Wi- have two broad way.Vb: deallug with the market gluts of perishable . farm: stuff Thai demoralize ■pi ite: 1 ht• first:-, is to co-operate, get | good information, distribute shipments; widely, and prevent congestion in ; tew big -cities;. A great deal | h s Keen, done along this line by | growers organizations, and Tholes.uu is working io accompli ;hmore. | The second way is to create a j larger consuming demand after a ■ glut ..has occurred im a given market, yor ' o prepare-, the public to .consume more in a season when there is a I heavy crop everywhere. This calls ibr publicity to the consumer, telling what is plentiful and cheap, i \ li;;le has yet been done to deal J with gluts in that way. There are always times when ceri tain products are cheap, and there- ! fore economical for the public. PoI tatbes may lie high and onions low, oranges stiff and apples weak. Ibr the public seldom hears about- these marker differences. NN hat publicity can do was shown it' the bumper apple season ol in 12- , I :t, when women’s clubs in Chicago : c onducted an apple: campaign. in ! ope week there was an extra conjTunviPiio'u of 2 ! .i.oi.ii barrels, At that rate our five biggest cities would ; cat up lop .no ii barrels a week, siipi pose such a demand could be behind this season's apple balance, or organized to consume a poach crop i like that of last year! | Some day Unel-e Sam will proba- ; bly extend his statistical system, givj ing 'he public information about j what is plentiful and economical, thus ; helping both consumer and producer, j In the meantime the produce deal- | ers of Pittsburg have organized to i deal with the situation in their own i market. A committee has been apj pointed, and a publicity man hired. ; Whenever there is a surplus of proi dure -to be moved in Pittsburg the people of that city will be told about it. If heavy movements of peaches or strawberries are. known to be due in a few weeks, the city will be advised in advance, and if a sudden oversupply materializes in the regular run of business, the public will also be told. Each produce dealer who finds himself caught with more stuff than he can move through ordinary channels is to pay a dollar a car for publicity, and with other funds the public will be kept posted as td market conditions through the newspapers, by street' car cards, by signs on produce and grocery -wagons, in tie stores, and wherever else the announcement can be made. —Country, Gentleman.
