THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1942 NOTICE TO PERSONAL PROPERTY OWNERS Every person in Umatilla County owning or having in their possession on the first day of January, 1942, any assessable personal property is required by law to report same to the County Assessor not later than March 1. 1942. Since the new law requires that the personal assessments be made in January and February, it is not practical to use field men, also field men cannot purchase automobile tires. New people in the County and those having no personal assess ments last year may either call at the •office or write for a blank. All mail I ed blanks should be returned as soon as the values can be determined. We earnestly ask your cooperation in this matter. D. W. DAVIS, County Assessor.

While QUALITY IS BASIS SPRING CROPS TO I most of these crops are included in | increased production goals this year, BE INCREASED TO OF SUCCESS WITH wheat is expected to show a decrease POTATO MARKETING MEET WAR DEMANDS of some 10 per cent in this state, ac- The ability of Oregon potato pro ducers to deliver a quality product to consumers will determine whether they can continue to maintain a pro fitable market in the face of stiff competition from other areas. Such is the conclusion reached by Oregon State college research men who have just published the results of their study of the marketing of central Oregon and Klamath basin late crop potatoes. In the foreword to this publication, issued as station bulletin No. 400, Dean William A. Schoenfeld, direc- • tor of the experiment station, points out that this is one of the few stud ies undertaken by a public research agency in which the major objective was to study the quality of the agri cultural product at the point where it reached the consumer. In making the study, Dr. D. B. De Loach, agricultural economist, and Gordon Sitton, research assistant, examined numerous samples collected from wholesale and retail outlets along the Pacific coast at various seasons of the year. They found that the principal causes for deterioration in quality were rough handling, causing broken and shattered pota toes, improper storage that caused dry rot and soft rot, and improper display in the retail stores, which re sulted in greening from excessive light. After studying the condition of the potatoes at various stages from the shipper to the consumer, the investi gators made a number of recommen dations as to how excessive deterior ation can be reduced. The fact that Oregon producers have been able to build up markets in an extremely competitive field is a tribute to the basic quality of their product and of their ability to pro duce at relatively low unit cost, the bulletin also points out. One tangible result of the study already has been the change in state rulings to permit Oregon growers to ship their potatoes to terminal ports in used bags, as was permitted al ready in California, when the pota toes are to be repacked to meet the requirements of the army or navy.
