(contributed by Ontario Department -of
Agriculture, Toronto.)
Agricultural products form a very
large percentage of our exports. It
is evident that any increase in our
experts will depend upon our ability
to market co-operatively products
that will please our patrons so much
that they will demand more. We have
to see that our agricultural products
going to the markets of the world go
on to those markets in the shape
and form demanded by the market
we are attempting to gain. We must
adopt the policy of grading our farm
products if we are going to hold our
position. The best markets of the
world demand more uutform pro-
duce, demand greater quantities, de-
mand 1t prepared in a way that is
attractive to the consuming public.
We must be able to furnish large
quantitlea of standard grade depend-
able products et reasonable prices.
packed in such a way that they can
be merchandized without waste.
Advantages of C9 -operative Mar-
keting.
Co-operative marketing aaaucia-
tfuns stop the dumping of agricul-
tural products. As it is now, the
markets are flooded at harvest time
with our own, and other producers'
goods. The wastes are enormous, the
local consuming public and the grow-
er loae, no one benefits excepting the
speculator. Co-operative marketing,
which, by the way, is the end link
in a chain of activities, provides for
a steady How of food products to the
consumer at a reasonable price. It
eliminates the wasteful feast or fam-
ine, glut or nothing, condition on our
markets. The speculator does not
break the price, the farmer(' do tale
themselves by dumping their product
one agalnat the other, making 11 pos-
sible for the speculator to watch the
fight to a finish and then step in and
take the spoils at hie .price. The.
consuming public pay the, full price
irrespective of what the farmer gets
tor the product. This pranUce of
everybody selling at once during the
harvest time, flooding the market for
a few weeks and then leaving it emp-
ty has existed in Ontario since the
beginning of our agriculture. We
have enjoyed the markets of Great
Britain for a great many years in the
past, and now and that we are being
crowded out in the sales of our ea -
portable produce. We annually pro-
duce one hundred million dollars
worth of (fairy products. It might
just as well be two or three hundred
million, because we have the capacity
to produce that quantity, in quality
if we would only get down to it. We
can grow exportable orchard fruits
of the highest quality, we can pro-
duce the highest grade of export
bacon and beef, we can produce the
highest grade of export cereal grains,
we can produce the highest grade of
wool and tobacco. All these com-
modities are soil products, products
that makeaip sixty per cent. of the
total expor25 of Canada. But we can-
not make real progress in agriculture
until we develop the marketing end
of our business.
Progressive Countries Are Crowding
Us Out.
The Danish, the New Zealand and
the United States farmers have in-
vaded and are crowding the Canadian
farts produce from the European
markets. The farmers of these coun-
tries have specialized in production
and organized marketing to a degree
scarcely thought of by the farmers
of our province. These countries in
their struggle for markets are beat-
ing us in the race, and we can only
hope to retain what we have, or re-
gain what we have lost by adopting
methods that will make our farm
products attractive, uniform„of the
highest quality and always available
at a fair price. The only way to
accomplish the . desired end, is
through the adoption of the co-oper-
ative marketing plans by an the
people producing exportable farm
produce.
A co-operative marketing organiz-
ation is most likely to succeed if It
is built around a single Industry, like
grain, fruit. dairy Products, or' wool.
Each branch of the agricultural In-
dustry -has its individual problems to
solve and difficulties to •overcome.
Organizations that have attempted to
handle the marketing of numerous
lines of farm crops have generally
been uneatisfaetory In that the di-
vided interest of the co-operative -is
destructive 'to success.
Co-operation and the Public.
The co-operative organization has
a distinct responsibility to the pub-
lic. It cannot 'live alone. Tbrough
the co-operative handling of crops
the farmer should receive a fair re-
turn for bis products based on the
cost of production. As an outstanding
factor'ln the permanency of the agri-
cultural policy of this province the
farmer must of necessity over a
series of years receive for his crops
a price in excess of the cost of pro-
duction. — Dept. of Agriculture,

