Box 929, Two Harbors, Minn. 7R S Enished, : ‘Satislaction Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers PremoNo.2 AN Putting Farming on a Busmess Basis (Continued from page 8) culture, now estimates at frequent in- tervals during the growing season the probable condition of the crops and yield of the different farm products so that every one knows approximately the amount of wheat, corn, oats, bar- ley, rye, cotton, etc., that the farmer produces. The buyers and distributors are fully informed by the government. The farmer, on the other hand, does - not always have the same information regarding the demand for consumption as the buyers and distributors have of the output of the farm. In other words, he-is not on an equal footing with the buyer. 3 I believe that there should be col- lected under the department of agri- culture by the best talent obtainable full information from all the markets of the world, foreign and domestic. This information should be tabulated, summarized and made available at frequent intervils—daily, semi-week- ly or weekly. It should be posted at the postoffices or printed in certain publications so that the producers miay be as fully informed regarding the conditions of the selling market as the buyers and distributors are now informed regarding the condition of “the buying market. The collection and dissemination of these facts will tend to avoid wide fluctuations in the market, and make it possible for the producer to deal with the buyer on an equal basis in disposition of his prod- ucts.” Why should not the govern- ment’s activities along these lines be greatly enlarged so that the producer will have the same character and class of information that is available to the buyers and distributors? The pro- ducer is at a serious disadvantage when he does not know the conditions surrounding ‘the consumption of his product. Yet these facts are in the possession of the great buyers and distributors of agricultural commod- ities. g BARUCH SUMMARIZES HIS SIX PROPOSALS To sum up, if the suggestions I have made were adopted, the farmer would. find himself in the following position: First, he would have ade- quate, modern storage facilities under public supervision. Second, his prod- ucts would be certified-as to grade and amount by licensed graders and weighers. "Third, the certificates is- sued -by the graders and weighers would be used as the basis of sales and purchases, as well as the basis of financing. Fourth, a fair share of the credits of the bank and financial insti- tutions of the country-would be re- served during certain periods for erop movement. Fifth, all market infor- mation would -be’ collected and made available through trained experts by the agricultural department—this information to be of the kind and character now in the possession of buyers and consumers of the farmer's products. Sixth, a new source of cred- it, the private investor, would be reached 'by the establishment of financing corporations to make loans on warehouse receipts., - This program, if put into effect, would, in my opinion, place the farmer in a position to market his crops ad- vantageously whether he desires to, do so individually or co-operatively. CO-OPERATIVE BANKS IN, WEST . Pollowing the opening of the co-op- erative labor bank in Cleveland, Ohio, co-operative banks are now being or- ganized at Tuscon, Ariz., Sparks, Nev., and Coalinga, Cal., the Pacific Co-Operative. league reports. = kS ADVERTISEMENTS and Only a tractor can give you the eco- nomical power needed to work your land in the right way at the right time to get the best seed-bed— speedy power to take advantage of your plowing, discing, harrowing and plantinfi—-tireless power that can do in hours’ work that now takes days—khardened power that's ready in the early Spring when power is needed most—concentrated power that enables one man to do the work of several with horses— which mean lower costs, bigger crops and greater enjoyment in farm life.
