ton.
The agent at Highland wondered
why anyone should want to know
nbout cars Of strawberries moving to
Chicago. A few years ago his Uncle
Henry had "gone broke" raising
strawberries because he couldn't sell
them for enough to pay his expenses.
While he was wondering about this.
messages were coming to Washington
from all railroads and soon word was
flashed back to points In producing sec
tions showing that total Of 40 cars Of
strawberries were on the way to Chi
cago. and that comparatively few ship
ments were going to other important
Markets. D.
Shipment Diverted.
'Forty cars will swamp the Chicago
3market tomorrow" said strawberry
man. who received the wire from
Washington, and he reached for the
telephone. Messages went to railroad
officials to divert certain cars headed
for Chicago to other cities where
strawberries were not abundant.
Next day Chicago received only 20
cars Of strawberries instead Of the
40 that would have gone there except
for the market news service Of the
bureau Of markets. Chicago could
use 20 cars but not 40. and because
the other 20 cars went to different
markets many growers received checks
that gave them a profit on their ship
ments.
Helping the Uncle Henrys.
Guesswork In marketing Of fruits
and vegetables has gone. The market
news service is working for many
"Uncle Henrys" and also for dealers
and consumers. No one profits when
A.saty receives more of any fruit or
liable than 1t can consume. and
ns means Of correcting such condi-
tion 1t Is necessary to know how much
produce is en- route to that city.
The market news service for fruits
and vegetables, with Its many agents
and with assistance from railroad off,
cials, gives daily a picture Of market
conditions Throughout the country for
both shipper and dealer and places