PAUPER'S DEATH RECALLS OLD
TIME SCANDAL
Levi Wilson-Moen's recent death,
friendless and alone in Newark, has
recalled memories of a remarkable
scandal with which his name was as-
sociated off and on for forty years, a
scandal, which interested millions of
newspaper readers, seemed a dozen
times about to become the occasion
for drastic police action, but did not
do so, and finally died out without
anybody knowing exadtly what it was
ell about. Just who Levi Wilson -
Moen was- we do not know. His name
was partly assumed. The Moen part
he backed on after the death of Phil-
ip L. Moen, of Worcester, Mass., dread
of the great barbed wire trust. He
gray have been entitled to the name
of Moen. Certainly he had some
strange hold over the old millionaire
for he exrtorte 1 money from his for
years, the ttoottal sum being probably
not far •sh&fit - of half a million
dollars. The dealings of the 'nen
resulted in two suits at law. In one
of them Moen denied that he was
being blackmailed by Wilson; in the
other he asserted that he was :be-
ing blackmailed. One trial ended
inconclusively, the other in favor of
the millionaire, but the judgment
against 'Wilson does not appear to
have prevented him from continuing
his extortions. Even after 'Men's',
death Wilson received a -large sum
of money from the estate.
'Noobody knows to this day when
(the relationship between the twu
men -began. Moen was a millionaire,
and Wilson a young roustabout in
a livery stable, when, so far as is
known, they met for the first time.
One morning Wilson walked into a
bank and presented a cheque for a
large sum signed by . Moen. The
clerk knew both Moen and Wilson,
bttt baring aware that the latter never
had fifty dollars at any one time in
his life before, 'telegraphed to Moen
before he handed out the money.
He received this reply: "Pay any
cheque bearing "my signature that
Levi Wilson may present." The
surprised clerk obeyed and in the

other things, Iohabod Wa'shburn's

ort the market. -Icha'bod was a

besides a business that was later turn-
ed into a trust,
Still less is known about Levi
Wileon. He was supposed to have
been the son of a crachman and his
wife in a little place in Connecticut.
It never was established that he bad
worked for either Washburn or
Moen, although at bhe time he was
drawing his •blackmail from the
latter the general supposition was
that she had Oram some important
inventions for the firm and that he
was only now being rewarded. A
search of the patent records failed
to show Wilson as an inventor, and
certainly Washburn was making
barbed wire when Wilson was a
baby, if not before he was barn.
Then tho supposition was. that Wil-
son had legal proof of some dis-
graceful act that • Moen had com-
mitted and was simply a blackmailer.
Moen was distinguished as a church
worker and supporter and it was
thought that disgrace would break
Ibis -heart even if it had no appreci-
able effects upon the wire business.
But this theory has its manifest
weakness. Moen was already be-
smirched, because Willson had made
no secret of the fact that he could
get as much money from him as he
wanted. At one of the 'trials, Moen
admitted that Wilson was being 'brib-
ed for his silence. He said that bhe
man had come to ,him and told him
that he had been a witness of a cer-
tain disgraceful act and that he want-
ed $100 or there would be .trouble.
Moen denied that the act involved
him, but said that he paid rather
than have a soandal, and having
'rade .the first false step had to con-
tinue to pay. Wilson put forward a
story about a breach of promise
charge which he had settled at
-Moen's instance for a large sum of
money which :he was then trying to
collect from Moen who had made a
first payment and then had default-
ed. These stories were generally dis-
believed and seem to be discredited
by ,bhe known facts. After Moen's
death, Wilson returned from the :q
West where he had been in seclusion
and calling himself Levi Wilson -
Moen secured considerable sums
from the heirs or from a fund which
had been left to provide for him, as
some say, or which 'had been left to
fight his further claims, as others '
say. Later this source failed him
and he died a beggar.
