This committee has as its goal in

GROWERS SEEK LEGISLATION
TO GRANT DEALER LICENSE

Of cooperatives as it does from in
dividual shippers.
Representative Summers of WASH
ington, author OF the bill, said he
has been working on legislation OF
this sort eight or nine years and
that at first the big organizations
opposed IL but since they have
been studying 1t for a long period
they now have changed their at
titude and urge passage Of the bill.
Farmers Defrauded
On inquiry as to where most Of
the crooks we're usually found, Mr..
Summers noted instances where
farmers had been traudulently
treated BY merchants in all parts
OF the country and IN both small
and large towns.
Figures quoted by Samuel Fraser,
Of the international Apple Associa-
ton. Of Rochester. ". Y. showed
that the tonnage OF shipments OF
fruits and vegetables in this coun-
try has increased about $4,000. 900
tons from 1899 TO 1919, with an in
creased population of 40 per cent.
Pointing 10 the monetary effect
Of this law. Mr.. Fraser stated that
by speeding up delivery by a DAY.
as would be consequence Of the
bill. a saving OF 5000 900 in interest
on the money tied up in the ship
ment OF products would result.
The reason that we are asking
that legislation be enacted protect
ing shippers in this industry now"
he told the Committee. is because
this industry is organized and has
given study 70 this problem. and
is DESTROYS Of such protection b.
the Government"
When the other industries are
organized likewise and have studied
the problem and make known their
desire for such protection. they
should be given similar protection.

BY MARGARET RUTH WILLIAMS
Building a child's own library OF
worth while stories. poetry and biog-
raphy is a task that perpleXes the
average intelligent mother. How is
this material to be selected?
Let the little child he considered
first. At the age when the infant
begins to bang his rattle on the side
of the crib, he has a feeling for
rhythm. There is literature for this
early age. Our Mother Goose gave
it to US in as simple a thing. as
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack
Jump over the candle stick" This
age IS where we most often fail TO
see our opportunity,
The little child must have its pic
ture; simple. colorful. and the pic
ture, too, must carry rhythm. and
a simple understanding Of the jim
gle. There are several Mother
Goose books that answer these
needs, but unfortunately they stop
there.
Story Next
Our next step is the story. AS we
follow the child's interest, the sto-
ries. too, must do so: the stories Of
children doing the same things be-
gin to lend a universally to your
child's living. / think at present
Of the story Of Baby Bruce in Book
Trails. a collection Of graded mate
rial for the child Of pre-school
ears, through to the child in the
Junior high school. Baby Bruce goes
10 bed following his dinner, like the
chickens, like the puppy. Ike all
living creatures, like the little boy
who hears the story read. This
uuickens his observation IN other
living things and makes him a part
Of the world in which he Is living.
The authors Of these carly years
arc not so easily found. But the
names OF Christina RoSsitti, Rose
Fyleman, Walter de Ia Mare, Robert
Lewis Stevenson. Vachel Lindsey,
Naude Lindsey, Emily Poulson, and
Mary Mapes Dodge. should be in the
family library. The individual VOL
umes of these authors are TO be pur-
chased in our stores, loaned In our
Libraries. and found also IN collec-
tons. Book Trails in the Browns
vile library include all these tamil
lar writings for children.

A reading vocabulary has been
built up by men like Professor

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22- Fruit
and vegetable growers OF the South
and West are practically unanim-
Gus in demanding legislation de-
signed TO license dealers and abolish
fraudulent practices, William Gar
fit. secretary Of the Western Fruit
and Vegetable Jobbers Association.
informed the house committee at
the hearing on the Summers bill.
Garfitt stated that provisions
have been made by the state OF
Illinois which are similar 10 this
bill, and that within that state
the law had proved very valuable.
However, no state regulation can
control interstate shipments, and
for that reason passage OF the fed
eral law is sought.
Opposition 10 the measure has
been voiced by only a few congress
men, and such opposition is based
upon the fact that the bill covers
shipments fruits or vegetables only.
It Is contended that the measure
should cover all agricultural pro-
ducts. Proponents OF the bill con-
tend that 1t could be broadened
later after It's value TO growers
md shippers had been clearly de-
monstrated.
Representative Houston Of Del
said this bill would give protection
TO the farmers. and that the only
objection was the matter OF cost.
However, he said. II IS provided in
the bill that the payment OF the
Federal investigators would be
made from the license fees. ard
the Government would not be put
10 any expense.
No Overlap
He also stated that fear has been
voiced that the provisions Of this
bill would interfere with the acti-
yities OF the Federal Farm Board.
but he told the committee that he
has been actively interested N
farming and that he cannot sec
where the two agencies Will over
lap. AS far as the cooperative as
sociations under the Farm Board
are concerned. he stated. they can
never control the activities q 2
~rooksd merchants in the fruit and
vegetab.e industry. as this oil pro-
yides.
Mr.. Houston cited instances TO
show how the buyers and manu-
facturers had used scheming meth
ods 10 break I'D the cooperative as
sociations and defeat the purpose
which this bill proposes.
Representative Menges OF Penn
~svlyania claimed that the clearing
house plan under the cooperative
association system will take OF these
evils. but Mr.. Garfitt answered that
there are m~ultitudes of distributors
who are not farmers. and they
should be given protection. Also.
stated Mr.. Garfitt. numerous CO.
operative bodies have asked that
this bin be passed by Congress.
n was pointed out by Represen-
tative CARRIER OF Harrisonburg. Va /,
that the farm act will not set up

places. and often cars Of the pro-
ducts have to be shipped to the
