Selling Organization

That the Florida Citrus Ex-
change has just closed the best
and most prosperous year III It's
history and that large increases IN
membership for the coming ship
ping season will give it a still
greater increase in its proportion
of the Florida citrus crop was the
recent statement of c. E. Stewart,
ir., business manager of the ex-
change, before the board of direc-
tors. He said preparations were
under way all ovec the state de-
fnitely to close the membership
of each association of the Organi-
zation on Sept. 80. Growers who
have not indicated prior to that
time that they will ship through
the exchange will not be allowed
the use of the organizations fac
ilities and must depend entirely
upon the purchase of their fruit
by OUTSIDE buyers.
This was the regular monthly
meeting of the exchange directors
Action was taken to make the sell
ing charge for handling vegeta-
bles the same as during the prev
ious season. A letter from w. F.
Miller, manager of the Exchange
Supply Company, was read, in
which it was stated the sales Of
that subsidiary during August to
members of the Exchange were
considerably the largest in the
history Of the company, the busi-
ness of which continues to grow
very largely. The output of or
ange boxes from the crate mill at
Ross was said to be running at
a good figure. The company's
fertilizer plant in Tampa is now
operating and shipments to grow
.ers being made right along.
To the directors DR.. Ross ex
pressed himself as having been I'M
pressed during his northern trip,
recently concluded, by the ex-
treme prosperity prevailing gen.
orally over the north. He said
manufacturing plants generally
were operating on full time. High
wages continue with very liberal
spending. Judged by the prevail
ing prices for potatoes and apples
he felt excellent prices were bound
to result for citrus fruits. Dr.
Ross said in his opinion a sudden
collapse of prevailing prices was
entirely unlikely because of the
world shortage of products of
every sort.
Sales Manager George A. Scott
concurred in DR.. Ross remarks
but declared there was a somewhat
pessimistic note to be heard among
dealers in perishables, some of
whom thought the top notch in
prices had been reached. Mr.
Scott said that unfortunately the
selling price of perishable food
stuffs could not be governed bvI
the cost of production; that even
the government was forced to re-
alize this during the war. Perish
able foodstufs which cannot be
stored, he said, must be sold quick |
~ and demand is the only thing
which fixes the price.
Mr.. Scott deplored action in
some quarters of beginning the
shipment of citrus fruits as early
as the present time. He said in
mature fruit in the markets in
variably was followed by reaction
due to consumers not coming back
for more, and that immature fruit
thus was costly to the growers of

The Lure of Environment

From "The Kingdom" by F. H. Sothern,
 in the Scribner.
 "The poor" said the kind lady, have little happiness. Their lives are drab and joyless. We who have wealth and the good things of this world should share our fair fortune with them. I will ask my dear friend Marian, who is so devoted in her settlement work, to bring me a small chid-some child from those tene- ment house districts-and she shall live with us for 8 month in the country. It would be a good thing, a wise thing, patriotic thing, for all wealthy people to adopt a little poor child for the sum mer and to free these sad ones from the influence of their squalid homes. l have been among them with Marian and the reeking air would suffocate one. The noise. the odor, the dirt! It is terrible terrible!"
 And yet" said pale young man, who looked as though he had thought quite deeply upon occasions, and yet it is curious that these squalid children dance so joyously about hurdygurdy, finding in the hideous din the music of the spheres. It is strange that they devour from stained hands with greedy gladness scraps of food which you would hesitate to give your dog. It is hardly to be ex-
 plained-that intense interest which is ex

THE SAD STORY
OF A MILK BOTTLE
UNITED Press Service)

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The aver.
age milk bottle makes only II trips
before it is broken or lost.
For every consumer who has a
quart of milk delivered at the door
each day the dealer in the course of
a year has to supply 20 new bottles.
This is the report made by dairy
experts of the Department of Agri-
culture, who have just completed an
investigation of the staggering waste
of millions of milk bottles nnually.
The investigation, conducted in Sc
cities, shows that the average milk
dealer buys 1869 new bottles a
month and the large dealers buy more
than 10000 month, which are large
ly, though not entirely, replacement
stock.
In Is of the cities investigated,
more than 100000 >sound milk bot
ties are collected annually from the
city dumps, the specialists report. In
some cities the business carried on
by junk dealers is one of the most
serious sources of milk bottle losses,
they say. Not only do they sell the
bottles to dealers in the city, but
often ship them to other towns. Most
States have no laws restricting such
traffic.
Only 33 cities had milk bottle ex-
changes, or places where milk bottles
from all sources are sorted out and
returned to the owner, provided he
is member of the exchange.
Nineteen States have regulations
governing the use of milk bottle, the
report concludes, and 72 cities report
ed the use by dealers of other deal
ers' bottles.
