Marketing Fruit Is a Grow¬ 
er’s Problem 
(Continued from page 303) 
ing and branding of so many varieties 
of fruit in the local associations, the 
inspection, supervision, and selling of 
these through a central association and 
a national sales agency, involves not 
only a high type of efficient business 
organization and management, but con¬ 
siderable inevitable delay in making 
returns. Since all the fruit that is to 
go into a pool must be sold, and since 
all the charges including allowances, 
losses, storage costs, etc. must be se¬ 
cured and deducted before a pool can 
be closed, it is obvious that no one can 
be paid until all these items are brought 
together. On the other hand, many 
growers have to have money to pay 
for packing, packages, and in some 
cases spray material as soon as the 
fruit is ready to market. This in¬ 
volves borrowing both by the locals and 
by the central, often without collateral 
security. These borrowings run into 
thousands of dollars. Further de¬ 
mands have to be met before many of 
the pools can finally be closed. These 
further borrowings are usually on ware¬ 
house receipts. The ability to finance 
all these operations adequately and se¬ 
curely and to pay obligations prompt¬ 
ly and fully is of fundamental import¬ 
ance in the whole cooperative market¬ 
ing problem. 
Assured Volume of Business and Con¬ 
tracts Essential 
No one who has studied the problem 
of marketing any commodity can fail 
to appreciate the vital importance of 
volume of business. Without volume, 
overhead costs are likely to become 
prohibitive. Without long term con¬ 
tract, volume, reputation for grades 
and brands cannot be obtained in the 
markets, steady shipments maintained, 
and an assured business built up. 
Volume is of the utmost importance in 
reducing percentage of overhead costs 
and in influencing the market price. 
Without adequate volume in the 
markets, even the highest quality of 
goods are unable to obtain the neces¬ 
sary premium in the face of heavy ship¬ 
ments or consignments of similar fruits, 
even though they be of inferior quality. 
This common practice of consigning to 
markets and taking a speculative 
chance on obtaining a fair price is the 
primary cause of alternate famines and 
gluts in the markets. This of course 
affects the association’s business in a 
very vital way. 
Some way must be found to make 
the majority of growers see that their 
interests are all bound up together in 
the solution of these problems and that 
members must trust their association 
(themselves) with their assured busi¬ 
ness over a series of years. The as¬ 
sociation directors and management 
have a great deal to learn before they 
will become efficient marketing agents. 
They must not only know all that the 
skillful and experienced dealers, specu¬ 
lators and jobbers know, but they must 
become better informed and more skill¬ 
ful in order to deal successfully with 
these newer and larger aspects of 
marketing problems. This means spe¬ 
cialization; it means mutual confidence. 
But in the end it will also mean a 
measure of control in the markets and 
a reasonably assured fair profit to the 
growers for their products. 
Every Grower’s Job 
The solution of the problems involved 
in the successful marketing of fruit 
is the grower’s job just as much as 
the successful growing of the fruit is 
a grower’s job. Neither are these 
marketing problems the special respon¬ 
sibility of any selected number of grow¬ 
ers any more than of every other 
group of growers. Successful coopera¬ 
tive marketing depends absolutely 
upon a majority of the growers pooling 
their interests together for volume and 
a measure of necessary control, and 
upon mutual confidence in one another 
and especially in the ability of their 
leaders and officers to work out the 
problems. It is a common interest and 
a common job. The problems are not 
insuperable; in fact, given this volume 
of business and confidence, any reason¬ 
ably competent board of directors 
ought to be able to build up efficient 
marketing machinery. This is the job 
that lies before the fruit growers of 
New York State.

I set out to build a farm engine 
that would have every feature 
the farmer wanted and none he 
didn’t want. It has now been 
on the market six years. Thou¬ 
sands of Satisfied users tell me 
I've succeeded. I’m proud to 
have this engine bear my name." 
■A. Y. Edwards 
There is no other farm engine 
like it. Simple in construction 
and easy to operate. It is only 
one engine, yet it takes the 
place of six engines. It will give 
from to 6 H. P„ yet it is so 
light that two men can carry it 
easily. Set it anywhere and 
put it to work. 
Change Power 
as Needed 
It is a 6 H. P. when you need 
6 , or lyi H. P. when you need 
only l}4, or any power in be¬ 
tween. Fuel consumption in 
proportion to power used and 
remarkably low at all times. 
Adjustment from one power to 
another is instantaneous. 
Barns Kerosene 
Operates with kerosene or gaso¬ 
line. Easy starting, no crank¬ 
ing. The greatest gas engine 
Vn 
value on the market. And you 
can prove all of these statements 
to your own satisfaction. 
What Users Say 
Ivan L. Blake, of Hannibal, 
New York, says: “Only engine 
economical for all jobs. I run a 
28-inch cord wood saw, a 24- 
inch rip saw, a washer, a pump, 
and a grinder, and it sure runs 
them fine. It has perfect run¬ 
ning balance, and it sets quiet 
anywhere." 
Clarence Rutledge, of Mani- 
toulan Island, Ontario, says: 
“Have given my Edwards four 
years’ steady work and like it 
fine. It uses very little fuel. I 
run a 28-inch cord wood saw, 
also a rip saw, 8-inch gi ader, 
ensilage cutter, line shaft for 
shop, churn, washer, separator 
and pump. Have had ten other 
engines and the Edwards beats 
them all.” 
Frank Foell, of Cologne, New 
Jersey, says: “It’s a great pleas¬ 
ure to own an Edwards engine. 
I run a wood saw. cement mixer, 
BHtoK.wnMn8nMnaaa 
threshing machine, etc. Do 
work for my neighbors. Easy 
to move around and easy to run. 
I would not have any other.”
