How to Make the Vegetable Crop
Profit Able

I'rOUoA AOuc.
We have not been able as yet to solve
the problem of distribution Of our Nege-
table crop to secure good prices. Nege.
tables ought to be in universal demand
at the prices We can afford to sell them.
A profit Of 80 cents per crate On leans
and tomatoes would make the raising Of
these vegetables profitable. But after u
few DAYS, or ut most two or three weeks,
shipping We are informed that the mar
kets are glutted and that they will not
pay freight charges. and yet it is very
certain that "a quart of tomatoes cannot
br bought either in New York or in any
Of the interior towns or cities AT less than
10 to % cents per quart. Even in At
lania to-day they sell ut ~ cents per
quart. It is evident that there is "A want
OF system at the selling end Of the line
for distribution. To encourage the con-
tinuance and increase Of vegetable grow
ing in Florida something must be done.
The best thing would be to induce the
purchase of our crops at home where
they are raised. Possibly if producers
would unite in refusing to ship, or have
them an agency in northern markets to
receive and distribute the carg0es Of veg
etablrs AS they arrive, a better result
might be obtainai; but to accomplish
this there must be unity of action. Like
the orange business, every body follows
blindly in shipping at random to com.
mission houses and to places where the
highest prices are quoted, and always
are met with the old story market glut-
ted and low prices. There is In the whole
United States good market for all we
can raise il we could be sure Of quick
and careful transportation and a judi
cious dist rbuton. Freight rates, we
think. are higher than the average prices
received warrant. The transportation
companies should encourage vegetable
growing by every means in their power,
aud fast trains should render the EN-.
ployment Of express companies at IN
creased charges unnecessary,
The experience of the present season
is not satisfactory to the growers, and
when better encouragement Ia received
they will diminish the area oi produc.
ton hereafter. -Fernandna Mirror.
