C. M. FILSON BENDERS
GREAT AID IN MARKBTING
THB BIG PBAR CROP
Tbe marketing of the eattrmotu paar crop ot Marion eonnty was greatly eaeooraged this week Uirough the Umely eftorta ot C. M. -rilson, of the agricultural depart¬ meat of tbe C. A B. .1 railroad. Mr. Filson wired B. S. fltephens, of the C. A E. I. stating that 600 cars of pears would go to waste in Marlon county unless relief came at onoO. No market was In sight, prices offered being only about SO centa per bun dred. Hundreds of acres ot pears would have rotted in the field at this prica. Mr. Stephens in tura wired bia agents all over tbe C. A B. I. system asking their cooperation In finding a market (or Marlon county's pear crop. The result was that tele¬ grams have come to Mr.' Filson (Tom buyers in different states and that several buyers are now here trying to contract (or the orchards. The agricultural department of the state sent a man here, also a representa tlve from the Chicago Tribune came at the same time and these twro men With County Agent Blackbui-n went over the country and contracted for (our carloads to be shipped ut once td Chicago, where under the diree- tlpn of C. M. Filson, wbo went to Chicago Tuesday, dtatributlda waa made there on the market. The price has raised to vo cents per hun¬ dred and better, and It would seem tbat there will be a market trom now on (or tbe pear orop at reason¬ able prices. H. C. Fairfowl and Mr. Filson think that this work has sav¬ ed the pear growers over $20,000 In this county. The cars that go to Chicago will be labeled with large painted signs reading, "Products from Marion County."—Salem Re¬ publican.
The above statement shows what cooperation can .do between the far¬ mers and railroads. Mr. Filson is the agricultural agent o( the C. A B. I. Ry. and is on tbe job all the time, going up and down the line, coming In personal touch with the (armers and their needs. By doing this he has saved to the farmera o( Marion county twenty thousand dollars' worth ot perishable products that otherwise would have rotted tn the (ield. Tbis is real practical conser¬ vation.
Mr. Filson did not stop when he secured cars (or shipments. He (oi¬ iowed the first car loaded to Chica¬ go, found a market (or tbe pears at a (air price, sold tbem, collected the money and had It on the way to tbe producers lo just 43 minutes.
Mr. Filson was ably aaatated In his active work by County Agent Black¬ burn, by a representative ot tbe state agricultural department. As a result 600 cars of pears will be -shipped from Marion county, briagiag to the growers $20,000 that otherwise would bare beea a total loss.
This one tranaaetioo alone empha¬ sises the necessity of Ctay county having a farm agent and the Balti¬ more A Ohio railroad having a farm agent on ita|^|pe every day in the year. This SavTiig qf the pear crop In Marlon c6unty through the ef¬ forts ot Mr. Filson is only one of the many things he bas done for far¬ mers along the line of the C. A B. I. railroad. He has secured on the road spectal trains for prompt abip- plng of milk, preached limestone and cows to the tarmers, and this indus¬ try along the line has grown to big proportions, within the past four years and is rapidly increasing. Wske up Ctay county tarmers.
