Don't Try Educating Consumers.
Recently a neighbor of the writer asked
Tor some advice regarding the selects, @f
varieties of strawberries fer q nearby
market and objected 10 the advice given
because he. the grower, did not fancy the
variety named. On the other hand. the
writer knew that the majority of the sorts
recommended would give the grower just
the nd Of berry his market wanted, the
kinds that had brought The bes, priats
l each year for n number Of years. The
consuming public ah large towns and
cities are much better posted on soil prod

being. SO 1t will not do to attempt to force
individual preferences upon them. If
ones soil will grow a fruit proftably then
the thing to do is to get the variety OF
that fruit best suited to the market dee

higher price for White eggs than for
brown ones we must either raise the hens
to lay the white eggs or find "a marke
where the brown eggs are preferred.
