Letting consignments, with promises
of prompt returns, to learn which
is often an expensive procedure.
To condemn the whole tribe because
of dishonesty of few, if applied to all
lines of business, would place producer
and dealer as far apart as are the
poles, and the frigidity Of either would
reach to the other. Properly handled,
all marketing of fruit through COM
mission merchants gives good results,
no doubt, to both parties interested.
Probably ninetenths of the fruits and
vegetables grown are disposed of in
this way. The dealer receives the con-
signment, pays the transportation
charges, advertises it perhaps, seeks
a buyer, and, when sold, deducts
charges and his commission, usually
10 per cent, and RENTS the balance.
"Often,' says writer in a Mary
land bulletin, zone hears the commls-
sion man spoken of by the fruit grow
er as a rascal, while the commission
man regards the farmer as a most
shiftless business man. There is much
to be said on both sides, but it may
safely be said that selling by commits
sion is loose method of business
when regarded from the interests of
the consignor. In the first place the
commission man bears no risk, as the
fruit is the property of the consignor
till sold, and the latter carries all risk
and bears all losses. The commission

man has usually little or nothing in
vested III stores or warehouses for
his consignor's fruit Often he sells
the fruit by auction or private sale
from wharves or railway platforms in
which he has not cents worth of
interest, or uses the public streets and
pavements before his small shop. The
sender of the fruit has only the com
mission merchants word for the price
at which his fruit or truck Sold This
is certainly a loose method of business,
and gives great opportunity for fraud
and has often been taken advantage
OF by dishonest merchants. This fact
has branded the whole commission
fraternity as thieves and robbers
However, honest merchants by their
commission leagues and societies have
found means Of shutting out dishonest.
men from the business, yet it is easy
to see that the advantages OF commits
sion selling are largely in favor of the
cons1gnee rather than of the consignor.
"A great deal of the adverse criticism
and even opprobrium that is cast upon
commission merchants for small re-
turns is often due to the growers
carelessness, lack of business ability
or lack OF knowledge of market condi,
tions"

The Commission Merchant.

A large number of growers do
not avail themselves of association
handling; some because they prefer to
transact their own business in their
own way; others because they are not
within easy reaching distance of the
manager To these the commission

the grower has sold his crop on tree
or bush or vine, and so become re-

are becoming power in the land too.
The old-fashioned harvest homes were
being revived again, where at the
close of the season each one brought
the best he had of its kind, and shared
it with his neighbor. Oh, those were
grand old rallies, filled with comfort
and cheer Each one trying to out-do
the other in deeds Of kindness, until
all were filled and still many baskets
left over Come, brother farmers and
fruit growers, ''get move on you,"
and lets be up and doing.
Let us demand the parcels post, as
we have a right to, and it will come,
sure.
But here am babbling on, and
there is the fertilizing question, fruit
growing, and starting new home in
the piney woods of Florida, and lots
of other things not touched on at all,
and the clock goes tick, took, tick, took.
Time to get out, you old loafer. and
pick up those roots and get them out
of sight so your place won't look quite
SO much like a crows nest-and the
clock knows best. And my dear read
ers, the dream is ended and I must HE
me forth to the health giving exer-
else Of cleaning up new land.
It's glorious, and so hea1thfuI too,
gathering roots my dear reader. Did
you ever try it? If not, you've missed
much of life. Somehow the occupa-
ton of cleaning new land, and gather
ing roots in particular, seems to bring
YOU closer to nature than most any
other thing. You have to get right

chance for once to hit you right SQUARE
on the back, and SO you get a delicious
sun bath on your person. and incident
ally some dirt Then, too, there is a
sense in the calling of the wild that
has been so much in vogue of late.
At least there is often some wild re-
marks to be recorded as you work
out a tough willow oak root, and with

same time. Oh, yes, lots Of health Civ
ing exercise about it, and SO I can't
resist any longer the temptation to get
out and gather them up.
But somehow I do Just dislike to
quit scattering great chunks of wisdom
around, as [ have been doing for the
last hour. when it's so pleasant to
SIT IN the shade and scatter the golden
seed with such lavish hand. It's
little bit extravagant to be sure. But
then, it's on the order of the 1oaves
and fishes, you see there will be lots
OF fragments left over from the feast.
and some of the fragments will be
about as good as new, not more than
bite or two taken out.
Well, must quit and HE me forth
