Mr. Lewis. $1200. We built the storage at picking time, and 

 every two or three weeks an out-of-town commission man came 

 to buy our crop. One came in one day when we were picking and 

 asked if we were ready to selL We told him we were always ready. 

 He said, ''I bought a whole lot around this country for 65 cents but 

 these are just a little better, and if you will keep still I will give 

 you 80 cents." I told him to go with me to where we had a few 

 piled up and show^ me how many he was going to pick out. When 

 he got there his eyes were quite a little bigger than when he was in 

 the orchard. He said, ''I will give you $1.25, but I see that you are 

 not ready to sell." I said "No,' we are not ready to sell." We did 

 a little better than that. We had 4,000 bushels. 



A good little storage would be a good thing for you, just to 

 hold as a club over the buyers.
