W. J. Hearty, of New York city, former president of the International Apple Shippers' associa tion and a tnemher of the firm of May nard A Child. Mr. Bearty spoke on th« “Apple Export Situation." There U reason to beU«v« that after be had finished a comfortable part of the large audience had a new slant on the for eign market and its needs and the con sistent disregard of its requirements by hundreds of producers and shippers who instead should be stimulating de mand from that quarter by the most careful attention. In the courae of the address, Mr. Hearty said: “The commercial Importance of ex port markets dates back to 18H0, dur ing which time the development baa' t»eea steady in the broad interpreta tion of the world. The total yearly shipments have varied in keeping with the extent of our crops. Export ship ments of the past two years represent about 15 per rant of the total commer cial crops.

"If I aenae production manufacture correctly, the alm is to produce at the lowest possible unit cost.

It strikes me that thia is all per fectly logical and applies no lews ford- I Idy In theory to the distribution of apples; but what about it lu practice?
