1T MIGHT, ! suppose, disturb the
equanimity Of even those complacent
old Dutch bIrghers of our Knicker
booker days to know that the vctual-
ing Of New York City has come to be of
such moment that it requires the attention
of the entire commonwealth. 1t is as much
matter of evolution as the growth of the
city itself that the food supply should be-
come scientific problem.
The states side is the welfare of all the
people, the entire 10000, 900, the 100000
IN the southeast corner and the 100000
scattered throughout the other sections.
The paramount interests of all these is
the reason why the state has constituted
Department of Farms and Markets.
the State Department Of Farms and Mar
kets is divided into two divisions, the Di-
VISION of Agriculture, of which Commissioner
Of Agriculture Wilson is the head, and the
Division of Foods and Markets, of which
Commissioner Eugene H. Porter, NJ. D., is
he head
What vitality affects both sections of the
state, urban and rural, is the marketing end,

content and happiness of the consumer.

with a little spasm of pain on his face,
but did he come along? He did not. He
waved his hands at me and yelled,

it represents an arrangement which is sus-
ceptible of wide application
There is absolutely nothing impracticable
IN the proposition that group of farmers
should get together, hire a salesman and
instruct him to dispose of everything they
raise, from hay to gooseberries, from cab
bages to caulifower. There is nothing any
more impractcable in this project than in
the project of the orange growers of Cali
fornia pooling their fruit and hiring
sales manager.
Nor is there anything essentially I'M
practicable in a community of city neigh
bors getting together and sending skilled
buying agent out with their community
market basket to purchase their supplies
They have but to estimate their years re-
quirements of butter, eggs, chickens, apples
and whatever else they need and tell their
buyer to get it for them at the best possible
price and quality.
The expansion of this selling and buying
method is of the possibilities of the
states new marketing project. Dr. Porter's
men have mapped and charted New York
City. They have it portioned off by nation
alities and the food requirements of each
section are known. So, too, they have To-
Gated every dealer in food. They know
there are about 10000 such dealers, en-
ploying an army of about 100000 men, en-
gagged in handling the food supply for the
great city.

OPANGLEBoLD sTARBRIGHT is
better than his name, which in
itself is pretty good. His mother
belonged to Browning Society,
think. His father purchased two
states out in the Middle West, by coun-
ties put oil derricks up all over them,
onened a large aud brilliant bank ac-
count in Spanglebold's name and then
died. Spanglebold came in to see me the
otber dav and said the doctor had pre-
scribed rest.
"Where going?' | put, running quick
" oyer the Bahamas, Jamaica and Japan

"Ive just arrived from Kansas City,"
said Spanglebold. Kansas City was the
home of the bank account
I agreed that he had come from Kan

"The doctor sent me on for a rest"
looked at Spanglebold a little sus-
piciously, but noting only serenity and
innocence in his blue eyes l contem-

commission men are scamps, and vows that
he will let his stuff rot before he will send

there are black sheep among the commits

The produce may have been too ripe, it
may have been improperly packed, it may
have been sent inopportunely. But what
ever the grievance, TIE state of New York
is there to see that justice is done Some
times little judicious explanation
smooths matters over
"The way the division of grievances
works is this; On the day a farmer makes
q shipment to New York he sends letter
to New York office, 90 West Broadway,
stating the particulars. He tells in his
letter the date the shipment was sent, the
number of the car, the firm to which it was
consigned and any other particulars.
"When that car reaches New York City,
there is a New York State Foods and Mar
kets inspector on hand to meet it. If the
load is not sold the inspector makes the
sale for the farmer, he sees about the col
lection, and RENTS. He reports accurately
and impartially to the farmer on the con-
dition of his produce. The farmers fear of
