STUDIES OF MARKETING.
Office ef Markets and Rural Organiza?
tion Reports on Results of Year's
Work.
The advantages of cooperation in
the marketing of farm products are
emphasized in the annual report of
the Ofllco of Markets and Rural Or?
ganization of the department, which
has Just boen published. "The conclu?
sion seems warranted,' says the re?
port, "that in communities where co?
operation is practically applied to the
farmer's business, the results obtain?
ed are far more satisfactory than
thoso secured by individual methods."
It Is estimated that farmers' cooper?
ative marketing and purchasing or?
ganizations will transact this year a
total business amounting to more than
$1,400,000,000. Agricultural coopera?
tion In the United States Is, therefore,
far more prevalent than is generally
believed, but it is not yet upon a suffi?
ciently strong business basis. For
this reason the Office of Markets has!
studied the various methods employ?
ed by these associations and has work?
ed to devise means by which these
methods can be perfected. The studies
also have Included the prevailing
methods of marketing perishable pro?
ducta?cotton, grain, cotton seed,
live stock, and animal products.
Studies have also been made of city
markets In order to secure In this way
information which may open up out?
lets for farm products. In this con?
nection the report calls attention to
t he experimental work in distributing
timely marketing information con?
cerning perishable products. An ef?
fort has been made to keep producers
informed of arrivals and conditions in
the large markets and, on the other
hand, to keep dealers informed of
shipments from the important pro?
ducing sections. Strawberries, peaches,
tomatoes, and cantaloupes wert the
crops covered in this way during the
past season. There is evidence, says !
the report, that as a result of this ser?
vice, distribution has been Improved,
glutted markets have been prevented
to some extent, total shipments from
several districts have been greater
than they would have been otherwise,
and that large bodies of growers have
received accurate and disinterested in?
formation concerning prevailing con?
ditions In competing producing areas
and In distant markets. Several im?
portant newspapers have cooperated
In this work by publishing these re?
port*, end there is reason to believe
that others also will publish thorn
v/hen LUo Service IS extended to Coyer
rroducts that arc of particular interest,
to their reader*;.
The work of encouraging the prop- ,
er preparation of products for market
has been continued. The ultimate aim
of this campaign, of education Is the
national standardisation of market
grades and also packages or contain?
ers.
Investigation Into the problems of
transportation and storage has been
continued with a view to determining
the causes of the great loss of food?
stuffs between the producer and tho
consumer. Experimental shipments by
parcel post and express were made
during the year with many kinds of
fruits and berries, lettuce, milk, but?
ter, eggs, syrup, and vegetables. In
nearly every case it was found that
the success of the shipment depended
upon the Judgment uset??**? selecting
I the quality of the product and the
typo of container.
j In addition to Its work of investiga- I
tlon and study of marketing condi?
tions in general the Office of Markets
and Rural Organization has charge of
the administration of the cotton-fu?
tures act. In accordance with the
terms of this act 13 cities have been
designated as bona fide spot markets
for cotton. The provision for the de?
termination of disputes between per?
sons making and receiving tenders of
cotton under section 5 of the act be?
came operative on February 18. Be?
tween that time and the oxpiration of
the fiscal year, June 30, 1915, dis?
pute? involving a total of 44,775
bales were handled by the office.
Twenty-one Bpot exchanges have
adopted the official cotton standards,
although their use is optional except
with the future exchanges at New
York and New Orleans. Representa?
tives of the department have also
visited Bremen, Liverpool, and Havre
to turther the universal adoption of
these standards.
Other work done by the Office of
Markets and Rural Organization in
connection with cotton during the past
year has included a study of cotton
handling and market, of the problem
of cotton warehouses, and an inves?
tigation of methods of marketing the
cottonseed crop. In all, 124 uses for
cottonseed products and by-products
are now recognized. Exclusive of
culinary purposes, the report says,
the by-products of cottonseed oil are
used extensively for soap and wash?
ing powders, and to some extent in
such commodities as putty, candles,
insulating material, paint, composi?
tion roofing, linoleum, artificial leath?
er, and stearic and oleic acids. Lint?
ers and cottonseed hull fiber are being
used to a great extent in the prepara?
tion of cellulose. This is the basis
of the different kinds of smokeless
powder, cordite, and other high explo?
sives.
Aother important division of the
work of the office for the past year is
its rural organization investigations,
in particular Its study of the problems
of rural credit and insurance.
KAISER TO UNDERGO OPERA?
TION.
Thought to Be Victim of Cancer of
the Throat.
Paris, Jan. 4.?The Matin affirms,
notwithstanding denials, that the Ger?
man emperor is suffering from cancer I
of the throat and is no longer able
to speak.
"In February, 1911," according to
the Matin,* "the doctors were Consider?
ing whether it was necessary to re?
move the entire larynx in order to
stay: the progress of the disease. They
raised the question as to whether the
emperor would be able to speak if
such an operation were performed.
The leading specialists* of every capi?
tal In Europe were consulted. It was
learned that an eminent surgeon of
Paris had, with an artificial larynx
and! a breathing tube opening Into
thai trachea, restored the power of
spolch to cancerous patients who had |
undergone total ablation the af
fo< wa organs.*'
Ttas doctor, who*e name The Matin
withholds for reasons of pl?fessidndl
etiquette, was asked to go to Berlin
by the German ambassador. He was
offered 100,000 francs and all his ex?
penses and was requested to bring
with him a patient who had been fitted
with the apparatus, so that the em?
peror himself might see if he was able
tq, j|peak.
"Meanwhile, as a result of a minor
operation with a bistoury and a few
weeks absolute rest, the emperor's
condition Improved as Is often the case
In this disease the progress of which
Is implacable, but slow. It is another
operation of this kind which has Just
beon performed. But It, Is only pallia?
tive. The German emperor must either
make up his mind to complete removal
of the larynx or be stifled by the
growth.
'This explains why the emperor
wept neither to Warsaw, Constanti?
nople or Brussels."
Licenses to marry were Issued to J.
D. Jennings and Miss Myrtle Boatfleld,
Sumter, and T. J. White, Branchville,
and Miss Sue V. Folk, Dalzell, yester?
day. A license was also granted
John Colclough, Sumter and Lethea
Conyers, Wedgefleld.
To insure a return of prosperity,
this year must be one of the closest
economy.
