ed to such nicety-that the 'Shielc

sufficient guarantee of quality.
"These will be 81 widely advertised

brands of potatoes it produces, and
all of this will be the result of the
honest efforts of the grower and the
dealer to give each other a square
deal and unite to promote the inter
ests of each branch of the co-opera-
tive plan"
The advertising which the ex-
change has sent forth is very attract

as it looks in the picture.

record made during it's first year that
there is every promise that it's mem
bership will be extended during the
winter to include every farmer in
the valley.
The things which it has actually
accomplished may be summarized as
follows: it has created a market for
small potatoes which formerly were
practically a total loss; it has made
a casual and rather unsatisfactory ,
crop a most important and paying
one; it has enabled potato growers to
their market and to know
they. are going to command a top
price in return for the high standard
of service rendered; it has brought
additional thousands of dollars into
valley and has also brought to
merchant a product which he can
recommend and sell with the
acme of satisfaction and an assured
During the winter and spring,
warehouses will be built and
will be laid for activities on a
much larger scale than was found
possible during the past year. Dur
ng the coming months also, the Flat

rom coast to coast both for it's quail
ty and the reliability of the brands

The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1920-12-09

AS a result of the activities of 8
comparatively small group of farm
erS and business men, the lowly Mon
tana spud bids fair to become as ia
NOUS as the Sunkist products of Cali
fcrnia, and as justly so. In the Flat
head valley, a cooperative movement
has been inaugurated which not only
solved the potato marketing problem
in a most effective way, but which
also will probably spread over the
state and in the years to come, be
used as a model for other co-opera-
tive marketing associations.
For many years, the farmers of the
Fiathead valley have been raising ex-
cellent potatoes. These they would
bring into Kalispell or Poison and the
merchant would pay as much for
them as he consistently could. The
merchant had lots of trouble finding
q market for them, and often lost
money. To him, the potato business
was a nuisance and a necessary evil.
On the other hand, the farmer fire.
quently thought he had been robbed
and dissatisfaction was about equal
on both sides.
The potatoes brought to market,
while some of them were very fine
specimens of the genus spud, were of
assorted sizes and quite frequently
sack would contain two or three
varieties. They were not marketable
as a fancy or standard product and
the market for them was limited.
AS a solution of the problem, the
county farm bureau proposed to es-I
tablish a potato exchange which
would put the growing and market
ing of potatoes on a highly efficient
and business-like basis. Memberships
we're solicited and a large majority of
the potato growers of the Valley de-
cided to cast their fortunes with the
experimental organization.
A committee to investigate the
possibilities of such an exchange
travelled to many parts of the United
States. They studied the methods of
marketing where potato producing
had become a profitable enterprise
and found that in such sections, GER
tain well-established rules prevailed.
They found that the first step in
a marketing enterprise

and standardization, goods

FARMERS SHOULD :
FEED SICK TREES
If THEY ARE NOT WORTH NOUR-
TSHING, THEY SHOULD BE
CUT DOWN FOR FUEL
Wood at Five Dollars a Ton Is Not
a Bad Substitute for Coal, Which
Today Costs Ten to Twelve Dollars
a Ton Laid Down ON the Farm.

People are willing to let a tree
starye to death, but when it comes
to letting an animal starve, it is an
entirely different thing. They either
feed or kill the animal. Why not be
as humane to the tree and cut it
down to end the slow death?
A tree does not show starvation as
much as an animal, but as soon as
it shows lack of vitality it should
arouse suspicion on the part of the
owner and he should ascertain the
cause, taking steps to remedy it or
else cut down the tree.
Burn Insect Pests
Some Montana towns have paved
their principal streets. 1t is due to
this that the food supply of many
trees is cut off and they are left to
slowly starve. These half alive trees
attract insects and become infected
with eggs and larvae, so the quicker
they are cut down and put into the
cellar or wood shed the better. Gre
nation is the only real cure for such
pests.
"The survival of the fittest'' works
as we'll with trees as with humans.
Those that are best grow high, over
shadowing the rest, and use more
than their share of the food in the
soil. Consequently the rest of the
trees are small, and are sometimes
diseased. This not only spreads tree
diseases but it spoils the appearance
of many lawns and yards.
Vary in Fuel Value
The fuel value of wood ought to
induce any n to cut down detri-
mental trees. They vary a great deal
in the fuel value for heating pur-
poses. The lighter woods-cotton-
wood, box elder and soft mapIe-are
of less value than the evergreen var
By the old system wood was sold
by the cord and it was necessary to
know the species to know the value
of the wood, but now much of 1t is

The services of H. M. Louis, a
market expert, were secured at a
figure which was considered a
strong inducement to him to come
out to the Flathead valley and take
charge of the exchange. When he
arrived in Kalispell, it was at the
end of the of the driest and most I'M
favorable seasons that the section
had ever experienced, yet the potato
crop was showing the best promise,
from a producing standpoint, OF any
crop in the valley. The quality was
fine, but there was no market.
Investigation convinced Mr.. Louis
that Montana potatoes had no supe-
riors and that the complaints of the
growers of unfair treatment and dis
elimination at the hands of the local
merchants were not justified. He
found that it was just a simple prob
lem of marketing.
Louis Immediately outlined his
campaign and decided upon the va
rieties which would most readily find
a market. He divided the growers
into groups and instructed each
farmer as to what variety he should
raise. Seed was secured and the
crop was planted.
The next problem was to provide
storage and warehouse facilities.
Financing this part of the scheme APP
peared almost impossible, as the far
mers were not in a position to alb
sorb the stock of an affiliated stor-
age company. The business men of
Kalispell and Poison came forward,
however, and joined with the farm
ers to finance the building OF the
necessary warehouses.
When the crop came in, the farm
ers were instructed in grading, and
the potatoes we're sacked according
to size and variety in sacks bearing
the trademark of the Flathead Valley
Growers Exchange and the
name and address of the grower.
The entire crop was sold before it
was brought in and there was also
4 big demand for the small potatoes
Tor seed. This demand was created
by well-placed advertising and by
personal solicitation of large buyers.
The demand for the Flathead prod
uct, it is confidently asserted, will
gradually increase as the brands be-
better known to the consumer.
