NEW MARKETING DEAL

The Federated Fruit and Vegetable
Growers, Inc, is to take over the sales
force of the North American Fruit ex-
change. The federated fruit growers
is the new cooperative concern recent
ly launched by the associations for
10 years.
A. r. Rule, who has become mana
ger of the new body, has been general
manager of the fruit exchange for a
number of years. He has a trained
sales force, is in personal touch with
all markets. and is counted on to make
the new organization a success from
the beginning.
| Banking interests in New York are
| depended on to support the farmers.
This is one of the main reasons for
the selection of New York as head
quarters for the executive office. New
York City is also the largest export
| ing center and the federated sales
force will start out with a list of almost
nine million customers. The field SER
vice office will be located in Chicago
and there are to be branch sales Of
fees in several large consuming dis
tributing centers.
1t is an ambitious program and
| its carrying out will not only be
watched with great interest but is
counted on to benefit the grower, dis
tributor and consumer. Southern
fruit growers are to be invited to cast
| in their lot with the new marketing
service.
Another Grain Exchanne.
For more than 20 years Winnipeg
has had monopoly of western Can
ada's grain trade, handling cash grain,
futures and the trade in privileges.
Now Winnipeg is to have opposition.
The Fort William Sample Market and
/ Produce exchange, which was organ
lied in 1917, has completed its hand
some building and because of freedom
from war conditions are preparing to
open for business along the lines fol-
lowed in Winnipeg and Chicago.
| Fort William lies 400 miles south
east of Winnipeg, and with Port Ar
thur, nearby, constitutes the shipping
points of the Canadian northwest.
Farmers are to be admitted to mem
i bership and an effort made to show
them that the exchange method of
handling grain is to their advantage.
Mixing of grain has not been permit
ted at Fort William, when the grain is
bought in the open market.
1t is proposed to sell grain on its
merits, so that the farmers may get
all the benefits, according to quality
The Canadian parliament is to be ask
ed to enact new laws to assure the
growers better market facilities.
There Are No Substitutes.
The Chicago Mercantile exchange
is spending a lot of money in the
newspapers to tell the public that:
There's no such thing as a substitute
for butter and eggs This advertise
ment is to encourage a more liberal
use of butter and eggs, and to im
press the people with the idea thai
no imitation butter is as good and
healthful.
Today's ad goes on to state that
when Mr.. Hoover urged every farm
err in the United States to raise mora
COWS and chickens, he showed far
sighted sense and thrifty judgment
1t is largely due to his advice that tht
nation is now provided with an album
dant supply of butter and eggs, mo-
/, during one or two months, but every
, month in the year
This is why butter and eggs ar,
cheap now, and will continue to b,
cheap all winter. They are the trues
economy because they insure health
