JOHN CABAN
DONATES SITE
FOR CLUBHOUSE

The United Filipino Club of
Auburn and neighboring cities had
their meeting Thursday night,
September 26th, at the Fraternity
Hall Auburn. Mrs. Caban, Trea-
surer, reported that the club made
a profit of $500 at the Benefit
dance and sold $157.OO worth of
rattle tickets.
The members discussed the pro-
posed site of the clubhouse Be
cause there is no place been
been found yet for site, Mr.. John
Caban is willing to donate three
acres of his land for the club
house. If all Filipinos in the
valley are as generouse and as
cooperative as Mr. Caban in sup
porting the Community project,
there is not any trouble in rails
ing the money for the said pro
ject.
Now that the lot for the build
ing is to be given free, it is up
to the rest of us to do our part
and give our shares. All families
and those that own property "a
round this vicinity should give
more interest in the project.

pay for disposing them.
Since these problems are det-
criminal to both the grower and
his packer, it is very essential
that both of them must get to-
gether and come to a favorable
understanding that will eliminate
all these problems if they want
the pickle deal a profitable enter
prise at all. In order to do this,
the growers must unite together
with their packer to solve these
questions: l, are the packers
signing contracts according to
their requirement based upon their
supplies of contaiers, facilities,
and help? 2, are they grading the
pickles relivered by the growers
one hundred per cent? Or, just
only one or two sacks out of
the whole truckload? Are they
signing contracts based on the
average YIELD per acre or by ton
mage? 4, are the growers deliver
ing pickles according to the sizes
specified in their contracts. 5, are
they raising only the number of
acres they actually signed in their
contracts or more? Are they sign
ing to one packer or to different
ones?
Are they willing to work to-
gether for their own good?

The growers raised more acre
age than what they really could
take care of efficiently. Some
also signed up contract for three
or four acres but actually planted
five or seven acres. Some grow
ers also signed up contracts to
two packers Then they delivered
most if not all to only one COM
pany, the one who paid more
money. This caused an over sup
ply in one and a shortage on the
other.
Some growers made an average
of % to 40 dollars a ton. This
means that they lost 20 to 80 dol
lars in every ton. To make money
in cucumber the grower must
at least get an average of $500
up for return per ton and with
an average of at least 10 tons
and up yield per acre.
In order to make that average,
the grower Gust have plenty of
good pickers to go over his field
once in every three days. This
enables him to get just the right
size of pickles and also make
the patch Yield more. If this is
not done, the grower is not only
the losser but also his packer
This is true because he pays his
pickers of all the big yellow
cukes. Because the packers can
not use these cukes, he has to
