CLARKE COUNTY nmmr nnnii TnUML ARE 00 ORGANIZED r By J. F. Lngner Very auietly and, unobtrusively the prune growers of Clarke county, Washington. " have organized the Washington Growers Packing cor poration' upon a plan precisely simi lar to that of the Oregon fruit! grower. This association has only teen organized a few months, yet it will , handle about seven million pounds of prunes in its first year, worth probably about $1,000,000. More than 250 prune growers have joined the association already. In addition, many requests are coming j In from strawberry growers that they handle the Clarke county straw berry" crop next year. The organization is building a large I prune packing plant, with receiving sta tions in all the leading districts in Clarke county. It Is estimated that at least 15 receiving stations wilt be located in va rious parts of the -county. The plant j itself will be one of the most modern on the Pacific coast, and represents - the last word in a perfected prune processing - installation. . The Washington Growers - Packing corporation is - working in mony with the Oregon Growers' elation, and arrangements' made whereby -RC.

Who owns 120 . acres of bearing prunes, is largely given the credit for the success and the true cooperative spirit shown by! the Clarke county fruit growers. , j - . - ; "In all matters we are j working In close harmony with the Oregon Fruit Growers' association," say Newhouse. "We feel that the growers of both states have a common goal to attain, and that our interests are mutual." r i. Oliver Jones, prune grower of Felida, who for the last 12 years packed prunes for the California Packing corporation, will take charge of the packing of the Clarke county prunes this fall. EIPERT WOEK ASSURE!) " "This," ' sajd Newhouse, ''assures the most expert management in the proc essing and packing of prunes. ' - The corporation is incorporated for ' 140,000. at $10 a share, the growers pur- :. chasing one share of stock for every acre of prunes . or other horticultural product to be handled by the associa tion. The, "organization is directly guided by a board of trustees, composed of the following actual prune growers: Presi dent, I F. Russell, who owns 120 acres of prunes in the Washougal district; vice president, Fred Brooker, who owns . extensive prune acreage both in Clarke county and in Multnomah county; see-. . fetary, Henry Crass' of the law firm of Crass A Hardin, who has a fine young prune orchard near Felida ; William Wood, ', extensive prune grower 'of the Washougal, district; John Spurgeon, with one of the beet prune orchards In the Fruit Valley district ; O. C. Beall. owner Of a large prune orchard near Felida, and C. L. Da vies of Hazel tDell. owner of the largest commercial, small fruit farm in the : county, j This board of trustees is reinforced by: an advisory board, each member representing a dis tinct prune or berry district in the county. On this board are Charles Gib bons of the Washougal district, Harry Chandler of the Mount Pleasant dis trict John Beveridge of the Prune Hill district. C. Al Sperber of the West Mill Plain district. Charles Brown of the Hockinson district. George ; Law ton of the La Center district. J. I r: Douglas Of the Minnehaha district, Chester Pal mer of the Fruit Valley district, Chapin Afills of Lake. Shore, district, and Ben Touman of the Sara district. These men are all' actual prune growers. O. Jorge n Olsen, president of the American Security bank, is treasurer. , M. J. New house, for more than two years county -agent, is manager. K. J. Boddy, for mer correspondent for The Journal, as sistant to the manager. The office is located at 410 Main street, Vancou ver, Wash. .. . : TO HAVE BCT1NO BRANCH The association is jputting in a co operative buytngr branch and this year will probably handle several, carloads of vef,ch seed and later of course fertilizer and other requirements of its members. , The rapidity with which the organizai tion has been formed,' the loyalty of its members, the spirit of cooperation: so evident and the desire to work with the Oregon Growers' association assures tq the growers of Clarke county the maxi .mum return for time and energy expend - d in the production of prunes. It is one more example that farmers can organize for business as well as politics. P.

