Friday, May 10, 1035 SOUTHERN OREGON MINER Page 2 Trio of Young Girls, Given Free Rein, Rob Home Here ASHLAND GROCETERIA It may not be generally known but Ashland is today producing radishes, asparagus and spinach that goes regularly to Klamath Falls and to California markets. The Pierson gardens on the Boulevard are sending a truck to Klamath twice a week loaded with vegetables. When berries come on they will send them three times a week They also sell some, but comparatively little, to local mer chants. A. C. Joy not only supplies many local merchants with produce but ships regularly by truck line to California points. He has no trouble in disposing of all he can raise. Besides these two the Dels- man gardens on lower Oak street produce considerable green stuff besides selling a large number of vegetable plants from their green houses. The Sanders green houses also, in addition to their flowers and flowering plants, raise many vegetable plants for sale. These plants sell better in Ash land than in many other cities be cause of the fact that a large num ber of the homes have good garden plots. As the people raise much of their own stuff it naturally is not as good a market for green stuff at the stores as where the same number of people raise nothing. Whether or not it would be pos sible to develop the business on a larger scale and to seek outside markets is doubtful, as Ashland is too far from large centers of pop ulation. Ashland does not begin to know the disastrous effects the slump had on the berry’ growers and gardeners near the big cities. The | market for berries in Washington. I around Seattle and Tacoma, fell off to less than ten percent of nor mal when people were no longer able to buy. The price, of course went to practically nothing. A Miner representative heard a > local farmer say that Ashland merchants would not buy local garden stuff; that they would rather get it from a distance. The reporter investigated. (The claim is made in probably every city in America. Certainly in every city in which the writer has worked.) Every investigation proved about the same results. Merchants prefer home products if they can get | what they want when they want it. The average American farmer raises garden stuff, including po tatoes. winter onions, etc., as a side line. He takes them to town only when he has to go to get gro ceries or have farm machinery re-1 paired, or for some other reason not otherwise connected with farm produce. A merchant handling green stuff, including fruit, must be sure he can get the things he can sell in proper quantities, neither more nor less. They must be up to grade and put up attractively. The loss on perishable groceries is the heaviest of any class of merchandise except, perhaps, la dies’ ready-to-wear. A glance at the garbage wagon with box after box of discarded vegetables and fruits is proof of this. Every community which has made a success in any large way of raising perishable products has made it by standardization not only of variety but of quality, and then has cooperated in marketing so that growers could enter the big markets.
