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. The Oregon

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.
