The peach price question is still up

1t was stated in the city Monday

had strengthened but from reports re-
ceived later in the dag this was but
a temporary coifuition. Dealers here
While of the opinion that the mark eft
would improve. admitted that to be
but feeling they had in their bones
and stated frankly that they had no
especially good reasons TO back it up
Expect Better Figures
II is the opinion of dealers. how
ever, that the size of the crop war
rants an expectation of better fig
urcs, though it is also admitted that
it is too bad that the price on FL
bCrtas was allowed to break before a
carload was ready for shipment. At
matter of fact such lGlbcrtas as have
come in to the local dealers to date
ana have been sold. have brought bet
ter than a htty-tive cent price for
the most part and not less than that,
The crop here appears to be larger
than was first anticipated and the
fruit is spoken of by the experts az
being superior. Dealers who were
about the orchards Sunday in their
automobiles reported Monday that
they had rerely seen finer peaches.
They said also that the fruit Is yet
green and undeveloped for the most
part Some picking can be done IN
every orchard Of any magnitude but
the bulk of the crop must wait for d
few days. Picking was general Mon
day. however.

HUSBANDMEN WIN
Farmers Exchange Proves Ben
efitS of Cooperation.
New Jersey Farmers Set an Example
Worthy to Be Followed In Other
States-A Business That Nets 20
Per Cent on Capital Stock.

That cooperation of husbandmen is
of inestimable benefit is well illustrated
in the annual report of the Monmouth
County On. j. Farmers Exchange,
says writer In the American Agri-
culturist The conditions will interest
farmers and truck growers throughout
the east. The report covers the year
ended Nov. 80. 1t shows that the
members made a net profit of 20 per
cent on the capital stock, the years
business totaling nearly $1,OOO,OOO.
This great volume of business was
due in large part TO the bumper crop
of potatoes in Monmouth county, ad-
mittedly the largest yield this section
has ever had.
The managers report shows that
total of 1915 cars of farm products
were shipped by the exchange during
the year. OF this number over 1000
cars were potatoes. an increase Of
1,2S3 cars over 1909. or an increase of
1853 cars over the combined shipments
of 1908 and 1909 This large shipment
of potatoes represents AL, 1913 barrels.
Other produce sold through the ex-
change during the year includes 4,O29
barrels and 16.9ST baskets of apples.
1883 barrels and 1900 baskets of
pears, 1886 barrels and 60 baskets of
cucumber pickles. 500 crates of toma-
! toes, 591 crates of berries 120 barrels
and 90 baskets Of melons, 1,617 pack
| ages of miscellaneous products. S,57S
crates or 205.SSS punches Of aspara-
/ gus, $50 crates of celery. oil crates OF
| cranberries and 1000 bales of hay and
! straw. These goods were placed in
! 1856 cities in twenty two states and in
one foreign country, In addition. the ex-
/ change sold direct TO its members 30
600 barrels of seed potatoes and han
died $4,000 bags Of fertilizer
During n part of August and Sep
/ TENDER there were several weeks when
shipments from the exchange averag-
ed fifty to sixty carloads of potatoes
alone a day On Aug. 10 eighty-tive
carloads were shipped. representing
! $4,000 as the days business. The ex-

1t is freely admitted by members
that without the exchange they could
not have received for this immense
crop the average price. S1.35. paid
them. Membership in the exchange
has increased during the year from
$50 TO 500. and the capital stock has
gone up from $31 PA to S40.370 at the
time Manager Ingling made his report
the other day. Since then ! understand
there has been further increase in
the capital TO nearly $4,000, 1t is the
! purpose of the directors TO increase
the stock TO 100000 or $4,000. after
which not more than one share will
be sold at time and then only to new
members. An innovation is TO be
made by the exchange next year
when all potatoes will be purchased
by weight Members have been warn
ed against digging potatoes faster
than they can gather up. to avoid hav-
ing them sun pricked. and they were
| advised further that it would be to
their advantage to grade their tubers.
