Little More Reciprocity Needed.

While cabbage groWefs in northern Jasper are hauling fine cababge to the Demotte kraut factory and selling it at $4.50 per ton, Rensselaer people are 'paying. 3 cents per pound for head cabbage at the grocery stores. In other words, a four pound cabbage which the grower only a few miles away gets 1 1-4 cents for, costs the consumer here 12 cents. It is indeed time something was done locally to break the food prices.
