HANDLE THEIR OWN PRODUCT
Boston Gardeners Plan Organization
of Cooperative Growers Sell
ing Association.

II present plans do not miscarry,
Boston will soon see cooperative
vegetable growers selling association
A few days ago. a representative Of
the New England Homestead was
talking with one of the big gardeners
catering to the Boston market and
learned OF this movement. He said
that the vegetable grower is at the
mercy of dealers and commission men
He further declared that the system
Of selling vegetables which prevails In
Boston today is disgrace to reputa-
BILE farmers.
Boston gardeners take the back
seat for none. as regards getting high
yields per acre and producing extra
fine quality of produce. but they are
woefully weak when 1t comes to plac-
ing that product on the market They
literally dump their vegetables into
Boston and take whatever the dealer
sees fit to give They have no alter
native. as they are not organized to
the point Of being able to divert their
products to other markets. or to in
duce rapid consumption"
As a matter of fact. dealers keep
prices up to consumers. and. at the
same time pay the grower starvation
prices II growers had good mar
keting association. and an oversupply
were imminent. they could reduce the
price to consumers. with result Of
cleaning out the market. There are
forI growers near Boston who do a
business of over 100000 year. and
the plan is. for these men to open a
marker. handle their own product.
and perhaps take consignments from
other growers Such names as Raw
son. Hittinger. Hall and Rane are as
ISOLATED with the project The won
der Is that these bright business men
have not attended to this matter be-
fore.

Profit for Farmer.

If dealers can buy all the raw ma
tsrials from the farmers or growers
and make profit feeding lean poul-
try, lean beef cattle. lean hogs and
other unfinished stock, the producer
should be able to make good money
feeding them. There Is ordinarially
a considerable difference In the price
per pound for well feshed or fat stock
and lean stock. The farmer should
receive the increase in price due to
the fattened condition OF the stock.
The farmer should extract every dol
lar of profit out of the business.
