THE MAN BEHIND THE CARBUREToR

Conservative estimates place the number OF motor
vehicles on the farms as 3,5OOOOO not counting
motor driven farm machinery. There are at least
100000 trucks and not less than 100000 automo-
biles used by the farmers
Considering in the light of general production.
these figures present a startling picture In the
background we can see in addition to the farmers
use OF the car the millions of automobiles absorbed
by the residents OF the small towns where practi-
cally every one owns car. Obviously the mark
ct Tor the motor lies in the country, and, obviously
too, the astounding growth OF motor cars absorb
ton is lasting tribute to the usefulness of the
home town newspaper which has been the onlv
meansot contact-except the sporadic scattering
OF few magaznes-between the motor car man
ufacturers and the great American population ,iv.
ing in country America
NO industry in history has shown the rapid and
enormous growth shown by the motor car indus.
try all OF which has been largely due to Ike vision
OF the industrial geniuses who have brought abou,
tins transformation of our travel system Thew
were all born in the country They knew what
contact with country folk mean, and thew have
made persistent and consistent use of the home
town newspapers to carry their message to the
buyers.

PEOPLE ARE EXPLOITING THEMSELVES

Sydney Anderson, OF Minnesota, Chairman of the
Joint Committee OF Agricultural Enquiry, which
recently made an investigation of the various fac
tors entering into the marketing of farm products,
makes it clear that the fads of the city folk and
their demand for constant change and variety plav
quite part in the seemingly low process paid to
farmers for original products.
In the case of package of rolled oats retailing
tor ~ cents which the original producer sold for
81 cents bushel, the following proportions ap-
pear: The retailer got AZ cents, of which SIC
represented expenses Of doing business and cent
his profit. The wholesaler received 1.8 cents of
which 5 was profit. The manufacturer got o6c
OF which cents were profit IL cents taxes 16
cents transportation, IL cents advertising. Sc
selling cost and lS cents cost of manufacture
The elevator which handled the oats got a cents
and the railroad 5 and the farmer 3.5.
Fair-minded men will see injustice in this price
TO the farmer, yet no one seems to have made ex.
tortionate profitht his expense
1T is well, too to consider the effect on prices oi
the great variety of goods OF like kind demanded
by the public. There are countless thousands Of
brands OF all kinds of goods multiplied by the CON
sumner to the point'of absurditv. This means Iaroe
stocks must be carried by retailers and capta tief
up, all OF which the consumer has to paw.
The farmer may be exploited bv the trader hr,
the people plainly are exploiting themselves.

etable oils was not engaged in pea
nut politics neither politics of anv
sort. A simple question of Justice is
involved in their eplea that free trade
is just, only when the manufactured
products shall be subject to the same
ruling as the raw products of the land
and that the direct question in this
case is the one of maintaining liv-
lrg IN growing peanuts. They hold
that the minimum price of the pro-
duct per ton must be $40 to $16O and
not the portended one OF 500 which
would result from the petition of the
organized refiners for cut of 50 per
cent in the tariff The Georgia Agri-
