The cranberry growers in the several
states are organized into exchanges which
take over the crops and crate and store
them IN big warehouses. to be doled out
with view to maintaining prices agreed
upon. But the present crop far exceeds
American consumption and the problem

to the food value OF the berry. The Gran
berry has made no inroads abroad. al
though It has been abundantly touted.
The indications are tina. New Jerseys
crop may be 100000 bushels. Men, wo-
men and children are working hard to
gather It before cold weather sets in
Tie Jersey crop averages 30 per cent
larger than last year. wisconsin's three
times as large and Massachusetts 20 per
cent
The Cape Cod berries. the early black
variety. were the first to show in the
II arkets. They must be used up before
Christmas or. as the growers say. they
will "go down to mush." The Jersey
berries will keep until March without
Boftening. The early berries brought $3.50
a barrel. being q less than early prices
one year ago. due to a larger crop.
In the south the cranberry Is known
mostly by reputation, and on that repu-
tation. with berries properly distributed
through commission houses and touted,
the growers hope to market the entire
crop before spring.
The cranberry selling organization is
formed on the lines OF the California
fruit growers exchanges. Inspectors

Most large growers now have their own

From laborer in the construction

tenn is the story of Alferd II. Smith.
new president of the New York Cen
trail railroad. He is the third in sue
cession of New York Central presi-
dents to rise from the lowest grade to
the highest. All three of these men
come from the Lake Shore and Michi-
gan Southern railroad. First of the
trio was William II. Newman, who
was succeeded by William G. Brown,
who. in turn, has retired.
When a boy of fourteen young Smith
went to work as a messenger in the
Lake Shore offices at Cleveland. After
that he worked in the purchasing
agents office; but, having a liking for
the mechanical branches of railroad
ing he resigned his clerkship and took
job in one of the construction gangs.
He worked as a laborer for several
years, becoming general foreman of
construction work. In 1890 Mr.. Smith
was made superintendent of the Kala-
maZoo division and eleven years later
had reached the position Of general
superintendent of the Lake Shore. A
year later he was transferred to the
New York Central system as general
superintendent and in 1906 was made
vice president and general manager.
Last March Mr.. Smith became senior
vice president of the New York Cen
trail lines. He is also president Of
