Marketing OF FARM CROPS
Independent Action on Part Of Farmer
Means Wide Variation In Types
Of Packages and Grades.

(By PROF. l. c. CoRBETT. Horticul-
turist United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The system of independent action.
so far as 1t applies to the marketing
of vegetable crops, is open to the fol-
lowing criticism:
Independent action means wide va
ration in types of packages, as Is
exemplified in our markets at the
present time.
Packages of all sizes and descrip-
lions are received in the markets from
various districts, SO that a quotation
on a basket, hamper, or container in
one market may mean little in an.
other section.
The packing of the product is done
according to the ideas of the individ.
ual directing the work: the grades are
founded upon his personal notion of
what constitutes q first, second. or
third grade, Judged by the product he
himself handles and not by any mar.
ket standard.
Shipments are, for the most part.
by local freight or express. Some
times a grower is able to load few
cars from his field. but this is the ex-
ception rather than the rule. The re-
suit is that any brand which he may
adopt appears in the market at un-
certain intervals, remains but a short
time, and disappears until the sue
ceeding year. It Is very difficult un-
der such conditions to build up rep
utation for ones product and to es-
tablish a standing for q brand or
style Of package which will serve to
assist in the sale of the crop the fol-
lowing year.

marketed there must be some los

marketed there must be some loss.
This often totals higher than the
farmer realizes. For instance, accord
ing to the departments market spe-
cialists, the loss on such COMMODITIES
as strawberries. peaches and grapes
sometimes amounts to 80 or 40 per
cent before they reach the hands of
the retail trade. Losses due to spoil
ing may be the result of the shippers
sending overripe or diseased fruit. or
failing to give proper attention to
packing, to loading. or to bracing the
packages in the car. Sometimes the
railroad is at fault. Delay in transit.
improper ventilation or refrigeration.
or unnecessarily rough handling of
cars may contribute to rapid deteriora-
ton of the shipment on arrival.
The lack of proper refrigeration IA
cilities at distributing centers is a
cause of much loss. When produce
moves slowly, there is often much
spoilage before complete sales can be
made. Rough handling during unload
ing or carting is another important
cause of loss. AS a matter of fact.
the opportunities for losses due to the
spelling of commodities are SO mani
fold that it is impossible to enter into
a complete discussion of them.
1t is always well to bear in mind
the really serious side of losses and
wastes. The spelling of a dozen can
taloupes, a basket of grapes, or a
crate of strawberries represents an
absolute loss to the community. No
benefit accrues to producer, distribu-
tor, or consumer from such a condi-
ton. The loss occurring at this point
must be borne by both producer and
consumer, and in great many cases
the distributor must bear his part of
the burden. The departments spe-
cialists think in many cases losses
and wastes are entirely too heavy q
tax on food distribution and that the
elimination of unnecessary wastes
would do as much toward effecting
permanent, substantial economies in
marketing and distribution as any re-
adjustment of present marketing
methods could do.
Losses Can Be Avoided.
The fact that a large percentage Of
these losses can be avoided by proper
grading, packing, and shipping. to-

It is much better for the beginner
