FOR new SERVICE
Santa Fe win Teach Track
Raising on Kaw.
Campaign in January Along
This Valley.

The Atchison, Topeka 4 Santa Fe
Railway company has been making
an inquiry into the market conditions
of the country with the view OF Ascer-
tanning the causes for the shortage OF
vegetables reported in the large cities
respondence with producers. commits
sion merchants and retail dealers
show that two causes generally are
assigned for the shortage:
First-The rapidly increasing num-
Der of consumers with a reduction In
the number of producers.
Second-The inability of the pro-
Queer who ships in small quantities
to sell his product for enough to en-
courage him in increasing his output
It is developed by the investigation
that the individual vegetable growers
who ship their stuff to the cities In
small lots generally guess on the mar
ket, as they do not have the facilities
for obtaining accurate information
Often their guess is wrong, and their
shipments so to markets that are
glutted. The result is that there Is
little or no demand for their vegeta-
bles and their returns are unsatisfac-
tory.
The inquiry develops the further
fact that wherever vegetable growers
have organized themselves into CO.
ROSo
Of marketing their product in carload
lots, the returns generally have been
satisfactory. The reason for this Is
that the heavy dealers want carload
shipments. and they send their buy
ers into territory where vegetables are
produced in large quantities.
The Santa Fee lately has encouraged
organization among farmers along its
lines in territory especially adapted to
vegetable growing. by offering a spe-
cial service for this class of traffic.
Parts of the Arkansas valley, in Col
orado, Kansas and Oklahoma, and the
Kaw valley. are regarded as high class
vegetable territory, and some demon
stration work will be done therein this
winter.
Following a campaign In Colorado.
eleven communities of truck growers
formed cooperative associations. The
Santa Fee has planned to hold a series
Of meetings in the Arkansas valley
