There ia erreat walua In hnranrta of farm products, and a survey of the market
for many yeara clearly show how branding not only benefit, the producer In
dollars and cent, but tlo ta an aid to the consumer In Intelligent buying;.'..
- Tillamook some tljne asjo clearly demonstrated the money
value of its brand of cheese. For years that noted section has
been producing: a super quality cheeae which had reputation
all Sta owru , Before It lnaug;urted its present ,, system- of
tarnpina; the word "Tillarocok' on every cut of cheese., the
organization has been somewhat handfoapped t times by the
substitution i at tha nroduct ttt other makers for tha nated
,y& nrndurt. l . " i " I .1
i Since the new system went into effect the demand for
a'",-', i Tillamook cheese haa trained widely, Tillamook ha been able
, , f to sell its product from 1 te 4c a pound j above what other
; :: , cheetse haa , been aellina". ; simply because the organisation
. y J : turned out a quality that1 was super fine and the public has
Mi-' learned to call by brand instead of simply asking for "cheese."
I Eg? AUa Effect!- .
' -1 A local organisation some time ago adopted a label or
v brand fer its best quality eggs. It haa been found that while
vi there have been plenty of eggs upon the market, the public
more than the mere name. ' In dollars and cents the orran-
esation has been the gainer, and the public that wanted a strictly good egg could

a name on each sack of No. 1 stock tiu'-t it marketed, but at the same time it gave
to each grower f the (organisation the right to use either a stated number or
name on each sack. . This placed responsibility upon the grower ta deliver only
No. 1 onions in such package, and the reneriU trade has come to rely upon the
organization label aa meaning the very best onion quality. WalTn Walla growers
some time ago began to brand their onions, and since thorn the organization's

The Deschutes section of Oregon produces a superfine) potato that commands

winter wheat ws redooed by th dry late fall

a loss; of 18.500.O00 acres. o 22 per cent, in
the main breadstuff swmdy of the country. To
this loss wss added 1,500.000 acres less tn

from making up the teas In wheat and oata by
an increase in com the last planted of tin
important crops, the gain being only 1,580,000

: Low Price gxtMct '
"I fear to tell what I believe the price of pees
and beans will be this year, aaid Mr. IMscalU
"Of eoun we cannot expect -way prices, which
rather 'spoiled' th farmers, la 19 IT farmers
got as high as 11 sad 18 cent a pound for
beans. Before the war I raised bean tn this
county and w thought we we doing vary well
when we got 3 Vi cents for bean, which retailed
at 5 cents., or 20 pound for the 'dollar. Qf
Coast Bean Growers Fear

course: labor ia higher and land more valuable.
and ta east of production has increased.
' OelenUl PHoaa eare '
"But the sees test factor is the Importation of
peaa and bean from tbe Orient. Farmers wonld
be frightened if they knew tbe prices at wich
Japan 1 ad Chines bean nd pea : can be
bought by tbe shipload delivered t Seattle of
FofUa". j
Mr.1 priseoll bag just, returned from a trip
through the Clearwater conn try, having visited
th bean growing section of Latah, Clearwater
and ether ooupUe ef tlu part of th state. He
y tha been crop ia much below normal in point
of acreage, being not more than 40 pec cent of

eonditiane are hardly up to the average,: although
ha regard them aa ''fair la the Clearwatar dis
