The man chosen as the head of the
association must be one who can hold
together all the members and smooth
out any dissatisfaction or internal
strife. Any new association can Sc
cure lessons from the Puyallup and
Sumner association, taking particular
notice of the fact that the early curb
ing of any such difficulties by gentle
but firm means avoids plunging the as
ISOLATION into factional war and pos
sible disruption.
Organization and harmonious action
on the part of the growers constitute
the qualities that make it possible to
realize the best prices on their pro-
ducts and to get into the markets hav-
ing the greatest demand at the time
when they have some fruit ready to
ship. Supplemented with masterful
management, this is the secret of the
great success attained by the Puyallup
and Sumner Fruit Growers Associa
ton, and what this organization has
done can be done by others.

Name of Cherry Wanted.
IL. e. LarSen.)


While the writer sojourned in the
hust1ing town of Wenatchee, gathering
subscribers for this paper, he inciden-
tally met H. N. Swartwood, a. former
Seattleite, who owns the Cherry Hedge
farm at Orondo, some eighteen miles
north of this city. Mr.. Swartwood has
variety of cherry which becomes
dark purple when ripe. Foliage is the
same as the Royal Ann, but slightly
yellower; fruit ripens between the 18th
and goth of May. So far he has been
unable to learn the name of this cher
ry. 1t was the first to become ripe for
the market in this valley. Mr.. Swart-
wood would like to hear from anyone
having a similar cherry.
Mr.. Swartwood has a large variety
of cherries, grapes, and other fruits,
and is destined to become one of the
foremost fruit growers in this section
of the country.

come familiar with the times and
places to market its products to the
best advantage.
The first year of its existence the
growers who were members of the
association had good prices from the
commission men of Tacoma. The next
year they overlooked the local market,
and had more than the houses in Sc
attic and Tacoma could use. They
thereupon commenced shipping as far
east as Yakima, then to Spokane, and
Butte. and Helena, Bozeman, Grand
Forks and Winnipeg. Where the indi-
vidual growers had no means OF keep
ing in touch with market conditions
and would glut one market after an
other. instead of sending wherever the
demand happened to be the best at
that particular time, the association
MANAGEMENT has been able to change
all that and enable the growers to
send their fruits where they were
sure to realize good prices for them
and not overstock the market.
In addition to doing the above, the
association took up the matter of bet
ter freight rates on the fruit. The
association secured concessions from
the railroad companies where the in
dividuals had been unable to accomp-
lish anything. In the beginning the
charge for a carload of fruit to Mis-
souri, river points, in refrigerator, was
1925, while now, as a result OF the
work of the association, the charge is
exactly half that amount.
The agents of the association have
definite methods of following the mar
ket conditions, and they make fire.
quent reports to the association, thus
making it possible for the officers at
the home point to send the fruit each
day to the place where it promises
to sell the best. The matter of grad
ing and packing, too, receives close
attention, each market being studied
closely and it's peculiarities in pack
ing, etc., being noted and followed
The fruit that comes to the associa-
ton warehouse is carefully graded
before it goes out, to make sure that

One of the things to contend against
has been internal discussions due to

we know of to eradicate them sue

In the early days of the Puyallup

send out members of the association
to the places where the fruit was to be
marketed. They have one man at Sc
attic and one at Spokane, each on a
salary, and each of whom deals with
the commission men at their respec-
tive places for the members of the as

The botanical division of the fed
eral department of agriculture has
sent representative to Seattle to look
up a suitable site on Puget Sound for
an experiment station for the Guilt
walton of vegetables and flower bulbs.
The matter has been under consider
alton for some time, and it is believed
that if the station is established it
will prove a great stimulus to the
growing of bulbs and rare flowers in
western Washington.
The Tietan irrigation project in the
Yakima valley, where the government
requires that 80 per cent of the land
owners affected by the system must
sign up for water before the work
can proceed, is being held up by a
half dozen owners, who absolutely re-
fuse to sign up. Their holdings ag-
gregate less than 1000 acres, and
those interested in seeing the project
go through hope to secure enough sig
natures to do without them, yet it is
to the interest of all, these six owners
included, to come forward and sign up
for water, even though they do not
intend to use water at once. Their
present attitude will retard develop
ment of the whole country.
The raising of the prune is an i'm
portant industry in several of the
counties of western Washington, but
there would be more people engaged
in the work if there were proper out
lets for the crop. The evaporating in
dustry used to hold sway in some
parts, especially in Whatcom county,
but this has fallen into disuse-and
the prune crop has precarious time
hunting a profitable market. 1t seems
to us the best thing that could happen
to those sections where prunes are
raised in large numbers is the estab-
lishment of canneries-not only to
handle the prune, but the apple, the
peach and pear, the strawberry and
all other small fruits. In Whatcom
county there are sufficient orchards
and the growers give them sufficient
attention to make long season of
operation for a cannery at several
points. We believe the same can be
said of most other counties where
prunes are raised.
