SMITH & SORN, Grimsby, Ontario 6â€"15 British manufacturers â€"are taxed to their limit to supply home demand and at the same time cater to _ the demands of the armies in the field. Most of the fruit is brought to Engâ€" land from the Continent, and â€" yet Canadian manufacturers are carrying heavy stocks which, if not disposed of, wil} seriously effect the market for this year‘s fruit crop. ‘"What‘s everybody‘s business is nobody‘s bus iness" and again the fruit grower stands to bear the loss. 3 It is estimated that over forty thousand acres of land are used for the growing of fruits and vegetables for canning purposes alone and that more than ten million dollars capital is invested in this Camadian industry giving employment to about 12,000 personsg. Large stocks of canned goods have been carricd over from last year, The result is that probaâ€" bly less than â€" 50 per cent. of the rormal pack will be put up and in Thousands of trees are coming into bearing yearly so that the fruit industry is rapidly becoming larger and more important. Jam is one.of the most important articlese of diet of the British soldâ€" ier. I is claimed that jam has three and oneâ€"half times the energy value of buititer. Its value lieg in its richâ€" ness in sugar, in the minerals presâ€" ent in the skinsg of fruits, in its lax ative character and its mechanical aid to digestion. Besides it is toothâ€" some and gives a relish to army dict that by its mental effect goes far in the maintenance of health. A system of daily market quotations is provided for, which would do away with the complaints so generally heard that the retailers retard distriâ€" bution by holding the fruit for an exâ€" cessive profit. By quick sales and small profits the retailers would make double the money on fruit that they do now. ‘~A glut of fruit at certain periods of the year would be anticipated and an abnormal demand created so as to take it off the market quickly and without loss to the grower. Ag a development of my plan for the general welfare of the grower, the establishment of a Mutual Inâ€" surance Fruit Accident Company has been considered ; whereby shippers would be paid promptly for their losses in Ccase of freight wreck, etc., instead of having to wait for a year or more before the transportation Company would make adjustment. Canadianâ€"made jams, jellies, grape juise, eftic., should be able to _ comâ€" pete in the markets of the world. My plan provides for the sale of the label to the growers and shipers and by this means they would contribute to the general advertising campaign, etcâ€" The label submitted to you is with out doubt, the best that has ever been produced in any country for the purâ€" poseâ€"for which it is designed. It is strikingly attractive from an advertisâ€" ing standpointâ€"it illustrates its story without explanation and combines the most progressive features of modern business ideas. It will be a guarantee of quality. It will prevent dishonesty in packing, check the acts of unsceruâ€" pulous dealers and make it possible to trace the fruit from the consumer back to the grower if necessary. It‘s use will fill a long felt want and be of mutual benefit to the grower and the consumer. The machinery of distribution is out of gear and again the fruit growâ€" er and shipper is the sufferer. There is no means of knowing the quantity of fruit shipped to any one point, conâ€" sequently, there is a glut of fruit at one place and a shortage at another. By the adoption of my plan it _ will be possible to know at all times the quantity of fruit sent to each city or town and the shipper can govetn him self accordingly. Proper distribution means better prices. Advertising would be conducted in the local papers; and generally throughout the distributing centres to educate the public to a much more liberal use of fruit as an article of diet for the sake of economy as well as the preservation of health and happiness. The dealers would also be taught to display their fruit more attractively. Keep their stores neat and clean, free from flies and otherâ€" wise aid in a larger distribution: While a better price would be obtainâ€" ed for the â€" "Sunmaid" brand, all grades of fruit would be benefitted by this advertising campaign and a perâ€" manent and more profitable market would be established for the general weal. No one shipper, grower nor any combination of growers, as now con stituted, could afford to advertise and get satisfactory results, on account of the expense, owing to the fact that their fruit is distributed among so many different places at irregular inâ€" tervals.â€" Here then comes the power of coâ€"operation, the many contributâ€" ing through a uniform source for the benefit of all. The small and the large grower will each contribute his pro rata share and no more; thereby obtaining maximum results at a minimum expense. Selling, distribution and publicity must go hand in hand if we would obtain the best results. It is in the selling end of the business that the grower has been lamentably helpless, through his inability to reach the consumer and create a larger demand for for his product. | free from worm holes, bruises, scab and other defects and properly packed." The growers would enter into a signed agreement t olive up to this standardâ€"subject, if brokenâ€"to a penalty, the withdrawal of the use and privileges of the label, as being the property of the association when ont used according to contract, and the consequent benefits of the adverâ€" tising campaign. By careful selecâ€" tion, good packing and an attractive label, growers can get from 25 to 50 per cent more for their fruit and find a more ready sale than obtains from the ordinary pack. This augmented with forceful advertising will put in the growers‘ and shippers‘ pockets many dollars that have been lost in the past. ] FRUIT GROWERS HOLD (Continuea from page 1) "I have been advised by the Railâ€" way commissioners that the express companies have made application to them to be relieved from carrying baskets of fruit covered with leno covering only.â€" They base their obâ€" jection on the fruit being difficult to carry, as it is necessary to pile it only one deep on the floor of their cars. They raise no objection to the patent covers of wood and netting which are generally used, and also make the statement that baskets covered with leno only are a very small proportion of the entire quantity carried and that it would not seriously affect the grow ers. Advise me what you think of this action, or what action should ‘be taken on the part of the growers. I know that there are large quantities of fruit shipped this way throughout Ontario, and I believe the growers would very seriously object to any such action on the part of the exâ€" press companies, and would also men tion that the present rate is quite high enough to make the express com panies a good profit even though it is more difficult to carry." W. H. Bunting has received the fo#â€" lowing letter from the Fruit. Comâ€" missioner‘s office at Ottawa: EXPRESS COMPANYS OBJECT TO LENO COVERS Provincial Governments will;> T: * am sure, do their share to assist this important industry and it is now up to _ theâ€"grower to do his part and grasp the opportunity of _ Governâ€" ment and local assistance. Quick action is necessary, _Ag an alleviating proposition my Blan has received the unqualified ap proval of fruit growers, shippers and business men generally, ags well as that of the most . important governâ€" ment officials. « The Dominion and Provincial Governments will; 41â€" am some sections it is likely that the Canning Factories will not be operâ€" ated at all. If the fruit grower â€" is not going io suffer for this condition also he must do something to offset it, and o it now. The fruit growing industry truly needs encouragement and development. It is only byorâ€" ganization and conducting on behalf of the fresh fruit growers an adverâ€" tising campaign such as I have outâ€" lined that karder _ times than have yet been experienced will be prevent ed; > cases is because it combines the mediciâ€" nal tissue building and curative elements of cod‘s livers together with the blood making, strengthening properties of tonic iron.
