A STUDY OF marki
Some Points Which the Farmer
Should Consider
By C W Pugsley Professor of Agron
omy and Farm Management Ne
braska Experiment Station
The question often arises in the
farmers mind as to whether he shall
market his products at retail or at
wholesale - The advantages of the re
tail method to the producer are usual
Jv that he will receive a higher price
and that he will be able to market
his products close to home The dis
advantages of the retail are
First That he is at a greater ex
pense This greater expense comes in
the extra pains he has to make in the
boxing and packing the extra men
and teams it takes to deliver to the re
tail trade
Second In the poor price he will
receive for any surplus which he may
have over and above what tho retail
demands As a rule it is not possible
for the retailer to get from his mer
chant as large a price for his surplus
as it would be if he were not in com
petition with him for the retail busi
ness
Third The loss that will come from
dissatisfied customers and bad debts
which he must necessarily have There
will always be some of both no mat
ter how good his product is or how
careful he is in the selection of his
customers
Fourth In the extra expense he
will be to in advertising his business
Judicious advertising is a very im
portant thing now days in the retail
farm business and T is an item which
must not be overlooked but usually
one which pays good dividends
It is necessary for the business
farmer to keep accurate accounts of
the cost of production and the cost of
marketing
Besides if he is keeping accounts
he will be much better situated to
watch the market I had occasion
some time ago to prepare a table from
the high and low prices received for
corn wheat oats cattle and hogs for
a period of forty two years these be
ing compiled by the month I found
that during the forty two years the
highest prices were paid for corn
more often during the month of May
than during any other month in the
year and that the lowest prices was
paid during the months of December
January and February that the aver
age range for this period between the
highest and the lowest was 2Sc per
bushel The reason of course why
corn is the lowest during the months
mentioned is because most farmers
have time to liail their corn away at
this season of the yar many farmers
have not gone to the trouble to build
cribs and bins in which to store their
corn and so the market is flooded In
the case of wheat the highest price hit
the months of April and May the often
ost while the lowest price struck the
month of August with a range be
tween the highest and lowest of 51c
per bushel Of course August is the
month when the grain is being
threshed as a rule and many farmers
from lack of bins haul the grain to
market at this time of the year With
oats the highest prices are in the
months of May and June while the
lowest are during August with an av
erage range of 20c per bushel The
same reason applies here that applied
with wheat In the case of cattle the
highest prices have struck the often
est in the months of March April and
May and the lowest during November
December and January the average
difference being 1 per hundred
weight With hogs the highest prices
are paid during July August and Sep
tember and the lowest during Decem
ber and January with an average
range of 150 per hundredweight
Now the farmer in figuring whether
or not he can afford to hold his grain
until the season of the year when ho
will most likely receive the highest
price must take into consideration
the following items The cost of the
construction of bins and the interest
on money invested irr same the value
of his time during the season when
the highest price occurs the shrink
age of the grain which will always
occur in carrying it from one season
to another the loss from weevil leak
age mice and other things which in
some localities are doubtless hevy
In reference to the cattle he must
take into consideration the price of
corn at the two seasons of the year
the availability of labor the price of
hay and the price which he would
have to pay for his feeders With
hogs he must remember that the
months of July August and September
are hot months and that there will
probably be a greater loss when he
markets at this season Let him also
remember that tho most profitable
weight in which to market a hog is
from 200 to 300 pounds and that this
weight should be attained at the age
of from eight to twelve months This
makes it necessary for him if he is
going to hit the highest point in tho
August market to raise fall pigs and
in the raising of these fall pigs he
must coifnt the necessary cost of a
good house the extra care it takes to
carry them through the months
and the greater loss there is with pig3
of this class He must also remember
that the pigs are small during the win
ter and do not take a great deal of
feed and that by the time his spring
pastures are ready his pigs are at an
age when they will gain the most rap
idly on pasture with a liberal allow
ance of corn
These are only some of the points
Wrb the farmer should consider
