Editor Statesman:
I Your letter of the 17th inst.. at
hand. ' As you wdated m to write
about the celery industry, I only
hive a few years of experience In
celery .growing; but -1, have had
some experience fn other kinds of
vegetable growing;' with my own
anguage ( Japanese) to answer
your! letter.
' I have lived and grown all kinds
of vegetables around Portland.
Oregon, for 10 years, and have
marketed the same In the Porl-
and marjeet, wnicn, i mougnt was
the only way' to dispose of the
same. During that time I often
thought of our -future market for
vegetables when we had, more
than wV could .sell in the Pert-
land market.
Tbe vezetable growing industry
in the State bi Oregon is Inst start
ed and is new, to the state. Often
times we had more of vegetables
tfian' people needed; but wo did
h6t know-how 'to ship the same,
batck east. We'd id riot know ho'w
to pick some of our vegetables
for shippieg. We -have -grown
more and more o vegetables, but
never . thought of . marketing, . in 4
which we made a big mistake.
I , have heard many times that
dealers said that they wanted to
ship certain kinds of vegetables
far away, but they could not. on
account of poor jacking. . ...
Increasing produce could not
depend On a' small market," but
there were more of vegetables
year" after year, and some of -the
merchants were getting the best
of It; so we had to find a new way
of disposing of the same.
Must liaise Choice Stuff
Shipping vegetables far away,
we must have choice stuff and
good packing, which we are trying
now on our celery, and we have
more call for it year after year.
We have had no trouble yet in dis
posing of our eelery.
