BETTER FRUIT 



Page 23 



of new outlets, is a privilege granted 

 by the government that should be much 

 appreciated, (g) L'ntler the heads of 

 one to seven, calling for a compre- 

 hensive foreign investigation; proin-r 

 preparation of fruit in accordance with 

 trade demands: supervision of the 

 handling of shii)mcnts so they may 

 reach their destination in good condi- 

 tion; conducting capable and reliable 

 foreign sales agents; expanding old 

 markets and developing new ones; de- 

 vising wa>s and means and safeguard- 

 ing and insuring prompt collections: 

 securing adetiuatc transportation facili- 

 ties, are all subjects of vital importance 

 to the fruitgrower. 



If proper attention is given to these 

 suggestions and co-operalion of the 

 selling conceins obtained there is no 

 question but that improvements and 

 betterments can be secured and better 

 net results obtained, which is what all 

 apple growers need. It is what they 

 are asking for and demanding, there- 

 fore there is no excuse or reason why 

 these suggestions given by the govern- 

 ment, as outlined in this brief editorial 

 and more com])letely expressed and 

 fully explained in the article appear- 

 ing elsewhere in this edition, .should 

 not be followed out carefully, con- 

 scientiously and satisfactorily in ac- 

 cordance with the advice given, by 

 every selling concern, every apple 

 grower of the entire Northwest. In 

 addition, this movement should be sup- 

 ported by every bank and every busi- 

 ness man of the Northwest whose busi- 

 ness in any way depends on the fruit 

 industry, either directly or indirectly. 



Other particularly valuable features 

 in connection with the plans outlined 

 appear under the following sub-para- 

 graphs: (b) To i)ool proceeds of sale 

 and share pro rata any loss or profd 

 that may occur in the develoijment of 

 new markets. (i) Referring to the 

 standardizing of agents' accounting 

 records is particularly important, (j) 

 An annual audit of sales records is 

 something every fruitgrower has been 

 looking for and complaining because he 

 did not get it. (k) Paragraph h, cover- 

 ing the financing of the api)lc crop, is 

 a necessity which every apple grower 

 realizes fully from past experience. 

 (1) Refei'ring to advancements is a 

 needed reform, about protection to 

 fruitgi-owers, which they have not en- 

 joyed in the past, as it does away with 

 the evil of title passing where advance- 

 ments are made.
