NOEWIH EULLETIN. SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1914 TO GET THE PRICE REQUIREMENTS MUST BE ||| MET i (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) While farming ism't a bonanza for any of us, there are more rofits in farming than most of us get. 1F we would only pay more attention to getting profits and less to having onr own way The case of Oregon apples has boan thrashed out, over and. over again. Why do Oregon apples bring more by the bushel box than better-flavored and more satislying apples from Con- necticut by the barre 17 Simply because they are packed to suit the whims of the | market, not according to the whims of ten thousand different orchardists. same thing holds good with nearly everything the farmer has if he wants to sell it for a Zood price he must furnish it in such shape as the man with the good price is anxious to have it in. If the fatmer is putting a barrel of apples or a bin of potatoes into his own cellar, or a ton of hay into his own barn for his own ock, then it makes no manner of fference what anybody else thinks about the way he grades them. They are graded for himself, and he has no call to think further. But if he is putting them up to sell, then it really makes a mighty big difference about the way they're graded. The question What will the possible buyer the farmer who is looking to sell at the best price will try to so grade and pack and show his goods that they will suit that buyers taste. 1 think I've told you the story of the western hay buver who tried to buy direct from farmers, but had to give it | up and return to the speculators, for the reason that he couldn’t get hay graded as he needed it any other way.

If he wanted and or- dered “fancy Timothy, clear” he might get that, or he might get a good grade of mixed hay. or he might get something else which the farmer, for himself believed “just as good.* The buyer was never cértain what he was going to find when he opened the stuff up. He actually lost much more money in_one season by r of * the. inequality . of the ha; bought from the farms, than he sav- ed by eliminating the speculators commissions and profits. So he went back to that canny individual and is now paying regularly something over lollar a ton for his hay more than rm price, just in order to be » that he williget what he orders when he orders it. professed rade I £t wh ers direct going he he 1 know of a little community of small fruit growers near a big city who have been working their fing to the quick in past years and barely Massachus : o T R e Ta plcked, SeARAE syl Duckadl S urive: Erowing “parieh | | | 1 | ing which was introduced. making both ends meet. Each one was picking and packing his own way. Two or three seasons ago they organ- ized, and hired a competent packer. Instead of each man putting up his own fruits and berries according to his own sweet will, this packer now directs the putting up of all their col bined yields. He first goes to his market and finds out exactly what it wants, in what grades, in what pack- ages, and what price it will pay for “firsts,” “seconds” and ‘“culle” Then the entire yield of the whole bunch of i exact accordance with the instruc- tions he issues to meet the market de- mands, last summer was the secon of the experiment, and one of the ber: ry growers told me right in the heigh of the season that, as a result of this intelligent business handling, he was then getting almost twice as much per box for his currants and raspberries as he did two seasons before. | The case of the Oregon apples is old story to every orchardist. The Ore- gon growers keep in constant touch with their market and respond to its demands about as quickly and smooth- ly as a weather vane r whiffling breeze.

