Fundamentals of

Wide Margin in Price Paid

There Is usually a wide margin be-

growers Of cowpeas and the price paid
" consuming farmers. Much of this
margin Is for services in the channels

says.
Better Marketing.
The fundamentals Of better market
Ing Of cOwpeas are better preparation
Tor market and care In determining the
lime Of marketing and In selecting the
agency through which the crop Is sold.
Better preparation for market includes
recleaning. after threshing or hulling,
so as to emove all foreign matter and
lightweight and broken seeds; and the
use Of sound sacks. securely tied or
sewed. The services Of recleaning and
sacking necessarily carry a cost with
them. but by performing these services
On the farm the grower will receive an
Increased price for his cowpeas.
Unstable markets for cowpeas are
found to be due largely to the variation
To- l~~r-- -
lion In any section from year to year.
The demand for cowpeas Is limited and
Is affected by the buying power of the
farmer, the quality of the crop for
planting purposes and the comparative
price and supply Of seed Of other
crops. notably soy beans and velvet
beans. which compete In the crop rota-
ton. Geographical preference for va

mill was done mysteriously and no
