Editor Statesman: f
! "Salem, 50,000 in 1930," is
good slogan and I believe it possi
ble to reach that goal IF IF the
20,000 people of Salem am 20,000
boosters, IF a market is developed
for our fruits that will give the
growers a reasonable return for
their investment and labor. j
I At present loganberries are
more o( a liability than an asset.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
have no more than one-tenth of a
crop, the price is less than five
cents fdr most of the berries and
many tons, are going to waste for
which there is no sale. V j
j i When we consider the history of
the loganberry for the last 10
years, this condition is not to be
wondered fat. Colossal blunders
have been; made, e. g.f last year,
berries were shipped green and
dried, the poorest crop ever for
handling in these ways, this year
neither j was done, the best year
ever for such handling. . The only
way to ! avoid such mistakes is to
study the marketing problem and
not wait till the crop is ready to
harvest land then decide on its dis
position. The two important ques
tions are, who and when: The
growers, asking the assistance of
the Salem business men, , would
answer i the first, as to the time,
it should be NOW. Last fall I
war told by -a number of Salem
people that it was useless to try
and interest Salem business men in
the farmer's problem's but "I'm
from Missourlt" and am thorough
ly convinced now that their assist
ance will be forthcoming if the
grower asks it. Let me say, how
ever, that I do not mean, financial
assistance, for their brains wqfald
be worth more to us than their
money.) . :
. One of our leading grocers said,
If we . could demonstrate to the
housewife of America what a beau
tiful and delicious jelly can be
made with bottled loganberry Juice
it would solve the problem." A
soda fountain man said of logan
berry prush, "People vould go
wild oyer; that in the east."
Strangers attending meetings of
growers might get the impression
that the only way to market the
berry was through the canneries,
but as a matter of fact Jit Is not a
"top nbtcher" In the can. When
properly dried it is the best of all
dried berries, and the juice, for
making fruit punch, leads all oth
ers. ; Also, the Juice makes a de
licious and refreshing cornstarch
pudding, especially in summer. ' ;
Another "sin of omission" is
not asking the counsel and assist
ance of the women of-Salem-.. Two
women's organizations .voted, to
lent any aid they could if called
on and no doubt every like organ
ization in 1 Salem would do the
same thing if the case was present
ed, to- them. -
Many growers seem to think
that the canners are to blame for
all our troubles, but, this is far
from the truth. We are not pay
irig sufficient attention to the
quality of fruit that we deliver, so
we'dTetter Vclean our own door
yard" first. ; 1
"Cooperation" is said to be the
solution; yes, but not merely the
banding together of the j growers
to demand a higher price, there
should be cooperation of all, from
the; grower to, the consumer.
, "To prosper or not to prosper Is
the question" for Salem. If we
let I the loganberry Industry die
(and its. very near dead now) then
we don't deserve to prosper. From
the marketing standpoint, we have
the best berry that grows, 1. e., it
can be handled in more ways, but
if nothing more is done in the com
ing year than has been done in the
year past towards extending our
market, then three-fourths of the
patches ; might as well come out
arid put In turnips. . ,' -
" We hear a lot about, why we
should trade with our home mer
chants. One of the best reasons
is, so that our merchants will
prosper and have good and attrac
tive stores for the thousands of
visitors we have every year, judge
then community ' largely ' by . , its
stores and therefore good stores
means more saleable real estate in
the;; vicinity as well as in town'.
Turn the question , around, why
should Salem boost for the farm
er? The answer is evident. Your
prosperity is even more dependent
on burs than ours is on yours.
Let's get together.;
