Meeting Market Problems 
How American Agriculturist Can Help You 
A LARGE number of letters have 
been received from farmps in re¬ 
sponse to our editorial offering to do 
what we could to to help farmers with 
their market problems. We cannot do 
the impossible, but we think we can 
help in many cases by giving you spec¬ 
ial information that is otherwise^ diffi¬ 
cult to obtain. We are publishing a 
few of the letters here to show you the 
type of market help which American 
Agriculturist is furnishing and to give 
you through these letters some hints 
that may apply to your own problem. 
What About Private Trade P 
My sons have gone into the poultry busi¬ 
ness, not fancy, but for eggs and raising 
broilers. They are at this time getting 
from forty to fifty dozen white eggs daily 
and are getting 53c at the door this week. 
They had been shipping to New York for 
years, hut there are times when the New 
York market is bad. Can you locate some 
good private trade for us? Goods are strictly 
fresh ill every way. 
We have many requests from ship¬ 
pers to suggest to them a “good private 
trade” for their eggs, but experience 
has taught us that unless the shipper 
is very close to the city where he can 
come in personally and establish his con¬ 
tacts and check up on anything that goes 
wrong, it is inadvisable to try to ship to 
private dealers. The ^eat difficulty 
comes in their unreliability as to credit 
and the fact that such an outlet is very 
uncertain. Whenever private buyers 
can do better by buying in the whole¬ 
sale market, than taking your goods, 
they are likely to reject it or refuse to 
pay you the price you think you should 
get, whereas if you ship to a licensed 
and bonded commission merchant he is 
required to return to you the actual 
amount for which your eggs sell. The 
commission business has been of bad 
repute because of the bad practices of 
many men in the trade, but there are 
some firms who would look after your 
interests in the best possible way. 
I would advise you to study your 
nearby market carefully and compare 
prices with the net returns that you 
would get from shipping to a large 
market. If you are getting locally, 
53c per dozen under present market¬ 
ing conditions, you could not hope to 
do any better by shipping to any large 
market in the country. 
Shipping Veal Calves 
I saw a paragraph on editorial page of 
American Agriculturist about the service 
you were giving in regard to marketing prob¬ 
lems. We are some distance from railroad 
station and I wish to deal with veal calves. 
The calf buyers that come from town pay 
low prices because there is not much com¬ 
petition. I am discouraged with the low price 
of calves and the high price of feeds. If 
I dressed the calves at home could you find 
a reliable market and one that pays fair 
prices? We would have about twenty calves 
per year as our dairy is not real large.' 
You might very well tiy dressing 
your calves at home and shipping them 
either to New York City or Newark. 
It is always advisable for a farmer to 
study his nearest markets and com¬ 
pare them with large wholesale markets 
in order to determine whether it is 
advisable for him to ship to a large 
market. Your nearness to New York, 
however, would seem to make it very 
safe to attempt shipping there. 
Enclosed I am sending you a set of 
instructions for the dressing of calves. 
I am also sending you under separate 
cover a list of Licensed and Bonded 
Commission Merchants in New York 
State. 
Commission receivers in New Jersey 
are not licensed and bonded by the 
State as they are in New York, but 
the Adam Hebeler & Company have 
the highest financial rating of any 
commission merchants in Newark. If 
there is any further information we 
can get for you, please write to us. 
Markets for Eggs, Pigs and Calves 
Saw your notice in the American Agricul¬ 
turist for better marketing. I am very much 
interested. We do not seem to get the 
right prices for sorted eggs, also have pigs 
and calves to market. Will you kindly send 
me information? 
We have sent you under seperate 
cover a list of Licensed and Bonded 
Commission Merchants in New York 
State. Before you ship to any of these 
firms I would suggest that you write 
them directly to get shipping instruc¬ 
tions and find out whether they wish 
to receive your products. It is always 
advisable to send notice by mail at the 
same time you ship. 
Enclosed are instructions on the 
dressing of calves. In dressing small 
pigs be sure to turn their feet up and 
put skivers in. Leave the head on and 
the hearts and livers in, and wrap in 
heavy parchment paper. The Health 
Department of the Qity of New York 
has to inspect any dressed meats re- 
.ceived here before they are sold, and 
a nominal fee of 40 or 60c is charged 
for this inspection to the shipper. 
We are also sending a copy of the 
Daily Market Report issued by the 
State Department of Farms and Mar¬ 
kets which you can obtain without cost 
on application to that Department at 
90 West Broadway, New York City. If 
you will write us more specific informa¬ 
tion as to the quantities and kind of 
produce you have to market, we will 
be glad to give you all the help we can 
in marketing them profitably. 
A Plan for Small Egg Skippers 
I am much interested in your Market Ser- 
vlbe plan. We farmers out here have a good 
deal of trouble disposing of our eggs, most 
of our stores will not accept them in trade 
for groceries. So we are somewhat baffled to 
know just how to dispose of them at any 
advantage. Most of us have not enough hens 
to ship a crate a week. Could you suggest 
us a plan whereby four of us could cooperate 
to ship a crate or more each -week from our 
neighborhood. Please send me egg prices on 
whites and browns and mixed eggs. Please 
inform me on rates for shipping and the 
beat place to get crates and what they cost 
and how long would it take to get returna, 
shipped from Oakwood, Cayuga County, N. Y. 
to -New York? 
We would suggest that you and your 
neighbors assemble your eggs once or 
twice a week and sort them up very 
carefully as to size and color of shell, 
also candle them and grade them ac¬ 
cording to freshness. You ought really 
to ship twice a week in order to get 
your eggs to market in the best con¬ 
dition. You can obtain from Cornell 
University, Department of Publica¬ 
tions, the bulletin “How to Candle 
Eggs” and also the bulletin on market¬ 
ing eggs. It would not be necessary for 
you to go through any special formality 
in organizing to ship cooperatively as 
long as there are only a few of you 
who know each other very well, and 
you can handle the business without a 
great deal of time and trouble. 
It would be advisable, however, that 
those of you who agree to ship together 
draw up a definite written agreement 
and sign it, covering just what you 
propose to do, and agreeing to al^ide 
by the decision of the person designated 
to do the candling or packing or by 
the majority of you as to the grading 
of your eggs. ^ With each lot of eggs 
that you receive and pack, you give 
the individual producer a receipt for 
the number of eggs of each different 
grade that he delivers. Then when you 
get your returns from the market you 
can divide up those returns according 
to the number of eggs of each kind 
delivered by each poultryman. If one 
person looks after the packing and 
shipping of , the eggs he should be paid 
a nominal amount to cover the time re¬ 
quired. Usually cooperative endeavors 
fail ^ if they depend upon voluntary 
service. It ought to be possible for 
you to do this however at a very small 
cost per dozen. 
It would be a good idea to demand 
of the firm that handles your eggs in 
the market, definite criticism as to how 
you can improve the quality. New 
York is the finest market in the country 
for fancy eggs, but it is often over¬ 
supplied with ordinary grades. 
Your express rate per case of eggs 
from Oakwood to New York City is 
approximately 76c. 
When Tacking Eggs in Cases 
It has been the experience of shippers 
that NEWSPAPERS SHOULD NOT 
BE USED IN PLACE OF FLATS OR 
AS PADS. It pays to buy new flats and 
fillers and new clean excelsior pads. If 
you do not know where to get them, 
write the Market Department, Ameri¬ 
can Agriculturist.
