Now that you nuve read something

little tour through the sanitary and
thoroughly equipped factories thai
turn out Jensen s superior candies.
First the Ogden factory. Let's take
the I. vatpr to the fourth floor. Here
we find stored away thousands or.
those beautiful boxes and containers
that make W. F. Jensen's cand.es
look so well in your display cases
and make tno.ii -such an easy line to
sell.
HARD wnii -
Floor three is devoted entirely to
the making of hard candles. Com
plete modern machinery makes taf
fies, stick candy arid all fancy hard
Can d lea. Tin re are massive coke
furnaces, steel and stone water cool
ing slai.s parking and cutting tables
and candy i ultmg machines.
Floor two is given over lo the mak
ing of fancy l.on lions, creams and
those deliriously flavored cream cen
ters that have made V. F. Jensen's
Superior chocolates famed through
out ten western states. In a series
of copper cooking vals, the largest
of which has a capacity of eighty
gallons, the pure sugar syrup' Is
cooked before being taken to the
huge creamer where It Is whipped Into
smooth consistency- and flavored with
the distinctive flavors used in Sweet
Sixteen and other better grade choco
lates. A modern depositing machine,
with a capai lly of 2000 pounds of
candy each day, casts this creamy
weet into thousands of starch moulds, 1
j wnicn lorm them Into uniform, per
fect centers. The centers once set,
! they are taken In the moulds to the
1 massive Starch Duck where the
starch Is dusted off.
The equipment Is complete on this
floor for making inarsh-mellows, car
j amels and fudges:. Here also, are cut
I ting and packing tables and steel

the marvelous growth of our Logan
factory which ha.. Increased twelve
times In volume of business In six

ENORMOUS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
' PRICE FOOD PRODUCER RECEIVES
I AND PRICE CONSUMER MUST PAY
a IRTHUR CAPP1 K
United stales s .i.ilor from Kansas
Written cspia tilly for The Interna
tional .cvs Si rv led.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1. Some
thing Is radically wrong with a na
tional system of distribution which
1 permits of absolute Waste of food pro
dui tS In one section of the country
when In other sections there exists
good demand. That condition occurs
frequently In the United states. In
the, frult-prodUCing sections of Michi
gan and New York press reports de
Iclare that large quantities of fruit rot
ted and was wasted because there was
no market for it. At the same lime
high prices prevailed for fruit in the
Mid-West, where the crop was cut
short by late spring frosts. Producers
In New York and Michigan, the re
ports state, did not obtain profitable
prices lor their crop despite the fact
that other sections of the country were
anxious to buy. Probably Inadequate
transportation facilities and shortage
of labor wore factors in this condition.
But at any rate the system of distribu
tion failed to function to the profit
either of the producer or the con
sumer. ii Y DOLL VII Is ll DETJ
I There is all enormoii.; spread be
tween the price the producer obtains
for his products and the price the
consumer pays for them. This spread
occurs in the marketing and distribu
tion of thus, products The California
I Fruit Growers' Exchange made an In
vestigation to determine how the con
sumer's dollar wo,s divided. Thirty
j representativ e markets were included,
land 5,485 reports wenp obtained. The
1 results showed that the factors enter
ling into the division of the consumer's
dollar spent In buying citrus fruit in
1914. arc:
Retail distribution cost (gross 1. 82. 8
per cent; lol.l.ers' distribution cost
(gross), 8 2 per cent; growers' selling
I cost, 1.0 per rent, freight and refrlg
aratlon cost, 2.05 per cent, packing
J house cost, 7.4 per cent; cost of pick
ing and hauling to packing house, 2.4
.per cent; proportion retained for fruit
ion the tree, 26.7 per cent.
These figures are supplied by G.
Harold Powell, general manager of
the California Fruit Growers ex-i
change, Los Angelr. They show that)
the retailer gets 33. 3 per cent and the
! grower 26.7 per cent of thi- consumer's'
i dollars. The ost ofjobbing and ret;iJl-!
jing Is 41 o per cent. En one town the
jobber s markup was 10 per cent, and'
in nnotlier town 22 pel cent, showing
q Wide variation The retailers' mar
gins ran from 20 to 75 per cent.
Herbert Hoover recently made thu
(statement "The margins between our
farmers and tho wholesalers In com-;
modules---other than grain. In some
in -Unices even in normal times, aro
the highest in any civilized country ."!
fully 86 per cent higher than In most
European countries."
HERE FARMER b isi S.
Mr. Hoover also said:
"Analysis of the character of the
I margin between the farmer and the
vvholesaler will show that decreases in
price find Immediate reflection on the
farmer, while Immediate Increases in!
price .ire absorbed by the trades bo-1
tw. en. and the farmer gets but a lag-j
I glng Increase.'
1 Prices of hogs obtained by farmers.'
I prices paid by the consumer and the
1
margin between, as shown in govern
ment statistics for 1914. 1919 and
1920, indicate an enormous loss to
(both the producer and the consumer
to the one in tho low price obtained
and to the other in the excessive price
paid. These figures are:
Price of hogs In principal stutes
per 1U0 pounds: 1914. $7.4a 1919
$16.27; 1920, $15.37. Price of cured
products to consumer for the 100
pound hog. 1914. $18.97; 1919, $37.23;
1920, $37.71. Margin between the far
mer and tho consumer, 1914. $11 o2
1919. $21.06; 1 920. $22 34.
While the farmer has gained about
$7.92 In price the margin has in
creased by $10.82 to the consumer
The consumer has paid 30 cents more.
While) the farmer got 90 cents less dur
ing the last year.
FA ULTY THAN SPORTATIOX.
Inadequate transportation facilities
add to tlu- costliness of the distribution
system. In the face of a car shortage
the producer cannot move his products
readily, and often Is forced to sell on
a glutted market at low prices. The
consumer, on the other hand, Is forced
tq pay an Increased price for his food
stuffs due to a lack of equipment to
bring iho commodities to market. An
Investigation made by the United
States Food .Administiation showed
that In the case of potatoes the mar
gin between the producer and the con
sumer broadened 100 per cent in
periods of car shortage.
Epormoua numbers of persons arc
engaged In the final processes of dis
tribution, increasing the cost. One city
has 0110 meat retailer for every 400
Inhabitants. It has been carefully es
timated that one dealer could ade
quately serve every 1,200 persons The
result of such a condition is that the
retailers operate on a high margin nnd
that only a small Income is obtained
by any of them.
Thus it is evident that our wasteful
system of distribution bj an unfair tax
on both the producer and the con
sumer. This can be reduced. It will
be possible to place a larger purl of
the consumer's dollar In the hands of
the, f irmer and nt tho same time sup-!
ply food to the cities at a lower cost I

