GEARY TELLS GROWERS
OF AUCTION SYSTEM

Without attacking the prevailing
methods of distributing northwestern
apples other than characterizing them
as failing in the objects desired by the
producers of the fruit, Arthur NJ.
Geary, former graduate student body
manager at the University of Oregon,
Saturday afternoon made his first ap-
pearance in series of lectures in the
box apple districts for the boosting of
the auction market method.
Mr.. Geary, recent graduate of the
Columbia University. who while a
student of that institution for the past
two years has been studying the apple
markets of the larger cities of the At
lantic coast, told the growers the auc-
tion system of disposing of huge guam
titles of fruits of other than apples was
constantly on the increase. In his en-
deavor to free the minds of the apple
growers of their prejudice of the auc-
tion system, he pointed out that such
concerns as the California Citrus Asso-
citation, the Florida Citrus Association
and other large marketing agencies
were making use of the auction exclu-
sively.
''ln times gone BY" said MIR. Geary,
lit was possible for jobbers to pay the
growers good price for their apples
and at the same time make good profits
for themselves. AS we have seen by
taking glance at marketing conditions
the past few YET RS, this time has
passed. After a study of the situation
it seems to me that the auction system
is the only feasible plan by which the
apples will be properly distributed.
when ! visited the larger cities like
New York and Boston, where the larg-
er portion of smaller dealers do their
buying exclusively through the auc-
tion, one of the first questions | asked
them was why they did not use some
northwest box apples. Invariably they
replied that they we're not able TO Sc
cure them at auction. Thus we miss
getting our fruit before the entire
trade; our outlet is limited 1t is a
fact the foreign element in the United
States comprises one of the biggest
| factors in fruit consumption. IL is re-
markabIe how much fruit the east side
of New York consumes. The push cart
men always have representatives on
the auctions.
"Now, | would not advise anything
revolutionary. would not urge any
| individual to ship to auction. Ii must
be done under some such guiding influ-
ence as the recently formed Growers
Council. of which W. H. Paulhamus is
the head"
Mr.. Geary was accompanied here by
his cousin, DR.. h. l.. Geary, of Seattle,
Wash, who owns ranch in the Un-
derwood district, and his brother, Ed
ward Geary, an orchardist of the Med
ford district.

VERMONT POTATO KING
Is A LOCAL VISITOR

Mr.. and Mrs. Luther Putnam. of
Cambridge, Vermont, we're visitors in
the city last week. Mr.. Putnam 10
lineal descendant of General Putnam,
of Revolutionary fame. Back in his
country he is known as the potato king
of Vermont, having taken the first
prizes on all varieties at the state fair
for 90 out of 26 years. He is promi-
nent apple grower and owns at this
time 40 acres of bearing orchard. with
over 100 varieties. He says that he
has experimental for years ard had at
one time over 500 different kinds of ap-
Piles on his place.
Mr.. Putnam is in close touch with
the state university work, and is vice
president of the Vermont horticultural
Society. He and Mrs. Putnam have
been making an extensive trip through
the west, leaving their home May Ia.
Secretary Scott Of the Commercial club
took the visitors through the lower
loop. They we're much impressed with
the valley, and Mr.. Putnam promised
that other visitors would come this way
from their part o. the country. The
long and hard winters of Vermont. he
said, were driving her fruit people to
warmer climates.
His three main varieties are Mackin-
tosh Reds, Shows and Baldwins. Spitz-
enburgs. he said, would not thrive in
their climate.

PREDICTIONS WOULD
BE FOOLISH -MOOMAW

1T would be foolish for me to at
tempt to predict possible conditions of
the European apple market for the
coming year." says A. W. Moomaw,
who for the past two years has been in
charge of the distribution Of northwest
ern box apples in London and other
European markets. 'Yes. II would be
as foolish as the predictions Of last
season, when on sizing up the situation
was of the opinion that not more than
$50 carloads of our apples could be sold
to advantage across the Atlantic,
When the season closed we found that
we had disposed of more than three.
quarters of a million dollars worth,
something around $50 carloads"
However, the foreign representative
of the northwestern growers, who was
here visiting Wilmer Sieg, and who left
Sunday for Spokane, is optimistic over
prospect, provided no unforeseen cir
cumstances are brought about by the
European war.
Because of the vast expenditures OF
money by the English government for
the manufacture of munitions of war
the conditions of the lower and the
middle class English were never bet
ter" he says.
