Will Someone Answer? W. Collins Thomas. Cape May Court House. N. J.: Dead Sir—Conducting, as you are. the "agricultural page" of one of our county newspapers, there must be times when you wonder what message you can give your readers that will convey to Them the necaaaity of closer co-operation between our agriculturalists and the consumers of their products. Uy virtue of close association with Cape May County farmers, you undoubtedly know and appreciate their Individual and defective viewpoints, but have you. on tbe other hand, given Impartial thought to the viewpoint of the ultimate consumer of these farm products? While having no direct knowl-! edge as to what percentage of | local farm produce* is marketed In our nearby coast resorts. I am I of the opinion that the major | portion fruits, vegetables poultry, eggs, dairy products, etc., produced in this county is mar- j keled within a radius of a few miles of every farm. If ibis l»e i so. is not the local farmer In a • favorable position In ao far a* competing with farm products] from other States? He has no ex-] ccwsive freight ratm and hauling charges, which must be added to goods shipped from other sections nor is he entirely dependent upon selling his commodity at wholesale R-ices a* is the producer from distant States. With the advent of the roadside market and the opportunity of selling direct to the consumed in our resorts, local farmers surely are in a position to realize maximum returns for their labor, providing they appreciate the necessity of marketing iheir product* in such a manner that the consumer will feel that he is receiving full value for every dollar expended. When a fanner buys commodities that are necesoary for his businers and personal needs. Is be not. first of all. interested in getting she greatest value for his money? Then, it seems to me he cli -uld bear in mind that the "Golden Rule" Is5 not one

sided.

The question of successful marketing. Is undoubtedly, the greatest pioblem confronting out "tillers of the soli." and 1 am confldent that the solution re*u more with the fanner than with Ihe consumer.

Farm products that are properly graded and priced fairly can be atisorbed by a public who are rapidly being educated to the n-< - uy of securing full value for their money, and United Slate* currency Is worth 100 cents on the dollar. While admitting that a farmer's duties are probably more arduous than thc*e of the average consumer of his products, and granting that he Is entitled to a fair return on the Investment of bis capital and labor, still. In the final analysis, the consumer's principal concern Is Ws desire to get his money'»

worth.

Inasmuch as pricM for perishabye food products are based upon the law of "supply and demand." and considering that the majority of our consumers have been educated to the benefits of receiving the advantages of market fluctuations. Is it any wonder they hesitate paying a premium for must every product raised on Cape May County farms, and generally with no variance In quality, compared with goods shipped In from nearby as well as distant sections? This veiwpoint of c consumer might give you. Mr. Editor, some "food for thought.” and also an opportunity to elaborate on the thoughts that are In the minds of many people who drive by tbe farmers' markets Instead of stopping and buying. A.
