freight from Ocala 10 Savannah
when II is only fifteen cents from
there to New York. They ought
tn cut frcishts down one-haIt. The
business is already 81 large, and M
crrasIng TO such an eNtent-alm">t
loo per cent. a ysar-that they can
we'll afford to do this. The truth
of the matter Is, We cannot afford
longer to continue the business un-
less freishts are reduced. The same
time has come when they must agree
to allow us share in the profits.
We cannot longer afford to pay a
higher rate Of freight than one,half
of what We have been paying. Now,
if We will take hold of this matter
properly, and work with a will and
in harmony with each other, We can
have thi. freight tariff regulated
And the plan ! would suggest is
this: Let every community IN the
state organize itself into \r"eta
bic Growers Association, and me-
moriaize the transportation compa
mes To cut down frcIght> one half;
at the same time plrlglng ourselves
To each other not to plant a sln"le
vegetable for northern markets un'
less our request Is complied with.
II every vegetable growln@ com
munlty would do this, We can have
irriyh,, reduced, and can yet make
truck farming reasonably profitable.
Tie railroads have an eye To- bust
ness, and will reduce frrl"ht> rather
than run empty cals. Let Us now
wait until they themselves shall pro.
pose a reduction, for this they will
not do 50 Ion" AS they can make rs
pay their unreasonable freight tariff;
but lr, us 90 to work ourselves 10
pro,rc, our interests against the ca
pacions nav of railroad monopo.
