THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON -SATURDAY, APRIL 30. 1821. i EFFICIENT MARKETING BETTER FARMING 6 (COIL COOPERATIVE PLAN OF MARKETING IS PRODUCT OF WEST By It. C. Stewart Th Western producer; Is the real leader In the formation of coopera tive commodity marketing: organiza tions. For years all types of com munity, modal, partisan and other forma - of 'cooperation have been tried out in many, parts of the coun try, but less than 1 per cent of them have been successful to "any great extent. ' ?' Cooperative marketing -under a term contract with the " commodity used as the baaia of the association, first won -prominence In California and was latfr introduced Into the Northwest by this paper. ; " -CAMPAIGN IS WAGED At first the idea had rna-ny enemies and but few supporters, out : after : a lengthy educational campaign had been carried on in Oregon Country Life, and in one or two other farm papers, which later fell into line, the support of the extension service of the Oregon Agricul tural college was secured, and when the farm bureau was organized it began to lend its assistance.. Meanwhile several associations had been started and were operating successfully. . In the April issue of the Kxtension Service News. a. summary is given of the accomplishments of the first six associations organized. The Oregon Dairymen's Cooperative league now has more than 3000 member, representing about 40.000 cows, and will handle more than $6,000,000 worth of dairy products this year. It is believed that the league will handle during 1921 more cheese than any other cooperative organization on the Pacific Coast. It possesses 27 plants at this time in which cheese and butter are manufactured. ' MEMBKBSHIP KM The Oregon Growers Cooperative as sociation has an approximate member ship of 1600, representing nearly 80,000 acres of fruit, and it is estimated that it will handle between $2,500,000 and J3,000,000 worth of prunes, pears, apples, berries, cherries, walnuts and broccoli. The association now owns 15 packing plants and five prune driers. The Pacific Cooperative Poultry Pro ducers' association has a membership of about 350 poultrymen, representing more than 210,000 bens. Last year the organ ization handled 782.000 dozen ' eggs, valued at $432,000. and thia year it will handle more than double that amount. he Oregon Cooperative Grain Grow ers' .- association ought to do much to improve grain marketing conditions. Although having started its campaign but recently, more than 3,000,000 bushels of wheat have been signed up on the wheat contract. PROGRESS IS MADE The Oregon Wool and Mohair Growers' Cooperative association started its cam paign a few weeks ago and is making good progress. Although started pri marily to assist the sheep men and post owners of Southern and Western Oregon in the marketing of their prod uct, it has created some.' interest in Kastern Oregon, many Inquiries having come from that section regarding It. The Oregon Mint Growers" Cooperative association expects to have practically every mint grower in Oregon sign up by the middle of April. The majority of the producers have already sent in contracts with their signatures attached. The territory covered by this association includes Lane. Benton, Linn, Marion, PollC Coos and Klamath counties. It is. only In these counties that mint in commercial quantities is produced in Oregon. ; . ASSOCIATIONS SEEDED The plan Is to have the mint oil re fined at Independence and sold under the association's label to pharmaceutical houses, jobbers, druggists and . others who are In the market for this product. With a goad yield, the association will handle between 23.000 and 30,000 pounds of peppermint oil this season. This oil varies in price from $4 to $5 a pound. Many other associations should be formed in the state in order to success fully market commodities which are bow a drug upon the-market. In fact, plans are now under way for the organisation of several new commodity associations, and it is predicted that within the coming year all important farm com modities wilt be sold through a co operative marketing association. Growers' Products Will Be Inspected ; By Expert on Fruit Dallas. April 30. On invitation of the fruit project corimittee Clayton L Long, fruit exteuiTfon peclalist with the Oregon Agricultural college, is coming into the county for the three days of May 10, 11 and 12. No meetings are contemplated and the entire time will be given to calls upon growers ana tne examination of their properties. This is the only time this year that Long will be available to go Into individual's problems. Dr. Rosenberger Has Look at Guernseys Wllsonville, Or., April 30. rr.

