EMPTY PEACH BASKETS.
THE PROPOSITION TO DOaAWAY
a WITH THEIR RETURN TO
THE GROWERS,


Abiding to the present system of peach
shipments, by which the empty baskets
were returned to the shipper, and the diff
ficulties in the successful accomplishment
of sthe desired end, the Smyrna Times
says .4r
In the sale of no other fruit is this re-
quired. The apple barrels of the North
and the orange boxes of the South 20
with the fruit. And this is what the
railroad company is after now in the peach
business. And we believe that result
will follow. We will never have, per-
haps, another crop as large as that of
1875 the indications are that the crop
will decrease while the facilities for bas-
ket making are all the time increasing
and the baskets gradually cheapening.
The factories in our midst are now max
ing about 5000 baskets per day, and can
increase the quantity. A basket that
cost from 18 to rs cents at the first start
in the basket business is now made here
for and 8 cents. They have been sold
here in wholesale lots at these figures
this season. And the indications are that
less substantial basket, with fewer nails
IN it, could be built for even less than
this.
The growers seem to think that bas-
ket at 8 cents could be allowed to &c
with the fruit, and they could more thar
save the extra cost for new baskets in the
decrease of freights offered by the rail.
road companies. The business, as now
conducted, in the retnrn of empties, re-
quires the farmers to lay in about 33S
baskets for every 1000 baskets of fruit
they expect to ship. Last year a mar
who shipped 5000 baskets of fruit, hat
to have 1000 baskets at S100a$112
If the return of empties were abandoned
and the price reduced to cents, it woulC
take 5000 at cost of $3.50. As thu
railroad company promises a reduction
in freights if the empties are not deman
ded, this increased expense of from S3(
TO $50 could be made up by said reduc
ton as before stated.
| Can two-thirds as many more baskets
be manufactured is frequently asked
We think there is no doubt of that. TIL,
supply has always equaled the demand
But only the factories that can turn ou
baskets by the million (like ours) cal
succeed.

mighty dollar has also quite religious or
pious attraction. Oh this bewitching piece
