For More Orderly Marketing 
State Department, WEAF and A.A. Broadcast Daily Market Reports 
l S announced last week, American Agla¬ 
ya culturist, cooperating with the New 
/—% York State Department of Farms 
jL JLand Markets and with WEAF broad¬ 
casting station, is now furnishing a radio 
market service every Tuesday, Wednesday, 
Thursday and Friday morning. These mar¬ 
ket reports are broadcast at 10:50 A. M. 
Eastern Standard time. Reports are 
gathered by experts out of the market and 
represent the exact status of the market 
right up to the time of broadcasting. 
We are enthusiastic about this service and 
reports will be given slowly so that you will 
have no difficulty in setting them down. On 
this report, somewhere, there is at least one 
product in which you are interested. For 
instance, there are few farmers, or farmers’ 
wives, that are not interested in New York 
City poultry and egg prices. 
Last minute quotations will be given every 
day on these products. If the market is firm 
and a particular product in high demand, you 
will know it and can get your product in im¬ 
mediately. If, on the other hand, there is an 
over-supply or glut, you can save yourself 
products on that market to the best ad¬ 
vantage. 
Tell us in a letter how to improve this 
service. Tune in on WEAF 10:50 Eastern 
Standard time (Wave length 492 meters).

A Reproduction of Each Side of the Market Report Form, Issued by American Agriculturist 
are having much to say about it because we 
know that if you make the most of it, it will 
save you money in marketing your farm 
products this year. 
There is printed on this page a reduced 
copy of the forms from which the reports 
are'made. We will be-glad to furnish upon 
application to American Agriculturist, 461 
Fourth Avenue, these blank forms free of 
charge. 
If you keep them near your receiving 
set with a pencil handy, you can fill in the 
blanks with that day’s prices as they come 
out of the air. Only the prices of those 
products that are in season will be broadcast 
so there will be some items on your blank 
each day which will not be filled in. The 
tremendous loss by holding it a few days or 
sending it to some other market. We ex¬ 
pect to quote Newark and Philadelphia prices 
a little later. 
Will you not cooperate with us in helping 
to make this service reach as many people as 
possible? Perhaps some arrangements can 
be made with some local farm organization, 
storekeeper, milk station, or weekly news¬ 
paper to post these reports so that every¬ 
body can find them each day. Here is an 
opportunity to help yourself and help your 
neighbors market their farm products. Farm 
people know how to grow stuff, but we have 
not learned as yet how to sell it well. Here 
is a chance to study the greatest market in 
the world and to learn how to put your 
cial standpoints, greater in scope, more in¬ 
teresting in appeal, and more educational in 
its influence than has ever before been at¬ 
tempted in an exposition of this character. 
Every dairy interest will be represented— 
the amateur and professional dairyman, the 
. creamery man, the cheese manufacturer, the 
ice cream manufacturer, the banker and 
financier, the community builder, and thQ, 
student of dairying from whatsoever angle 
will find something of value and of interest 
to him at this great show.
