THE editor of the Sussex Repub-
lican Is disposed to class all buyers
Of fruits at the depots Of Delaware,
as rascals, by attributing to them
combinations to keep prices down,
ETC., and advises growers to form
similar combinations and ship their
fruit in carload lots. This advice
proves the fact that the editor of
that paper is not a practical grower
of fruits, or one who is familiar
with the methods Of a certain per-
centage Of commission houses in
the cities. What he advises is ex-
actly what the crook in the COM
mission houses is waiting for, and
if The letters on this subject which
have been printed in the magazines
Of this country, by people who have
made investigation of the methods
employed by swindlers in the com
mission business in all our great
cities, had have been read by this
particular Georgetown editor, his
advice to the growers of Sussex
county would not, or should not,
have been written. The season
just closed has been one of unpre-
cedented wet weather, and for that
reason the berries were in poor con
dition on arrival at destination, and
the prices were off. Sell at the
depot when ever the prices afford a |
profit, is safe plan for either the
big or small grower Of fruits.
