weeks OF shipment the freight is carried
in refrigerator cars as we think it ntces-
sary. We pay freight rate to New
York OF $500 per hundred pounds. This
rate is almost prohibitory. 1t might be
profitable for the first month shipments,
as berries grown in January and Feb
ruary command high prices; but as soon
as the product gets sufficient to ship in
car load lots they won't stand the freight
tariff. | was told by commission man
in Chicago that seventeen quarts sup
piled his market at - PER quart. AS
soon as they become more plentiful the
price gets less. There seems to beno dis
position on the part of the transporta-
ton companies to give us any returns.
We have petitioned and demonstrated
without effect The Louisiana growers,
who are competitors of ours, and whose
products come in few weeks later than
ours, are favored by a through transport
tation line from New Orleans to Chicago,
and they get q rate of $1.O5 from New
Orleans to Chicago. / am speaking of
freight rate. The Mobile growers get
rate OF $1. This in refrigerator cars, but
the shippers pay for the ice. The total
cost to these points amounts to about
two cents per quart. 1t costs US ten
cents, so that when these localities com
mence shipping, it becomes unprofit able
for us to continue. We paid this year
on one carload of berries to New York
$1 ,04O freight. The freight charges alone
were $S15.75 frOn our station to New
York. The same service from other
points think costs them $165. pre-
sumo like all other communities we will
have to work that problem out for our
selves. If the interests become unprOtita-
BILE, we will have to quit it, and that will
certainly be the case if we cannot get
lower transportation. There seems to
be disposition with the railroads be-
tween Florida and New York. to favor
their own localities. They certainly leg
lslate against Florida, so far as supply
ing he market with perishable goods is
concerned.
Mr.. PANTER.-Was that service for
freight or for express?
Mr.. HILL.-That is for freight service
We can ship one box of Strawberries to
New York by express for $19O and we
pay by freight including the refrigerator
service $500. We are obliged to ship on
ice andso we simply freight. The freight
lines also require minimum Of 100 crates
to the car. They willcharge justine same
for % crates as they would if there was
100 crates, but il there is one more than
100 you pay for it ezra. The largest
shipmen' this year was 35I crates to a
car. We had to pay $3.50 freight per
crate on them. The rates are not salts

Mr.. BIELBY.-Is Mr.. Hill able to in 'orm
us who it is that makes these exhorbitant
charges?
Mr. HILL-We don't consider ourraiIroad
is charging too much for the services they
render They have all the handling of

ship to Savannah by rail and from there
by steamer. In the early part Of The sea-
son they carry the fruit in good order by
steamer, but later on we have to ship in
| refrigeratOrs. The strawberry season is
too early for vegetables, and our ship
ping season is generally over before the
vegetable season begins. Our season is
generally over by the first of May but if
we had a low rate of freight we might, in
ordinary seasons ship until the middle OF
May, as it is we stop shipment OF berries
with the bulk of the crop in the field.
There are no vegetables going into mar
ket from this State at strawberry time
except, perhaps, cabbages; tomatoes. Gu
cumbers, string beans and that class Of
vegetables come in later. | know the
transportation companies carry vegeta-
bles for much less than they do berries:
they carry certain grade of vegetables
at rate of sixty and seventy cents per
| hundred, the same bulk that we pay $500
on Strawberries. The refrigerator lines
tel us that they get for their shipments
from Louisiana $3.50 for their service,
and the freight included, while we pay
1904 per hundred. They get for 100
pounds three crates of "a quarts each,
while we get only 81 quarts. From Tex
as they carry berries to different poin'
for from SO to 60 cents per 100 Wepay
$500. / do not think this matter has
been brought before the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Mr.. BACoN.-What efforts have been
made to compromise with the railroad
companies? Has there been any combi-
nation OF the growers to try and influence
them?
Mr.. HILL.-Only in q local way. think
that the Farmers Alliance or Exchange
has been trying to work up lower rate
of freight. We get plenty of promises
but no favorable results. Last year we
were assured by the different traffic lines
that there would undoubtedly be lower
rates for this season, but we were unable
to get any rates or to know anything
about what our rate was to be until we
began shipping in carload lots, then they.
said the rate given was the best they
could do; then we had the berries to ship
and they knew it. It depends great
deal upon the refrigerators how long the
berries will keep in the cars, have seen
them that would keep two weeks. This
season we expected to get good rates
over the new road that came into Palat
ka, but it came too late to do us any
good this season. live could only get
perfect service by the steamship lines we
might do better.
| Mr.. PHELPs.-Is not the great difficult
ty that the initial lines cannot make
satisfactory arrangements with other
| lines?
Mr.. HILL.-That is what is the matter
l really believe that the Manager of trans
portation of our road has done all he
could to get satisfactory rate with
other lines, and he assures me that he will
continue his efforts, but he has but little
| to say about it, as our road only hauls
the product. forty miles, and gives all the
service it can; they will even send spec
ial engine to our station to take GER
| load of berries to the other end. Not

