rot ON the ground because it doesn't pay to pick Them
Discouraged growers plant less the next season. and
the supply of food is reduced Meanwhile, consumers
in the cities near by grumble high prices. Demand
and supply are not brought together.
Contrast this with the handling of oranges. 81 000
600 year is spent for advertising by the cooperative
association of the California Fruit Growers: large
sum; yet it is only about one-fth of cent per dozen
one-sixtieth of a cent for each orange sold.
And this advertising has kept down the cost of
oranges. To quote an official of the Exchange:
"rhe cost of selling oranges and lemons through the
California Fruit Growers Exchange lower today than
it was ten years ago. I.s.
I'm the twelve years since the first campaign was
launched the consumption of California oranges has
doubled. The American consumer has been taught by
cooperative advertising to eat nearly twice as many
oranges as before.
clad the orange industry remained on theold basis,
there would have been profit in growing oranges.
New acreage would not have been planted Orchards
would most surely have been uprooted and other crops
planted"
Advertising, properly DONE saves money for the
sumner and makes money for the producer by driving out
wasteful methods increasing volume and cutting down
the costs Of selling and distribution.

While holiday requirements are becoming more of a factor in consuming circles, the weather has not been conducive to the best results in the movement of goods In that quarter. Low temperatures, with snow in some places, have stimulated pur- chasing of heavyweight apparel, but these conditions have not been general ana there is considerable irregularity in re- ports from the leading centers.
