BETTER FRUIT 



November

Profits. Profits. Profits. 

 It's profitable to do things well, 

 and especially your spraying, for 

 who sprays unless there is to 

 ample returns. 



Where spraying is done with Q. MYERS 

 BUCKET, BARREL or POWER 

 SPRAY PUMP there are always profits sooner 

 or later. Big fruit growers tell you this as will 

 gardeners and others who use them. They are 

 The Seed for Better Profits" from spraying l 

 because they are designed, built and equipped ' 

 for efficient spraying work. 



Many spray in November. The bright, 

 crisp fall days are ideal for spraying. 

 If you spray during this period, or next 

 Spring, write us about MYERS 

 SPRAY PUMPS, and make them 

 your "Seed for Better Profits" through 

 larger and better crops.

and war workers have increased the 

 necessary meat consumption. Our meat 

 exports to our Allies are now already 

 almost three times what they were be- 

 fore the war. The needs of the Allies 

 will steadily increase, because their 

 own production of food animals will 

 steadily decrease because of lack of 

 feed for them. If we will save one 

 ounce of meat per person per day we 

 can send our Allies what they need. 



Why we must send butter and milk. — 

 The decreasing herds and the lack of 

 fodder mean a steady falling off in the 



dairy products of our Allies. They 

 have been asking for larger and larger 

 exports from us. Last year we sent 

 them three times as much butter and 

 almost ten times as much condensed 

 milk as we used to send them before 

 the war. Yet we must not only keep 

 up to this level, but do still better. 



Why we must send sugar. — Before the 

 war France, Italy and Belgium pro- 

 duced as much sugar as they used, while 

 England drew most of its supply from 

 what are now enemy countries. France 

 and Italy are producing less than they 

 need, while England is cut off from the 

 source of 70 per cent of her usual im- 

 ports. These three Allied countries 

 must now draw 2,000,000 pounds more 

 of sugar than they did before the war 

 from the same sources from which we 

 draw our supplies. We must divide 

 with them. We can do it by economiz- 

 ing. The usual American consumption 

 per person is just double that of France. 



Let us remember. — Let us remember 

 that every flag that flies opposite the 

 German one is by proxy the American 

 flag, and that the armies fighting in our 

 defense under these flags cannot be 

 maintained through this winter unless 

 there is food enough for them and for 

 their women and children at home. 

 There can only be food enough if 

 America provides it. And America can 

 only provide it by the personal service 

 and patriotic co-operation of all of us. 



The small daily service in substitu- 

 tion can be done by all; the saving in 

 waste by the majority, and the lessen- 

 ing of food consumed by many. This 

 individual daily service in 20,000,000 

 kitchens and on 20,000,000 tables mul- 

 tiplied by 100,000,000, which is the 

 sum of all of us, will make that total 

 quantity which is the solution of the 

 problem. 



Storage-in-Transit Privilege 



Mr. J. Curtis Bobinson, chairman of 

 the Transportation and Storage Com- 

 mittee of the Fruit Growers' Agency, 

 was this morning in receipt of a tele- 

 gram from B. G. Phillips, secretary The 

 International Apple Shippers Associa- 

 tion, with headquarters at Bochester, 

 New York, reading as follows : "Storage 

 transit box apples from Northwestern 

 States just granted official classifica- 

 tion territory which includes central 

 freight association trunk line and New 

 England territories, effective soon as 

 tariffs can be published. Privilege 

 granted on transcontinental basis five 

 cents per hundred advance over 

 through rate. Advise all parties pos- 

 sible your territory." 



"While this new privilege will un- 

 doubtedly accord to fruit shippers in 

 New York and Michigan," states Mr. 

 Bobinson, commenting on this wire, "it 

 will be of inestimable value to a great 

 many fruit shippers in the Northwest. 

 Many shippers have heretofore engaged 

 storage facilities at Niagara frontier 

 and paid a proportional rate of ten 

 cents per hundred pounds from there 

 to New York City. This new privilege 

 will mean that shippers in the North- 

 west who desire to store in transit at 

 Buffalo, New York; Indianapolis, In-

diana; Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, or 

 points in New England territory, or 

 even New York itself, may hereafter 

 divert the shipments on the through 

 rate to ultimate destination beyond the 

 point of storage by paying a penalty of 

 five cents per hundredweight additional 

 to the present through rate. This 

 should mean a saving of many hun- 

 dreds and perhaps thousands of dol- 

 lars to some of the shippers in the 

 Northwest and afford them a much 

 wider privilege of distribution for their 

 apples. The Northwest is to be con- 

 gratulated in having such men as Mr. 

 Phillips, who has spent so much time 

 and taken so much pains in pointing out 

 to the carriers the need for this 

 storage-in-transit privilege."
