Short. Umii IVar "lie also snyn that, while hi kcc lion of New York has been the heav iest producers of pears in the world, the new plantings aro running much hlrongor to apples than to pears. Other items of information are: Thoy cannot grow tlio Hose successfully in their hection; the Winter Nelis are uniformly small si.ed and unsatisfac tory' Hie only varieties that are Mle1 cossful aro Hartlctts, Kelfcr nilij Seekel; their cxperimcntH in grafting on Keifor slock have not been suc cessful, especially if a slow-growing variety is the top work. "Mr. Gillctt gave me, an inleicstiug resume of experiences in marketing. They formerly depended upon com mission and jobbing men to keep them iulormcd of market conditions, but found that they were being' served with misinformation that served the coiuinixsiou men miliar than the growers. Now they lime partially perfected a plan of exchange bullet ins between tlio secretaries of fruit growers' associations throughout the eastern districts whereby each dis trict knows liut the conditions aro in tho several other districts. Mr. Gillctt seemed very anxious to seo this plan (tied on a national basis, but urged that it must bo entirely in tho hands of tho growers or their lo en I organizations, and neither com mission men, jobbers nor strictly marketing agencies should bu con nected with it in uny way. (Jrocr Kcviirr U-nt "Another interesting item wns his statement that tho editor of Mtural New ork,' which ho considers one of the. best publications for fruilgrow. or in tlio world, recently conducted tin extensive investigation of the fruit marketing problems and found, ns tho average of hundreds of sale investigated, that tho apple grower the country over averaged .'15 cents out of every dollar paid for apples in the United Stales by the consum ers. His statement is in lino with ono incident J ran hums two win ters ago while in Cincinnati, where I dropped into one of tho best grocery stores and found some of our Itogue river Nowtowuu on sale tit 00 cents per dozen, I asked the'propridtor, af ter telling him who I was mid why I wanted to know, what he paid wholusalo for thoe apples, mid he told mo .flUS per box. 1 alteiwanls asked the Medford grow;or who ruibcd and shipped them what he leeched net for them, and he said 4-I.iJl per box. As Mr. Gillctt said, 'It is in the marketing of our fruit that we must work out tho future success of the industry' " from employers and their ligentH with utmost. ncL'bblo exceptions, it is the wage-earners, wio believe, asseit aiij prove that the very institutions iif their country hnvo been picvcnted bv the power of the employer. Prison records for labor leaders have be come badges of honor in tho eyes of mauv of their people, and great mass meetings throughout the nation ehee:' denunciations of courts and court decision'?. Clieor for Prisoners "State and untional conventions of labor organizations have cheered the niimc of lenders imprisoned for par ticipation in n cnmpnwi of violent" conducted as one phase of a conflict with organized employers. "The unrest of the wngc-carners lias been augmented by recent devel opment and changes in industry. Chief of these are the rapid and uni versal introduction and extension of machinery of production, by winch Unskilled workers may ho substituted or the skilled, and an equally rapid development of means of rapid trans portation and romniuuicatiou, by which private capital has been en abled to organize in grrat corpora tions, possessing ciformoiis economic power.

"I have thought Ions and bard on this problmn, and If anyone can tiug Rest a better solution, I wish they would come forward with It.
