Each year the fruit growers suffer more
or less loss OF fruit from various causes.
Chief among these are surplus crops, poor
condition OF fruit or market and lack OF
good local market. No records are avail
able to show this total loss for any one
state or group OF states, but it must
amount to many hundreds OF thousands OF
| dollars.
One state alone in the New England
group is credited with producing each
year ,25O. 900 bushels of cider apples
v hich are valued at Il cents per bushcI.
Our small-fruit growers are heavy
losers, especially in year, like the past
season. In some localities hundreds OF
crates OF raspberries were condemned and
dumped. Other hundreds OF crates sold
for less than picking expenses. Contract
the condition Of these growers with the
New England pioneer who never allows
any fruit from his fifteen acre fruit farm
to waste nor TO sell At price too low to
pay profit. The difference is due to the
methods OF handling those perisbable
small fruits. One set OF growers was At
the mercy OF the market and lost heavily.
The other was equipped for manufactur-
ing. and sold everything st profit.
What has been said OF small fruits will
apply to plume, peaches and grapes
However, the greatest loss TO New Eng
land fruit-growers is from line Gull and
cider grades OF apples. Statistics show
| Z crop for the whole group OF states Of
approximately $4,000 bushels. These
are disposed Of as follows: Cider mills
handle large quantities at an average
price OF II cents per bushel. Some is fed
feed 10 so low this is not economical.
Large amounts are allowed to waste.
1t costs the good grower Is much to
grow culls ~ 1t does better grades, hence
this large crop Of poor grade apples repre-
sents tremendous loss.
The apple lends itself admirably TO
manufacturing. The many products
which it will produce are standard foods
on most markets, and New England
should nnd ways to conserve all her
cheap fruits through some one or more OF
these products.
Apple butter, cider jelly, apple syrup,
evaporated and canned apples, boiled
cider and vinegar are the important prod
ucts, and all are within the scoops OF posi-
biiities for the farmer or small coopera-
tive association to manufacture so chesply
that good profit may be realized.
The East has learned one expensive
lesson from the Northwestern fruit grow
err, and We are due for another experience
In the near future unless ws bestir our
selves 1t will be only few years before
hundreds Of carloads Of fruit byproducts
will begin rolling into our eastern mar
kets to supply the growing demand for
thess products.

ers and farmers going to do about 1T

for Unusual Joy

The happicst Passover that the Jews
as a race have celebrated since their
exile from the Holy Land will begin
at dusk tomorrow night.
II will be celebrated with more than
usual ceremony and Joy by the Jews OF
this country. because several millions
Of their brethren in Russia have been
liberated from a bondage OF centuries.
And in Russia the Jews will celebrate
Passover with enthusiasm, because they
will not have to resort to underground

eynagogucs for its observance this year

tho spring festival Of the Jews. 1t Is
then that in the Holy Land the barley

Railroads Fearful of
Water Competition
Abolition Of Preferential
Rates to Pacific Coast
Opposed

Washington, April 4.-Representa-
tivcs of transcontinental railways and
Pacific Coast ports united to-day in
urging the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to reject any readiustment OF
transcontnental freight rates, involved
in the intermountain rate cases, which
would involve the abolition Of low pref
erential rates from Eastern producing
centres 20 Pacific ports.
Counsel for the railroads told the
commission that water competition,
while non-existont at present, was still
potential and that proposed increases
in rates to Coast cities would result in
diverting a great volume Of traffic to
steamship lines, which would then find
it to their advantage to engage IN the
coast-to-coast trade through the Canal,
the railroads suffering a corresponding
loss IN revenue.
Seth Mann, :. T. Wotrick and {. /.
Helping, representing organizations IN
san L TallClStO, otdNNlt dAiN AIN0 -A'-b ~'~-'
respectively, declared that much OF the
business Of Coast cities had been built
up by low water rates; that the war had
taken the steamship lines into more
profitable channels. and that II the rail-
road rates were advanced the business
of those cities would be greatly
crippled. Wooden ships are now oelng
"a. u r n
coast trade, and when these are COM
pleted water competition will be re-
stored
j. B. Campbell, of Spokane. urged
that the through rates be increased,
saving that as no water competition
now existed there was no excuse for the
low preferential rates. Such rates Mr..
Campbell added. constituted dis
elimination against towns and cities iE
the intermountain territory, which
should be removed.