Can vou imagine a dry £00ds merchant keeping on his shelves and continuing to offer the kinds of £oods which were in demand ten years | ago? It may be that those goods were just as well made and just as zood looking as those of the 1913 models. | But he doesn’t give such considerations a thought. What he is trying to do, all the time, is to keep in stock the sort | of goods which his customers want to buy. It keeps him jumping, too, to| maintain a position even with the whims of fashion. It is o with every other business ex- cept farming. The seller is constantly alert to the changing demands of his| market, 50 as to be ready to furnish it with what it wants to buy. People don't 8o 1o any sort of store and buy | undesirable goods just for the sake of | helping the storekeeper get rid of ponds to a |same quality. | efficienc | ganized | was formed as an independent organ- them. They go to buy the Foods they want and they go to the. store which | has them. Whether their whims are always reasonable or not is not the question, and hasn’t much to do with it. They have the money which we farmers are after and why should we expect them to pay it to us for goods we'd like to get rid of, but they don't want, any more than do storekeepers for goods those men are overstocked with? The whole thing is a simple enough matter, if one will only stop and con- sider it reasonably. Here am I, for example, growing green peas among other things. There are two great classes of green peas; one the eariy, round, hard, buckshot sort, and one the sweeter, wrinkled kind. Now the buckshot varieties are very much easier to raise and very much more productive. But my mar- ket doesn't want them; won't pay for them. Won't take them as a gift. It wants the sweet wrinkied peas, all I can raise, and will pay me any price 1 ask, within reason, if I'll supply that kind. Now, don’t you see that it fsn't an of my business, ds green pea grower, to argue with my customers about their tastes? Nor is it sensible for me, just because I can raise more of the { buckshots on the same ground, to { keep on growing them. My business is { to supply my customers with the sort of peas they want and are eager to pay good prices for. The rule is exactly the same in ev- | {ery branch of farm sales. Whether or ber- ries or orchard fruits or potatoes and | grains and hay, if you're raising them | fo sell, the first thing of all to do is | aise the sorts which will sell best and | hen grade and put them up in such | ways as the market demands. 1 re- member once passing two wagons on the public mrket of a neighboring cit Both were just in from the country with miscelianeous loads of produce. An hour later, passing them again, 1| found that ome was almost sold out, | while the other man hadn't made any visibie hole in his load. They had | about the same things and, intrinsic- ally. T saw they were of about the | But the slow-moving load was just a hodge-podse; everything was dumped In, regardless: there was little attempt tion and none whatever at display ‘was just an old wagon loaded up with | truck. The other man had all his | stuff arranged in order. Each variety was by Itself, where it could be seen readily and examined handily, and was so displayed as to make it attractive even to the casual eye. Moreover, it had all been graded and bunched be- forehand, with an evident eys to what the trucker had learned of the mands of his patrons. The other man’s load was, probably, worth as much, in | itself. But it didn’t sell so quickly, | nor bring in so much money at the end, because the driver hadn’t thought it worth while to humor the whims of those whose money he was after. To bring right prices, produce must be graded right. It is more of a trick than some might think to do this sort of grading. Not every farmer could 4o it, even if he should try. It requires a detailed knowledge of market d mands; a quick hand and quicker eve; above all, a willingness to throw ruthlessly into the cull heap every- thing which doesn’t fully come up to standard. 1t's very easy to drop into the barrel a dozen or two “off” apples, just to fill up. “The rest are all fan- Cy: just a few of these seconds won't be noticed.” Ah, but they be! The chances are eleven out of ten that those very culls will work to the top and your whole barrel be sold at the price of culls. It is a very common thing for farm- ers who are conscious of having good stuff to sell, to rely upon the goods to sell themselves. They reason that quality is of more importance than looks and will tell effectually. Very likely this ought to be s0; Wwith some buyers it probably 4s so. But looks count for @ great deal, and present tendencies are toward the em- phasizing of appearances. Whether we wholly approve of this or not, as sellers in the market we will profit in heeding it. If we are growing things for our- selves alone, then it is nobody’s busi- ness what we grow nor how we pack it away. But if we're growing things in the hope of exchanging them for somebody else’s money, then it be- hooves us to find out what sort of toings that somebody wants to ex- change his money for, and fix up our stuff to suit his notions. Why not?? He's paying for it, isn't he? Why shouldn't he have the say about what he is to pay for? THE FARMER, NEW LONDON F The baby company of London fire department, the North- west Hose company, and designated as No. 7, is serving as the entering wedge for a paid fire department, a | project that has for many years been mentioned but squeiched by the volun- teer firemen who are glad to serve th city at their own personal sacrific and by the great majority of tax pay ers who are content with the ac. knowledged and often acmonstrated the department, or- g before the Norwests came into existe That company tne New e idea of giving better protection the Northwest section of the city. It was given quarters in a city building and supplied with ap- paratus ample for the service that was supposed to be rendered. Grad- ually the company forced itself into a part of the rezular department, re- ceiving the same allowances as the other companies.

But there are exceptions and many of them in tho city of New London where some of the best-kept premises in the city are owned and occupled by Ital- ians. One of the principal imove- ments of the soclety is opposing the erection of bill boards many of which they declare, are unsightly and ought to be declared public nuisances. By reason of the avowed cbjection of the soclety to bill boards, -one of the mem- bers recently resigned because he could not consistently retain member- ship because he was owner, in part, of | property that had been leased for Dill bourd purposes. This gentleman was surely consistent in his action and is far romoved from that “unaesitable cloment” referred to, but he was in favor of that particular blil board for the revenue there was in it, oF to sat- isfy the other owners of the property. Not so with Charles Satti, an Italian citizen, who owns that large vacant lot mear the junction of Bank street and Montauk avenue, between the building erected for the Queen Anne Curtain company and the brick block erected by L. Q. Raymond. That lot is one of the most desirable sites for a bill board in the city of New don and was sought for bill purposes. Mr. Satti was offered a fancy price for lease for bill board privileges, over $100 a year, but the offer was refused. Not that Mr. Sattl @id not need the money, but from the fact that he had more genuine civic pride than some members of the Municipal Art soclety. He beleved the sign would be ohjectionable to other property owners in the vicinit: and a general detriment to the gene: appearance of his adopted city. This_same Charles Satti formerly conducted one of the best-kept liquor saloons in the city, but was cemed renewal of license because Lr was ound that there was entrance to the saloon from the tenement he occupled over the store, and which he claimed was rarely opened and them not for the purpose of evading the law.
