Cargo For wNome

Vancouver Province)

Down at Seattle they are load- ing two ships for Nome this week, and they are making haste. The cargo manifests allow principally items o! food, clothing and building materials-Nome is in sore need of the elementary necessitiw of life. Fire, driven on a wind from the Bering Sea, has destroyed the" old wooden business blocks that have stood in the main street of Nome this thirty yearrgone.

A third of the famous Alaskan sold camp's population of 1500 is “ melese. There isn't very much time to spare. The temperature is nearly down to freesirlg point now; winter is coming on; the winds of the Bering Sea will soon be piling the sub-Arctic ice on the desolate beaches. In Nome, they are holding a cargo of 3000 reindeer carcasses, intended for shipment south, in case there is s real shortage of food. Up there, halfway between the sixties and seventies of north latitude, fire can be a very m. rible act of God.

codpile shippers" of ‘p! pllyllll W” with prices, ctc., prompted evidently by those involved.

The real cause for the price de- cline is that farmers here in some caeesale snxiousforreadycsahat allysellingpriceat stirnewhenun- usually hot weather in the eastern states has curtailed the turnip de- mand. and it would be a wonderful help if the Banks would assist these needy farmers for a week or two. But the real cause back of all this lg that large quantities of turnips have been shipped to New Yul-k and Boston markets on commission or consigned for sale on arrival. 0on- signing unsold has been the ruinw

tion of the potato and turnip mar- kets and no improvement can be ss- sured lmtilthbpracticeisputs stop to.

I received a letter this momlns from one of the lamest turnip blly- ers in New York which reads in part: "It seems that souls of the Associations at your end are ship- ping hare on commission and the re- here, in so far as they have nothing invested in the merchandise do not care what they get for the turnips Just as long as they sell them and get their few cents com- mission. In other vmrds they invest nothing and have nothing to lose mdaiimgaininthewayofafew cents commission no matter at what- price they sell them." It is bard to conceive a more idiotic practice than conaimling tlimllll or Olll unsold, and this tremendous con- signing has only been made possible by price fixing arrangements at this end permitting unfairly wide spreads between prices paid the farmers here and prevailing market prices at ro- ceiving centres. ll'or instance, - tween November 0th and December 30th, less, the price paid to farmers hire was 16c. per bushel for turnips

flhg until December 'Ith, and 30c. to end

of December last, and during that same period the average selling price according to U. S. Government re- ports was rse. on Nov. 9th: srudu- ally advancing to 86c. by November 20th and to $1.00 the last week in December. Sothat during the time the price advanced 25c. per bushel in Boston it only advanced two cents per bushel to our farmers. Why? The only Justification the- shippers responsible can offer is the risk in shipping and the fact that lnosi; shipments were consigned and the strippers did not know for weeks afterwards what prices they would

be get, and they required an unusually

wide spread to cover these unneces- sary hazards. Naturally with a wide spread shippers were careless of quality-they could afford to take unnatural chances for they were gambling with the farmers’ money. I1; is hard to conceive. in view of the very heavy losses on consignments of potatoes made last year, why this practice should be continued, or why any shipper could be so a sly egotistical as to consider himself a better judge of ‘ ‘ requirements in New York and Boston than the dealers in these cities whose business ic is to know their market require- merits.

It is practically impossible to sell any turnips outright in Boston be- cause all the dealers there can get all they want on consignment, and if these "niggers in the woodlllllil have their way New York will soon be in the same shape. Consisllllls is a lazy man's way of getting rid of something he bought without re- quiring and does not know what to do with after he has bollsllt it. It's a. wild gamblers game and should not be permitted. There is no in- centive for anyme irl New York or Boston to buy turnips outright when his neighbour is able to cut the price 0n consigned goods.

I have never consigned a car un- sold for years and hope I will not be forced ‘into doing, so. My ae- sociates are shipping quite a num- ber of cars of turnips each week on an outright sale basis and they have not sold a single car which has not left a very reasonable profit on to- day's costs and lowered risks.

A week ago 1 suggested to some of the larger shippers that we all get together and agree oma buying price of 15o. per bushel. and am sure that if all shippers would agree to this we could easily move all the turnips we have at a profit to the shippers above that price. I have advertised all my loaders to urge the farmers to stop hauling until they can get 150., for we never had less competition than this year and a good prospect of wider mankets be- cause of the scarcity and prevailing high prices of. cattle feed.

What is needed this year is solid co-opsratiorl to stnp and start an energetic selling campaign so that the turnip deal can be made safe and profitable for all concern- ed, and if consigning cannot be stopped in any other way then the Government should be asked to tshe action. ' l I std, Sir etc,
