growers will be obliged to use littlt
"strategy' to save themselves from loss
in the future. 1t is surely losing bust
ness to sell fine fruit at this rate-twenty
five cents bushel. 1t looks like forced
trade. Some cheap plan must be devised
for keeping apples when they arc so plen
ty the country over, and then put then
out upon the market when they are want
ed. The men who have erected fruit-pre
serving houses, will be enabled this sea
son to till them at half the usual cost, anG
next May, June and July, will find ready
sale for the fruit at good prices. Frui
growers must manage to keep their Sw1
fruit until they can realize fair profits
