initial carrier by the receiver, if lie be 

 an f.o.b. casli piiiciiaser, tlir(Hi,i>h Ihe 

 associations, and thus by lliis endless 

 chain of co-operalion the producers, 

 associations, carriers and receivers are 

 liiouglit in very close contact, althouiiih 

 actually thousands of miles apart. As 

 Messrs. Stcinhardt iS: Kelly arc strictly 

 f.o.b. cash i)urchasers, the responsi- 

 bility of delivery at the dcsignaled 

 destination of the fruits in good condi- 

 tion within a reasonable time is trans- 

 ferred automatically to the trallic de- 

 partment innnedialeh after the bill- 

 lading contract has been signed by the 

 authorized representative of the initial 

 line. It is needless to say that the men 

 in this depaitment must be wide awake 

 and up to the minute at all times, as 

 many unforseen and unexpected con- 

 ditions will arise which require imme- 

 diate, decisive and definite action. 

 While cars are in transit this depart- 

 ment must be in jjosition to tell almost 

 hourly where a certain car is at that 

 time, and must be ready on a second's 

 notice to jump into the breach and be 

 prepared, on account of certain condi- 

 tions and dilliculties, which arise at 

 limes without notice, to divert a certain 

 car to another market, another to be 

 lightered to steamshii) pier for export 

 and still another to cold storage ware- 

 house, there to be helii for future needs 

 and to avoid ghdling the market, which 

 would result in an enormous financial 

 loss. When cars are finally delivered 

 at their ultimate destinations, whether 

 diverted or held under the storage-in- 

 Iransit iirivilege, freight bills must be 

 absolutely correct, whether the amounts 

 specilied represent the actual traTis- 

 porlation, refrigeration, storage -in- 

 tiansit, switching, detention, car serv- 

 ice or diversion charges, before they 

 can be passed to Ihe accounting depart- 

 ment for jiayment. When this has been 

 accomplished the history of the re- 

 spective shipments pass into oblivion. 



Fruit Growing in Tasmania 



I have been reading with great 

 pleasure what \()u have been telling us 

 about fruit growing in your country, 

 and as I cannot talk in your confer- 

 ences your iieople might like to read 

 about fiuit growing in these new lands 

 where already fruit is eaten in very 

 much larger quantities than we remem- 

 ber in the old world, and where it is 

 I)roduced so easily and so beautifully. 

 Our long sunny summers, extending 

 from October to tlie following .lune, 

 mature fruits which never ripen on the 

 Iree in the old world. Your .Tonathan 

 apple is looked upon as (piite an early 

 apple here and produces mature red 

 fruit early in our season. Maidens
