The Fight Is Quickly Won
The bill was introduced In the sen
ate by Senator Smith and was passed
without much delay, but it met op
position In the house, where it did
not get out of the committee, although
Senator Smith did succeed In getting
through an appropriation for a pre
liminary investigation. At the next
session a report covering five hundred
pages was made by the department
of agriculture endorsing the plans of
the bill. For a second time Senator
Smith put the measure through the
senate as a rider on the agricultural
department appropriation bill. The
house conference committee still
fought It, but Senator Smith forced
a compromise by which $50,000 was
included in the appropriation bill for
the preliminary work of starting the
division, so that in about a year af
ter the first meeting was held at
which the officers of the Farmers’
Union suggested the bill the depart
ment was in operation.
Is a G-eat Undertaking.
The task of establishing and work
ing out the division of markets is far
formation as to the kinds of cotton
the various manufacturing points de
sire. Augusta, for instance, has a rep
utation for desiring a high grade of
cotton. The division of markets is in
vestigating to see if Augusta really
pays tlie higher price for the fine
grades shipped there. Atlanta takes
a different grade, and so on. This sort
of information will put the farmers
wise to marketing conditions.
Community Marketing.
Marketing In community units will
be kept In mind. The consumption end
of the problem will be carefully looked
Into. The whole idea is to bring
the producer nnd consumer together
with the least possible amount
waste.
Just now, to illustrate, the division
wants to know why the cotton oil
mill men of South Carolina are over
in Georgia buying seed, while the Geor
gia cotton oil mill men ore over In
South Carolina doing the some thing.
But is that any more remarkable
than that the farmers in Denmark
who are shipping butter and eggs
to England are buying canned corn
from America at forty cents a can
that is selling in this country at 12
cents? It Is said that the farmers
In Denmark are raising so few vege
tables that as a people they are suf
fering In health on that account
City Marketing.
The division of markets is also in
vestigating the matter of city market
ing, which includes wholesaling, re
tailing, auction sales, the utilizing of
trolley car service, etc.
Mr. Brand mentions as an illustra
tion of what preparation will do the
method of the Long Island railroad,
which has a big vegetable farm on
Long Island. It has what It calls the
hamper system. A hamper Is made
to hold, say, six smaller boxes. A
man In New York gives an order for a
hamper with directions as to what it
