MARKETING MANAGER
MAKES STUDY TOUR

o. R. Irwin. manager of the Big
Horn Marketing assertion has but
recently returned from a tour of
the Rocky Mountain states. visiting
reclamation projects in Idaho and
as far south as Texas. MIR. Irwin
was in Cody Monday consulting
with E. E. Newton. president of
the association and with Leo Werts.
of Powell. a member of the board
of directors.
Mr.. Irwin studied the bean grow
ing business at Twin Falls, Idaho
where last season twelve hundred
cars of beans were shipped to mar
ket, making probably the greatest
shipment of a like product from
any one community in the world.
Beans are grown on the Twin Falls
projects. which is very similar in
both soil and climate to the Sho-
shone project. in large acre tracts,
and are considered a very profitable
crop.
The marketing manager also went
south and studied both farming and
marketing problems such as he is
interested in. He reports that his
association has a splendid financial
rating, and is able to receive top
prices for all products to be shipped
from the Basin. He was here this
week in connection with the car of
live poultry which is being loaded
out Of Cody, Powell, Greybull and
Basin.
