OPEN MARKETS.
The insistence on open markets indicates ignorance of modern economic systems. Waste fruit is certainly not cheap fruit, ae every woman has discovered. Xew Zealand produces abundance of good fruit, and poorer grades can be disposed of to factories for jam, etc. It is not logical to suppose that producers would find it profitable to handle waste fruit, and under present systems the fallacy of growers marketin? their own produce is apparent to anyone whose brain has not followed the example of his arteries. Open marketing in other countries is not an ideal marketing condition. It generallv serves the purpose only of disposing of stale and unwholesome produce.