April 30. At a meeting held in the office of- the Polk county farm bureau recently. R. A. Ward of the Oregon Wool & Mohair Growers' Cooperative association ex plained the organization of the as sociation. .Western Oregon breeders are forming their own marketing machine in the cooperative market ing association. Heretofore wool 'from the various growers has' been consigned to the mar ket in such a condition that it could not be used. i WOOL CAREFULLY GRADED The qbjec of the cooperative associa tion is to get the wool on the market in such shape ; that the mills can use It. The wool is consigned by the individual growers toi their particular selling agency, after which it is stored in a United States licensed and bonded ware house. It is then graded under the as sociation's directlon.by a United States licensed grader, is weighed and com bined with the association's other lots of. similar grade. i In this way, the association is able to offer seven or eight grades in lots large enough to attract the largest wool buy ers and mills in the United States. RECEIPTS Oa LOANS The association can finance growers on the United : States warehouse re ceipts which it secures, and which are better security for loans than are pri vate 'warehouse receipts, as the banker can depend that under the United States warehouse act the wools are actually in storage in 'the quantity and of the grades represented. The cost i of marketing through the' association is simply the cost of 'main taining the ' grower's marketing agency. This should amount to less than one fifth of the present cost of marketing. 4 Oregon Jerseys Get!

I . 0 TIMELY ADVICE TU BROCCOLI GROWERS ;"Inr the planting of broccoli seed, do riot drill in too thick. The seed should be placed half an Inch apart in the 'rows and these rows should be about 12 inches apart. This is the advice to prospective broccoli growers given ty Harry E. White, of the field force of the Ore gon Growers Cooperative association. As, soon as the seed has sprouted and is barely an inch high, it should be hoed and cultivated. In selecting ground for planting broccoli seed, "care must be taken that the soil is rich and that it will not dry out too quickly. - If it is 'desired to use but' a small piece of ground for germinating the seed. White says that the rows may be made three or four inches wide and that plenty of room must be given for the seeds to grow and develop, as it is very' much like cabbage or kale. But aa.it is more expensive, it is best to give each plant room to develop to prevent loss. MOT IX MAT The best season for planting broccoli seed is from May 1 to May 15.. as by planting during the first half of May, the plants will be ready to be trans planted from the 10th to the lath of July, White says. From his experience in broc coli growing, he has learned that earlier transplanting often causes the plant to head out too early. Broccoli heads are a tender plant and if headed too early, are more than likely to be killed by cold weather in February. To mature just right. White says the heads should not mature until in Aiarcn, when in this climate, there Is very little danger from severe weather. In transplanting early in July, it has been found best to plant in check rows three feet each way if it is desired to cultivate both ways. This cultivation should be continued every ten days until about September 15. Then the crop is laid' aside until cutting and marketing time in March. Incidentally, it may be said that the grower should have a sufficient supply of plants to re-set where any have died withjn a week of planting. COYER CROP AIDS White has found it good practice- to sow vetch between rows of broccoli which will serve as a cover crop, and prevent the soil from packing. It also aids much in the harvesting as in March there is likely to be light rains. The cuttinBseason depends, of course largely on the weather, often varying from three to four weeks. With condi tions ' as they were this past season cutting began March 10. Under ordinary conditions.

Two hundred and fifty crate to the acre is. regarded as a fair crop, although this past season, many growers cut 300 crates to the acre. The pst season was a .favorable one for broccoli growers. Through the sales department of the Oregon Urowers Co operative association, 8a per cent of car lot shipments in the state were bandied and the price ranged from $1.35 to $1.75 a crate, with an average of $1.40 a crate. As about 300 crates were gathered to the acre,, growers netted a good margain this" past' season. GRADING REXES ADOPTED In order to establish a. market on a safe basis and to prevent claims for poor grades and arrival of broccoli in poor condition, grading rules have been adopted by the association. Oregon grade No. 1 is as follows : Sound. fairly perfect heads, well blanched, compact. No signs of wither ing, free from leafiness, or segmented curds. Also free from blemishes or dis colorations. 1 Each head must measure In diameter six Inches and no more than nine inches.