WHEAT GROWERS

WICHITA. Kan , Dee. 23. The 1
Wheal rowers association of Ameri
ca, which has been conducting a cam
pa igp to Induce growers to withhold
their wheat from the market until
pi cea are higher, plans to have mid
Westeni states BO well organized wlth
I in tho next six months that the grow
ers will be able to control the price
paid for the 1921 wheat crop, accord
ing to Y. H. McGreeVy, secretary and
treasurer.
The association now has a member- '
ship of approximately 100.000 In the
states of Texas. Oklahoma, Kansas
j and Nebraska, according to Mr. Mc
Greevy. who has his headquarters
here. The organization will he ex
tended, he caid. to Minnesota. North
Dakota and South Dakota.
"The purpose of the National
! "Wheat Growers association Is to con
trol the distribution and marketing
' of wheat through financial and selling
agencies of Its own selection at a price
baaed upon cost, plus a fair and rea-1
sonable profit," said Secretary Mc
Greovy. "Not only the wheat growers Of our
association but the wheat growers In
general are refusing to sell any wheat
at present prices except In oases
win re financial conditions force tho
sale. For more than thirty days we
have withheld our wheat from the
market until now a largo number of'
flour mills are Idle and tho local and I
terminal elevators are nearly empty, j
The wheat grower feels that he hasj
1 practically accomplished what seemed 1
at first impossible, and Is now en- (
couraged to continue withholding his 1
wheat from market In order that a
prlco which Is fair and Just shall be
1 paid him for his labor and money in
vested." Mr McGreevy objects to the use of
the term "wheat strike" in referring
, to the action of the wheat growers.
I "Our growers are riot striking as is
commonly meant by the term," he
s;i 11 ""o are still sowing and at
tending to tho many arduous duties
of the farm. .We are only holding our
wheat to bo marketed at any time tho
producer may think it at a fair
price "
The organization was formed about
a year and a half ago In southern
Kansas nnd northern Oklahoma Mr. !
A. Slaughter of Manchester, Okla.,
was the originator and early pro
moter. According to its promoters Us
growth In the first six months was
slow but In the last few months it
has h. en rapid until the membership
has spread to every wheat growing
county in the four states organized.
The four states now organized t Ne
braska. Kansas, Oklahoma and
Texas), in which a membership of
100.000 is claimed, have 220,804 wheat
growers, according to Kansas Hoard
of agriculture statistics.

Mauritius Crop Goes
to British Buyers
According to Information furnished
by the governments of Mauritius and
Kcunion. the sugar crops of theso
Islands for 1920-21 are estimated at
250,000 metric tons In Mauritius and
10.000 tons In Heunlon. Consul J. G.
Carter reports from Tnmatave. Mada
gascar. Most of the Mauritius fac
tories had begun grinding at the end
of August, with weather conditions
favorable ro the crop.,
The offer of "the British royal com
mission to purchases the entire export
able output of Mauritius has been
accepted. The French government
h.us decided not to requisition the He
union crop this year, but has an
nounced that authorization will be
given for exportation only to France.
Final figures on the Mauritius crop
of 1919-U0. reported by 'the Mauritius
Commercial Bulletin, show a total
production of 235,200 metric tons.
CxportS during the fiscal year, which
ended July 31, were 237. MC tons,
leaving In stocks of only S94 tons to
be carried over to the new crop. These
included 168, S60 tons shipped to
Great Britain. 36.S1J tons to the con
tinent of Europe t chiefly to France).
24,218 tons to India, and B898 tons
to America. The average sale price
of the 1919-20 crops is figured as
Its. 21-25 per 50 kilos, equivalent to
f 26 cents a pou1 at normal ex
change, or about lis. 100.000.o00
i $31'. 400,000 for the entire crop.
Sugars locally consumed are ex
cluded from these figures. statis
tics covering the past six years show
consumption to have averaged 618 8
tons annually.
