of those who have tried both. But
Mr.. Thompson thinks he has furnished
his browning reason in favor of barrels
when he states: 81 venture the asser-
tion that there are so apple buyers in
the barrel section to one in the box
district and nearly all our clients
from the east are asking for barrel
goods. - Is it true that the eastern
buyers are asking for western apples
to be shipped in barrels? Mr..
Thompson must be ignorant of the
fact that discussion has been going on
IN the eastern papers on this very
point. The Rural New Yorker recently
sent out inquiries to the apple dealers
of the eastern cities for an expression
on this very point. have not space
to quote all the answers but not one
CT them preferred barrels in handling
the western apples. Here is a sample
of these answers from the Rural New
Yorker of November 10, 1910.
"There is only one producing Sec
tion which uses the box as vehicle
in the disposition Of their fruit and
that is the mountain and Pacific coast
country. The fruit in New York,
Virginia and New England is not
packed in boxes, except in a very
small way. The fact IS the growers
in the east do not seem to feel in
clined to take care of their orchards,
or give their orchards that attention
which the western grower does, with
the result that the fruit in the east
is not of sufficiently good quality to
be packed in boxes With any good
results. AS you are probably aware.
there is about one bushel of good
apples usually found in the barrel,
the balance being mostly off grades
and as this off stuff is usually found
in the middle of the barrel, it cannot
be seen by the buyer, whereas if the
same stuff is packed in boxes opening
tx p, side or bottom exposes the poor
fruit, with the result that the apple
gr overs in the east prefer shipping In
barrels rather than boxes.
RAE &HATFIELD.
New York.
GAS a general rule, the eastern
apples put UP in boxes do not meet
with popular demand. as it is practic-
ally impossible for New York,
Virginia, New England and other
points to produce the same quality
of apples that the northwest produc-
ing points put into their boxes. The
eastern points could easily do so
we're it not for the fact that they
grade much lower than the western
points, and inasmuch as it is practlc-
ally impossible to change the grading
of eastern stock, it is much better
for them to continue the barrel pack
age than to attempt to compete their
fruit in boxes against the northwest

By all means farmers should avoid
too many middlemen. We cannot do
without wholesalers altogether but
when the men between the grower and
the consumer get two-thirds of each
dollar paid by the consumer and the
grower gets but one third, there is
something wrong somewhere. This
wrong works both ways-the grower is
wronged and the consumer is wronged.
Two wrongs can never make one
right. How to remedy these wrongs
is the great problem before the people
and it must be worked out so as to

shorten the distance, or what is the
same thing-we must shorten the
expense between the grower and the
consumer. The very rich people the
world over are the non producers;
they are described in the Holy Writ
as ''those who buy and sell and get
gain. This middle class cannot be
dispensed with but there is no reason
or necessity that they should get the

more and the consumer pay less. The
burden of this change must rest on
the producers. They must organize
and see to it that their products go
by more direct route. If some
agreement could have been made the
past fall by which Mr.. Francis could
have sent his apples direct to the
retailer in Fremont at rs cents per
box and the consumer could have
bought them at S1.0O per box, both
ends Of the transaction would have
been greatly benefited. Work up

on this matter in another issue. In

BOX VS.. DARRELL

1t is we'll known to most OF our
readers that The Ranch, through it's
Horticulture Depar tment, has been a
stanch defender of the apple box.
Barrels are used in the east and we
have no complaint 10 make, but for
the apple growers of the Pacific coast
we have commended for the box and
for the "standard box" upon which
we have agreed after mature delibera
ton. We believed that we had won
our fight and believe so yet. 1t is
ther efore With no little surprise that
we find an apple buyer from Chicago
and an apple dealer in North Yakima
have agreed in trying to relegate the
apple box to the "has beens' and to
install the general use of the apple
barrel among the apple growers and
apple shippers of the Northwest. A
few quotations will set this matter
before our readers:
An apple buyer from Chicago, Ed.
& Carter Co., of Chicago, was recently
reported by North Yakima paper as
saving: GAS have said before and
nobody has believed me, that not with
the next crop, but with the next but
one, the growers in this valley will be
packing apples in barrels. 1, or any
other man, would rather purchase Il
barrel than a box, for the simple
reason that by removing stave from
the side the contents of the entire
package can be examined without the
troublesome necessity of unwrapping
each apple, and you have the most
potent causes for adopting such a
pack"
Fred Thompson, president of the
Thompson Fruit Company, of North
Yakima, is quoted in the same paper
saying: Paulhan may have fits,
but he's not crazy when he argues in
favor of barrels for the coming system
of packing the Yakima apple crop"
Mr.. Thompson argues in favor of the
barrel on the score of the large saving
in expense. Some of his statements
along this line are open to serious
objection. His statement as to the
cost of barrels compared to the cost
of boxas is not correct. The idea that

CARELESS WRITER'S
Dead Letter Office Receives About
100000 Letters Every
Year.

The honesty of our postal service is
worth talking about, and it is a sub
ject of which everybody ought to be
proud, writes William E. Curtis.
During the last fiscal year. without
including the unknown values of
registered letters and packages, the
postal employees of our government
handled more than billion dollars in
cash, and yet the total loss by fraud,
by theft, by fire and all other causes
was only $38, $50. 1 do not believe
any other business is handled so care
fully and SO honestly. notwithstand-
ing the carelessness of the public. The
dead letter Office receives between
13, 600. 900 and IA, 900, 900 letters every
year, which either bear an incorrect
or insufficient address, or are left in
the street letter boxes without postage
stamps The amount of money found
in these letters varies from $35, 600 to
$40 600 year, and it is increasing
annually.
Taking into consideration the in
crease in population the carelessness
of the letter writing public is growing
rapidly. During the last 10 year the
number of dead letters has more than
doubled, while the por ulation has not
increased more than 10 per cent, and
the amount of money found in dead
letters was three times as great as it
was 10 years ago. Notwithstanding
all our public schools, colleges and
universities and our boasted advance
in civilization, the public grows more
and more careless in its correspondence
and the largest number of dead letters
are those which are incorrectly ad-
dressed

TWO GOOD BILLS.

In the House at Trenton yesterday,
Assemblyman Whyte, of Camden. in
troduced two bills of marked i'm
portance to boards of freeholders, and
the financial affairs of the several
counties. One provides that the
finance committees of the boards shall
have some supervision over the bills
approved by the County Judge for the
detection and prosecution of crime.
Under existing circumstances the
financial officers of the boards now
have no means of knowing what to
expect from such expenditures and
can make no previous calculations in
the annual budgets. All they have to
do is to pay the bills as they appear.
Under the measure the Judge will
give hearings to the finance committees
before approving such bills. The other
Whyte measure provides that no ad-
ditional clerical help may be engaged
by the sheriff, surrogate or county
clerk except on the approval of the
finance committee of the board of free
holders, which is responsible for the
allotment of funds for the expenses of
those departments in the annual
budget and later additions to the
forces are apt to lead to embarrass-
ment.

REPORTS ARE
D|scOURAG|NG

From what can be learned from those
who are endeavoring to SECURE sub
scriptions sufficient to build trolley
road from Millville to Port Norris, the
outlook is most discouraging.
Those who have carefully studied
the situation cannot see how it is
possible for such line to be made a
paying venture, and there seems no
desire upon the part of individuals to
invest their money in the scheme. It is
pointed out that the travel over such a
line at its best would not be large
and it would be far from continuous
1t may be that the MillvilIe banks
may be interested in the scheme and
buy bonds to some considerable
amount, but the individual subscrip-
tions promise very few.
