C. L. UOOQSell Of FrUlt AUCllOn
Co. of, New York Gives In
teresting , Talk ., to Local
Growers One Way Sale Is
Advocated. '
E. L. Ooodsell of New York city,
manager of the foreign freight and
brokerage departments of the Fruit
Auction company delivered a very in
teresting and Instructive address on
marketing problems at the library this
afternoon. He said in part: '
With a smaller eastern crop of ap
ples this season, that Medford apples
and pears have sold for un remunera
tive prices makes tt desirable to seek
the causes for such conditions.
As a close student of marketing
problems, I offer my solution of low
prices to Medford fruit growers. Ap
ples generally do not arrive In good
condition In the New York markets.
By this I mean with flavor and keep
ing qualities unimpaired. 'Therefore,
the first Important phase of the apple
grower marketing profitably his crop,
la efficient transportation.' '
The present constructed refrigerator
cars can be vastly Improved. Better
insulation, b using cork Instead of
waste treated with chemical or other
substitute) would afford protection
against freezing In going through
"cold waves," and also against heating
when warm weather prevails. A stable
temperature would be maintained,
ery different from the 30 degrees var
iation, now common, during transit. A
double valve on the waste pipes would
prevent the entrance of outside air.
Always an advocate of using steam
ships for carrying western fruits to
eastern seaboard markets as well as to
Europe, I urge ail interested to c
operate In establishing this service.
The only type of steamer which will
carry all fruit products 100 per cent
efficiently hag not yet been built, ex
cept fcy the United Fruit Co. As the
latter use their steamers for their
banana conynerc, it is obvious that
the needed steamers must be built
This can be brought about by guaran
teeing to ship builders a sufficient ton
nage for a period of years, at an
agreed freight rate, or all coast inter
ests, banking, commercial and produc
ing could subscribe the necessary cap
ital, - construct and operate the line.
My contention that as the prosperity
of each Pacific coast state i8 vital to
the banks and merchants of the state
and as the soil produces that wealth,
that the problem of waterway trans
portation is a personal one with each
and every commercial interest in each
producing state of the Pacific coast
8teamers of the type which supply
dry cold air In every chamber and
equipped to keep that air pure, assure

investments, in respect to transporta

Unsound apples at destination, whe
ther caused by heat or cold, mean
heavy losses to the producer. The
history of marketing for many years
past has been, a large proportion of
the receipts does not arrive "commer-

Exrhunge and adopt their policy of
action.
Marketing northwestern apples, so
,far as New York Is concerned as con-
ducted at present is inviting low
prices. Tart ar sold at private sale
land part at auction. This means ap
ples are uaed to compete with apples
in effecting sale, to the producer's
loss. Apples should all be sold one
way or the other, not both ways. Ship
pers can control this by their instruc
tions. As all bananas and California decid
uous fruit and oranges sold in New
York are disponed of at auction, and
to the satisfaction of the Importers
and growers, it would appear that all
applfs. the nest important fruit ton
nage on the market, should be sold at
auction.
Certatnly If the United Fruit Co.. the
California Fruit Growers Exchange
and the various organizations of decid
uous fruits, all of which are prosperous
and probably the most successfully
conducted marketing companies in the
world use the New Y'ork Auction,
apple shippers con safely follow such
leaders.
The result of an experiment in ship
ping a cargo of Spanish grapes by a
United Fruit Refrigerator steamer In
October last which I was enabled to
make by courtesy of the United Fruit
Co., will interest apple shippers. This
cargo sold for about $1.50 average per
barrel higher than any other cargo of
which there were about 15. The grapes.
arrived unheated and practically
sound. Buyers in consequence were
led to speculate and pay this great dif
ference in price.
I believe under the same conditions
apples would show the same results,
as buyers would have confidence to
buy and hold, which is not now the
case.
The importance of growers loyally
sustaining the organizations they mar
ket through cannot be underestimated.
A grower who receives poor results
frequently criticises either the man
ager of his organization or his market
ing agency. There is no question aa to

with the miners had lnen sent to of
ficers of the 16 major organizations
ot railroad workers.
Ir. Lewis declared the ratirad

Secretary Hughes, has been maintain

Secretary Hughes, In closing said
that no more necessary or significant

"This treaty absolutely ends the
