Important Announcement

For the information of all the
stockholders of the Valley Vege.
table Growers Association, Inc.
sale of the inventories and equip
ment was made to Alex Bordges
last May II, 1916. Only partial
payment has been received. As
soon as full payment is received
there will be a special meeting of
all stockholders.
The deal was made in compli-
ance with the action approved by
the Board of Directors. The idea
that the Secretary and the Man
ager of the Association have all
the say on the deal, as some PEG.
pie think, is all wrong.
Remember that criticism is only
good when well justified and
founded, and, above all, construc-
tive.

CLUBHOUSE PROJECT
DRAWS INTEREST OF
LOCAL LEADERS

What others say about the Com
munity Clubhouse Project:
N. Gapasin (Algona, Wash.) ::
Every Filipino in this vinicity,
especially those who have fam
lilies, should work together and
give their share for the proposed
community center. am sure
everyone can afford to give at
least 25 or so dollars. If we want
something for our own good, we
should spend for it,"
Mrs. Gasapin: Unless we start
something or do something about
the community center, we cannot
have one. What we need is action
and we start right now. Collect
donations now from those who are
interested, find a lot to buy and
start the ball rolling"
Tim Reyes. 1.-The few should
start so that the rest will follow

of the idea, but are waiting foi
the signal to go ahead"
Pete Acosta: II know most OF

less they see already something
good in it working. That is not
right. The fact that the project
is for the benefit of everyone,
and it requires the moral and
us, we all should shoulder the
burden and responsibility from
the start
c. Penor: Let us find a lot to
buy right away, then call a mass
meeting and prorate the cost OF
the lot and the building amongg
those who are interested"
S. Navalta: Il would like to see
the building within a year. 1t is
possible to have it provided all
of us will do our part and
shoulder the possibility. We
do not have very much money
but | am sure we can spare so
dollars each for a good cause
Mrs. Gladys Digma: THE Com.
munity Center project is the best
one to be undertaken among the
group. 1t is worth the bother
and the money that we are going
to spend for it. Let us not put
it off too long. Everybody is busy
now but we could start right
away"

There were several obstacles
placed, unwittingly perhaps, in the
paths of the Filipino farmers.
However, they were their own
worst enemies in that they
proved hesitant to accept the
teachings of agricultural science,
they were reluctant to join their
own cooperatives and when they
did form such cooperatives, not
enough responsibility was placed
in the hands of their officers.
Still further, to an extent, they
proved unable to distinguish the
difference between those whose
agricultural advice was faulty, and
of selfish nature, and those who
sincerely wanted to help, and yet
asked no reward for such help.
1t is said that criticism should
always be welcome, only If it is
constructive criticism and believ
ing in this axiom, the writer
wishes to offer this constructive
criticism, well mixed with serious
suggestions.
First, it is evident, the Govern
ment for some unexplained rea-
son, fully intends to send the Japs
back to this West Coast. When
they return, certain unacceptable
facts must be faced by our Bro
theirs of an heroic people.
These Japanese farmers have
produced very good vegetables,
they have "knack" of dressing
the produce up, and, more inn
portant, they have the money, the
farm land, the keen knowledge of
force feeding plants, even though
they have to a great extent, de-
pleted the soils to an alarming
degree.
What you Filipino growers
must do, by strict program of
cooperation or organization, is to
produce yuur vegetables by a sys-
tenn of cooperative and collective
effort. In such manner, you can
select your seed, your lime for
soil application, your commercial
ertilizers, your boxes, insecticides,
seed and other agricultural mn
teriaI and helps, to your best adj
vantage.
Your products can, as you have
already learned, from the efforts
of your fine young manager, Mr..
j. Maala, be sold to best .advan-
tage, by using an intelligently di-
rected sales program. and espec-
tally by his personal contact with
eastern buyers. He should, by all
means continue this missionary
sales work.
However, even the best efforts
of your we'll chosen officers can
not sell products which even you
yourself can only describe as "be-
ing as good as the average pro-
duction." To use a bit of Ameri-
can slang-you will leaIn ''the
