Smaller Spud Packs Urged By RUTH KING TULKLAKB The changing . trend in household capacity for storing potatoes and the urgent need for smaller and attractively processed packs was presented to the Tulelake Potato Growers Com mittee' meeting' here Tuesday by Frank Jenkins, publishers of the Herald and News, Klamath Falls. Jenkln's talk centered around the modern housewife who takes home a can of French fries or a package of frozen masted po tatoes for-a quick meal and the fact that the producer, In order to keep pace, must modernize both marketing processes and ; adver tising. ' ' A quality product, he said will not be uniformly absorbed by the retail market and the consumer without a farflung advertising pro gram, and advertising alone will not sell a bclow-par product to the public. -. : Elmer B. Firlle, economist with the California State Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Marketing, outlined a method of promotional advertising and a research pro gram through the State Marketing Act, a move that provides an avenue for voluntary taxation by any organized eroup of growers to provide funds for an advertising :progrmm, Independent of state or federal restrictions. Such a pro ,srm would be handled by the growers with the state acting only Jn an advisory capacity, ' A motion carried for appointment of a committee to seek further In formation on the foaslbillty of de veloping an advertising and mar keting program in cooperation with the Klamath Potato Growers. Flrtle Indicated that cooperation of growers on both aides of the slate line, In California and Ore gon, would be necessary to get Male approval of the proposed pro Gram and to make it effective. , California, Plrtlc said Is anxious to line up with Oregon on a re wards program on Klamath pota toes. . There was also some discussion of re-instating the federal market ing program as a balance for des icnaling size and pack of potato (shipments. No definite action was In ken on this angle of the meeting. During the meeting, Don Maun In. manager of the Kern County Potato Growers, phoned a sugges- tlon that a meeting be held In the Immediate luture on the Pacific Coast with representatives from the several potato growing districts of i West to study orgnnlzallor; of a Western Potato Growers pro-gram. The Tulelake gathering picked up the ball with the suggestion that a meeting be tentatively set for Tulelake. Aug. 25. with the Tulelake Growers as host. Invitn- tions will be sent immediately to representatives of potato groups in Washington. Oregon, Idaho and California to meet here to sound out reaction to the proposal. Maupln's call Indicates, accord lug to Clifford Jenkins, that Kern County recognizes the need for co operative efforts in thrashing out production and marketing prob lems as a unit wllh other producing areas to get maximum returns. Grains h j CHICAGO GRAIN . CHICAGO Wl Grains developed a firm trend after spending most of the session hopping about aim lessly on the board of trade Thurs day. The most strength was shown by oats, largely on belief a govern ment crop report next week will record a sharp drop In estimated production of this grain. Soybeans also developed some late strength, and crrn scored a slight advance. Wheat lagged behind other cere als. It was strong at the opening, but quickly gave up its advance. Some grain men felt reports of stem ruit damage In the Northwest had been overemphasized. Wheat closed 'a-i lower, Sept. 1.95 -!, corn '.a-'i higher, Sept. 1.40'i- oats t higher, Sept. 76'j-H, lye unchanged to 1 cent higher, Sept. 1.24"2-ai, soybenns 1 to 2 cents higher.

FIELD DAY VISITORS at the Tulelake field station will have a chance to see such examples of work as that pictured here. This picture shows vigor differences between two lots of good seed, showing the results of different manners of handling. Tulelake Field Station Slates August Field Day By bi;kt iioyle The public is invited to a field day at the Tulelake Field Station to be held Aug. 11 to observe and discuss the work being done here on potatoes and horseradish. We limited ourselves to Uiese crops this year, since barley was Well covered at the recent barley meet ing, at which lime a visit was made to the station to observe the barley work. ' A summary of six years experi mentation on various fertilizers on potatoes will be presented. This covers yield, storage ability, and ner cent ol diifcrent grades pro duced by using different fertilizers. We will also observe tne experi mental potato storage cellar and Weather ?

Another thing which will be ob served will be vigor of various po tato seed lots as influenced by dif ferent kinds of storage and handl ing. Many dliferent potato seed treatments are experimented with and these will be observed also. We have several different varie ties of potatoes on the field station, which include: Huina, Kencbcc. Sebago. Onario. Katahdin and Me nominee. These different varieties show different growth characteris tics and one of them may become an Important variety in the near future In California. Horseradish will be of interest to many this year. Tills crop is growing nicely on the station and looks very promising. It will be ob served and discussed on this field day. Enclosed Is a picture showing vigor dilferences between two lots of good seed. The differences In growth and stand between the row on the right and the row on the left is due to some handling prac ticed by the two different growers. We will study the factors which produced these differences . and some of these things will be dis cussed at the field day. On The Record mm'iis HUTCHISON Born lo- Mr. una Mrs. Boll Hutchinson.
