ROADSIDE MARKETING
PAYS ORCHARD MEN

Roadside marketing is coming
more and more into general use in
selling farm products and it may be
employed TO good advantage, expec-
tally in selling special crops. Two
Porter county men, Messrs. DOepker
and Johnson. year ago purchased
a rundown orchard which had never
brought the owners any profits
They called on the county agent and
the horticultural department Of
Purdue university for help. The
men were given instructions on the
renovation Of the orchard and on
marketing, using the method en-
ployed by several other orchard men
over the state TO good advantage.
This year, they harvested 5000
bushels of apples and sold all Of
them at the farm, advertising in the
local newspapers and using other
methods 10 tell the people of their
section about the crop. People came
from as far as so miles with their
own containers and purchased ap-
pies. The culls were made into
cider and the Orchardists following
the directions Of the Purdue men
and county agent made a nice profit
while the consumers got the apples
at lower price.
