I Tho Logan Republican received con , gratulatlons from every sido on the ' stand taken In this mnttcr.

H. Homer, Jr., and others wero soliciting subscriptions to stock in a ennnery proposition which would cov er all tho fruit raising districts In Utah. Tho Items gavo what purport ed to bo a statement of the promot ers to the effect that Joseph F. Smith president of tho Mormon church, and other prominent Salt Lakers were in terested In tho schomo which would bo incorporated with a capital ot f 1, 000,000. Presiding Bishop C. W.

' i Congress Considers Systems Of Marketing Farm Products Washlsgton, D. C, Jan. G. Sys tems of marketing farm products and tho demand for them at trado cen ters nro tho subjects of a special re port to Congress by tho Secretary of Agriculture, recently published. Tho roport was mado by special direction of Congress in order that In forma tion might bo at band concerning tho establishment ot a division ot mar kets In tho Department of Agricul ture. Tho Secretary specifies various Items of sorvlco that could bo per formed by such an ofllco with recom mendations that thoy beadopted, If It Is created. Tho roport covers 31t pages nnd is crowded with Informa tion with regard to tho subject tteat" cd. By Producers To Consumers The report treats ot tho muvoronnt ot farm products from tho Tarm to consumer through a great variety of channels. Tho simplest distribution Is tho direct ono ot dollvory by far mer to consumer, and next after this j is tho delivery by Individual farmers I or associations of farmers to Indl.ld ual consumers or associations ot con sumers. In theso direct forms ot dis tribution, tho middleman Is eliminat ed, although ot course lntormcdlato services aro performed either by pro ducers or by consumers or by both parties. Intervention Of Middlemen Among the varieties of mlddlaires concerned In tho markotlng ot farm products aro tho traveling huckbtors who go from farm to farm gathering eggs, butter, poultry, calves, and oth er commodities, which thoy sell to ' x shippers, Jobbers, or ret a1 1 dealers. Tho country merchant Is often tho 1 first receiver of such products as eggs, farm mado butter, poultry, wool ( I hides, cotton, nnJ. sometimes grain I nnd hay. In regions whoro grain Is j tho staplo product, tho tendency has been to dlsplaco tho country morch-1 ant by tho grain buyer and tho local clovntor man. i I Fnrmors commonly sell through j commission merchants and to somo ' extent directly to wholesalo dealers, and also to retail dealers. Tho far- , mer who employs a trustworthy com- ' mission merchant who will handle i his products honestly and honorably will got tho current prices for them within tho rango ot tho commission merchants business, but tho farmor often finds hlmBolf In tho hands of a commission merchant who falsely re ports that tho products wero received In damaged condition or that thoy wcro of a grado lower than thoy woro In fact, or ho reports receiving pri ces lower than thoso actually receiv ed by him for tho products. Worso tnan this, it In by no means raro that tho commission merchant has sold tho products and failed to return tho net proceeds. Samples ot transactions in which only ono middleman intervenes bo tweon producer and consumer lncludo tho commission man at a largo mar ket who receives consignments ot tlvo stock from farmers nnd soils to pack ors; tho factor to whom tho planter consigns his rlco or cotton and from whom purchases aro mado by mill ers; tho warehousomou who manago tho salo ot a Virginia planter's tobac co. Tho Intervention of two men be tweon producer nnd consumer is a common occurronco Fruits nnd veg etables aro often marketed through tho aid of two middlemen, tho city commission denier and n rotnll mer chant.
