A FARMERS’ M ARKET^WANTED. _—„* • ,„ . . N.Z. Dairyman. A lady coirespondent-writes to the ;editor; from Motueka thus.:—- “ Sir : I have been in tending to write and thank you for your kind letter and. the help you gave by taking the raspberries you did. 1 hope the fruitgrowers are going to manage better this year than they pid last to dispose of all their fruit. This year I shall have some black currants and a few boxes of apricots and peaches. A friend of mine is anxious for me to.join with him and rear all kinds of poultry. I have a very good place hei-e and those I have here have always done well. X find no difficulty in rearing the poultry but I get such a low price for them which hardly pays for their food and the trouble of looking after them. I often wish they could be sold by" weight instead as it is now, for you get just as much for a fowl or duck' that weighs two pounds as you would 'fdrone that weighs six or eight and the shopkeepers do not mind if they are old or young, so there is no satisfaction in trying .to grow good poultry for the market here. Then there is little or no sale for our eggs here. Some cf uiv friends send their eggs to Wellington and have them sold by auction. For the iast six weeks egg? have only been selling at a shilling a dozen for fresh ones. I have heard fiom friends Wellington who write and say what a price they have always to pay for poultry and eggs, often three times the price they are here. I hope when it is quite settled we are to have a direct boat from here to Wellington once or twice a week we shall do better. Do y»m, think there would beany sale in Wellington for broccoli or any other kind of vegetable that could be sent over by the diiect boat. I often wonder how all the steamers and ships are supplied with all the poultry, eggs, and vegetables, and wish we who live over here could have a chance of helping to supply their wants. If I knew in time I could send the poultry ready for cooking. I hope the steamer will have a cool chamber for our goods. If iu any wav you can tell me how to dispose of fruit, eggr, and poultry you will he doing me a kindues*.” With regard to the sale of small fruits in Wellington and Taranaki districts we have no hesitation in saying that a hundred tons of raspberries could have been sold in the districts named last season if a fortnight’s notice had been given. The mistake farmers make is not advertising in the large centres of population. In Taranaki all the dairy farmers are buyers of fruit, but as the fruit season is also their busy season fchhy must have it sent them with as little trouble and waste of time as possible. Your black currants will be readily salable here. Say how many you will have and let us know. Buyers will readily be found. For both poultiy and eggs there is practically an inexhaustible market ; but buyers must know in advance the quality and quantity coming forward. In a few weeks it is probable a Farmers’ Union market will be, established in Wellington. In the meantime the Dairyman will be pleased to help farmers to find a market for their produce ; but in every instance the quality must be first class. There is no market for poultry “scrag” eggs of doubtful age, or inferior or half decayed fruit. —Ed N.Z.D.
