FINANCIAL TROUBLES
"More Food"
demanded the city consumer. Farmers re
sponded with the biggest crops they had grown
for years. Then what happened? Poor trans
portation facilities, high freight rates, concerted
consumer effort to lower prices on farm prod
ucts. How can farmers sell at a fair profit?
GENTLEMAN
for next week carries a great story showing
how farmers are shouldering marketing prob
lems that really belong to the city consumer
and are solving them where he has failed.
Careful farming methods had
resulted in bumper crops in
New Jersey. New York City
needed the food; but New York
City offered little cooperation
toward getting it. How the
State Bureau of Markets step
ped in, securing adequate trans
portation and developing a
unique system of direct market
ing, is the theme of this most
suggestive and helpful article.
In marketing, as in every other
farm problem, THE COUNTRY
GENTLEMAN presents the up-to-date,
useful fact stuff it will
pay you to read. And the 52
big weekly issues that reach
you during a year cost but
$1.00 and they're a bargain.
You'd better order today through me!

'I he hufur Orchard Co., owning 4100
h res, uf which HcriH mr planted
in h-year old tree, Haid to he the lion
el MB OirbftNl In the world, was
f'ciicrd into an involuntary rffcivernhni
Turn. lay ftamOOfl of last wt-ck at Tho
Dallei by Circuit Jodf Frd W. WU
son by Mtitlofl of creditor. The. bi
orchard tract lies 12 miles aouth of The
Daltal in Waco county. The land lian
In ail valued Ht $600,000 for wheat
tcrdwinif purposes. Including meat
warehouses and other luuipment, the
value has hten increased, it is said, to
more than $1,000,000. A. C. Churchill,
man agai of the company, was ap
pointed temporary receiver. On Janu
ary 24, a hearing will be held, and
creditors given an opportunity to sug
gest a permanent receiver.
Attorneys said the action was taken
to prevent creditors from forcing the
company into bankruptcy. Poor con
ditions "of the market is said to be di
rectly responsible for the present
trouble. One of the debts mentioned
in the complaint was a mortgage for
$h0,00ti held by the Northwest Fruit
Exchange. The complaint avers that
receipts from this year's crop,
which was expected to amount to
fOO.OOO boxes, were insufficient to meet
this obligation. Among other items
of indebtedness mentioned were: A
short term note for $4,637 to a hard
ware concern of The Dalles; amort
gage trust due to the Portland Trust
Co. to secure bonded indebtedness for
$150,000; a second mortgage of the
Northwestern Hank, of Portland, for
$25,000; a lien on all real and personal
property in a trust deed mortgage for
$115,000 held by K. H. French, banker
of The Dalles, and Emory Olmstead,
Portland banker. A- number of small
er claims have cropped up, and it is
said that the company is delinquent in
taxes.
The big orchard is in a dry section,
and Jts success without water has al
ways been a mooted question among
Hood River orchardists. The orchard
has not been cultivated since last sum
mer, and unless this cultivation is done
it is predicted that, the 1921 fruit crop
Will be a failure. Jt is also charged
that the trees are suffering for lack of
pruning.
