foumd that in the United States the organi 

 zations fall into three classes: First, where 

 the growers simply pack and sell to local 

 jobbers ; second, where the Rrowers pack 

 and sell f.o.b. cars, thus retaining control 

 of the fruit until shipped. In the third 

 class the growers' organization have selling 

 agencies or brokers to which they consign 

 fruit, or else through auctioms upon arrival. 

 In either course, the fruit is generally dis- 

 posed of to jobbers. There seems little 

 eivdence of direct selling to retailers as it 

 is shown that this would demand a great 

 credit system. No serious effort has been 

 made to eliminate the jobber. 



'The one note of doubt was sounded by 

 the peach growers across the line, who fail- 

 ed o make money this year, even with the 

 shortage in peaches. Thousands of trees 

 are being removed in the peach belts to the 

 south."

The weather continues mild and damp, 

 although we had a few days' sleighing in 

 the beginniiig of December. Mayflowers 

 were gathered as late as December ninth. 



The potato crop is very short owing to 

 alternate rains and frosts during the pro- 

 longed harvest. For the past few years sev- 

 eral apple growers have found it more pro- 

 fitable to buy potatoes for home use than to 

 grow them ; now they are finding it a dif- 

 ficult matter to buy them as many of the 

 little growers have only enough for them- 

 selves or are holding them for better 

 prices. The present market price is one 

 dollar and sixty cemts a barrel at the ware- 

 house. Nova Scotia supplies much of the 

 seed of special varieties of potatoes to Ber- 

 muda farmers, who grow three crops a year 

 for American markets. This year they 

 have been disappointed as many barrels of 

 their seed have been frozen in Nova Scotia, 

 and prices have gone up. 



Reports from Old Country markets are 

 discouraging, but the low prices may be a 

 blessing in disguise, emphasizing the fact 

 that we need cold storage, amd that it neith- 

 er pays to grow or to (ship number three 

 apples. In London the number threes and 

 spotted special twos will not make enough 

 to pay shipping expenses, not counting the 

 trouble and toil of growing them.
