supply of peaches is by no means ade-
quate to meet the demands of the New
England consumers such as can be Great
ed through organized effort.
The permanent organization commit
tee which was created early in the sum
mer made recommendation to the Peach
Growers association that their work
could be made more efficient and a
stronger organization built up if apples
and other fruit products were included
in the plan of organization, To this end
they have recommended that a perma
nent organization be formed which shall
be known as the New England Fruit
Growers exchange. A most enthusiastic
expression in favor of such movement
is being heard in every quarter AT a re-
cent meeting of the committee held at
Hartford, bylaws were considered and
steps taken toward securing the neces
sary legal action for Incorporation.
In drawing plans for the proposed ex-
change, assistance was secured from rep
resentatives of the state colleges and
from the United States department of
agriculture The form of organization
proposed will be a non-stock, non.protit-
making organization and one which will
be purely cooperative in its makeup.
The general plan for the Fruit Growers
exchange is modelled after the form of
organization of the Eastern States Farm
ers' exchange which has been ncorporat-
ed within the past ten days under the
laws of the state of Massachusetts,. This
plan has been studied from every angle
and expert advice and counsel have been
secured so that it will furnish a model
example of cooperative farmers organi-
cations in the United States.
Those who have been active in the
work of the permanent organization

lack of proper system OF distribution.
This group believed that a remedy could
be found for the conditions and appoint
ed number of committees to work on
such questions as publicity, Transports
ton market news service, finance, and
organization.
The publicity committee secured splen-
did results, for IL enjoyed the co-opera-
ton of the public safety committees Of
the several states and the state council
of defense of Connecticut. Altogether
there were published SO short articles on
the value of peaches, recipes for their use
and statements of condition regarding
the crop developments, thereby keeping
the consumer constantly informed that
the peach season was at its best and that
now was the time to use greater quantl-
ties of the fruit. These articles were dis
tributed to large number of daily and
weekly papers and published in approx |

pers The state council of defense OF

Connecticut supplemented this work in
valuable manner by distributing several
/ thousand posters to the grocery and the
wholesale product trade.
The transportation committee found
much difficulty in its work because of
the orders which had been placed by the
railroads commission from Washington
requiring that peaches be shipped in
maximum carloads of from 600 to 500
baskets, where formerly the growers
were allowed to ship what is known as
the fiat" car containing approximately
$50 baskets. With considerable effort
the work of this committee resulted in
having this order rcscinded, thus the
growers were enabled to ship to the
smaller markets which otherwise would
have been obliged to do without peaches
and the great bulk of the shipments
would have gone to the large central
markets where there would have been
continuous glutted condition.
The railroads ordered that wooden
covers must be used on all peach baskets
after the growers had bought their av.
'erage requirements in net coverings. This
order, too, was reseinded through the eff
fort of the committee. Splendid cooper
alton was secured between the railroads
and the association, and the railroads
promptly furnished shelved cars shelved
for carrying peaches in the required
quantity.
The market committee worked in con-
junction with the Connecticut state eoun
ell of defense and the United States de-
partment of agriculture. A crop report
ing service with specialist located at
Hartford was maintained from Aug. ID
TO Sept. 20. This kept the growers in
formed as to prices on the various mar
kets of New England and other sections
of the country, which was great factor
in equalizing the distribution and avoid
ing unnecessary glnts.
Plans were made to conduct peach
weeks, and details were arranged for ac-
ton in the cities of Springfield, Worces
ter, Boston, Providence, New Haven and
Hartford, and through the work OF the
bureau and market reporting
service, demand was created which re- I
luired the entire output of the producers I
md there was not sufficient quantity of I
peaches to warrant conducting the pro-
posed peach week campaign.
Growers who were discouraged at the
,utset of the season were given an opti
nistic view of the possibilities through
organized effort and at the close of the
asst peach season they reported that it
lad been one of the most successful sea-
ons from the standpoint of marketing

MAKING CLOTH FROM PAPER.
Textile Mills in Chemnitz, Germany, Dis
trict Use That Raw Material.

New York, Feb 26.--Practcally all the
textile mills in the Chemnitz tSaxonyl
district, the center of that industry in
Germany, were making cloth from paper
during 1917, the available supply of cot
ton and wool for textile purposes having
been entirely exhausted. A few estab-
lishments were spinning and weaving
fabrics of nettle fibre by the process in
vented by an Austrian scientist during
the war.
Profits from the manufacture of the
substitute cloth were, according to re-
view of the industry published in re-
cent number of the Cologne Gazette, by
no means small, and many plants made
good dividends.
Scarcely had the mills been converted
to working upon the paper yarns, how
ever, when the manufacturers were un-
pleasantly surprised by the news of an
alarming shortage in the new raw mate
rial, viz, wood pulp, almost the entire
supply of which is required as q base
for explosives and other muntion pur
poses, and the prospects for the textile
plants for the coming year were de-
scribed in the review as very poor.
Nettle fibre as possible substitute
for paper yarn is available only in
limited quantities, SO that only few
mills can be employed upon that raw
material.
The paper cloth in question is not
regular paper but is made of yarns spun
from fibres made of liquid cellulose or
woodpulp and woven like cloth, with
warp and wool. 1t is expected in Ger
many that paper cloth win dominate the
market for some time after the conclu-
sion of the war, owing to the difficulty
of getting supplies of cotton. As to net
tie cloth, a concern has been formed to
establish regular plantations of nettles
upon waste lands to supplement the cas-
ual roadside and fence corner supplies,
but it will be long before the nettle fibre,
which resembles that of fax, can come
into general use.
Tulle factories in the Chemnitz dis
tricts were well employed during 1917
but the supply of silk was running very
short.
Machine works and munition plants,
usually converted textile mills, in the
Chemnitz district were extremely busy
during the entire year, and paid good
dividends, in addition to laying aside
large reserves TO finance the return TO
normal lines of production after the war.

TRANSPORTATION GIVES
GREATER DIFFICULTIES
Railroads Have All They Can Do,
Teamsters Have Gone to War,
and Autos Must Help.

As the weeks and months have gone
by transportation problems have
grown steadily harder to solve. It
10 said By men in every line Of busi-
ness that moving goods promptly and
efficiently IL the hardest thing they
are up against.
The reason for this is simple. We
are at war with Germany. War has
forced a far greater burden on the
railroads than they ever were called
ON to carry before. Tho call Of the
Army has removed thousands Of men
who previously were teamsters. driv-
ers and chauffeurs.
American business must face the
prospect OF q long war and organize
to win 1t. from a transportation
standpoint. This means more efficient
hauling units with fewer men to oper-
ate them. In other words. reliable
motor trucks.
The Autocar Sales and Service Com
pany. local distributors for tho Auto
car, have hit upon a novel plan to
forestall the unavoidable shortage Of
truck drivers that is bound to come in
the near future. The company is put
men and women from different or
ganizations in the city and give them
thorough instruction in the operation
and care of Autocars.
