MARKETING POTATO CROPS,
How the Railroads Made 1t Possible
for the Growers to Get Fair
Prices.

In line with the classic case of the
oyster shippers, cited b. President
Hadley. Of Yale University. in his book
on Railroad Transportation. is the case
Of the Aroostook potat5 growers
brought by President Tut.le. of the
Boston and Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce. Nothing could lie: - show how
railroad works for the iatcrest Of
the localities which il serves.
A main dependence of the farmers
OF the Aroostook region is the potato
crop. aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels which find a mar
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions of New Eng
land. The competition Of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these potatoes
always at very low level.
Potatoes are also a considerable out
put OF the truck farms OF Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities Of that region.
Not many years ago fayoring sun
and rains brought a tremendous Yield
Of potatoes from the Michigan fields.
AT normal rates and prices there would
have been a glut OF the customary
markets and the potatoes would have
rotted on the farms. To help the DO
tsto growers. the railroads from
Michigan made unprecedentedIy low
rates on potatoes TO every readable
market. even carrying them in large
quantities to q place SO remote as Bos-
ton. The Aroostook growers had to
reduce the price on their potatoes, and
even then could not dispose Of them
unless the Boston and Maize railroad
reduced its already low rate. which it
did By means Of these low rates,
making possible low prices, the pota-
to crops Of both Michigan and Maine
were finally marketed. Everybody eats
potatoes. and that year everybody had
all the potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads. had they been applied to
- - 49, fftAaA*f-1 ines.
to all places. they helped their patrons to
md marketsthen The Boston and Maine
Railroad suffered n decrease in its rev.
enue from potatoes. but It enabled the
Aroostook farmers to market their crop
and thereby to obtain money which
they spent for the varied supplies
which the railroads brought TO them.
II the making OF rates were subject to
Governmental adjustAent. such rad
ical and prompt action could never
have been taken, because IL is well es-
tablished that II rate be once re-
duced by a railroad company, IT can
not be restored through the red tame
Of Governmental procedure. II the
Michigan railroads and the Boston and
Maine Railroad had been subjected To
Governmental Limitation they would
have felt Obliged to keep up their rates
as do the railroads OF France and Eng
land and Germany under Governmental
limitation, and let the potatoes rot
