THE ONTARIO ARGUS, THURSDAY, MAY L THE ONTARIO ARGUS perfection of a marketing plan which will prove successful. And, so long as the de mand for the product really exists, there is no doubt but that the fruit growers will solve the problem of supplying the demand in a manner that will allow the grower a fair profit for his labor.

C. MARSH TWO m mmm BBawaawamawasBBBj bsbbj bjSjbj The Market Question A big question to all fruit 'growers of this section of the country is "What is the best selling method." Is the fruitgrowers organization the best marketing agency; is it best for each grower to market his own fruit; or is the market afforded by the com mission houses the best. It seems that the latter has proved it self questionable and growers in general view this means of marketing with skepti cism. Individual marketing, accomplished by the grower taking hia own fruit to mar ket and disposing of it himself to the re tailer or the consumer, has in many instan ces worked suceesslully. A contention against this, however, is voiced by many growers, who claim that they are not in a position to spend a month or so each year in a trip to market with their fruit It is also claimed that if every man sold his own fruit in this manner, tham would be much confusion and contention among growers; that markets in some places would become congested with an over supply of fruit, and that the scheme would not work out successfully. It is also a fact that many growers are engaged in general farming, and cannot profitably spare the time from their ranches to take their own fruit to market. It seems that the popular plan through out this district, is to market thrhugh the agency of the fruit growers association. This association is composed of the grow ers themselves. The growers control it. ind as a whole, they have much faith in the scheme. It has been nointed nut rW season the scheme did not work verv feu, out it is claimed the sellinir plans of the association have not been uufiirely per fected, and that last year mbteikes were lade, which will be avoided in the future. There are certainly mm noints in favor of organization. Ami sellinir asso ciations in Other lintw f onafonvnr kavo een worked success full v. An excellent example of this is to fe. found in the citrus )elt of California. The fact renvims that, the Rimm nf A Larger Paper This weeks issue of the Argus marks the beginning of a new epoch in newspaper publishing in Ontario. Commencing with this issue the Argus will continue as a seven column newsprper, which is the first time that so large a newspaper has been publish ed regularly here The enlargement of the Arirus is a art of the fulfilment of a well- laid program for the improvement of the paper, and additional improvements will be made from time to time. The Argus is gradually beidg ntcogniz as the best paper published along thus sec of the Snake river. The office has received numberless coi igratulations on the steady improvement of the paper, and the large number of vol untary subscriptions received in the business office, is very gratifying to the new management. If u mane Sunday May 23 ill - Under the leadership of the American Hnmane Soc iety of Albany, N. Y.., Sunday, May 23, wil!. be observed all over the United States as Humane Sunday. ITie Oregon Humane Society has issued personal appeals to all the churches of Oregon. Humane Sunday will be obseived all over our country with services in the interest of the work of thus society, which is to prevent cruelty to children and dumb animals. This wee're. is being devoted by the American Humane Society to humane edu cational work in all the schools of our land. Jt is hoped thus to reach the great mass of religious and educational thought for the ct.use of mercy and kindness. The Oregon Humane Society receives recognition in our state laws and by a state appropriation to carry on its work and prosecute cases of cruelty undo; city and state law. Another phase of the national move ment is that this entire week shall be devot ed to teaching kindness to animals in the homes acid schools. t Patriotism will not be allowed to come dusity on the Fourth of July in tario. t I ' . be-On- Japan's demands on China are so care- I lirllv friniwl nu nnf r. t L-. in ti,r rh:in he fruit businc depends largely upon the .everything insight. ipN mmmm 4.
