CENTRAL OF GEORGIA DISCUSSES MARGIN
BETWEEN PRODUCER AND CONSUMER
Are freight rates to blame for the fact- that the farmer is not more prosperous! This question is be
jinf asked in many different forms. Whon inspired by an honest dosire for correct information, it is a
fair question that deserves careful consideration and a candid answer.
The editor ot the Cochran (Ga.) Journal puts bis finger on the sore spot when in a recent editoral,
he refers to the “wide margin between the producer and the*consumer.”

Bo tolls the story of a Sleekly County farmer who sold a hog

for ten cents on foot. He traces its

k to a wholesale grocer in Georgia, who sold it to a'retail

What he had sold at (tea cents per pound.
the packing plant at Moultrie,
with other hams, to a Chicago jobber; thefti
grocer in Cochran; who in turn had it roast^
back as bo iled ham at eighty cents per pounc
The oditoral then says:
“Follow up this bam as it started oh foot from the farm; follow up the rbut© from Coch
ran to Moultrie and from Moultrie to Chicago, from Chicago to Macon and from Macon to
Coohran, and see how muoh freight was paid on it, and hqw many people handled it before
it got back on the farmer’s table at Cochran, and you will find out why there is so much
margin between the producer and the consumer, and this applies to many other com
modities that the old farmer digs out of the ground by the sweat of his brow and sells
sometimes below cost of production, and yet the average farmer is not willing to organize
for better marketing conditions.”
It is interesting to note the freight rates on the movement described by the Cochran editor, are as
follows:
Cochran to Moultrie, Hogs, (carload) 22J4 cents per hundred pounds; Moultrie to Chicago, Hams,
(cqr*oad) 94>£ cents; Chicago to Macon, Hams, (carload) 78)^ cents; Macon to Cochran, Hams, (less
than carload) 17 cents; total $2.12}^ per hundred pounds, or 2^ cents per pound.
. Of the difference of 70 cents per pound between the price received by)the producer and that paid by
the consumer, freight rates are responsible therefore for exactly 2)4 cents or a shade more than 3
cent. Something else is responsible for the other 97 per cent of the increase.
Instances might be multiplied, showing a similar state of affairs in other commodities; all of them
going to prove the fact that freight rates are not a govering factor in bringing about the spread in price
between producer and consumer. Transportation rates are not handicapping agriculture. Transportation
service is the salvation of agriculture.
The practical and feasible solution of the farmer’s.problem is pointed out by the Cochran Journal
which says further:
“Amid wonderful climates and soils and with natural resources unparalleled by any other
state in the Union, Georgia has succumbed to an unbusiness like system of farming which
forces her products bn the market pelhnell, helter-skelter; every man for himself with the
farmer starving at one end and the consumer at the other.”
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.
