You Pay Nine Profits When You
Buy Western Grain, Meat
And Hay

When the.- Southern farmer buys
corn, meat, or hay from the West he
pays eight profits, as follows:
l. The price received by the Wes-
tern farmer for the product.
2. Charges for handling, hauling, and
shipping from farm to freight cars
wherever the product was raised.
3. A profit to the local buyer at the
Western point.
4. A profit to the Western whole
saler.
8. Expense Of hauling by railroad to
the South plus profit to the railroad
company.
@. A profit to the Southern whole
salcT handling the product.
Z. A profit to the Southern local
dealer or merchant selling to the
Southern farmer-buyer.
s. The time and expense of hand
ling and hauling the product from the
local store to the farm of the Southern
consumer.
Just to see how this works out, let's
take the last monthly Issue Of Crops
and markets, issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
This shows for each State in the Union
the average price paid to farmers pro-
ducing that crop in that state on June
10, 1924. Now let's compare prices of
corn, wheat. oats and hay in the West
and in the South. Here are the fig-
ures:

Wheat-Wheat in Iowa and Kansas
was 92 cents, 81 cents in Nebraska,
and 50 cents in Colorado, against SLID
in Tennessee, $1.3O in North and South
Carolina. and S1.4O in Georgia.
Corn-The farm price of corn was
IS cents in North Dakota, go cents
in Colorado. Gj cents in Nebraska, and
I8s cents in Iowa, against $l25 in
Georgia, S1.15 in Mississippi and Ala
hama. ana Sl.O5 in Texas-the Georgia
price being double the Dakota price.
Oats-Thc farm price of oats was
30 cents in North Dakota, 81 cents in
South Dakota, and 40 cents in Mime
sofa while the Alabama price was 20
cents. and the Georgia price so cents
more than double the price in the
Dakotas.
Hay-On June 10, hay was only 81
ton in South Dakota, while the price
In Texas was SIG, in Alabama SIS,
Tennessee $2O5O, South Carolina $50,
Georgia S22, North Carolina 500, and
virginia S23.5O-Texas prices being
more than double the South Dakota
price. while Georgia, Virginia and
North Carolina prices were more than
three times the price in South Dakota,
Nor do these figures tell the whole
story. Two additional facts need to
be emphasized
1. The price Of these products as
given for the Southern states is the
farm price. The man who buys from
merchant necessarily must pay a
dealers profit in addition, even when
he buys for cash.
.. The truth is, however, that the
Southern farmer who buys corn, meal,
or hay from the West is seldom able
TO pay cash. Consequently, in addi-
tion to the eight profits already enum-
Grated, the man who buys corn, meat
or hay from the West must nearly al
ways pay still another profit as fol-
lows:
o. A big extra profit to the local
merchant for carrying him as a 'time
price" risk.
In an investigation made by the Pro
gressive Farmer several years ago, the
average cost of "time price" credit
on such articles in the Southern states
was found to be more than % per cent.
1t is easy to see, therefore, that
when farmer buys Western corn,
meat, or hay, he does not pay simply
the cost of producing these articles
and a single profit to the Western
farmer who produces them, but he
must pay nine profits, as we have
enumerated.-Th Progressive Farmer.

Factors

Chicago, June 5-Material declines

Of today's trading here were ascribcd
more or less to rains over the Cam
adian Northwest and to the fact that
the Liverpool market proved unre-
sponsible to yesterdays advance on
this side of the Atlantic. In other
quarters selling was also attributed
to President Coolidgc's refusal to
indorse a proposed substitute for
the McNary- Haugcn bill.
The selling came chiefly from
houses that were prominent yester-
day on the bull side of the market.
Opening prices, which ranged from
oneeighth to five-eights cents lower,
with July 1.O4 SIS to "a cents, and
September LOG SIS to 3-4, were fol-
lowed by a decided further drop.

23O0 people were employed in the
various SpitZbergen coal mines ana
about $50, 900 tons of coal were ship
ped out from there, which is Tar
above figures for previous years.
All the miners and laborers are i'm
ported as the islands have no ma
tives. All supplies and provisions
must be shipped in by the respec-
tive mining companies as nothing
whatever, not even potatoes, can be
raised up here.

In the early days Spitzbergeh

many small islands, was favorite
place for whalers, particularly Eng
fish and Dutch. Statistics show
that between the years 1869 and
l775 about SO, 900 whales We're killed
in SpitZbergen waters and the con-
sequences of this ruthless killing
is that the whale now is entirely
extinct in that territory.
No longer do the islands hold an
interest for the hunter or the fisher

But alas the diamonds are only

Spitzbergen coal treasure a Liability
instead of an asset.
For Spitzbergen lies three days
by steamer from even the most
northernly town in Norway, and its
east coast is generally ice-bound all
the wear round. But on the west
coast where navigation is open three
of four months every year. five coal
mines are now in operation. Two OF
them are Norwegian, one is Swedish,
another Dutch and the last English.
The coal found is an excellent
hard coal but climatic conditions
naturally makes it very hard to
mine during the long dark and
severe winter. Some OF the mines
therefore are only operating during
! the summer.
Another severe handicap is the
! short shipping season. During the
