GOOD PRICES FOR POTATOES
Money by Carefully Preparing
Tuber for Market.

Potato growers in Northern Wiscon-
sin and Michigan who cater to the
most lucrative trade have been trying
the experiment of washing their
choicest potatoes and packing them in
boxes. each potato being carefully
wrapped in paper, after the manner in
which western orange growers ship

and expense were worth while is indi-

potatoes worthy of this de luxe pre-

sound stock, fair size. good shape and

best seed potatoes. for il a man

NOVA SCOTIA FRUIT GROWERS
Act Passed by Dominion Parliament
Permitting Organization Of Uni
ted Fruit Companies.

'By JAMES w. RAGSDALE, Consul
Genera Halifax)
ABOUT three years ago the fruit
growers of Nova Scotia fourd that
they were hampered in many ways in
disposing of their crops. Up to that
time all shipments to Europe were
made through agents, commission
merchants. and spectators here, who
In turn consigned to dealers in London
and Liverpool. In this way the ex-
penses far exceeded the profits.
Again, there was no system exercised
In sorting or packing, consequently
much inferior fruit found it's way
70 the European markets. resulting
In further loss and discredit.
To overcome these difficulties, CO.
operative associations were organized
at the towns of Berwick. Wolfville and
Kingston, but without success. Last
year there was a combination of grow
ers under a central association with
out cooperative powers that did fairly
well, handling some 100000 barrels.
but the form OF this association did
not afford the relief hoped for.
To remedy the defect a special act
was passed by the Dominion parlia-
ment permitting the organization Of
what is now known as the United
Fruit Companies UtdD. with
capitalization of $1,000, since in
creased to s11 900, the par value of the
shares being $50 each. Under the
rule each member must have one
share and not more than five.
The fruit of each member IS gath
cred b. itself and after sorting is
taken to the warehouses of the asso-
citation, of which there are five. Here
the fruit is re-sorted and properly
packed under the direct supervision
of the general manager, and the dis
carded fruit is taken away by the
grower and consigned to the drier or
vinegar factories. For the services of
packing the grower is charged five
cents per barrel. In this way all fruit
exported will be of the highest stan
dard and will command the highest
prices. In packing, color as well as
size and quality, is strictly observed.
as the European market demands fruit
OF high quality only 1t is for this
reason that the Rhode Island Greening
and other apples of like color are in
little demand on the continent. All
the fruit of the members is shipped
by the association. Some 100000 bar
rels Of fruit were handled in 1912.
The organization aims not only to
handle the fruit of its members, but
also to assist them in the purchase of
their principal supplies. such as bar
rels. boxes, farming implements, Irvine.
seed. nursery stock, fertilizers. and in
fact all the necessary appliances for
fruit growing. Last year growers
were compelled to pay very high
prices for barrels, as much as 40 cents
per- barrel in some instances. This
year the members are paying 90 to %
cents for barrels and about 16 cents
for bushel boxes Very few boxes are
used. Later the association expects
to make its own barrels and boxes.

nor had some more to say today about
the lend seat hog in a letter to a

NAL.
l thank you for your letter about
the 'end of the seat hog as you call
him, ~ he wrote. "You reason out that
if he went into the other end Of the
seat he would make the same trouble
when he started to get off, as he would
have to pass in front of everybody
else. That is something that cannot be
remedicd. But because we cannot do
away with the trouble caused by get
ting out is no reason why he should not
regulate the getting in. In that way
we reduce the annoyance.
The mayor has brought the latter to
the attention Of the board of aldermen
and it is probable an ordinance will be
passed to cover the matter.
