Jersey Fruit Men Active 
Making Plans to Market 1928 Peach Crop 
T he Jersey Fruit Growers’ Coopera¬ 
tive Association has plans well under 
way for marketing its 1923 peach crop, 
according to the discussion at the en¬ 
thusiastic annual meeting of the coop¬ 
erative at Camden, N. J., on February 
2. During the 1922 shipping season 
the association handled nearly 115,000 
.>ushels of peaches for its members and 
from that experience the cooperative is 
laying its plans to handle effectively an 
even larger production this coming 
year. The principal feature in the ten¬ 
tative plans, outlined by James E. 
Klahre, manager of the association, is 
a separate marketing policy on peaches 
sold by the car, from those sold in 
broken lots or by the motor-truck load. 
It was pointed out that a highly 
-specialized sales agency with sales con¬ 
tracts in markets throughout the coun¬ 
try could very profitably handle the 
peaches to be -sold in carlots. This plan 
would make available the sales force 
of the association for intensive work in 
the distribution of peaches to markets 
in northern New Jei’sey, New York and 
j eastern Pennsylvania. The marketing 
policy for 1923 will shortly come up for 
final action by the Executive Commit- 
j toe, after which plans will go forward 
intensively. 
The federation of fruit cooperatives 
now comprises six local units, namely: 
The Vineland Cooperative Association 
of Cumberland County, the H,olly Trust 
Growers’ and Cooperative Packing As¬ 
sociation, the Camden Fruit Growers’ 
Cooperative Association, the Moores- 
town Fruit Growers’ Cooperative Asso¬ 
ciation, the., Riverton Fruit Growers’ 
Cooperative and the Burlington Fruit 
Growers’ Cooperative Association. As 
pointed out at the meeting, the efforts 
of the organization this last season 
helped to stabilize prices on peaches in 
the Philadelphia market and through 
such efforts proved a valuable asset for 
the general fruit industry of New 
Jersey. 
The officers of the Association for the 
coming year are: Joseph Barton, 
Marlton, President; C. B. Lewis, Riv¬ 
erton, Vice-president; Dr. Frank App, 
Bridgeton, Secretary-treasurer. These 
three, together with Bertram Gillette 
of Vineland, Geor,ge Reid of Mount 
Holly and Byron Roberts of Moores- 
town comprise the Executive Commit¬ 
tee. In addition to the members of the 
Executive Committee, the following 
make up the Board of Directors: Henry 
Albertson of Burlington, Arthur L. 
Ritchie of Riverton, C. L. Andrews of 
Morestown and H. H. Bell of Mt. 
Ephraim. 
Pruning Demonstration Draws 
Crowds 
Monmouth County Agent, Ellw'ood 
Douglass, held one of the largest prun¬ 
ing demonstrations in New Jersey on 
February 2 on the farms of W. B. 
Conover at Middleton and John Tansey 
at Matawan. Over 80 people turned 
out in response to his invitation to get 
the latest information on pruning prac¬ 
tices. The gathering was said by A. F. 
Mason, Extension Specialist in Horti¬ 
culture at the New Jersey State Col¬ 
lege, to be next to the largest attend¬ 
ance at any pruning demonstration in 
! the State. 
; County Agent Douglass and Special¬ 
ist Mason brought out the three gener¬ 
ally used types of pruning—the open 
head, the modified central leader and 
the cential leader—and showed on j'ust 
which varieties and under which condi¬ 
tions each of these was best. One of 
the main points emphasized was that 
the pruner should leave as many low 
branches on a tree as possible to aid in 
spraying and picking, and to give the 
most first-class fruit. In this connec¬ 
tion the growers were told that there 
!S not much ground for the belief 
! among some fruit men that they must 
have a high tree in order to get neces¬ 
sary cultivation, for with modern orch- 
•^rd machinery a grower can get as 
close to the trunk as is desirable. 
