carload we got $50.
During the winter 1 formed a new
campaign. l moved to the city, leav-
ing the farm in charge of my tried
and true assistant. The week before
the Jonathans were to ripen l visited
every grocery store in the city, large
and small, and offered to deliver to
them such apples as 1 showed as sam
pies, for $1.90 bushel box, prepaid.
AS that grade Of apple was then sell
ing to the retailer by the jobber for
$3.50 at the least, they were pleased
by my offer, and within three days
had sold three carloads-1,S 800 boxes.
| wired to the farm to ship them, and
gave the express company the names
and addresses of the consignees.
About ten o'clock in the morning Of
the second day the express company
| telephOned me to come down at once.
I did so, and there found all my ap-
pies but 100 boxes, piled in the hot
depot. Every shipment except one had
been refused by the dealers. They
| had not even opened them for inspec-
| ton, and in most cases had refused to
let them be unloaded from the delivery
wagons.
| started out to learn the cause of
this extraordinary behavior. My first
inquiries were unsuccessful, the deal
ers evading answer. But after while
| found an old German who was will

| jobbers of the city had sent an agent
to see them the day before and told
them that if they took my apples as
agreed the jobbers would refuse them
! further "courtesies'-which meant
| they could buy no more fruit from
! the regular wholesale dealers. In self
protection, therefore, the retailers had
to decline my shipments. The one who
had dared to disobey this drastic or
der from the overlords was the

also conducted wholesale depart

from $3.50 to $3.50, and l felt quite

had found no sale for my apples and
had shipped them to an adjoining town
so miles away, where they were sold
at price. which, after deducting two
commissions and the additional freight,
left me IS cents bushel.
Naturally this took all the fight out
of me and the rest Of our crop was
marketed through the jobbers. The
total sales for the 5000 bushels were
$4,000. But these apples cost the
consumer more than $4,000.
l had new scheme for the ensuing
year. l advertised in the papers of
several towns that we would deliver
fancy No. 1 apples to the homes of the
people, with the privilege of inspection
before paying, express prepaid, for 81
bushel. At that same time the usual
retail market price was more than 81.
We also sent circulars to the people
whose names appeared In the tele-
phone books. AS result of this cam
paign we sold less than 600 bushels,
which did not pay for the cost of the
advertising. Evidently the housewife
is not anxious to save money, or else
she has little faith.
Since then we are going on raising
the best apples we know how to pro-
duce. We prune and pillow and fer
tilze. We spray carefully. We pick
by hand with the utmost solicitude.
Our apples are large ana free from
bitter rot and other blemishes.
But we sell them through the job
bers. and we receive an average OF
50 q bushel even now with the prevail
ing high prices, and these same apples
cost the retail dealers twice that sum.
The difference goes into the rapacious
and never-satiated nav of the men
who do nothing to raise fruit or to
sell it or to put any real value into 1t :;
but who live on the efforts of the other
two real laborers. / think that they
ought to spell their names With an ini-
tial r instead of J.
But they have on their side antiquity
and religious prestige. For even way
back in the time of the Garden OF
Eden there was there an apple tree.
Eve tended this tree and watched its
fruit. When it was ripe she presented
II TO Adam. Thus Eve was the pro-
ducer and Adam the consumer. But
that was not all. Even there was to
be found the niddleman; the Bible
calls him by more characteristic
name.

Ore day they sold several articles to
two customers. The bill came to ex-

cause of the size of the sale. They
were further elated when they heard
one of the women remark to the other
one as they left the store: "They
must have educated clerks here now.
Did YOU notice that they counted up
the bill in their heads instead Of us
ing piece of paper as the old ones
did?"