think perhaps too much has been sale
about the net profits that have been made
on the strawberry culture. [ think the
railroads have been thinking that man
only has to have a few acres OF straw
berries to get rich, and they want it all
A crate of berries in the New York mar
ket at 80 per quart will supply that mar
ket.
Mr. HILL have some statistics from
California showing what freight the Cali
fornians ray on their shipments to New
York, and find that we pay more from
Florida than they do. They have an Or
ganization in California known as the
Shippers Union, and they ship in train
lots. Seven cars constitute train, and
this train takes the preference over any
other train on the roads. They are
loaded by the shippers and placed ahead
OF the express trains which are not allow
to pass them. For that service they pay
$40 per car load, and the time is seven
days. We pay 1915 for the same service
They will carry any kind of perishable
fruits, plums, peaches and anything that
can be shipped in car load lots to New
York in refrigerator cars with the same
service that we have for Strawberries for
$475 per car. For that same service we
pay .$1,O4 1t is simply ain outrage
and [ am glad to bring it before the So
ciety SO that it can be published and be
come more generally known. The re-
dress is a question for us to figure out
The rate is prohibitory, and the time
from Jacksonville with this service is
four days. A car shipped from Jackson

Last year we received payment from
the transportation companies for cal
load of berries that was smashed up, but
it is always hard matter to prove that
the railroad companies are at fault.
think it would be better for us to take
the risk and pull the cars ourselves.
Mr.. BACoN.-How often could you ship
a carload OF berries from your station

bushels, or four car loads per day There

THREE Coon DEnDs. Franklin Murphy brought sympathetic tears to the eyes of his hearers at the dinner of the Leather Manufacturers association by relating g story of benevolence. A friend of his, he said, was walking down to business one morning when he saw g young woman with baby in her arms sitting on church step and weeping. The man, whom Mir. Murphy called Jones, was touched by hor apparent distress and ashed her what was the cause of 1t.
 ssI walked into town, she replied, ito have my baby baptized, and now it will cost $3 to have the service performed. l haven't the money and l don't know what l to do"
 ssWell, that's small matter, " said Jones, II haven't $3 in change, but here's ten dollar bill. Take it and will wait here for the change"
 The woman returned in short time and handed Jones$7. He patted the child's head and went down town, rejoicing in his own goodness. He felt good all day and his countenance shone with an unusual brightness. His associates all noticed the change, and finally one of them asked him the cause of it.
 II am happier than usual today" said Jones, "and the reason of it is that did
 three good things on my way down town

Ayers Hair Vigor

not only prevented my wife from becoming bald, but it also caused an entirely new growth of hair. am ready to certifyto this statement before justice cf the peace.,'- Fl. Hulsebus, Lewisburgh, Iowa.
 Some years ago, after severe attack of brain fever, my hair all came out. II used such preparations for restoring 1t as my ply- sicians ordered, but failed to produce a growth of hair. I then tried, successively. several articles recommended by druggists. and all alike fell short of accomplishing tho desired result. The last remedy applied was Ayers Hair Vigor, which brought . growth of hair in 8 few weeks. ' think . used eight bottles in two years; more than was necessary as restorative, but liked it as dressing, and have continued to use it for that purpose. I believe Ayers Hair Vigor possesses virtues far above those Of any similar preparation now on the market" Vincent Jones, Richmond. Ind.
