largely undeveloped, at least where the 

 development alTccfs the farmer; this 

 must be gotten to in some way. If this 

 could be (lone it would add enormously 

 to the population of the state, as I do 

 not believe (hat the East would be able 

 to compete with us on vegetable grow- 

 ing, providing it was put on the proper 

 basis. 



Our companies in which we are in- 

 terested and are selling agents for are 

 now selling all sorts of vegetables 

 everywhere throughout the United 

 States, and we have shipped many vege- 

 tables and fruits to foreign countries. 

 For instance, at this time we are mak- 

 ing shipment of a small ((uantity of 

 vegetables to Samarang, Java. There 

 are many places in the world where 

 vegetables such as string beans, car- 

 rots, parsnips, turnips, boiled cabbage, 

 sauerkraut cannot be obtained in the 

 fresh state and are not now large users 

 in the canned state, but it can be de- 

 veloped. 



Again, it is our opinion that New 

 York State, Michigan and several of the 

 other states that used to be enormous 

 producers of commodities for canning 

 factories are gradually going out of the 

 business, and will keep going out at an 

 enoromus rate in the future, and I do 

 not believe they can compete with this 

 country on the growing of berries, 

 neither do I believe that they can com- 

 pete on the growing of vegetables. 



The horticulturist, vegetable gardener 

 and farmer are indispensable to the 

 canner. It nmst be that these people 

 are on a basis where they can make 

 money else it is true that the canning 

 business would be valueless, and unless 

 the people produce the stuff he cannot 

 operate his plant. We are as nnich in- 

 terested in his success as we are in the 

 success of the plant, and we are look- 

 ing at all times to find crops we can 

 raise that will show us a profit and on 

 which w-e will be satisfied to produce 

 every year so as to make the business 

 stable and solid. However, a canning 

 business needs a large production; for 

 instance, at our plant at Newberg we 

 could use double the stufl" we have in 

 production now, and the same applies 

 to the plant at Eugene. Either of these 

 plants could handle fifty to sixty tons 

 of raw material per day; and it takes 

 an enormous production to keep a plant 

 like that going for a long season. 



These plants also represent a large 

 investment and must be kept busy as 

 many days in the year as possible in 

 order to show returns, l)ecause it is 

 necessary to handk' a wiile variety of 

 products covering the season's opera- 

 tion, and anything that Ukttkh Fruit 

 can do to stimulate pro(hiction along 

 the proper line should be very much 

 appreciated by the canners, and we 

 know it would be appri'ciated by the 

 glowers.
