TO TAX TOBACCO FOR ROADS jpti PROPER PACKING OF IMPORTANCE Careless and Unfair Preparation Causes Immense Loss to the Producer. (Hy M. aonUHTS CONOVEn, Now Jer- Boy.) Uecauso of tho circuitous route from producer to consumor, farm products actually havo a greater mone tary valuo at tho consumer's end, al though thoy havo greatly deteriorated In qunllty, This Increase In monetary valuo Is duo to the merchant's profits, their cost of handling and tho losses which they entail In tho decay of tho porlsh able products. Theso conditions which decrease tho producer's returns and augment tho prlcb to tho consumer, can only bo re lieved when a more simple system of transfor from country grower to tho city retail buyer has been evolved. Theso Is, however, ono source of loss which can, to a certain extont, be on vlatod; that Is that loss of porlshablo fruits nnd vegetables which ariscB from carejess packing und bulky pack ages requiring rehandllng of tho con tents. Careless and unfair packing by tho producer receives retribution moro quickly than do tho dishonest, scant packages and measures of tho middle man except where special legislation is oporatlng against thom.
