MARKETING APPLES,
A Lesson Which the Farmels Rave
Learned This Year.

Selling on the trees is an expensive
way of selling fruit, for one has TO sell
at a discount The buyer must protect
himself and he must have a guarantee
against loss from windstorms and the
ike. This year the growers of apples
in Illinois found it difficult to get into
touch with the sellers. Senator Henry
NJ. Dunlap believes that the Illinois
fruit growers have learned lesson
this year they will long remember.
For Few years past the buyers have
had to come to them. and the fruit
growers have insisted that the buyers
should provide packages But this year
the tables have turned. says Farmers
Review. The growers have had to
hunt the buyers. and they were hard
to find. This year the buyers were
scattered all over the United States
looking for apples. while in recent
years many have been found in Illinois
and neighboring states The large
supplies of apples in other states this
year drew away the buyers and the
growers had to hasten TO get buyers
for their stun.
Some OF the buyers that generally
look after Illinois apples were this
year III New York. There they watched
the crop and tried to buy it, hoping
10 get 1t at from 10 cents to sl.25 per
barrel. or at most sl.50 per barrel.
The New York growers refused TO
sell at that figure and sat down and
waited. At every large apple center
In New York were found buyers wait

are aware that thirteen years before
the MayAower entered Cape Cod Bay
a successful colony of English gentle
men had been planted on the James
River, and that an English Protestant
Church had been established. The
Dutch in New York were some years
later than the Pilgrims; but Spanish

The trapper, noticing a place where

said, with calm conviction:
"This was done either by wild

TRAMPS.

Tramp" names small army of
big and little sinners. Among the
thousands of Migrants are criminals
and degenerates of the worst kind,
whose deeds have made the word
tramp" terror to women in lonely
regions. Probably the rank and file
of the wilfully unemployed are the
Wandering Willies, dear to comic
papers,-whose sin is merely an exag-
geration of the Incidence which is
born in us all.
These amiable vagabonds who en-
JOY vacation of twelve months
year have had an unhindered road and
plenty of free food in a broad, gener-
Gus country. But the day has come
when "Meandering Mike" must find
other occupation than picking the
flowers off century plants. Systematic
charity and criminology are beating
the bush for him and his companions,
and driving them into the corrals Of
civilization.
At the National Conference of
Charities and Correction the commit
tee on Migrants considered the united
duty of state, town and individual to
exterminate the tramp nuisance.
Because the tramp passes on after
a full meal we do not feel the respon-
sibility for him which we feel for Of
tenders who abide in our community
Towns have contented themselves
with sending the vagrant across the
line to the next town, which is like
throwing rubbish over the fence into
our neighbours back yard.
1t is a mistake to feed vagrant I'M
less pays for his food with fair
amc It of work. The great remedy
for the disease of vagrancy is cord
wood, which should be administered
in allopathic doses. Finally, since life
as tramp depends on easy transit,
the railroads need the sanction Of Sc
we're laws in dealing with those who
steal rides. Cut the vagrant off from
unearned food and transportation, and
the "hobo" will disappear.
