I cannot bay good apples at the grocery next my store," he complained, "unless I pay Alaska prices for them, 5 cents each. Yet here they are rotting on the ground." Mason jumped to the conclusion that the farmers did not try to save the apples, or to help tha city man and his family get food. They are both selfish and lazy," he asserted when be told of the experience. Simon Newcomb lived on .a farm near whera Mason drove that Sunday. He had been in town Saturday afternoon with a load of apples. Tha groceryman looked them over, and offered Newcomb 60 cents a bushel. Newcomb had read In his farm paper that apples were scarce, and he thought he ought to have a dollar a busheL But your apples are pot sorted.

All wrong, almost from the start Just as the foregoing illustration makes plain the problem more than pages of generalities, so the experience of Jamestown In its first Furra and City festival will show hoerthe effort to get together succeeds better than more pages of platitudes. First" of all Jamestown had a live board of commerce, and a secretary with a vision not bounded by the factory chimney of the city nor its city limit. Secretary Fred Clayton Butler had been studying aome United States census reports on Chautauqua county, N. Yn and lie discovered that most of the rural towns of the county and all lta rural villages, but two or three that had a lot ot factories, had decreased In population In the last three decades. lie did not need to be told about the Increase In cost of living. That was In surveying the field he found that there was an active apple growers' association In Chautauqua county, also a milk producers' association, a farm bureau, a lot of big granges, and a number of farmers dubs. The manager of the 'farm bureau was Hawley B. Rogers, and Mr. Rogers was called Into conference wltb Mr. Butler.- "You do not need to tell me anything about decreasing rural populations," Interrupted Rogers, when Bntler started In on his pet paragraph. "I knew all about that before you city people awakened. But what can we do about ltY' Right here the city man had the farm bureau man beaten. "We can get together and find ouL" was hts reply.
