Don't Consign.

The consigning Of fruit to Chic.
ago commission houses has In
the past proven very Improbable, as
few shippers have realized anything
upon fruit they have shipped. A
thing that has proven unsatisfactory
in the past should not be repeated
every year, and it is time fruit growers
began looking little more TO their
own interests. This will certainly be
a good year for them to break away
from the commission men, because
there is q shortage in the crop east of
the Rock mountains, which will make
a demand for Oregon fruit, and will
encourage fruit dealers to buy instead
of demanding that fruit be consigned
20 them. II the growers Of Wasco
county will get together and have sn
understanding among themselves as to
when they can get the largest amout
Of fruit on the market. then agree
to not consign even q single car they
can compel the Chicago commission
men to buy. for they want the fruit
and will have IL.
