"X-nl libby, McNeill & Libby, Chicago L jj The Farmer's Jf Share - . ijlb Live stock is marketed from Ik l lij farmer to consumer at a lower cost than almost any other farm 1 1 if - product. I .; i! Ij The United States Department of jjl I ill agriculture reported in 1916 that the jj farmer gets for his cattle "approxi- jj! ( mately two-thirds to three-fourths" of the final retail price paid by the con- m ! sumer for the resulting beef. jj j l Under normal conditions, the farmer's ;j S share of retail prices of various farm jj! j 'J jj products is approximately as follows: j 1 Butter 71 per cent I ji CATTLE ' 66 to 75 per cent jj j rill Egg 65 per cent . J J Potatoes 55 per cent ji ml Poultry 45 per cent 1 ml pl 'Fruits 35 per cent j ill ijl! The difference between farmer's price jj j ! and retail price represents the necessary jjl f I expenses of packing, freight and whole- !j j jjjllj sale and retail distribution. jj Si I J Swift & Company not only performs jijjl jj I the manufacturing operations of pre- jjij ; I I paring cattle for market in its well- jj j i! jf equipped packing plants, but it pays the !
