To c-t t he b t distribution we not only need icoml cooperation nmouu the fruit districts of the l'acllic coast but ii closer and more friendly co li.irtnership betwet'ii all fruit produc ing districts of the I'nitetl States. Are we putting too much depend ence on what the Panama canal can do for lis'.' It undoubtedly will be a creat factor in distribution, especi ally for l'.uropean markets. We may be dis appointed, however, In the re siilts of t he opeuinc of this canal on our American apple trade. Many of the growers will have local freight rates on the railroad to pay, not only at the point of production hut at the point of final distribution. It also will depend on the rates t he steamships can offer and the possi l.Tity of securing steamers that are equipped for handling fruit trade through tropical waters. We must not sit down and wait for the Fan atua canal to be opened. One question that confronts us, can we eradicate some of the lower grades, and especially the cull. I u doubtedly this can be done In many occasions, but there is grave doubt as to whether this can really be done In many of our orchards, especially with increased production. At times a scarcity of help may play an tin port'int part In the per centage of and evaporating establishments. We should tic shipping out train loads and shiploads of high grade vinegar. Jells, jams, canned apples and evaporated b ulls. Many com munities Mill make the serious blun der of making thi-e plants too ex pensive, elaborate machinery wllMe Installed: machiin ry that Is not nec essary which merely ties up capital and the result u III be that many of the plants will prove failures. In some of our sections prune driers ami hop driers cm be easily made to handle the dried fruits. One large orchard on the Pacific coast made a handsome profit mi their cull apples last year by drying them In a Imp drier. The expense of changing the drier and the addition of certain im plements was very small. Ry using proper precaution in establishing bl prodilct factories and by hiring men who understand the business we will be able to mauufact art1 our culls into products that we can dispose of at ' a handsome profit.

It would mean a greater business and more money III circulation, which as a general rule means prosperity for the people as a whole. In conclusl u we would say, then, let us study closely our cost of production. Ix-t us try to reduce It If possible. Ivt us experiment wit h different methods of handling new packages for the lower grades. l,et us establish vine gar houses. Jell and Jam factories and evaporating plants. Let us all work for a closer and more friendly cooper ation with the en tire fruit interest of the continent, seek a better distribu tion and try to establish the parcels post.

CI,AKKi : a fact that few of us today know the real cost of production, especially when this refers to single items of cost, such as cost of pruning, spray ing, thinning, cultivation, packing, etc. 1( possible we must reduce the cost of the package ami packing of lower grades. This will, perhaps, mean some experimenting on our part. One of the greatest boons to fruit culls. The size and management of ! growers would be the parcels post the orchard and climatic conditions must all be considered. The chances are that the per centage of culls will Increase rather than diminish as our crop increases In bulk. We should establish at an early date plants for handling Id-product. Probably If we wait for private capital to estab lish such plants It Is very doubtful If in most cases we could handle the culls at a profit. Fruit growers' as sociations should immediately take up t lie mat ter for the Installation of vinegar factories, canning plants surety bond for Sl.uou, securing our performance of such contract; the company to execute such contract ! and lie ready to supply service at the j above rates by February 1. ll'l-. j Yours very truly, !

If this were introduced we could ship out jellc, jams, vinegar and packages of fruits to various parts of the coun try at a greatly reduced rate. it would mean an enormous increase of the consumption of fruit and fruit bi-liroducts. This last fall at our college we received a box of fruit from Wisconsin which weighed .'Hi pounds; the express rate was $i l:t. A 40-pound box from Massachusetts cost us $.1 12; a box from eastern Or egon. $1 -."; box from Colorado, $:S n.", and a package from California !Hlc Compare these rates with the parcels post rates and you can easily see where much of the money for a pack age of fruit goes. Many country j merchants seem to oppose the par cels post, but I sincerely believe It would increase tlnlr business. lt would give the fanners and fruit 1 growers more money, and money done In the same building by a class of young men.
