THE CIIAIR.MAN: It seems to me we ought to have 

 xvorkeci up a fairly good market for fruit by this time. Now 

 ihe next question is marketing it and I want to call your 

 attention to a thing I meant to mention before, to the cover 

 of our program — you will see that this young man has a 

 market already developed and is proceeding to fill it. It may 

 be interesting to you. I am quite sure it will be, to know 

 that this is Prof. Chenoweth's little boy, and as my chil- 

 dren are all girls, I might say he is the finest boy I have ever 

 seen. 



Perhaps we'd better pass now to our other tvvo subjects. 

 which are really very closely connected, the ]\Iarketing 

 I>roblem from the standpoint of the producer and consumer. 

 We are going to start with the producer end of it first and 

 then have the subject discussed from the standpoint of the 

 consumer, and I feel that ought to round the thing out and 

 give us a better idea of the whole subject. Ordinarily we 

 don't give the consumer much chance here, it is all brought 

 i,p from the standpoint of those of us who are producers. 



We have asked Mr. Fred Smith, Director of the Essex 

 County Agricultural School, who for many years was in 

 active practical work, and with Avhom most of you are al- 

 ready familiar, as he has spoken here a great many times — 

 we have asked him to talk on the subject of the IMarketing 

 oi Fruit from the Standpoint of the Producer. I have great 

 pleasure in introducing ^It. Smith. (Applause),
