PENN LAND
The Circulation Field
of Pennsylvania Farmer
Farmers in this field have the advantage of the most concentrated popu-
lation in the country — a field consuming more food products that it produces.
POPULATION PER SQUARE MILE OF LAND AREA— 1930
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland
and West Virginia, average 196
Remaining 43 States 37
With immediate home markets, most farm products are delivered without
freight costs, and in any case, with only a very low freight cost. Motor trucks
are used more extensively than in any other section of the country.

subject of national or general interest that a
national farm paper can.

Over a period of years Pennsylvania
has ranked from r4th to 8th among all
states in farmers' cash income.
This does not include $44,000,000
worth of farm products for home use, nor
substantial revenue many farm families
receive from underlying oil, gas, coal,
and from off-season work in nearby mills
and factories.
(So-urce - latest government figures
available as of November 1, 1936
Pennsylvania does not rank below 15th in any of these items and compares
favorably \vith other states, which are us-ually considered almost exclusively
agricalt-ural states.

Pennsylvania Is An Agricultural Statt
Pennsylvania farmers sell
$55,000,000 annually
in farm products direct to
consumers in 1 32 farmer
markets
On October 7, the Borough of Hanover in York
County opened its new municipal farmers' market
for operation, says the Pennsylvania bureau of
markets. The market, which comprises a new one-
story brick and steel building, 64 feet wide and
156 feet long, containing 96 stalls, was built by
the borough to replace the curb market which has
been in operation many years, the bureau special-
ists explain. It is a modem market in every re-
spect, being well lighted and ventilated, attractive-
ly laid out and sanitarily equipped with ample
parking space to the rear for the accommodation
of tenants and buyers. This market cost the bor-
ough only $15,000 complete, which is described as
an unbelievably low sum considering the substan-
tial construction of the building and the fact that
the equipment includes two comfort stations, steam
heating plant, white enameled stands, white butch-
er cases, good electric lights and complete plumb-
ing supplies.
Because of the low costs, the borough is able to
rent space to farmers and dealers at a very low
price and hence a complete occupancy is assured.
In addition to using the building for a farmers'
market, the Hanover authorities plan to hold an-
nual automobile, flovi-er, farm products and other
shows to stimulate local enterprises, in the prem-
ises.
This latest adition to Pennsylvania farmers'
market houses brings the total number of enclosed
retail farm markets in this State to seventy. In
adition to the enclosed markets, Pennsylvania has
62 open air or curb markets still in operation,
making a total of 132 farmers' markets in this
State. The business transacted at these markets is
estimated to exceed $55,000,000 annually in farm
products alone.
From Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture
Weekly News Bulletin, October 19-26. 1933.
This is an average of $319.00 per farm direct cash sales in nearby markets
with a minimum of transportation charges (almost all conveyed by farmers'
own trucks). Net cash — no commission or brokers' charges. The actual sales
by those farmers who sell in these markets is no doubt much over S500.00
on the average. This does not include major crops, grains, livestock, milk, etc.
This is really an enlargement of the old-time "Butter and Egg money" of the
farm wife. It is made possible by home markets for all that Pennsylvania
farms produce.
This does not include "Road-Side" markets on which no estimate can be made.

Pennsylvania Farmer

Pittst-urgh, Pa
Attn: Mr» Neff Laing
General Manager
Dear Mr. Laing;
The Pennsylvania Parmer seems to nave greater
piilling power than the average farm magazine judging from
our experience.
Returns indicate a better than usual reader
interest and we "believe that any farm paper advertising
schedule should certainly include the Pennsylvania Farmer*
Very truly yours,
N. D. Grasty (Signed)
