FAR SUPERIOR
TO COLORADO
Former Greeley Farmer Says
Deer Flat Country Yields
Half Again as Many Potatoes
to Acre.

Caldwell, Oct. 1s-The widely famed
Deer Flat potato belt tributary to this
city which produced a crop this year
which brought in a revenue to Its grow
ers of approximately $1,00O,000 has the
Greeley, Colorado, potato belt skinned
a city block for the production Of po-
tatoes in the opinion of c. f. Oellien,
one of the prominent growers of this
section after having been engaged in
the industry at Greeley for six years.
In commenting upon the superiority
of the Deer Flat belt over the Greeley
sector today Mr.. Oellien said ITO be-
gin with, owing to climatic conditions
there is a better growing condition
for the crop here than in the Greeley
country. Then as consequence of
the superior climatic conditions, we
have here a better marketing con-
dition, as we are enabled to plant
earlier and our crops mature earlier
than do the crops of the growers of
the Colorado sector The general av-
erage crop per acre here is about $50
sacks or 800 bushels while in Colo
RADIO 100 sacks or 200 bushels is a
strong estimate. Internationally the
soil here is better and more adapted
to the production of the crop. 1 re-
gard the future Of the industry in
this section as great"
This year Mr.. Oellien had crop
of 81 acres which he marketed about
5000 sacks, realizing for his crop ap-
proximately $4,000 In his opinion one
of the problems of the growers de-
handing the greatest consideration is
marketing and he thinks that it will be
solved through cooperative selling and
other cooperative methods which will
be employed by the Boise Valley Po-
tato Growers association, which will
be perfected In this city in its organ

pRuNES BRING
$500 PER acre
70 LAFE Boone
|Jhirty-acre Tract Between
Meridian and Boise Nets
Prominent Ash Park Grower
$25, 900 This Season.

Meridian, Oct 1S.--Lafe Boone, one
pf the best known Italian prune grow
ers Of the Boise Valley, whose orchard
Of 80 acres is located near Ash Park
between here and Boise will realize
net revenue from his crop OF this
year to the amount of 5000 or more
than $500 for each acre of land in the
orchard. The crop amounted to $50
tons and Mr.. Boone states that he will
met the sum mentioned for the crop.
He has operated his own eVaporating
plant and has utilized quite a lot Of
prunes outside of his own crop. For
la car of green prunes which he mar
keted in Chicago he received $24OO and
flor eleven tons he received $1,000 or
I&1700 after expenses of shipping had
|been met
He says that the market this year
has at no juncture justified price of
less than $50 per ton to the growers
of the Boise valley. He emphasizes
that the only solution to the marketing
problem lies in the Organization of a
cooperative company by the growers of
this section similar to the cooperative
Creamery company which operates a
chain of cheese factories throughout
the Valley and he is impressed that
more profitable sales will be made by
them If such company is organized
and 1t establishes evaporating plants
In the various communities. 1t is his
Opin bn that the same measure of
success will attend such a venture as
has followed for the dairymen in the
wake of the organization of the cream
cry company. Emphasis is placed by
Mr.. Boone upon the fact that the Boise
Valley is one of the very few sections
In the United States which are adap-
ted to the production of the prune and
that 1t holds first rank because of it's
prunes possessing a greater per cent
of sugar and therefore standing ship
ment better. He takes an optimistic
view of the industry and believes that
1t will continue to prove profita BILE.
1t may he stated that Mr.. Boone's
view of the necessity of forming CO.
operative organization in order to Sc
cure equitable prices is concurred in
by the vast majority of the growers
in the Valley and that such a move
ment is now under consideration. The
feasibility of disqualification for
necessary industries for the Valley has
been abundantly demonstrated by the
Cooperative Creamery Company which
Is formed entirely of farmers of the
company has cheese facatories.
