SHIPMENTS or rRIr1r.

THE Texas horticultural association.
composed mainly of the farmers of Gal
weston, Harris and Brazoria counties, is
doing Il great work Tor the truck farmers
of the coast country.
Prior TO the formation OF the association
berry growers shipped their fruit TO North
ern and Eastern houses depending ON tho
consignee to sell and forward returns. In
many instances no returns were made.
Letters were received that the berries
reached their destination al bad shape AID
the amount they brnusht would scarcely
nay the freight, Cases are on record, Whsre
the growers were compelled 10 30 down
in their pockets for freight charges and
this with the loss of their fruit did not
make the business profitable, at least Tor
tho growers,
But it's different now. Instead OF ship
ping 10 commission merchants, buyers
now visit the points OF production aud en-
ter into lively competition for the fruit
They 10 into the fields and ask the farmer
TO state a price and a trade is soon made
Az Alvin a few days ago there were sew
eral buyers from Chicago, Topeka. ST.,
fLouis and interior Texas points, They paid
$3.50 to $500 a crate for strawberries
twenty fonr quarts TO the crate, delivered
at the local depot, and seemed glad TO
get them at this price.
The grower by this arrangement is not
worried about his consignmeDts. He Is
not dependent upon any commission mer-
chant and has no fear that his berries
viii SPOIL en- route and he viii be the
loser. He receives his money npoa deliv-
cry Of his products and here the trans
action ends. And this Is why the main
land fruit growers are today wreathed IN
smiles. The horticultural association Is
responsible for the change. In union there
is strength Is the motto of these coast
country farmers, They are perfectly or
aanized and buyer has TO talk business
strictly and produce the cash 10 back up
his remarks else no makes way for some
one with the money to pay for what he
wants.
In the association are men who have
small truck farms in Galveston Harris
and Brazoria counties. They meet every
now and then, discuss questions OF vital
importance TO the order and after ad-
1ournment 40 hack TO their farms and re-
sumo their garden labors.
