C. G. Campbell, living about a

just why excellent results
should have been secured from
this fertilizer in the upper valley
when we have been unable to get
results from it around Kennewick
especially in view of the fact that
we have been getting outstanding
results from available phosphates
in the Kennewick area and the sta
ton at Prosser reports very little
results from this fertilizer around
iProsser and further west, is a
question which we have been un-
able to answer. The salesman cam
not understand why we have not
been able to get results here, but
nevertheless results from actual
plots fortified have been practi-
cally no increase.
The fertilizer used here was the
very finely ground and heated
black raw rock phosphate which
was sold in the territory last year
and is one of the same fertilizers
being handled this year.

10000 WASHINGTON DAIRY
FARMERS ARE MEMBERS

The United Dairymen's Associa-
ton of Washington has been rec
ognized by the Federal Farm
Board as the regional marketing
association in Washington for the
dairy products. Assistance was
granted this association so that it
was able to purchase the assets
of the Consolidated Dairy Prod
ucts, Inc. in Seattle, which had
been acting as the marketing
agent for the individual .associa-
lions for some years. The purch-
ase of the Consolidated Dairy
Products, Inc. insures a sales out
let for the dairy products of about
10000 producers in Washington
and 1000 in Idaho.
This association is the sales
agency for the Whatcom, Skagit,
Snohomish, Yakima and other CO.
operative dairy associations as well
as for the Seattle Milk Shippers
Association. A loan has been
made through the United Dairy
mems Association to the Yakima
Dairymen's Association to erect
a new milk plant.

STATE HORTICULTURAL
MEETING, DECEMBER 1-3

The State Horticultural Associ-
alton meeting will be held in Yak
ina December first to third this
year. The Association meeting has
been attracting greater attention
from year to year, and undoubt-
eddy a number of growers from
this county will want to reserve
these dates for attendance at this
meeting this year.
The exhibits of apple varieties
and bug sports which was held IN
connection with the association
last year will be held again this
year. All growers having plots of
any varieties of Sports to exhibit
are requested to save them for
this occasion or send them at once
to Wendall Brown, District Horti-
culturist at Yakima. In making
these exhibits it is well if the
growers will make a plate of the
red strain and also exhibit plate
of the ordinary strain for the var
iety for the sake of comparison.
Programs for the meeting will
undoubtedly be available sometime
during the early part of next
month.

and these are being marketed at
from SOC to 75c per box. In one
community we saw a very fine box
of Starking which had cost the
dealer $1.40 box. These had been
grown along the lower Columbia
on the Oregon side and were ex-
ceptionally well colored and almost
free from scab and so far as we
noticed entirely free from worm
injury. We understood that thous-
ands of boxes of apples are being
moved into the larger communities
by truck from orchards Of eastern
Washington and selling at from
6Oc to SOC per box. The average
consumer on the west side is not
giving a great deal of attention to
real economy in the purchase OF
these products. buying at the
cheapest price per unit rather than
purchasing the quality which
would actually give him the best
per dollar expended. Conversation
with county agents and others m
Dictated that under the present
marketing system it would be
rather difficult for growers to
really find a market at reasonable
figures, for good produce moved
into communities of the west side.
It would seem that the Wash
ington Boxed Apple Bureau might
help considerable in the develop
ment of apple markets on the west
side, as the general impression
gained from many of the markets
is that good apples are just not
available at a price at which they
should be available considering
the price the grower gets here.

No. Is. Of course there is always
the possibility that potato prices
may advance but an actual study
of the situation for a period of
years shows that only about once
in twelve years does it actually
pay to put potatoes in storage and
hold, rather than sell at the fall
prices. Indications are that this
would be particularly true this
year due to the large crop.
Only in two places were Jona-
than apples found on the market
and in one Of these instances the
retailer had paid $40 box and
in the other $3.50 a box. In both
instances they were being sold at
the same price-25c per dozen. The
stock was poor, we doubt very
much whether people living in this
territory would have purchased
any of the apples in the condition
in which they were found. In sew
eral places we found jumbled
packs of Yakima or Wenatchee APP
Piles marked C grade or better,
but not having the appeal for the
better class of trade in any COM
munity. Nearly everywhere we
found the same complaint, t h a t
good apples were not available,
and when they were occasionally
available the price was so high
that consumers could not afford to
purchase. The average price on De-
licious was from S2.75 up and in
only one instance did we find them
quoted as low as $3.50 per box. A
favorable season brought a fair

WHAT OF RAW ROCK
PHOSPHATES?

Statesmen are in the territory
again this fall making sales of
raw rock or heated phosphate. We
met one of these statesmen in the
White Bluffs territory last week
and he reported that farmers of
the upper valley as being very well
satisfied with the results secured
from the phosphate purchased last
year. A farmer Of that commun-
ity had visited several of these
places in Yakima and also was
very favorable to the use of this
fertilizer. When our opinion was
asked as to it's value and the re-
ply given that we have not been
able to see any benefits, and conse-
quently figured that it was almost
worthless, the salesman felt that
we were just antagonistic to the
material. We, however, went into
detail to explain to him carefully
Just how this had been used in at
least three places in the Kenne-
wick area and none of the mater
ial showed any benefit which could
be noticed. When the question was
put to him as to what he would do
If he were in our position he adj
mitted that he would have to do
the same thing as we were doing,
and that was recommending
against it's use.
Let us point out again that
where this was used on the Lande
place on two duplicate plots with
duplicate plots of superphosphate
on alfalfa that there has been no
appreciate results from the raw
rock. During the second cutting of
hay the superphosphate plot on
which the fertilizer had been ap-
piled this. year for the first time
had cut five times as much hay
as the raw rock plot right along
side Of it.
While visiting Otto Reese on his
farm we asked about the use of
phosphate there on new seeding of
alfalfa and he showed us the strip
fortified with Ammophos A, this
being used because of his inability
to get superphosphate, the growth
and stand on the ammophos plot
was far superior to that where no
phosphate had been used or where
