We must get our product distributed among the dealers wno are strangers. To accom plish this ws must have the assistance of either tha transportation company or ths farmers. The writer feels sure that Oregon potatoes put Up properly will bring. when introduced, a -premium over any other west coast stock. If the farmers of this country will put up 60 carloads for distribution In Okluhoma, Indian Territory. Texas enc Louisiana the dealers will undertake to market. In the territory mentioned, either 10 cars or If necessary the whole 60 cars and ad vance the farmers 40c per cwt. at the time of shipment. .11 would have a bet ter effect if the shipments were made by every dealer. I believe by properly assorting and sacking In new sacks branded and num bered, that these 10 cars would bring oacK orders enougn to Dring down tne surplus of Oregon to the normal. Un less some thins is done and done soon Oregon will dump a large surplus of mighty good spuds, and it is a shsme to waste them. California cannot use them this year ana otner consumers witnin reach do not know us or the aual tv of tha a-ooda The railroad company cannot give us a rate in less tnan to days and it will then be too late to advertise our pota toes and get orders.
