In the debate in the senate recent
ly on the parcels post bill figures
were introduced showing that last
year’s agricultural products in the
United States were worth to the far
mers $9,000,000,000. Assuming
that farmers kept one-third of these
products for their own use, they re
ceived $6,000,000,000 for what they
sent to market. But these products
finally sold to the consumer at $13,-
000,000,000. The difference, or
$7,000,000,000, was the charge for
distribution —more than twice what
the producer received.
That it should be possible to save
much to the consumer by bringing
him into direct contact w r ith the pro
ducer is clear without reference to
these formidable figures.—Chicago
