Marketing Junk
 Will the grower ever learn the folly of shipping inferior quality of any perishaqole produce? There may be times, due to scarcity and high prices, when poor qualities will bring sufficient retnrns to justify shlr- ping, but don't ever mix the poor quality with better one. Pack separately and try when possible not to ship even at the same time
 Poor quality tends to pull down the price of the choice. False packing is another silly practice that often fools or injures no one worse than the grower or shipper. A shipper often jeopardl2es his entire consign- ment by sending along some left overs or inferior stuff that he ex pects nothing for. wanting mainly to get it out of his way.
 The express or freight costs just as much on junk as it does on the finest stuff l saw market man pour out hamper of beans yester- day that were 90 per cent fine, but the packer had carelessly thrown in remaining 10 per cent of overripe rods more or less spotted and scabby enough to spoil the sale of the beans. The market man is too busy to pick over and the buyer will pass them up, declaring that half of them are tough and worthless It Is human nature to overestimate imperfectiofs s when they buy anything but how diff ferent when selling.
