There are evidently some points of difference between the growers of Rogue valley Tokays and the people . of Portland that should be cleared away before another shipping season ' The profit in a crop depends just as much upon the marketing of It as upon the skill and effort that are put Into Its production. Portland onght ' by all means to extend her home pa tronage campaign to all the districts of the state, and to practice fully the doctrine which she so eloquently preaches. - The Courier earlier in the season took the Portlanders to task for havlag fallen down in their dls . trlbntlon of favors, and in having dis criminated against the Rogue Tokay. The statement that thousands of dol lars of Oregon money could have bees "kept at home - had Portland eaten Rogue Tokays is as good today as it was two weeks ago, and the next ten months should be kept busy in solving ,the way to. keep the dollars at home ". In 1915. -The display of Josephine grapes at the land show has been an - educator to the people of the state, 1 and the way is now paved to a better co-operation between the producer and the Portland consumer. -. The Portland aide of the question is given in the Oregon Journal of Sun ' day by Hyman H. Cohen, the finan . clal and market editor of that pub lication. Mr. Cohen writes as fol lows: . "A short time sgo bitter complaint was made by grape growers of the Rogue River valley that Portland would not purchase Its fruit and that while this market was annually buy ing many carloads of California grapes there was no disposition to purchase the home product - "On the surface this is an indict ment against the wholesale fruit sellers of Portland, but the facts tell an entirely different story. "Inquiry among the commission men of Portland failed to find more than three that had even been offered Tokay grapes from the Rogue river . country. Some of the leading whole salers did not even know that the Rogue section had more thsn a limit ed supply, as during former seasons, for sale. The fact that there was to he an Increased output of grapes in the Rogue river section was known perhaps only to the growers of that district, and the facts were kept close st home.

"A package of California Tokay grapes will average fully five pounds mora fruit thsn the Oregon package. The sourer of fruit naturally wants to get aa much as possible for his money, ; therefore, all conditions being equal, selects the heavier package. Much more care In the packing of Oregon grapes and this applies to other sec tions as well as to Rogue river will result In producers and shippers re ceiving not only better returns for their supplies, but a more regular market "Style is 75 per cent of the prob lem in fruit marketing and those that put up the best looking package are the ones to secure the price. While quality muBt naturally go together with style, there are numerous in stances in the wholesale fruit trade where Inferior quality stock has been sold at materially higher prices than superior stock, simply because the fruit was packed in better style. "No denial of the fact is made that for color and flavor the Flame Tokays of the Rogue river section have all other producing units beaten to a fraxsle. The Rogue Tokays packed and sent out by California Interests alone indicate this fact "Rogue river Tokays have not only the color and the taste, but they have the keeping quality so essential to long distance shipment "The marketing troubles of the Rogue river section can not be laid at the door of Portland merchants, the rule Invariably being that the grower must look for his market The market looks for the grower only when supplies are too small for the demand. "There are a number of brokers In Portland who sell fruits and produce to the wholesalers, therefore the Rogue river section would have no difficulty in securing adequate repre sentation bere." r FAY EXPECTED TO REVEAL "HIGHER UPS" III BOMB PLOT (By United Press Leased Wire.)
