realize that it is of paramount i'm
portance to their business and the
continuation of the country's pros
perity that they throw their influence
and force towards cooperative work
with the farmer, that they may carry
on their business with a profit to
themselves and under the same gem
enral rules that govern other indus
tries"
Mr.. Yoakum says the present cost
of distributing any farm product can
be easily traced and takes potatoes
as an example. He says, "Long Island
potatoes sold on the farm at so cents
bushel were sold at retail in New
York at the rate Of three pounds for
ten cents, or 81 per bushel. In this
connection find that this difference
between farm prices and retail pric-
es prevails at all times, regardless
Of the price paid to the farmer. To
illustrate, if the farm price of pota-
toes is So per barrel, the retail price
to the consumer is cents per pound,

TINE PEOPLE of Hover are to be
congratulated upon their enter
prise in putting on an agricultural
show Thanksgiving Day. The idea
is a novel one and the undertaking de-
serving of community support. How
ever, it is rather unfortunate that
the national Turkey day was chosen
for the fair. It's a pretty difficult
task to pull people away from the
annual football game, the family re-
unions and other established institu-
tons of this holiday. Many people
will be kept away from the fair be-
cause of previous engagements and
other attractions.
