Show DKY1SU FiiHT. Itn-l'ul Hint a tn Itil-liam City Fruit KillSOI!. One of the leading purchasers of dried fruits in Utah has been expressing ex-pressing his views and makes the following truthful statement: "Your people," said he, "dry your fruits in a manner to make it unsighlty. It comes to our markets , looking more like the cores and parings than the fruit itself. Now the California peaches, apricots, etc., are cut in halves and look large and tine. There are no quarters and curled up pieces. They are all dried up very carefully care-fully with the flesh side up. Your people as a rule let your fruit get too ripe; it dries very dark, loses much more of its weight, and al! of its attractiveness. The Utah fruit is reported as being much finer flavored than the California fruit, but the hitter reaches the market in such line shape, that it makes iN own sale. If the people of your country want a steady market mar-ket for their fruit they must adopt the best methods for drying nnd paeiiiug.and it really eoslsbut little more to make a profitable business out of il. than to do as is now done. If thev will not do this tle-v musi be eout'-nt. with poor prices and j uncertain sales. j "Tell vour people that it depends un the shape in which they ship their fruit whether the market is j permanent or not."
