To Michigan Fruit Growers

1hls Is an era OF organization. Ohe
can scarcely glance at the columns of
daily paper without noticing con-
ventions of this, that and the other
profession, trade or calling. Capital
is organized, labor is organized,
churches, ministers, lawyers, doctors,
bankers, dentists, printers, publishers,
undertakers, grocers, travelling sales
men, miners, mine operators, railroad
men, ct cetera, ali are organized, ex-
cept the farmer and fruit-grower.
Horticulture has become leading
industry in Michigan, especially in
the southwestern part of the state,
and the "Michigan Fruit Belt" is
known and noted throughout the en-
tire country. And yet the fruit
growers have been patiently and
laboriously developing and building
up this great industry, to entrust
their fate to the hands of any Tom,
Dick or Harry-responsible or ire
sponsible, more apt to be the latter
who chooses to advertise himself as a
commission merchant, and to receive
whatever may be LETT of the pro-
ceeds Of their labor, the aforesaid
commission merchant first retain
ing any sum he pleases, greater
or less, according to the degree of
his honesty-or dishonesty. From
the very nature of the case, most
fruits being quickly perishable, they
must be sold as soon as they can be
marketed, and, without organization,
there appears to be no way of escap-
ing from the tender e? mercy of the
commission man.
Speaking of this state of affairs the
South Haven News says:
During the late depression in the
prices of fruit on South Water street,
when berries were selling at twenty
FIVE and thirty cents case, out in the
suburban towns they were then sell
ing at eight to ten cents boX-or
from S1.25 to SLIGO per case. This
may be no ones fault. The commits
sion man may have made correct re-
turns at the 20 cent rate, and the re-
taller may have made all the profit.
We say it may have been that way,
but it looks hardly probable.
Experience is said to teach a dear
school. We would not intimate
that Michigan horticultursts are of
the class that learn in no other;
nevertheless, they should profit by
past experience and the example
set by other trades and callings; they
should organize and combine for their
own protection, yea, for their own
salvation. They are strong enough,
they are numerous enough to do this
if they choose. Let them provide
their own middle men, men whom
they can trust, out of their own
number if need be; let them hire
their own places of business and sell
their own goods; or let them, if
thought advisable, insist that the
buyer come to them, instead of their
seeking the buyer, or let them adopt
some other method by which the le
gitimate profits of their labor shall
remain with themselves, instead of
going to enrich the careless or dis
honest middle man.
In short the fruit-grower, if he
would prosper, must learn to do busi-
ness according to modern business
methods, remembering that he must
care for his own interests or they will
go uncared for.

The Red Rocks.

In sight Of the Erie tracks, between
Susquehanna and Great Bend, are the
Red rocks, q red cliff standing above
the Susquehanna river. Near them can
be seen traces of the grave Of a beauti-
full Indian maiden, the daughter Of a
famous chief She was betrothed to a
young brave, a member Of her father $
tribe, then encamped near here. Her fa-
ther desired her to marry the son of the
chief Of the neighboring tribe, and the
wish Of the paternal ancestor usually
counted for something
IN consequence she resolved 20 fly to
the happy hunting grounds and one
night she stole noiselessly from her wig
wan, and, with the death song upon
her lips, flung herself from the high
cliff, her life's blood staining the rocks
below. And TO this day they have retain
ed the reddish hue which the rains and
floods Of a century have failed to efface.
When the maiden's lover saw her
mangled corpse he retired to a cave in
the mountains and never again was seen
alive. Forty years later his petrifed
body was found in the cave by a wan
dering remnant Of the tribe. Under his
body were found the long raven tresses
of the old chiefs daughter. New York

Some curiosities Of Etiquette In the Meth
erlands.
An unmarried girl in Holland always
takes the right arm of her escort, while
the married one selects the left side Of
her husband. So deeply has this custom
entered into the life Of Hollanders that
at a wedding the bride enters the church
on the right side Of the groom, the
young wife returning on the left side Of
her husband when the ceremony has
been performed No unmarried lady in
this country can dream of going to
church, concert or any other place of
public assemblage without the escort Of
parents or male members of the family.
She cannot take walk, pay visit or
50 shopping unaccompanied by her
mother or some married lady friend.
The Holland young lady does not 50
to the theater with the gentleman who
has been introduced to her week be-
fore, neither does she vary her beau to
suit her dress on complexion. Unmarried
daughters are chaperoned TO all places
of amusement. Even dancing parties are
interspersed with songs, recitations,
ETC., for the amusement of elders of the
family who sit around tables socially
slipping their coffee, wine or other favor
ed beverage, while the young members
glide over the waxed floors to the fitful
strains Of music. Here the young must
make the best of their opportunities, for
when it pleases the parents TO seek the
quiet solace of the house the daughters
also quit the gayety of the ballroom. -
