Ome Solution to Ever Proaeat Probiea of Maxfcetiaf Product*

Quality Versus Quantity

By W. COLLINS THOMAS

Marketing farm product* is a problem. and folks views differ widely ai to how to solve It. Some think l*wi can turn tbe trick, others, organlxaTheir one common complain! Is that they didn’t get as much tor .heir produce as they wanted. No doubt this Is a just complaint, and, I have no Intention of attempting to offer a ''cure-ali” in this article Yet, I will suggest that many producers overlook the real cause ol their marketing troubles. They believe they can get higher prices by organising n rketlng aseoclaUons. Put a* a great marketing expert has declared, “ninety-five per cent, of th# fanners' marketing problems are on

the farm.”

Let us remember that our friends, the "consumers,'’ want good food products to eat just Uks you cr L When our producU are of a high quality, they command a high pries ordinarily. When they are of extra quality they command a premium. But when they are common they are hard to ee!l at ary price. And ao organisation would even attempt to sell low-grade stuff. If It valued Its

reputation.

It's no disgrace to produce common, diseased, insect injured fruit, vegetables and other produce. But. oa the other band. It Is nothing to be proud of. it Is unprofitable, tnere Is I excuse tor It. ao why do Uf Be frank with yourself, don't rate th* quality of your product too big tv. find bow to Improve the quality and notice bow quickly your marketing problems disappear. Many say "atop telling ns how to produce—we are producing too much new—we want to know how to market’' But—we must "produce” before we can "market'' The kind of products we have to sell depends on the kind we produce. And the kind we produce depends on the I

roasting ears, you can't expect much assistance in marketing from any organlsaUon or individual. Your problem la purely one of prod action. That is the reason the marketing expert says that “96% of the marketing

problems are oa the farm."

Start out this spring , stermined to Increase the quality of your produce. Pick out your best acres. YouH make more money by growing 260 bushelc of dean, disease-free, potatoes on one acre than yon will by growing 300 busnels of scabby, under-alsed potatoes on two acres, and do leas work. Apply this logic to all of your In other words, what land you can't farm well, don't farm at There are too many doing that

to be any money in It.

The success of Cape May County farmer* depends ipon the quality of products they produce, rather than quantity. Farm aa much and only as inch aa you can farm well. Prepare the soil properly, get good seed of the proper variety, cultivate and spray at the proper time, when you should have little worry about marketing.
