Points TO Cabbage Deal
Brown White stated that the grow
ers must be thoroughly organized 70
pGt over the potato deal. He pointed
to the present condition Of the cab
hage deal as an example Of the lack
of organization. stating hat the
potato deal would be in worse shape
liz the association did not control the
production. Referring to last sea
son. Mr.. White said that the Valley
growers received more for their po-
tatoes than growers in any other
section Of the United States.
The association has had many
hard knocks, and will encounter
more" he said. but It should be
strong enough 10 withstand them. Its
strength and the efficiency with
which II vii function depends entire
~ upon the cooperation IL receives"
Cleve Tandy called attention to the
fact that paintings this season have
been the earliest on record. stating
that unless the marketing is effec-
tviely controlled the deal will not
prove profitable. especially during
the first weeks. Approximately
1904 0 600 bushels Of old potatoes
remain to be marketed, according to
government reports, and these are
expected 70 be a factor in connection
with the early potato deal.
No change in the commission for
shippers was recommended by the
meeting. Under the rule passed az
the annual meeting in 1927 dealers

In all the northern part of the potato
section dealers are allowed IS cents

oring an increase in the vegetable
