FILLEY GIVES TALK
BEFORE POULTRYMEN
Professor Lectures About
Marketing at Meeting
Thursday.
Prof. 1L C Filley, head of the
agricultural college rural econom
ics department, was principal
speaker at the Thursday morn-
ing marketing program before
the poultrymen at organized ag
riculture. He said, "Efficient marketing
of any product should give extra
9 service at the same cost, or as
much service at the same cost as
any competitive system of mar
keting. "Assembling, grading and
standardization, packaging, pro
cessing, transporting, storing, fi
nancing, and distributing were
listed as the successive steps in
successfully marketing eggs.
"In order to. get trade, common
grocers are willing to handle
eggs at little or no profit and as
a result they get about what they
pay for and pay for about what
they get," he declared.
'Somebody along the line be
tween the producer and the con
sumer tikes care of most of the
steps of efficient marketing a
. trell as possible and the spread
between farm and consumer
prices for eggs is generally a wide
one. Co-operatives that have
been successful have been able
to do most of the ' marketing
4 work for their producer members.
These co-open Cives have not at-
tempted to the price on eggs.
They have rendered a service
mi avd nroducerii some of the
usual profits taken by the pri
vate concerns that make it a
business to handle eggs. In any
case, the big problem is to give
the consumer the kind of egg be
wants, when and where be wants

STUDENTS LEFT
TO OWN DEVICES
AT CHICAGO UNI
CHICAGO, I1L Knowledge of the
amount of time needed for them
as individuals to acquire the neces
sary facts io pass examinations
for a degree will be something
which students at the University
of Chicago must determine for
themselves, effective next autumn.
Dean Chauncey S. Boucher, in
announcing tbe new plan, said its
aim is to set such a level that the
average student can obtain the
bachelor's degree in four years, the
superior student in less time.
"It is our aim and anticipation,"
he added, "that the average stu
dent will not spend any longer
time than formerly in getting an
education, but that he will get
much more of an education in the
same time. The time required for
the superior student to obtain an
education and to qualify for de
grees will be reduced in exact con
formity with his superiority."
With the assistance and counsel
of faculty advisers, the freshman
entering college will be allowed to
decide for himself what his curri
culum shall be, according to the
new plan. When the student aa I
the adviser agree that tbe student
is prepared, he may present him
self for examination to graduate.
Engagement In extra-curricular
activities will be left entire!" to
the individual student Tbe same
tuition rates as are now tn effect
will be charged, unless it is found
that shorting tbe course decreases
tbe university's revenue.
