What shal1 wo do with our fruit Thia ques-

oven where honest roturns aro made, IN unlook-
ed-for glut in the market, extreme hot wonther,
or unavoidable dolays must often result in such
losscs during tho ripouing Boason aa to bal
anco all tho profit Of tho moro fortunate
shipmcnsa. We must have ao,no mothod by
which this pcrishablo fruit can be preserved,
either by drying or canning,-thns avoiding
tho brcaf-downH, and preserving tho fruit tor
future uno for tle consumer, and securing Tho
producer against loss. But cheap and effective
mothod of thus preserving fruits requires IN
outlay OF capital not often In tho hands Of the
growers. There must be corporation, and a
Company making this its special busincas, ns q
necessity OF oyeIy fruit-growing 1ocnlity. Henco
cur Club extends cordial invitation Of such an
nduHtry to tho flattoring locality Of our boauti"
fgl town, US being ono Of tic best fruit-regions
in the United Statos. For further information,
