FARMER GETS AZ CENTS OF ALL
FOOD DOLLARS
8 Per Cent Increase Over Last Year
Due In Rise In Prices Of
His Products


A bigger share of the average dol
lar spent for food is going to the
farmer, government economists said,
because prices of farm products are
rising.
They said AZ cents of every dollar
handed the grocer, butcher or baker
during the first three months of this
year found its way to the man who
produced the crops, livestock or other
farm products.
The farmers share of the food dol
lar was 33 cents in 1882, AZ cents in
1895, and A cents last year.
The Accent share the first part of
this year was about equal to the
average from 1925 to 1929, the stat
isticians said, but was below the
1890 average of 55 cents.
The economists said the farmers
share of the food dollar always in
creases as prices move up and al
ways decreases as prices go down.
"The farmer is like the boy on the
end in a game of crack-the-whip,
they explained. Changes in his
prices are more violent than changes
at the other end"
The reason for this, the experts
said, was that middlemen's costs
for marketing, processing, and dis
tributing-change only slowly and
moderately. When prices go up the
proportion taken by the middleman
decreases while that of the farmer
increases. The opposite is true when
prices go down.
A chack of So standard foods
showed retail costs advanced 3 pei
cent from 1895 to 1886, while farm
values increased 10 per cent
The economists said charges by
middlemen dropped 2 per cent be.
tween these two years, although Their
costs actually increased. Elimination
of processing taxes mare than made
up this discrepancy, the economists
said.

RuMsEy's STEAMBOAT
Nottingham, Pa, S 1913
Editor Midland Journal

Nottingham, Pa, 51O|S7
Editor Midland Journal
Dear Sir:
The following description of
Rumsey's steamboat from Johnson's
History Of Cecil County may be of
interest In view of the recent celebra-
ton at Warwick.
He applied to- the Legislature of
Maryland for patent for his inven-
ton in 1884. The Constitution OF
the United States not then having
been adopted, inventors were obliged
to apply to the Legislatures of the
States.
"Rumsey's invention is described
as a, method of propelling vessels by
means of the reaction of a stream of
water forced by the agency of steam
through a trunk or cylinder parallel
to the keel, out at the stern.
1.-The action of this stream upon
the water in which the vessel fioated
1t was believed, would cause the ves-
sci to move forward. The Legisla-
ture gave him the exclusive right to
] the use of his invention for ten years.
He afterwards formed society in
Philadelphia called the Rumseian
Society, of which DR.. Franklin and
Levi Hollingsworth were members,
for the purpose of introducing his
boat and other inventions to the pub
lie, but like most geniuses he met
with little success.
John Fitch claimed priority for
the steamboat which led to contest
between them and neither profited by
their efforts to introduce steamboats,.
James Rumsey was born at the
Head of Bohemia in 1743 and died
in London, Dec. %, 1892, of apo
plexy, at a public lecture, where he
was explaining the method of using
the steamboat he had invented"
Respectively,
S. D. Wilson.
