PRODUCE SELLING ON
ROADSIDE IN FAVOR
Higher Prices Being Received by
New York Farmers.
One Farmer Disposed of Practically
All His Fruits and Vegetables
Direct to Consumers-Md-
demen Eliminated

Despite the fall slump in produce
cinity Of New York are receiving high
er prices for their produce than ever
before.
One Of these farmers located 20 miles
from New York on a main highway
has written Secretary of Agriculture
Meredith urging him to encourage
roadside selling Of farm produce di-
rect to consumers at the farm. This
farmer stated that he had disposed
of practically all of his fruits and vege-
tables in this way, people coming from
quite distance to make purchases.
"Everything except some corn was sold
right at the gate" he wrote 'and at
better than city prices in many in
stances. The consumers have received
their fruit and vegetables absolutely
fresh and there have been no middle
men to absorb part of the profits"
There are hundreds Of individual
roadside markets throughout the cOun-
try that are achieving similar sue
cess, say specialists Of the bureau of
markets, United States Department Of
Agriculture. OF course, it could not
be recommended that farmers aban-
don their regular marketing channels
to take up this plan of marketing but
there are many instances where farm
erS located near consuming centerS
and on main highways over which
there is some volume of traffic might
dispose Of considerable produce by
displaying at their gates signs con-
tanning list Of the articles they have
for sale.

Gambling Eggs.
One of the bad practices that have
grown up with the selling of eggs has
basis or lease count" That is, the
egg huckster or storekeeper pays for
the eggs he buys from the farmer re-
CARELESS of the quality. 1t must be
recognized by every one that dealers
who buy eggs straight count" pay for
a number which are later thrown out
as unfit for food. AS a matter of fact,
the dealer does not pay for the bad
eggs brought in. He pays a low
enough price so that he can have
number of eggs thrown out and still
make profit.
The poultry man who is in the poul-
try business for profits handles his
eggs properly and markets them while
they are strictly fresh, so that he sells
and demands quality prices for his
quality eggs BY providing plenty of
nests, so hens do not steal their nests
by gathering the eggs twice day in
summer and once in winter, and mar
keting them very frequently, he keeps
down the percentage of loss.