Caution was emphasized against ex¬ 
cess cutting of the fruit spurs and 
small branches on which the crop is 
borne; also the tendency among some 
men to leave insufficient air and sun¬ 
light space around the fruiting limbs 
because of the fear that they will cut 
out too much. The constant stream of 
questions fired at the County Agent 
and Fruit Specialist indicated that this 
type of demonstration, which has been 
more widely held than any other except 
the culling demonstration, is still popu¬ 
lar with the central New Jersey fruit 
growers. 
Tomato Men Perfecting Organization 
Answering-a call of the Burlington 
County Tomato Growers’ Associatipn, 
representatives' of the tomato-growing 
counties in southern and central New 
Jersey recently met at Mount Holly, 
N. J., to discuss plans for the forma¬ 
tion of a permanent marketing organi¬ 
zation. The formation of a cooperative 
tomato marketing association has been 
under discussion for some time, such 
counties as Burlington, Cumberland, 
Salem, Gloucester, Camden and Mercer 
being interested. The Executive Com¬ 
mittee named below, one from each 
county in the order just listed, was 
elected to comprise a group which 
would work in conjunction with the 
State Federation of County Boards of 
Agriculture regarding details and ex¬ 
penses of forming a permanent organi¬ 
zation. This committee is composed of 
Charles A. Collins of Moorestown,Iieslio 
Platts of Bridgeton, H. N. Fogg of 
Hancock’s Bridge, J. B. Stratten of 
Mt. Royal, Frank W. Shivers of Mer- 
chantville and A. E. Young of Trenton. 
Dr. Frank App of Bridgeton will serve 
as secretary of the above committee. 
Looking ahead to the coming season 
considerable discussion centered at the 
meeting around the possibility of rais¬ 
ing the price of canhouse tomatoes this 
year. It was the sense of the meeting 
that an effective marketing organiza¬ 
tion coujd not be completed in time to 
function in this regard for the 1923 
crop. 
Egg Cooperative Shows Results 
According to a careful survey of 
comparative prices on Pacific Coast 
eggs and those from New Jersey and 
other nearby points, Herman B. Walk¬ 
er, manager of the Atlantic Coast Poul¬ 
try Producers’ Association, finds that 
New Jersey eggs in 1922 commanded 
a premium over Western' offerings on 
the New York market. His investiga¬ 
tions show that in 1921 the prestige of 
nearby eggs over those from the Pacific 
Coast was to the tune of 0.3 cents per 
dozen, while' the difference of New 
Jersey eggs over Pacific Coast in that 
year was nil. During 1922, however, 
the favor of nearby eggs gave them an 
advantage of 2.4 cents per dozen, while 
New Jersey white eggs as marketed 
through the association sold at a pre¬ 
mium of 6.7 cents per dozen. These were 
the comparative average top quota¬ 
tions for Pacific Coast, New Jersey and 
other nearby white extras. 
When the Association established its 
own salesroom and offices in New York 
City last June, it discontinued its 
previous policy of grading and candling 
all the eggs of members in loca} pack¬ 
ing houses. When the work first started, 
four and five grades of white eggs 
, were packed, and all of the cases were 
new cottonwood cases, with new white 
fillers and flats. During the last hgif 
of 1922 and up to the present time, the 
candling of eggs has l^en discontinued 
except for the retail trade willing to 
pay a premium for candled eggs. The 
number of grades was cut down to 
three during the fall and two during 
the rest of the year. The expensive new 
eases and white fillers were discontin¬ 
ued ahd two of the three,local packing¬ 
houses were closed except the one at 
Toms River, N. J., which was retained 
as a receiving station only, except dur¬ 
ing the summer-resort season. With 
simple rules for grading and packing 
and with attention to grading of eggs 
on the part of members, the packing- 
department in New York City is mainly 
for inspection of eggs on arrival. 
These changes in policy have enhanced 
the efforts of the association and made 
possible the operation of the associa¬ 
tion at less cost to members. 
Pi 11 the mulch from the strawberries 
as soon as freezing days have passed. 
This gives the plants a chance to shoot 
right up and bear early fruit.
