THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1924. PAGE THREE Grading: Law Has Helped Quotations on Tubers in California. C. E. Sprncc, Market Acent In ft lengthy review of the potato eason of the Pacific coast states, R. L. Ringer of the federal service, of Portland, gives many interesting facts. He states that Orgon is con siderably behind Idaho, Washington, and California in production per acre. During the pant three years Idaho has averaged 182 bushls to the acre; Washington 145; California 140 and Oregon 97. Irrigation has much to do with the difference in yields, and Oregon's late crop matures later. Mr. Kinger states that Oregon has ft distinct place in the potato indus try, but that growers must get high er prices for the products to offset lower production per acre, and that this muHt be done by virile seed, bet ter product and high grading stand ards. The review states that State Mar ket Agent Spence Bolved a large part of the difficulties by securing federal co-operation, and that because of grading, standradisation and compul sory inspection Oregon's well graded stock soon advanced from the bottom to the top of the markets in Calif ornia; that dealers early found little difficulty in enforcing acceptance of cars bearing a Federal-State certifi cate, while many cars rolling in from Clark county, Wash., without such certificates, were a loss to the own ers when the market broke. The New Hampshire Division of Markets is showing its section of the country what really is the matter with agriculture, or at leant 'one of the things. It tafct-g for illustration the potato crop of Minnesota, and shows that the growers' portion of the retail price is 20 per cent, the country buyers' part lb per cent, freight 13V per cent, city distribu tion 50 per cent and retail price 100 per cent. Commenting on this con dition Commissioner Kelkner says: "Can any fair-minded person con sider our distribution system effi cient or just when the farmer who furnishes land, seed, fertilizer, labor and other necessary overhead, re ceives but one-fifth of the price paid by the consumer for his commodity." Co-operation in the east and mid dle west is taking big strides. A federation of all the dairy intersts of the New England states is under way with consumer ownership of the factories for the manufacture of but ter, cheese and by-products. Minne sota and Wisconsin are federating their creameries and cheese factor ies and propose to bottle and jell their milk, sell their cream, butter and cottage cheese. "The farmer who sees his market broken year after year by promiscu ous crop dumping and speculative marketing, and who sees the middle men receive approximately four times aj much per capita as the producer, is furl coming to learn that the prin ciples of co-operative marketing must be substituted for unrestrained com j-Mitim if the farmer Is to exist in this day of organisation." Washing ton State Grange News. How fast the farmers are learning is illustrated by a report from the Department of Agriculture of Wash ington, V. C, which states that up to April 1 of this year 10, 160 co-operative associations had made reports to that department. Doubtless hun dreds of others did not report. Out of this vast movement results are coming. Co-operators are learning. They are federating snd taking over the field where others have profited from re-selling their products, and when they learn to carry their pro ducts from the field to the retailer, then will they be running their own business as the manufacturing In dustries run theira. The co-operative Associated Grange Warehouse Co. of Seattle is the wholesaler for 66 retail stores of the state. The movement is fast going ahead in our sister state, because the producers do less talking and more organizing than in Oregon. Sixty five retail stores In a state, controled by co-operatives, are bound to help both producers and consumers by market regulation. PUBLIC HEALTH IS IMPORTANT From SUM Board of Healt. Public Health it the well being of the community. "Health ia mora than absence of diteaae. In Include! com fort, yigor, and ability to work effi ciently and ability to enjoy life. Modern public health tins changed the emphasis from 'control' to 'preven tion' and from 'cure' to 'keeping well'." Public Health Work is car ried out by the federal, state, county and city health departments, and by voluntary unofficial agencies. The federal health agency is the U. S. Public Health Service, a division of the Treasury Department. Interstate health regulations are promulgated and enforced by this department. The state public health agency in Oregon is the Oregon State Board of Health, which has been operating since 1903. Every state in the Union has an official organization to protect its people from diseae.

Varied Uses for Oregon Prune Shown in Recipes Fruit Valuable Source of Energy and Iron, Says Mrs. Jessamine Will iams in Extension Bulletin. Twelve ways of preparing prunes and 27 suggestions for using the Oregon dried prune are given in a new state college extension bulletin 1 written by Mrs. Jessamine C. Will- j lams, proiessor or nousenoia science. "Nutritious, wholesome and econ omical, say Mrs. Wiliiams of the dried prune. "It supplies energy and minerals essential to health and growth, particularly iron, supple ments milk in child diet, is a de sirable fruit for all children, and a mild laxative. It deserves a larger place in the diet than it now holds." Four to five prunes contain an much energy as a very large orange or banana, and as much iron, good blood and muscle builders, as three large oranges. As sources of energy and iron, prunes at 20 cents ft pound are cheaper than apples at 4 cents or oranges at lowest market price. Stewed as a breakfast fruit for chil dren prune are in the front rank. Wider use of prunes by the people of Oregon would have a beneficial effect ako on the industry. If they would increase their average eon sumption to 10 or 12 pounds of dried prunes a year they would eat a 7 million pound hole in the state's an nual 5H million pound crop.
