A concrete illustration of this comes to the department of agriculture from a Maryland farmer living 50 miles scours this particular section of the country for live stock to be shipped ta Washington and Baltimore, markets, | she would not have brought more than meat in, the nation’s capital, if plans | $22.5 Merchants to, whom this car- cass was sold set.their. own, price te: the farmer, stating at the time that it was a fraction below what they paié the Armour and Swift distributing agencies in Baltimore or Washington. tion with his neighbors, to induce local butchers to come to the farms and buy cattle direct met with failure.
