Milk Problem Settled on Basis of Fairness By P. G.

To meet these condjtions he had to market most of his early crops at little or no profit, and in some cases at a loss. Unusval ways of marketing the crops by roadside stores and stands were devised. me crops were left to go to seed to decrease the loss and relieve the glutted market, and some few were plowed up. A certain grower fed this summer cabbages to his pigs as the most profitablo way of disposing of his crop. From mid- summer on the conditions were bet- ter, and helped pull the growers through. Tt safe to say .that no farmer became wealthy and most were glad to close the season with a rea- sonable small profit, or to break even. The farmer today is a better edu- cated man.than his father at the time of the civil war. The agricultural colleges and experiment stations and the U. S. Department of Agriculture kave heiped to bring this abont. Therefore he demands more benefits for his work than formerly. Like the Japanese he has awakened to the ad- vantages of education and progress, and like them he is going. to get these as an individnal or through organiza- tion. What he wants of the govern- ment and the public at present are: Ist. A dependakile. sufficient and profitable labor supply. 2nq. A market for his crop that is fairly reliable, so that he can dispose of all he is asked to produce. Srd. A reasonable profit so that he and his can enjoy' their share of the advantages of modern civilization. 4th. A place in the political, busi- ness, and . social world commensurate with the importance of his calling.

Does It Pay to Grow Grain? “We have been doing more of a manufacturing , business than real farming, depending as we have upon |, the west for our grain feeds. So long as western. feeds remained cheap enough, this system was all right, but it lacked the most fundamental basis of permanence; that is, 4n adequate area of fertile soil, and now that west ern feeds are no longer cheap, a read- justment of the business is inevitable. “The situation isn't as bad as if New England farmers couldn't grow. grain. They can when the price war- rants it.

There is no subject today before the industrial and {mercantile world of more vital importance than that of {ransportation and deliveries. The federal government is urging curtail- ment in the interests of fuel and man- power conservation. E. E. Regan, superintendent of the N. Y, X. H: & H.'R. R. Company, with office at New London, has been invited to attend and Alex Sharp, a Norwich member of" the: commercial economy Loard, will speak. _For the purpose of securing addi- information- in regard to the Centralization of Deliveries, the local secretary addressed an in- quiry to the Ann Arbor Civic Associa- tion as a delivery system is maintain- ed in that city. The following reply was received: By a cooperative system of dell\'ery, the merchants of Ann Arbor, gan, give a service of. five deliveries a day within the ecity limits, a service conceded by all to be far more satis- factory than formerly and employing only seventeen wagons where seventy would be operated by the old indi- vidual method, so that, with the im- proved service there is also a greatly reduced expense. This system was inaugurated in Ann Arbor in September, 1907, after a com- mittee of local merchants had visited Fremont, Ohio,:and made a study of the way the thing was being done in that After a thorough discussion of the report submitted by our com- mittee it was decided-to have a com- pany incorporated under the name, Mcrchants Delivery Company, capital stock $10,000, shares $10 each. Twenty-two merchants took 25 shares each, providing a working cap- itai of $5, 500 and a constitution and by-laws were adopted, said to have been originally drawn up. by .Justice Day for a similar Ohio company. Central Station Erected. Asuitable lot was at once purchased, S0x132, at a cost of $3,600 and a cen- tral station erected, costing $7,800. So the new company started out with a considerable indebtedness, all of which has been wiped out, howeyer, in less than seven years, and an_ adjoining lot bought and paid for at $2,500. The company finances itself on a basis that is entirely satisfactory. Now, the details of the system, the manner of its operation, the method of collecting and distributing gcods, providing for. C.?0. 'D. deliverles, etc., cannot be explained in a sentence, nor is there any logical, connected order in which the various features should be taken up. The best that can be done is to go ahead with one item and then another through the list and even then a personal study of the actual ogcration would probably be necessary for a clear understanding of the sys- tem as a whole. In the first place the company serves not only its own members the stockholders, but deliveries are made for any merchant. The 'stockholders comprise practically all grocers and butchers in Ann Arbor. Members, how- ever, buy their coupons at a lower rate than non-membefs. After de- cucting the income from the deliveries ‘for those who are not stockholders of the company, the balance of the ex- pense is prorated ameng the stock- holders proportional for the number of deliveries that are made for" each. ‘| orders. that are ready, Silk Department 18-inch.

City Divided Into Routes. All coupons, or rather tags, are sold for cash and in lots up to®100, 200, 500, 1,000 and 2,000. In using these tags, the merchant uses one tag for each crder (delivery to one address) fill- ing in not only the name and address of the customer, but also the number of the route. The entire city is di- vided into 16 routes and each mer- chant has a route book, printed and alphabetically -arranged as to streets, sc that the route number of any ad- dress is instantly in the index, al- though of course. the merchants and their clerks.are very familiar with the routes now and are seldom obliged to vefer to their book. Kach merchant, also stamps his coupons with his firm stamp, so the tag (coupon) tells the whole story on its face, its price, the firm, the . customer and address, and the route number. In the morning. the drivers report at the central station at 5.15 and start out with their wagons. Each driver has certain stores to which he deliv- ers the “empties” (each merchant pro- vides his own baskets or boxes, marked with his name and from ‘these same merchants he collects the orders to be delivered, returning to the cen- tral station with them. The wagons are then backed up to a long bench, or shelf, 'running down the center of the station, and the baskets and boxes are unloaded and shoved aiong according to the route numbers on the tag, thus distributing the orders to the proper wagons in a very few moments. The drivers are then ready to start out on the first morning delivery. As. the driver delivers, he takes the tag off the order and these tags are turned in at the office, tied and stacked in each merchant’s name and held for a time for reference in case of com- rlaints, or checking up, ete. Bringing Back the Empties. In coming back to the central sta- tion after delivering, each wagon stops at certain stores most' convenien’ to his line of travel, leaves whatever “empties” he may have belonzing to those particular+ stores, collects the . and brings them to the central station. Each mer- chant gets back all of his “empties” at noon and in the morning. For C. O. D. orders, envelopes ara furnished instead of coupons and for these merchants pay 1-8 cent more than the straight delivery tag.
