O. Ferris & Co., 
F EW of us realize, 
or ever stop to 
think, of the vast amount of food re¬ 
quired to supply the demand of our cities. 
Take New York, our largest city. In 
the year 1922 there were consumed: 
2,187,552,149 pounds of cereals; 1,947,- 
195,392 pounds of dairy products, in¬ 
cluding milk, fresh and preserved, butter, 
eggs and cheese; 1,438,064,289 pounds of 
fruit; 1,162,799,993 pounds of vegetables; 
and 770,732,756 pounds miscellaneous 
foods, including tea, coffee, lards and veg¬ 
etable oils—these altogether making the 
enormous total of 8,748,943,498 pounds. 
Of Vital Interest to Producer and 
Consumer 
When we consider the fact that the 
United States according to the 1920 
census had a population of 105,710,620, 
over 51 per cent, of which was urban, we 
can readily realize that the problem of 
keeping the road open for the city’s food 
supply is one of vital importance to both 
the city dweller and the country producer 
upon whom rests the responsibility of 
furnishing this food supply. 
This road has many ramifications, as 
over it passes the citrous fruits of Califor¬ 
nia and Florida; wheat and wheat pro¬ 
ducts from Manitoba and other Canadian 
provinces, beef from the Middle West, 
potatoes from Maine, pineapples and 
onions from Bermuda, as well as milk 
and other products from nearby points. 
This road is also varied in its con¬ 
struction. We have the rough and often 
muddy roads of the remote districts, the 
improved highways built by the State 
and Nation, the road with steel rails and 
also part of this road is covered by our 
canals, rivers and other waterways over 
which is transported a large amount of 
this food supply. 
Where the Responsibility Lies 
It is of vital importance that this road 
be kept open twenty-four horns of the 
day, seven days of the week and fifty- 
two weeks of the year as the human body 
must have its three daily meals in order, 
to work with the greatest efficiency. 
The responsibility for keeping this road 
open rests on two factors which perhaps 
give the matter the least consideration. 
One is the producer and the other the 
distributor—whether he be wholesaler 
or retailer. On the producer rests the 
responsibility of being intelligently in¬ 
formed on the requirements of this great 
food supply in order that he may first 
produce what the market requires, prod¬ 
uce the quality that will insure him the 
best price, and produce in such quantities 
that the road will not be clogged with an 
over-supply, which must of necessity 
react to his detriment in reducing the 
sales price, which, of course, in turn 
reduces the producer’s profit. 
Again referring to the food supply of 
New York City, when we feel that the 
Board of Health destroyed in 1922 13,- 
155,780 pounds of food, or about 265 
carloads, some on account of adultera¬ 
tion, but chiefly on account of rot and 
fermentation, the responsibility of the 
producer to recognize these requirements 
is very forcibly emphasized. 
Commodities Should Move Regularly 
In order that this road may be kept 
open and the commodities moving freely 
and. with regularity, one of the best moves 
that the producer can possibly make is to 
connect himself with the cooperative 
organization handling his particular com¬ 
modity in order that this combination of 
interests may permit securing the best 
obtainable talent for moving these com¬ 
modities to the best advantage. The 
producer as an individual never has been 
and never will be able to secure the bene¬ 
fits of service which experienced hands 
and brains can bring to him. 
In order that the road may not be 
congested, it is absolutely necessary 
that part of the food 
supply move promptly, 
immediately it is harvested, while the 
greater portion of it must be stored in 
warehouses especially equipped, and 
moved out with the regularity which 
the capacity of the road will permit and 
the demands by our cities for the food 
supply require. 
It is also necessary that representatives 
of the producers keep in closest possible 
touch with the distributors in order that 
all concerned may attain the greatest 
possible success. 
The distributor has an equal responsibil¬ 
ity with the producer in their efforts to 
keep this road continually open and at 
the same time filled with food or various 
kind of transportation vehicles moving 
with regularity. On the distributor rests 
the responsibility of constantly keeping 
in touch with the production centers and 
advising from day to day the amounts 
of commodities necessary for this ever 
disappearing food supply. 
On the distributor also rests the 
responsibility of so making the price that 
the ultimate consumer can easily pur¬ 
chase the necessary commodities, yet at 
the same time secure for himself a reason¬ 
able profit for the capital invested and 
service rendered. 
The Part the Distributor Plays 
By keeping the production centers 
continually advised of the food supply 
required, the distributor will naturally 
aid in preventing the road being ob¬ 
structed at the entrance to the city, as, 
unfortunately the facilities required for 
handling this vast food supply in the city 
have not kept pace with the rapid in¬ 
crease in population, and frequently 
there is such a serious jam of food at the 
city’s entrance that its effect is felt far 
out into the producing centers. 
Between the producer and the dis¬ 
tributor comes the transportation agency, 
whether it be truck, bus lines, railroad or 
waterway. These agencies are at all 
times desirous of handling the maximum 
amount of business, but they are much 
better satisfied to handle a regular amount 
depending on the season, rather than a 
minimum amount at one period and a 
maximum amount at another, which 
means idle equipment during one period 
and shortageof equipment during the other. 
• Cooperation is the watchword of the 
day; and cooperation in its truest sense 
between the producer and the distributor, 
together with the various transportation 
agencies, will insure keeping the road 
open for the city’s food supply without 
interruption, thereby securing a steady 
market for the producer, a steady busi¬ 
ness for the distributor and a permanent 
source of food supply for the ultimate 
consumer at a reasonable price. 
FARMERS IN MARKETING 
BUSINESS 
I F anyone has any doubt as to whether 
or not the farmer is in the marketing 
business, he should read the recent reports 
of the United States Department of 
Agriculture. Reports from over 6,000 
cooperative associations show a total 
business in 1923 of $1,200,000,000, and 
this does not include 4,000 other associa¬ 
tions not yet reported. About 90 per cent, 
of the associations were selling farm prod¬ 
ucts, and about 10 per cent, were en¬ 
gaged in the collective purchasing of 
farm supplies. Grain marketing organ¬ 
izations lead the list making up about 
30 per cent, of the associations. Dairy 
products organizations come next with 
22 per cent.; livestock includes 14 per 
cent, of the associations, and fruit and 
vegetable about 11 per cent.
