The Young Women's Christian
Association of Chicago has made a
decision Upon a very delicate ques-
tion, and incidentally set a very
large proportion OF the fair sex by
the eass. by declaring that woman
Is no longer a young woman after
she is twenty-five, and no women
who have passed that age shall be
entitled to the privileges Of the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton home in that city. What's to be
done about this? The beauty doc
tors art may avail to make a woman
look less than twenty-five when she
is years older, but unless the patient
be dishonest enough to perjure her
self to the extent OF asserting that
she is under that age, she must not
seek the benefits of the Young
Women's Christian Association in
Chicago. The French say that a
woman is as young as she looks, but
it takes a birth certificate to con-
vince Chicago.

in all markets, ruled after eliminat-
ing the gambling feature. which
often steal in primarily, by the laws
of supply and demand, and it is
therefore hard to overcrowd any one
given market, for, as the product
does not deteriorate. Il can be stored
or sold in another market. With
perishable commodities such a. our
truck this is not the case. Only
within a limited area can we divert
to advantage from original d~estina-
ton, for our expenses are increasing
and our goods deteriorating with
each transfer, and every delay.
Supply is about the only legiti-
mate controlling factor that should
affect our prices. When the demand
for anything is in excess of the
supply, good prices will prevail.
When the supply exceeds demand.
then we will have low prices and
poor markets. Then as we are the
only producers of certain vegetables
or nearly so. at the time of the year
when we are producing, the supply
and control of the supply is here in
South Texas and the demand is in
those markets outside of our immed-
late territory. under existing devel-
oped marketing arrangements we do
not reach the consumer our legiti-
mate demand, though | hope the day
will come when we do, and am in
clined to think that it will sooner
than some of US expect. The visible
demand that we reach is the broker
and commission mar who cater TO
the consumer and whose very exist
ence in business depends upon his
supplying that demand. AS he is
not a producer he must come to the
producer for it or the producer must
go to him.

BUSINESS INTERESTS AND RAIL
ROAD VITALITY CONCERNED, TOO

A subject which is Of vital inter
est, not only to every farmer, but
also to every business man of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley il that dis
cussed in a paper entitled Cash on
Track Sales" by Lindsay Waters
secretary Of the Rio Grande and Gulf
Coast Growers Association, pub
lished in today Herald.
Probably no Valley readers Of the
Herald will need to be told that the
market problem is one of the most
serious which the entire Valley ha-
to conquer. All realize that if, after
months of hard work and heavy eX-
pense, the farmers of the Valley car
not market their crops profix
not only must they lose heayi
every business interest Of this sec
ton must suffer likeNlse. Thus the
struggle in WHICH our farm friends
are fghting@r their very existence
is n Which concerns every person
whsee interests lie here.
To none does this apply ore APP
propriately than to the railroad,
whose interest in the successful mar
keting of the farmers products is
every whit as great as that of the
business man and OF the farmer him.
self. If the farmers fail to realize
on their crops, the railroads ton
mage is bound to be very materially
affected, for when business suffers
and the outlook Is poor, all lines cut
down on orders and the railroads
freight ears are idle. Development
OF all kind is checked, too, when the
farms prove unremuneratiye, and no
interest is more sensitive to such a
condition than is the railroad.
Therefore, the farmers should be
aided in their struggle with the mar
ket problem by both the business
men and the railroads. There
should be some sort of organization
in which these three great and in
terdependent interests-the farmers,
the business men and the railroad
should cooperate. which would I'M
dertake 10 settle the market prob
lem once for all for the farmers.
Mr.. Waters ideas sound practical,
and possibly may offer the correct
solution for the problem. But it
would appear necessary for the pro-
Queer in some way to get in touch
with the would-be buyers-or, in
others words, to find the man with
the cash, before the cash on track
transaction could be effected. And
then, in the event. Of the mar and
the cash not Undertaking., there
should be some other means of a
ing the crops.

