a f : m7 Farm MEAT CONSUMERS SAVED $33,000,000 ~—INMONTH, IS CLAM Policy of Advising Public to De- mand Lower Charges Is Getting Results INVOLVES NO FARM LOSS Carries Down to Dinner Table Decreased Returns to Farm- er, Then Halts These Washington, July 11.—(?)—Figuring it has saved consumers $33,000,000 & month in the retail price of meat and increased producers profits, the farm board has ¢~'ded to inform the public whenever it believes conditions war- * vant a cut in the retail price of agri- cultural products. C. C. Teague, board member repre- senting fruits and vegetables, said to- day that, while no definite policy had been established, he had no doubt the board would issue statements in re- gard to retail prices whenever the op- portunity arose to benefit the general public. ‘Teague’s statement followed reports of a drastic cut in the retail price of beef since June 26, when C. B. Den- man, representing livestock on the board, announced that as a result of the decline in wholesale and live weight prices the consumer should find current prices of beef consider- ably lower. ‘Within ten days the Retail Meat Dealers association had reported a cut of 10 percent in the price of good beef and 20 percent on common grades. At Kazsas City a general 10-cents- ‘-pound reduction was reported, and in Washington, for the first time in years, club steaks were advertised on 50-cent dinners. Prior to Denman’s statement the retail price of beef had maintained a constant level despite the succession of dips taken by wholesale and live weight prices. Estimating total beef consumption at 8,000,000,000 pounds a year, Denman said a 5-cents-a-pound reduction in retail price would save consumers $400,000,000 a year, or $33,000,000 a month. In the first week following his an- nouncement, Denman said, the coun- try beheld—for the first time in his- tory—the spectacle of retail prices go- ing down while live weight prices ascended. Teague said one of the chief prob- lems of agriculture was the spread be- tween the producer’s price and the consumer's price. “The producer,” he declared, “is not getting his proper share of the con- sumer’s dollar. Part of that is due to expensive systems of distribution that the public has demanded—Delivery, credit, and fancy stores that necessi- tate high rent. “There is coming, I believe, some- what of a readjustment of these things through cash-and-carry stores and lower margins. “The only way we see that we can definitely and permanently effect it is in the development of cooperative THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1930 OUT OUR WAY By Williams TRooP 1 HALT — PREPARE ™ HALLLT! enn REA.
