VALUE OF WIRELESS SHOWN.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The value of
wireless has been demonstrated, ac-

month were eluipped with wireless,
whereas the vessels which had wire

BLAME MARKETING METHODS
Fruit Grower Finds He Is Not Getting
Large Enough Share OF Con-
sumer's Dollar.

George c. Gaze OF Fenville has been
doing a little investigating along
original lines in the hopes OF discov-
ering why the farmer does not get
larger share of the consumers dollar
than 35 cents. When he packed his
apples last fall he put postal cards
addressed TO himself in the center of
some OF the barrels along with this
notice: When you find me please
state how much you gave for this bar
rel OF apples. | sold them for s1.65.
How did they keep? Give location"
One of the cards came back from
Harrodsburg, Mercer county, KY,
with the following message upon It:
Il gave 1915 per barrel for two bar
rels T. o. b. cars, Louisville, Ky. The
apples are fine and in good condi-
ton"
Mr.. Gaze now knows that he did
little better than the average, provic-
ing the Kentucky man was con.
sumer. because $1.65. the orchard
price OF the apples. is exactly a. per
cent. OF 1915, the selling price. II.
however the Harrodsburg man is =
grocer and he retailed the apples out
by the peck, the final selling price was
considerably above s375, and Mr..
Gaze would then get less than 35 per
cent. OF what the ultimate consumer
paid.
The significance OF the above expe-
rience is that the farmers. and par
ticularly the fruit growers. have come
TO the conclusion that more
economical marketing system than
has prevailed in the past, must be
worked out for the future. The west
ern Michigan fruit growers are get
ting information preparatory to doing
something that will give them bigger
returns for their efforts.

The region Is favorable to both the
sour and the sweet cherry. Many
different varieties are grown, but the
varieties that are the most popular
are the Early Richmond. Late Duke,
Montmorency and English Morello.
The favorites among the sweet varie-
ties are the Black Tartarian, Windsor,
Napoleon Bigarreau. Smiths Bigar-
reau and Northport Black. This latter
is variety that has been developed
at Northport on the farm OF c. A.
Nelson. II resembles the Windsor,
but has smaller stone and is flrmer,
hence better shipper. This cherry
is being set out in many parts Of the
section, the scions coming from the
original tree In Mr.. Nelson's orchard.
The profits from cherry growing
have been great in the immediate
past and will be much greater in the
early future.
A Windsor tree in the Miles Gil
more Old Mission orchard, in 1912
produced IA cases that sold for $42.
The Royal Ann tree in the w. p. Gray
orchard has produced Is cases in 4

600 crates from 100 Montmorency
trees covering one acre of ground
These brought him 1920 at the boat

HELP FOR THE MoRTGAGER
Satisfactory Method Of Borrowing
Money Which is Resorted To by
Swiss Farmers.

Swiss farmers find IL comparative
ly easy to borrow money of the mort
gage banks which exist in many OF
the cantons, Farm and Home remarks.
The chief advantage secured by the
farmer in placing mortgage with the
cantonal or state mortgage banks 10
that he escapes the necessity of re-
paying the principal OF his mortgage
in single payment, and he is practi-
cally relieved from the danger OF
foreclosure.
Tn interest rate charged by the
cantonal mortgage banks is about the
me as that collected by other banks.
For instance. farmer wishes TO raise
a loan of $4,000 on his property. He
secures the money form the cantonal
bank as Az per cent. He could prob
ably do as well for himself If he went
TO the private sources, but here is
where the cantonal banks help him
out If he went TO private bank to
borrow money at Az per cent. for a
stated number Of years he would be
required to pay that bank his interest
end OF the term.
Now, with the cantonal bank he is
required each year, In addition to his
AZ per cent, to pay one per cent
as amortization. After the first pay
ment he owes the bank $4,000 less
one per cent. Naturally, the second
year he must pay interest, not on the
$4,000, but on $4,000. However, his
actual payment is still 5i2 per cent OF
$4,000. Each year, however. a
large portion of the 5A per cent. goes
TO liquidate the loan. In this way
the farmer ultimately pays back the
entire loan without having been bur-
dened with one big payment in any
year, as he ordinarily would have
been. Only in very rare cases are the
loans made by these mortgage banks
ON farm properties foreclosed.
