REDUCE TARIFF OR
FRUIT WILL ROT
TRUCK GARDENERS AND OR
CHARDI3T8 CAN'T SHIP AT
PROFIT.

(United News Staff Correspondent.)
CHICAGO, April 7. Unless reduc
tions are made In prevailing freight
rates, a great rsrt of America's 1921
fruit crop will rot op the ground, In
the opinion of leading fruit growers
In conference here.
A substantial percentage of the
southern and California vegetable
crops, now ready for market, cannot
be profitably shipped, it was stated.
At the present rates, Italian fruit
growers are able to ship Sicilian lem
ons to Chicago cheaper than Callfor,
nla growers can lay their product
down at the same terminals.
The great Texas cabbage crop, sell
ing in the Rio Crando valley for $6
a 'ton, costs $140 a ton in Chicago.
Oregon apple growoVn are planning
on using a water outlet and to ship
their fruit to Liverpool and New
York through the I'unama cajial.
Thousands of tons of Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota and Iowa apples
will rot on the ground because of the
freight costs.
Georglo farmers are tfraid to plant
their water melons, and peanut, onion
and fruit growers are facing a disas
trous season bocausc of the impossl
olllty of getting their products to the
usual markets at a profit.
"Wo are working for a water outlet
to market our fruit In Liverpool and
iNew York," said Fred Bennion, Pen
dleton, Ore. "This will bo Impossible
on small perishable fruits like cher
dies and peaches, but wo can ship our
apples and dried fruits through the
canal. It Is cheaper to ship to Liver
pool by water than it is by rail to
Chicago."
Only tho choicest of the great 'Mich
igan apple crop will ever see the mar
ket In Chicago, New York and other
bjg centers, It was stuted by James
Nichols, president of the Michigan
farm bureau federation.
"Freight rates are tho limiting fnc
tor today in tho fruit and vogotablo
growers 'battle for a living," said C.
O. M.oser, socrotary of tho Texas farm
federation bureau.
"iNolhlng but the choicest frulta and
vegetables will got to market. Not
more than 25 percent of the Texas
cabbage crop can be marketed."
"Half of the lemon crop will be lost
this year," said It. B. Potors, of Do
vore, Col. "At prosent freight rates,
it costs us 1.44 a case to ship lem
ons to Chicago. Sicilian growers can
got their lomons to Chicago for J1.I0
to ?1.40.
"Tho smaller sized oranges cannot
bo profitably shipped and thoy consti
tute a fair percentage ,of tho .crop.
When It costs us $4.75 a box to lay
lemons down at any point In tho Miss
issippi valloy and the Italians can sell
their crop In Now York for J2.20 a
box, our plight Is obvious."

cd that Georgia growers nre unable to
ship to New York at present rates
and that farmers are afraid to plant
on that account.
All of the growers seem to agree
thnt while the consuming public suf
fers to a degree on high freight rates,
the shipper is the chief loser because
when a certain price has been reach
ed in the fruit and vegetable markets,
it cannot be passed, or the public will
not buy.
