stitutions of twenty states are eager to secure this service to give out to the 

 farmer and middleman. 



A new development during the year has been the Grains, Feeds, Hay and 

 Straw report supplied through the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The 

 prices contained in this report have been distributed to farmers who have re- 

 quested this information. 



The market news service of the Di\asion has been materially strengthened by 

 the establishment of an all year round service in Worcester and Springfield. 

 The Boston Farmers' Produce Market Report has been published daily except 

 Saturday as in former years, and reports from growers and market men indicate 

 that valuable service is being rendered. The change from a six months basis 

 was brought about by those benefited Avho saw the disadvantages of a tem- 

 porary service and recognized the urgent need for daily market reports. The 

 service in these two cities is made available through the cooperation of the 

 Hampden County Improvement League of Springfield, and the Worcester 

 County Extension Service at Worcester. These two agencies are furnishing 

 office room and assistance for the reporters of the Division. 



Producers are realizing that a more complete understanding and knowledge 

 of the factors which operate to determine the selling price of their goods is 

 necessary to a profitable return for their labor. The market reports issued by 

 the Department give accurate information to producers and all others inter- 

 ested, on market price, the supply, demand and movement of agricultural 

 products.
