|"YOU BUY FROM Ot H WAGONS
IF WE BUY FROM YOUR STORE
The most general complaint made
against Southern towns is that while
they are constantly telling the farm
‘to ‘‘trade at home,” the merchants’
themselves too often refuse to prac
tice their own preaching. Instead of
| buying produce from local farmers. |
; it is charged that many seem to pre
fer to buy corn, meat, hay and other
products from other sections. As Mr. i
T. F. Johnson, of Lauderdale county.
Alabama says:
“In all of our newspapers you see1
large headlines urging all the people
i to trade at home support your home
I town, etc., etc. This is the ri«-ht idea
and should be adopted by all. How
ever, I want to sav that someone has i
; forgotten and I think that both sides
; are to blame.
“In many towns you will find that
I nrod’ice raised by thd farmers of the
territory in which the town derives its
• support is ratdd at from 10 to 20 per
cent less in value than the same arti
cle that has been shipped in; that the
price of cattle, hogs, hay and corn
are always ouoted at about the price
j the dealers have to pay at the ship
ping point, and often at less. For in
! stance as aco ncrete illustration, in a
>recent issue of the Progressive Farm,
i er vou state that No. 2 white corn:
in Kansas City is worth $1.11. A millet
in this town is offering the farmer
only $1. Nearly everything else yon
can mention is on the same basis. D<>
j yon wonder that the farmer feels h<
j is then justified in ordering his stuff
from wherever he thinks he can get
j them the cheapest and does not regard
the question of trading in his hume
j town as binding ?”
Another Alabama reader from Jef
i ferson county, writes as follows:
“No, indeed. Southern towns are not
j doing their full duty by the farmer, j
! There is no co-operation in Southern
i towns between consumers and produo’
i ers
| "Town buyers should not* buy farm
) products from a distance when local
farmers have stuff going to waste
I The local farmer could furnish a su- I
j perior quantity of produce njuch
cheaper to the consumer.
“There should be an agent employ- !
ed by organized buyers in Southern
i towns to interview farmers and there
should be an agreement as to quantity
, of produce and variety. A reasonable
I price should be agreed on and a mar
i ket guaranteed for farm products be
! fore planting time. Farmers should
| demand this of merchants, banke rs,
j and buyers,-, of farm products.”—Tho
