Problem Suggested for Definite Consid- eration by Apple Distributors as an Aid to the War Food Problem. I would suggest that this organiza- tion give definite consideration to the following problems in handling the apple crop this year: (1) The reduction of waste from bad handling in harvesting the crop and in preparing it for market in co- operation with the State and Federal Departments of Agriculture. (2) The storing of apples in the quickest possible time after harvesting to prevent deterioration from decay and ripening. (3) A close co-operation with the Bureau of Markets and Food Admini- stration in order to effect an equitable distribution of the crop both for im- mediate sale and for storage purposes, to prevent temporary gluts, short sup- plies and fluctuating prices. (4) The equitable distribution of the storage stocks monthly throughout the year, taken as a whole, and by in- dividual dealers, taking the condition of the fruit and the varieties into ac- count, in order to eliminate specula- tion of an undesirable character. This should be done in co-operation with the Bureau of Markets and the Food Administration. (5) The direct sale by the whole- sale dealer to the jobber or retailer and by the jobber to the retail trade or by the auction mthod to the job- bing or retail trade and the elimina- tion of trading in storage stocks be- tween dealers of the same class, ex- cept for actual trade requirements, i. e., the reduction of the number of transfers between the producer and consumer to the smallest possible num- ber.
