People have always con sumed fruits and vegetables and probably always will, but the business of national marketing of its in ception with the invention and improve ment of the refrigerator car in the closing years of the last century. In the past ten years the production and shipment of fruit and vegetable products has doubled; more than a million carloads being transported to consuming centers last year. Co-operative and corporate plans of mar keting each have their advantages, with possibly the co-operative form more in the public eye at present due to governmental publicity and governmental desire to assist the producer. I have served under both types of organization in the twelve years since my graduation from M. A. C. and while it is a little difficult to draw any well defined conclusions from that experience, I am inclined to think that for the future horticultural graduate greater opportuni ties for service might lie in the co-opera field. The co-operative marketing tive is distinctly a youngster organization in business in this country today. To make it fulfill all its possibilities we need a gen eration of co-operative education amongst producers in the science of co-operative production and management. That there is a real science in the handling of co-oper ative enterprise is evidenced by compari son of the outstanding results of the prov en successes and failures marking co-operative history. Granting, then, that there is a real science here, the college trained man ought to carry a dis tinct advantage in applying his talents in this field. If he has the desire and ability to serve, the reward will take care of itself.

Hardie Sprayers have always enjcyed the reputation for unusually long life through perfect alignment, micrometer fit and protective housings.

TLJT ini The Choice of Michigan State College When Michigan State College of Agriculture and Ap plied Science decided to build a greenhouse range, King Greenhouses were chosen only after a careful study, in vestigation and comparison of all types of greenhouses. The choice of King by M. S. C. and many other leading schools, col leges and universities is proof that for strength and brightness and for general growing purposes King Greenhouses are never excelled and seldom equalled. You, like hundreds of other growers in the United States, can confirm the decision of your Alma Mater by choosing a King when you build your next greenhouse. Catalogs fully explaining and illustrating why King Greenhouses are better will be sent on request without cost or obligation to you. "When you think of good greenhouses think of King."