Following is the paper which vas
read Saturday before the Browns

say Waters, secretary Of the Rio

ISOLATION.
Mr.. Davis and gentlemen of the
South Texas Truck Growers Asso-
citation: am present today in re-
Spouse to the cordial invitation of
this association to, in the words of
that invitation, give you a talk on f..
o. b. consignments VS.. consignment
sales. Before taking up my subject
! wish to say that it affords me the
greatest pleasure to be with you gen.
tlemen. You who represent a truck
industry which without a doubt has
more money annually invested in its
special crop than any other one vege-
table in South Texas, and if that in
itself was not sufficient reason for
my being here the keen interest that
| have taken for the past five years
in the marketing Of the highly per-
ishablestruck crops Of this extreme
southern portion OF our great CONT
nent would be SO.
There are many men you might
have invited with much greater eX-
perience than ] have. but none. | be-
lieve, who has entered into, and does
enter into. this all absorbing and
most vital problem with greater in
terest than | do. The great value of
our crops produced at a time of the
year when with the exception of
Florida and possibly a portion of
e5uthern California the res of our
American soil and farms is to all in
tents and purposes non-productive,
places us in a favored position es-
sentially our own if we are strong
enough to conserve and hold that
position.
The ever increasing cost Of our
lands, going up by leaps and bounds
before the incoming tide of North
ern, Eastern and Western men. in
creasing 50 rapidly that where land
in the brush five years ago could
be bought for $4,000 and even less
per acre is now selling rapidly at
$50 to 5000 makes it a case OF
literal self-preservation that the pro-
.duce from those lands be sold profit
ably, not in spots or in isolated
places but as a whole. The exper-
fence of recent years and perhaps
the drifting in with new men Of
new ideas has created in many
minds the doubt whether past mar
keting systems valuable as they have
heen. and are. are yet the best that
could be used.
Mr.. President. in consigning me

nized my desire 10 be Of service TO

New York PAYS High. But Who
Gets the Money?

UeUS the MUHcy
Figures compiled in New York
city a year or two ago demonstrated
that on the following three leading
vegetables, cabbage. potatoes and
onions, for every dollar the farmer
got the consumer paid in the follow
ing proportion: cabbage 6 or Z to
one. potatoes 4 or ) to one. onions
8 or 9 TO one The transportation
companies share varied according to
haul but eaualled from 1-2 to 3-4 of
one. leaving the vast difference be-
tween the middleman and retailer,
and in practically all these ship
ments the producer getting the
small/t share, was paying all the
freight and assuming all the risk.
In other words, the grower with
his all invested capital. labor. brains,
to get from - IL to % per cent of
the amount his truck sells for must
pack, crate it and haul to the depot
and forward IT, with the certainty
that the freight, icing and commits
sion will come out before he can get
a cent.
In August or September. he goes,
we will cay, to a Pennsylvania or
New York seed house to get his seed
for which he must pay cash and as
sumo liability when ii is delivered
to the transportation company with
no guarantee as to its quality, plant
it. irrigate it. with labor and water
for which he must pay cash, or some
one hold a lien on that he must pay,
harvest the same for cash, pay for
his packages either with cash or a
first lien on the proceeds, haul same
to the depot and get what?-A bill
of lading from the railroad company
that states he has shipped so much
at owners risk or owners load and
count. and the certainty that, If
not delivered on time and in good
condition, the consignee will refuse
II. and il he does not refuse 1t, will
pay the shipper after he has gotten
his money and taken out his share
more or less, sooner or later; and
that IL no. in good condition and the
fault of the railroad company that
the said railroad company will do
all in its power to evade liability.
This is a dark picture. gentle
men, but II Is a rue n and scores
of disappointed. aye, almost heart
broken, discouraged growers are
looking on cash sales as the only
salvation. In considering this ques-
ton. besides our unique producing
season. we must weigh carefully our
geographical situation Is to the
marke.s. We are the furtherest
away it is practically pos ible to
get. with the consequent delay and
risk in transit. We are some of MS
on lines that have 10 competitors
and give Indifferent service. We
are farming where expenses are high
and comforts few. We are entitled
to the results and not the mar in
luxury who handles our crops
In the consideration OF this sub
ject we must always remember that
we are dealing entirely with more

OF them highly perishahle and there

that is applicable to staple crops
such as grain and cotton is not to
be safely applied here. Staples have
