The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-07-01
DISTRIBUTION OF FRUITS.

1t is a common saying that when a
grower has raised good crop of fruit
his work is but half done. The other
half is the selling of it. Sometimes
buyers come to the orchard and buy
for so much a box or barrel delivered
at the shipping station. This works
very we'll when the crop is light for
then competition Is keen and prices
rule high. But when the crop is large
and general through the whole coun-
try, then this selling at home is very
unsatisfactory for prices will rule so
low that the margin OF profit Is
obliterated. No one wants to raise
fruit for the fun of it. Ii there Is no
profit in the business there is no fun
in the business either.
What is the remedy for this state or
things? Before we can answer this
vital question there is one phase OF
fruit selling We must understand.
There are always places in this coun-
try and in foreign countries where
orr fruit is needed and where good
prices will be paid for our surplus
fruit if it is delivered there in good
condition. This applies to years OF
scarcity as we'll as to years of plenty.
Let me give an illustration or two.
NV son was introduced to lady IN
Toppenish, then our shipping station
who, when she heard the name, re-
marked that she had bought the tall
before, a box of peaches with that
name on it for which she paid S3.OO!
NV son informed her that we had sold
that box of peaches for 80 cents. VI

EDITED BY f. WALDEN.

course we received a good price for
that box of peaches. The lesson is
that here was place where our fruit
was badly needed. Another illustra-
ton is this: A few years ago K. T.
Stark OF the firm OF Stark Bros,
Nurserymen of Louisiana, Missouri
and j. M. Irwin, editor of the Fruit
Grower, st. Joseph. Missouri. made
a trip through the Pacific Northwest
examining the fruit growing sections.
They honored the writer by visiting
his fruit ranch in the Yakima valley.
We we're in the midst Of our peach
harvest when they visited us and
were delighted with our large alberta
peaches. We presented them with a
box of Elbertas containing just 80
peaches. Some two or three weeks
after Mr.. Stark wrote me letter from
some point in Montana and informed
me that they tried to get peaches
there but found only small 1nslped
peaches for which they had to pay
price about twice as much as that for
which we had been selling our fine
Elbertas. The object he had in view
was to impress on us the fact that to
get the best price for our peaches we
must reach out to such places as he
found in Montana.
One other illustration will not De
out of place: A few years ago y. II.
Hale, the "Peach King OF America ="
worte an article for one of the Eastern
farm papers, calling attention to the
fact that during the peach season
that year peaches piled up in some OF
the large cities along the Atlantic
Coast to such an extent that the bot
tom went out of the prices and many
car loads sold at ruinous rates. While
this was taking place in the great
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-07-01

in many smaller cities and towns
there was dearth of peaches and
prices we're high. Many more
illustrations could be given all going
to show that while fruits may be a
drug at home and in the markets OF
the large cities, there are many places
in smaller towns and in large areas of
the farming sections where the people
are hungering for fruit and will pay
good prices for it, if it is only brought
within their reach. Therefore the
solution of the question, how can we
remedy the low prices sometimes pre-
vaiIing al home and in the centers OF
trade, is the proper distribution OF
our fruits. We must remember the
story about Mahomet and the noun
tain. When be commanded the
mountain to come to him and it stood
still, then he said, ''Mahomet can go
to the mountain" and he did. Ii
people who need our fruit will not or
can not come to our farms for it, we
must take it to them.
Having seen the Importance, even
the necessity. for the distribution OF
our fruits does not clear away all the
difficulties, for Immediately we are
confronted by the question: How
shall this distribution be made? The
individual grower in most cases can
not attend to this phase of the matter.
The places where his fruit is most
needed may be several hundreds OF
miles away and in not few cases
NAV be thousands of miles away, even
across the ocean. In many cases as
sociations are formed and competent
men are employed to look after the
destitute fields and the sending of the
fruit to such localities. This is a
very good way to solve this problem
OF distribution but in doing this, one
point must be carefully guarded and
that is to see to it that the growers
have a controlling influence in these
associations. l make no Cry against
middlemen as such they are necessary
and perform a work that some one
must attend to but they must not be
allowed to dictate to both the grower
and the consumer. | like the middle
men and have found many of them to
be honorable men. They have handl-
ed many thousands Of dollars worth
OF my fruit. But we must be dis
eliminating or we may get skinned.
The field is an inviting one for rogues
and scamps. Whenever you get cir
culars from commission man offer
ing to handle your fruit at two per
cent, you may know that in order to
live he must steal from you or some
one else. Such sharks will rot stay
long in the business for they will soon
be found out and honest people will
let them alone severely. L repeat the
statement that the growers must have
a controlling influence in the fruit
growers associations.
In lieu of an association of growers
such as the one described above, there
may be some reliable firm established
in the business that can take the
growers fruit and send it where it is
needed. Such a firm can keep men
in the field looking up the locations

you can pedigree COW by examln-

made since the capture of the Nc

eonsummated last night, when
George Bridge was locked up on a
charge Of being suspicious char

Bridges was arrested at Monessen,

suit case, he at first refused TO tell
anything about himself. He would
only say that man gave me the
suit case at the lower end of town.
There were " sticks Of dynamite,
several rolls of fuses and two quarts
of whisky in the suit case.
Under continuous pressure from

FIRE AT JONESBORO
Grand Leader Prey to Morning
FIames-Ioss $4,000, Covered
by Insurance.

Jonesboro, Dec. 2S.-The Grand
Leader. a merchandise store owned
by the r. H. Meyer Company, was
almost totally destroyed by fire
here this morning, the grocery
store of Max Meyer being badly
damaged by water. The loss Is
estimated at $4,000, covered by
insurance.
The fire originated in a fire be-
tween the dry goods and hosiery
departments of the Grand Leader
and gained considerable headway
before an alarm was turned IN. A
panic ensued among the statesmen
and saleswomen; young women
women tainted and were carried
out of the building. However no
one was seriously injured.
Only the effective work OF the
fire department prevented the
blaze from spreading.
