WASTE OF eARoeN STUFF.

Two factors in the high cost Of fruit
and vegetables have received but lit
tie notice from the consuming public.
refer to tae questions of grading
fruit and vegetables ANT The licensing
Of hucksters. Fruit and vegetables
are graded by selecting the finest spe-
Cimens, and then they are solo at IL
price to cover the entire crop. while
the greater portion produced is wasted.
We pay as much for Il dozen apples as
half bushel Of wholesome cooking
apples should cost, says "a writer ia
New York sun. If fruit and Vege-
tables were sorted sufficiently To Gull
out the partly decayed and badly
bruised portion, these TO be sold as
such. vast amount OF stuff would
come on the market at moderate
price and at the same time fancy fruit
could be sold by the dozen to those In
quest Of that grade. Nearly all cities
issue hucksters' licenses and the huck.
ster, by working in unison with the
storekeepers, create monopoly inside
the city limits. The producer Is kept
from access To the city with his load
Of fruit and vegetables unless he takes
out license, and this would not be
profitable to the average producer.
The result is to allow the hlUksters
and other dealers 10 exact from the
consumer as high price as possible
and at the same time set the price to
the producer. Public markets should
be provided In cities and the privileges
Of the market limited to the producer
