Fruit Market Agencies
Will Improve Service

The new fruit marketing agency de-
veloped by the United States depart
ment of agriculture win give the north
west fruit growers such service for
their marketing products as they have
never had before, said Professar C. |.
Lewis upon his return from conference
with Captain Paul Weyrauch, president
of the Fruit Growing Agency, Inc, c..
T. Moore, of the office of Markets and
Rural Organization of the United States
department OF agriculture, and G. A.
Nahstal, of the Federal bureau with
headquarters at North Yakima.
Professor Lewis. representing the O.
A. G. extension service, was called INTO
conference with these marketing special.
lists to consider the best means of putt
ing into effect the uniform contract
marketing plan and to devise the best
methods of physical handling so that the
fruit products will meet the standard
ization requirements. The conference
agreed to recommend activities by mem
bers of the fruit marketing agency al
ong four distinct lines as follows
Securing and distributing accurate re.
ports of crop conditions; securing uni.
firm system of harvesting; improve the
storage and packing service; and see
uree standardization of account sales
system.
" Heretofore" says Professor LOWS
emo exact or complete information has
been obtainable of the amount and con.
ditions of horticultural crops. Grower,
and distributors of the northwest have
been compelled to rely upon guesses fol
this information and consequently have
made many mistakes. Other and larger
agencies in other parts of the country
have been able TO get q good deal more
complete aud exact information than tho
local men and they have capitalized Tho
mistakes of the northwest growers anC
handlers. 1t is hoped that we can nov
tdevelop system of collecting and re
porting the exact conditions, thus Civ
ing us tremendous advantage that We
have not before enjoyed.
"The uniform harvesting system
should supply large quantities of fruit
of like kind and like degree of matur
! ity. Too often in the past the frui
has dribbled in in small quantities, to,
small to attract the attention OF larg,
dealers, and il has been of varying de
grees of maturity, some evergreen
some just ripe enough and some over
ripe. These conditions must be i'm
proved if the best markets are to b,
made accessible

AT Loudon Gene Dundon and his
wife heard bad news. Gene had left
his address with his brother Jim, and
now, at the end of two weeks Jim
had sent letter in order that Gene
might know whether Hattie Browns
folks were following him or not. .Bss
4 The letter read: ',s1gs5i n ~ 4 y ssss> :
Z "Dear Gene-The folks Is all well

When Gene read that Lottie had
left home, he remembered many things
about Lottie Kemple which he had
forgotten under the spell of Hattie
Browns pretty eyes and gentle voice.
Lottle had said once that the man
who tried to 'get shet" of her would
surely "dread It," and now he had
done that. He wondered what he had
to dread? After the letters arrival.
he began to hurry down the river.
He started early In the morning, and
fioated till almost dark, but as he float
ell 1t seemed as though he was the
chosen companion of misfortune. He
had lost hours OF good floating by go
ing aground on Stone Shoals. Day
after day he had been held back by
dry gales out of the south. Storms
held him, and when the drift was
running his wife torfnented his heart
with the fear that some of the hotsam
would crush the thin sides of his
shanty boat.
While Dundon lost time, Lottie
gained. She sold her pony at Wal
nut and bought canoe-a long light
plank canoe-and she drove 1t down
stream, hugging the banks when the
winds blew and seeking the swiftest
current when the day was calm. Her

neither friends nor relatives.
" Three days later she rode through
Knoxville at noon, sunbonneted. rosy
checked, with her rifle across her lap.
She had heard Of Dundon on the
riverside just above the Holson-
French Broad fork. He had gone
by the week before In a little red
shanty boat, and the girl with him
had been all smiles. Dundon was
good to her. l.Ai,y &sssie'a' = 81

now, and the people she met along
the road stared at her. She did not
smile now; her Kemple lips were set
and q little dropping.
p When night came she stopped at
some riverside farmhouse. She was
going, she told the people, to see rel-
her slster--any excuse served her. Her
only concern was to remember in the
morning the story she had told the
night before.
Once she let slip the truth. 1t was
at the Stone Shoals. She had forded
them, and on the far side she found
g white man mending hoopnets. He
was talkative, and when she asked
If shanty boaters went down the
river, he answered.:

"Yassuh! He had a scar onto his
cheek"
! "On'y three days!" Lottie cried.
'T'll get that man! Yassuh!"
"Shol" the fisherman exclaimed.
'You goin' to kill that MANI"
j But Lottie leaped into the saddle
again and galloped away. while the
old fisherman rose stihiy to his feet
and stared after her his net-needle

Gene Dundon, and the woman by his

Kemple waited for the night to fall.
She dropped down to within 100 yards

she heard Hattie begin to sing. The
sound cut the deserted girl to the
heart. The shadow on the window

that he was at the table, about to

two long ropes, one from each gum

time, but occasionally the current
tugged at the silent craft, straight

the lines from their stakes, and when
next the current tugged, the shanty
boat came away.
Lottie watched the craft clear the
brush and saw it drawn steadily into
the main current. Then she drove
her canoe into the wake and, sitting.

with her chin on her fists, and her
elbows on her knees, she floated with
the shanty boat, few yards behinds
toward the leaping waters.
r. Ahead of her, mile away, was the
light marking the entrance to the
canal Below that, gray haze hung
above the gloomy river, and out Of
the haze came the roar, heaving and
rolling as the water pounded upon
the rocks.

quietly. There were no waves on the
water, no wind in the air. The huge.
dark masses of the bank seemed to

tree tops. On the water, few CLEANS

light at the entrance to the canal
grew palmer as 1t became nearer.
The canoe and the shanty boat
floated on down, turning from side
to side as the eddies In the current
caught them. The shanty boat came
between the canoe and the light, and
the girl saw a little halo of light

that there was a faint shadow cast

girl in the canoe made no motion and
uttered no sound.
Suddenly a light flashed in the
shanty boat-it fllckered a moment,
and then burned steadily. The front
door opened and beam of light
yellow lamp light-shot out into the
night. 1t struck against the gray

sistants in the work of packing and will
increase the rapidity of handling. An
other big advantage of the cooperative
plan is the economy. Now look here.
Suppose five men invest two thousand
dollars each in packing house and
packing equipment for handling their
own individual fruit. Suppose five
other men 60 together and erect one
packing house and buy one set of equip
ment. The cost of the five growers
under the former plan is $4,000. To
the five growers under the second plan
it is $4,000. OF course the larger grow
ers may own their own individual ware
house and packing plant but it is a
charge on the industries that the bust
ness Of the small grower will not
stand.
"The adoption of Uniform sales
account system will enable the investi-
gator to see at glance the condition
of the business. Heretofore, the radi-
cally different systems Of recording the
account sales made it difficult, if not
impossible, to arrive at an understand
ing of the condition. This information
is necessary to the success of uniform
marketing plans and it is hoped that
the uniform account sales plan will
be accepted by large majority OF
growers and distributors.
