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.

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. '
