THE APPLE CROP.
I'VE desire to call attention to the I'M
usual situation which now exists with
respect to apples.
The apple crop for the year 1914 is one
of the largest in the history of the in
dustry.
The outlet for apples, however, is this
year smaller than usual. The export to
Germany is absolutely shut off, and the
sending of apples to England Is very
greatly curtailed, In former years, the
demand for apples in European countries
has influenced the price. In spite OF the
large crop and the restricted outlet,
proximately the same prices as last
year-pr.ces do not seem justified by the
low prices for which wholesalers are
compelled TO sell the apples, and the COM
paratively small amount realized by the
apple grower.
THE retail dealer can now buy No. 1
apples in Boston from sl.75 to SOS q
barrel eve mean No. | apples, as de-
fined by the United states and Maine
laws)
There are at least ten pecks OF sale
able apples In a barrel. and It would
seem that by selling them to the con-
sumner at CSC a peck, he would realize a
good. reasonable profit. At this price
the domestic demand for apples ought
to increase greatly-perhaps even enough
TO offset the decreased foreign demand
resulting from the war,
Apples costing the retail dealer 500
a barrel means only small return to
the producer. for there are certain fixed
charges which must be met in connec-
ton with marketing the apples.
THE cost of picking Is from lSc to 25c
and the cost OF the barrel itself from 36c
to 42e the cost Of packing is about 25c
or Soc delivery to the car would on the
average cost about loc; the freight to
Boston will average about &c; the whole
saler's commission about zoe; the cost Of
carriage about &c, and the iohbers profit
about 25c. 1t may therefore be seen that
the return to the producers for MOL APP
pies, at present prices. is less than soc
per barrel. This return is much lower
than usual. and ought to make 1t plain
to the producer that he connot afford
to pack other than Mol apples,
"If the net return to the producer for
the best fruit is so small, 1t must be evil
dent that the amount which he would
realize after the fixed charges Of pick
ing, packing, shipping and distributors
apples are paid would on any grades ex-
ccpt tn" best b" too small to recompense
him for his labor
To sum up:
THE retailer can without injury TO
himself lower his price, and while he
may seem at first glance to lose some-
thing in large profits, he will more than
make up for this seeming loss by rea-
sonable profits on total increased sales:
"O1l' the best grade of fruit can no Of.
fered If the demand is to be stimulated.
and the best price thereby secured for
the grower
The grower must reconcile himself
to marketing only his best grade fruit
and disposing of the remainder by other
methods, and taking the price he can
get foc this best grade"
on tho basis of the foregoing state
ment of facts and conclusions drawn

What has he done in a legal
way? He was asked by the rep
resentatives of the Farmers I'm
ion to make the argument for
the Warehouse bill before the
Supreme court. The question
was of prime Importance to the
farmers, because If the State
could build warehouses and the
farmers could store their cotton
In them and get a receipt on
which the money could be gotten
and the rates were low, it would
enable the farmers to hold their
cotton in time of panic until the
price should rise.
He is lawyer who believes
constitutions to be practical and
took the position before the
court that the State had the
power to relieve and protect it's
citizens from finaLcial oppres-
sion, just as it would have the
right TO protect them from mill
tary oppression. The Court a.
greed with him and practically
adopted his brief. but held that
two unnecessary provisions in
the bill were in violation of the
constitution, and the bill would
have to be so drawn as to leave
them out to be effective. But
THE RIGHT OF THE STATE
TO WAREHOUSE IT'S FARM
ERS' COTTON WAS ESTAB-
LISHED in this case: and when
ever they make up their minds
to have it done it can be done.
He did this work purely for
the good of the cause. without
fee or reward. If he was in
Congress wouldn't he be on the
same side. fighting the cotton
speculation in New York? Give
him a chance and if he doesn't
measure up throw him out.

Independence Day carries us
backward to the time when
America became the scene of a
bloody conflict. The tiger
strife" with the red man was
scarcely passed when the gauge
of battle was thrown down be-
fore the British army in the
streets of Boston. Then fol-
lowed the disastrous riot eleven
days afterward and the de-
struction of tea in Boston harbor
and then in succession the bat
ties of Lexington and Bunker's S
Hill. Over the grave of the
first victim was opened mighty
chapter in the worlds history.
One cannot read the graphic
descriptions on these events in
history without the stirring of
his patriotic spirit and it may
be commended as wholesome
exercise to read the opening
chapters as a preparation for the
proper observance of the Fourth
of July.

Another important sign OF i'm
hrovement is the diminished ten

heing gradually resumed, and for
eign exchange operations have now
been reopened on the Continent on
a limited scale. The New York
Stock Exchange remains closed and
may not be reopened until it is
known what the London Exchange
is likely to do. To open the New
York Exchange under existing con-

it would make New York the dump