Joornali-iii Av very large part pf the. vege tables, lost In marketing could -be saved " fay harvesting the crop at the right time, using, care In handling, loading into cars, prt-coollng and immediate shipments Lack ofthese precautions sometimes results In the' loss of 50 per cent, of all goods shipped, and may be considered am Important factor in low , price, fo producer and high , price to con sumer. . These facts were brought out' In an investigation by Arthur. J. Tilton, a student in vegetable gardening - at the college, v Til ton's Investigations covered reports extending over many years and results given are - averages of a very large number of shipments. FIGURES PHOTE CASE In working -out results Tilton took lettuce- as a typical vegetable. Con ditions for this produce are ; practically the same with most other vegetables, potatoes being a notable exception., s The effect of pre-cooling before ship ment is shown by the follownig:' Extent of decay part of cron decayed on ar rival at market when pre-cooling is em ployed, 6,1 per cent" If carefully handled and 27.2 per cent If commercially han dled; non-cooled, carefully handled 8.18 per cent, commercially handled 44.5 per cent. Three days-after arrival the fol lowing percentage; of decay were shown; i re-cooiea careruiiy. handled 8.9 per cent, commerciauy handled . 9.9 per cent ; -ion-cooled . shipments carefully nanaied showed decay of 15.3 per cent, and commercially handled a decay of 55.8 per cent. ; :' -vp ,It is thus seen that the shipment of Hundreds or carloads of lettuce showed a loss Of more than 50 per cent when shipped in non-cooled cars1 and handled commercially. CAB LOTS PREFERABLY ; Another factor in the successful ship ment with minimum loss . as indicated by the foregoing data .is care in han dling. It will be. observed, that the amount of jdecay in the crop as com- nioiiiy nanaiea is about lour times as great as that where the crop is handled with proper care. Of this. Til ton's re poet ' says: ; '' "One of the places in which progress has been made is handling the crop in the field. Lettuce Is one of the crops that should be handled with great care. It has been found that by cutting the head In such a Iway as to leave the outer leaves- In the field, and discarding neaas mat snow signs of disease, a very heavy saving can be made." The shipping of crops Immediately after picking, inj car lots. Is a great advantage, but one almost impossible to obtain except! through cooperation. The reason for this is the large acreage required to supply car lot quantities for a single shipment. r' UNIFORM CONTAINER " ' ' The number of acres . required for shipment of the leading crops is given WITH NEW LEAGUE i AS SALES MANAGER I ft O. G. Simpson lias accepted the po sition of sales manager with the Oregon Dairymen's ' Cooperative association. He Is well fitted for his new position and the associa tion' is fortunate in securing : his services. ' ' : . ; . ,t , as follows : String beans, 25 acres ; cab bage, 40 ; tomatoes, . 45 ; cantaloupe, 25 ; green peas, 20; potatoes. 30 : water melons, 46 ; beets. 20 f "cauliflower, 40 ; cucumbers, 30 ; letxucei 15 ; green onions. 2S ; radishes, 25 ; turnips, 40. It Is not meant by this that the given number of acres will not produce more. but that this acreage is necessary to provide 'a carload ready for harvest- at one time. . ; . . t " One of . the reasons for increased num. bers of carload shipments, Tilton points out, is cooperation. By combining their crops the farmers in a truck growing district may obtain : carloads . for single shipment which swUl reduce shipment costs ; and lessen market losses. Another step In which , progress has been made in recent years is ' in the pack 1 or; container. This ; progress is tenaing to establish a uniiorm con tainer. On' this point- if is said that the public needs to be educated, since the majority, of, producers... are slow- to take up a progressive movement unless it agrees with , the ideals of the buying public.'. ' The "consumer buys frequently not -by the quality of the product,. but by what takese his . eye. ' An example of 'this given is the cantaloupe wrapped or unwrapped in shipment. OPEjr PACKING BEST 4 ! The public got the Idea that the wrapped product : is best, while results show that the percentage of decay - is much higher in ' the fruit -wranned for shipment. The following are results ob tained from ? investigation: Decay of cantaloupe wrapped; being overripe on arrival,; ;i 17.7 per-cent"! unwrapped, 12.6 per eent f partly' decayed1 oh - arrival. wrapped. 22.7 per' cent, unwrapped, 4.C per cent; badly, moulded, wrapped. 42,4 per' cent,' unwrapped, . 1.7 "per cent. .. Standard containers are, said . to be many and of great variety depending upon the vegetable itself. These stand ards have been developed with a view to keep the produce in the best condition an the war-, through- the- maaketftng'J process aptil It reaches the table of the consumer. Many ,! packs and containers are being tried out' all the time. The following packs are said to be the best for "the crop , named : Cantaloupe Standard, holding! 45 melons ; flat crate, holding IS melons f celery 14-inch crates and 16-inch crates ; asparagus has top three to four inches narrower at top than at bottom, j . ' , . It Is eaid that nearly all containers have solid ends With slats for sides.- COLS AIR METHOD In - order .- to get full . advantage of right : harvesting and good shipping facilities. It is essential that the crop be started to ' move -j Immediately 'from the t field and placed quickly under storage." . Large progressive shippers who pos-t sess pecessary facilities are already using these modern met Sods in prepar ing their freight for transportation be fore .tendering .the loaded cars to the railroad company 'i tor: forwarding. ; If shippers 'generally would , follow f the same example they would materially as sist In obtaining the most satisfactory handling - of their product to place it in i- the final - market in the best con dition, for whlcn' ' they would 1 receive the highest price. -Pre-cooling of lettuce or other vege tables should start as soon as possible after the cars have been loaded. : This has been foundj by repeated trials to be the ' best method,' The temperature of -the loaded car is brought down to a point 'where the' Ice bunkers will hold It while in transit. This is accomplished by forcing cold air through one end of the Tiunker and t having it come out , at me -outer end. i'" TWOER CEJTT BEDTJCTIO' ' An interesting point Is the result of Investigations in shipping cantaloupe tnose that have : to be shipped long dis tances, i - -' They should be picked just before the full slip .staged This was determined tjy experiments .carried on with canta loupe grown in (California and Arizona and shipped across the continent to New York.., ; , , : ioo eariy picking prevents proper coloring of the flesh an .makes the meat remain tough, and of a poor tex ture and flavor, The condition of the cantaloupe picked , ripe is left to ' the imagination. The value of handling is snown oy the fallowing statements: . The amount of decay in commercially handled cantaloupe is 8 per cent, while in. fruit carefully . handled the toss is but 4 per - cent- , Cantaloupe , commer cially handled, partly moulded 9.2 per cent;, carefully! handled, ,3 per cent.
