BLAME FOR HIGH PRICES.
Farmers who attended the Na
tional Conference oh Marketing
and Credits in Chicago were sur
prised to find the very potatoes
for which I hey received 30 cents
a bushel selling all round Chica
go at 75 cenls to $1. The farm
ers tilled the ground, paid for
fertilizers, took the risk of had
weather and crop failure, dug the
potatoes and hauled them lo tin*
railroad station. Yet the railroads
that transported them to Chica
go and the merchants logoi her
got from two to Ihroo times sis
much of what I lie consumer paid
as the producer did.

more to he blamed than the farm
ers who lef. their potatoes go to
waste rather than devise some
scheme lo gel them to the con
sumer?
B. F. Yoakum, a big railway
man, who has studied closely
conditions in tin* Southwest, esti
mates that I he farmers of (lie na
tion lose 81,785,000,000 a year
through failing to care for and
market properly the produce they
raise. The farmer wouldn't get
all that immense sum if crops
were saved and marketed at the
minimum cost, for I lie increased
supply would send prices down,
dint that would give the millions
of consumers cheaper and more
plentiful food, and in Ihu end both
the farmer ami consumer would
gain. IDs a high price lo pay for
poor marketing and transporta
tion arrangements. The middle
man is not the only one to blame.
