SINCE MAY AT FRANK CRAMER'S MARKET A8EN Many requests come to the market agent for information regarding the new potato grading and inspection law, and there appears to be a gener al mistaken impression that all pota toes in lots of more than 50 pounds must be state inspected. The law, which will go into effect September 15, is primarily for large shipments. It provides that in car lot shipments, or in quantities of 10 tons or m re, the potatcc . ' '1 be inspected by the state inspection de partment, according to the United ' States standard grades. There are four established grades, but grade No. 1 will take care of the most of the potatoes grown in Oregon. On smaller shipments, from 50 pounds to 10 tons, state inspection is NOT required, unless requested by the buyer or seller, but the seller is required to grade the potatoes when sold and on the sack or container put the name and address 3f the grow- er and the grade. If this is not com plied with, they shall be labed as j "culls". The state market agent will soon have ready for distiubtion for those who care for the information, a pam phlet giving the grades, fees for in spection and rules and regulations : by the market agent. Some weeks ago the market agent cautioned dealers not to place too much confidence in the newspaper reports that there was a large over-1 production of wheat in this country. Government reports now give out the figures that the production this year is short 69,000,000 bushels ov er last year and 42,000,000 bushies short of the five-year record produc tion, yet the market price is gener ally below the cost of production. Many local co-operative commodity organizations are coming into for mation all over the state and many others are being agitated. The marketing department urges the most careful consideration with these loc al organizations, as on their success depend perhaps state-wide associa tions later on, and on their failure the set-back of the movement for a long time. of utmost Importance j are economical administration and competent management. E.penses must be held to the lowest point un til the association grows and gains I in strength and there must be men at the head who are capable of work-' ing out a sales agency that will get ! the products to the final consumers at the lowest possible retail price. There must be free buying and nor mal consumption In order to create aemand and all possible unnecessary middle expenses must be eliminated if the grower Is to get a living profit and the consumer a price that he will pay. Clackamas county potato growers have a co-operative association well under way and are now signing up acreage. Washington and Yamhill counties are agitating the matter of' following suit and as the other coun- j ties organize, they will doubtless ; merge under one selling agenc . ; Some of the leaders foresee a state-, wide organization. Last Friday the P.-T. A. had their first meeting since May on the lawn at the Frank Cramer home. About 16 members were present and the business meeting was conducted by Mrs. Tioyal Rands, vice president, in the absence of Mrs. Eallenger, pres ide: t, with Mrs. Leo Root acting as secretary. It was decided to post poll' the annual teachers' reception until the second month of school this year in order that the teachers may become acquainted with the pat rons. Plan3 for the comfng year Were discussed and some good things are expected as the officers are lin ing up matters for the year, and some good, constructive work will be done. Delicious cake and punch was served, topped off with a lus cious melon. imiBiGcaiEs Germany's Most Important Com merciil City Shows ;ri:i'cas3 in Shipping Over li.13.
