were charging. The freight on the car
referred to was more than $1,000. and

II was found that fruits shipped in or
binary box cars arrived at their des-
tinaticn in more or less over-ripe con-
dition. and in order to overcome this
condition it was found necessary to
adopt some other method. and the re-
frigerator car was brought into service.
At that time, however, transportation
companies could only furnish cars that
had been used for transporting meat
from the east to California. with these
cars they We're then able to ship the

had of marketing their fruit was by

UNIFORM METHODS.
AT that time also we had another Sc
rious difficulty to contend with. which
was the lack OF confidence between the

had none. decentralization existed every

LOADING OF CARS.
The loading of cars Is not thing
that should be passed over lightly, as
it has an important bearing on getting
the fruit into market in good condi-
ton. Cars should be loaded by eH-
pericnced car leaders. who undef'-
stand the method of loading by tiers.
and spacing the fruit so as to insure 4
propcr circulation of cold air around
the boxes. The car leaders, experience
enables him to properly tier the fruit
so that It will come out even without
overlooking or loading too high. yet
carrying the necessary minimum car
load weight. Strips Of wood are used
to relieve the weight of the fruit
from pressing on the lower packages,
and to insure a good circulation. as
well as to prevent the load from
shifting. In addition to stripping. cars
should be properly braced, Just rs
evenly and securely as Is possible. as

BETTER SERVICE.
The question of service has a very
important bearing on the condition in
which fruit arrives in the markets, and
undoubtedly the transportation COM
panies appreciate that fact realizing
that the better the service the greater
vii! be their tonnage and revenue.
They have therefore inauguratcd sys-
TEN for the handling of fruit trains
which enables them to keep in daily
touch with the movement. This system
Is so perfect that they can tell with
In n few hours the location OF any car
containing fruit moving over their rails.
We are enjoying regular and depend
able service, so that our fruit IS sold
in Chicago on the morning OF the
eighth day, in New York the morning OF
the eleventh day. in Boston the morn
ing of the twelfth day, other eastern
points enjoying corrcspondingly the
same service. Think what that means
compared with the service given only
u few years back when 1t was very ir-
regular and indispensable, so that we
could not arrange our shipments so
they would reach any particular mar
lSet on Il certain day. Today, however.
it is just the reverse, and We still have
hopes of further Improvements, nearly
all of which have been accomplished In
recent years since the establishment of
the distributing agency.
The marketing agency which | have

ing of all tho principal shippers and
growers, and its object is to widen the
distribution OF fruit, to build up new

Ut is now come 40 years since the
first shipment of deciduOus fruit
was made to the eastern states, and
many ups and downs have occurred
during that time, making 1t necessary
for the grower ana shipper to make

der to take care of the enormous in
crease in the production of fruit, SO as
to bring about profitable results to all
interested.
At the commencement 1t was not
known what varieties Of fruits were
going to be OF the greatest commercial
value, therefore the early shipments
were merely an experiment. and it can
be truly said that when the fruit was
first planted 1t was not with the idea
of shipping to eastern points, az well
as to foreign ports, but that it would
be for purely local consumption. With
the rapid increase in the production.
1t was found necessary to go away
from home and find markets elsewhere
To take care of the steadily increasing
output.
The Bartlett pear was the first va
riety of fruit that was ever sent to an
eastern market. 1t was packed in the
crudest manner without wrapping or

this particular car the shipper person

to see that the fruit was properly cared

time approximately 90 days for car
to travel via freight train service to
Chicago: and while tho fruit did not
arrive in perfect condition. on account
of the novelty 1t brought cxtr4ordin-
