Northwestern Fruit Exchange Had
Successful First Year, Marketing
400 Cars and Pavinfl Way for Co
operation Among Exchanges.
R. H. Parsons, president of the
Northwestern Fruit Exchange, organ
ized Inst summer, states that the or
ganization hns had a successful first
season and paved the- way for accom
plishing a great deal for tho fruit
growers through cooperation, by act
ing as a clearing house. Tho total
sales reached $100,000.
The exchange was organized on cer
tain well-defined principles. First,
realizing that local fruitgrowers' asso
ciations, wh'ch would assemble the
fruit In carload lots, "thereby making
It avallablo for any market In tho
world, and which could undertako to
train tho members to grow, pick, pack
nnd prepare the fruit for tho market
in tho most up-to-date and practical
manner In other words, to stand
ardize tho business were fundamen
tal in the general scheme of organlza
tlon. the exchango determined to
support that principle, and its tunc
Mou has been to act as a clearing
house for these local associations and
to undertako tho responsibility for
marketing tho fr.ult, after It is loaded
on the cars at'thd various shipping
stations.
Fruit "Widely Distributed.
Tho following figures will servo to
show the results of the first season's
work of tho exchange:
Number of cars sold 691
Number of markets employed ..124
United States 93
Canada 2
England 2-1
Ireland 2
Scotland 1
Wales 1
Germany
A largo part of tho success of tho
exchange has been due to Its finding
tho smaller and unoccupied markets.
Out of tho 691 cars marketed fewer
than ton cars wcro actually sold in
tho New York market, which was
crowded throughout tho season with
consigned fruit soiling at very low
prices at public auction.

Tho ownership of tho stock of the

icy and management. Tho oxchnngo
Is conducted on a principle of tho
widest publicity. Its stock Is avall
ablo to Incorporated fruitgrowers as
sociations, with tho usual privileges.
Tho local associations controlling the
supply aro tho masters of tho situa
tion at all times, and tho exchange
must stand absolutely on tho morlt of
Its service. Thoro can bo, in the nat
ure) of things, no posslblo control by
tho exchange except as this control
is freely accorded by its members for
purposes of co-operation and on its
merits.'
