Board of Control Movement 



Views of H. F. DavidsoD. 



No market expert is a greater ex- 

 ponent of such plans for the future 

 than H. F. Davidson, who says: "The 

 apple growers of Wenatchee. who 

 have formed a cooperative league 

 among themselves, are moving along 

 in the right direction. If their efforts 

 are successful, a wonderful step for- 

 ward in the solution of the problem 

 will be taken. The growers of Yak- 

 ima, althought they have not fully 

 evolved their plans as yet, are getting 

 together on similar lines. This trend 

 all looks good. 



"The Rogue River Vallev has been 

 very badly disorganized. So much so, 

 that much of its fruit has been mar- 

 keted on a diastrous basis, after ad- 

 vances have been made by commission 

 houses. Such [ilans are very poor and 

 will not only continue to be disastrous 

 to the growers of the Rogue River Val- 

 ley, but will have a serious effect on 

 the industry in other districts, where 

 comparative varieties are produced 

 and sold on the same markets.

Tke Caterpillar always kas teen a good Lill-clxmter 

 — that's one reason wky Holt tuilds two-tLirds of all 

 tractors on tke Pacific Coast. But we wanted a tractor 

 tkat would climb any kill witk iviy load. So tkis year 

 we can give you a low speed (L36 miles per kour) in 

 addition to tke normal speed (2.04 miles per kour). ^Ve 

 figure now tkat it is going to take a good-sized mountain 

 to stump tke Caterpillar — no matter kow kig a karvester 

 or gang of plows it is kauling. One owner writes tkat ke 

 nauled a 26-ft. cut Holt Harvester on a 48 per cent, 

 grade, doing over 40 acres to tke day. 



It IS constant improvements like tkis tkat are always 

 keeping tke Caterpillar so far in tke lead — and tkat 

 account for tke numerous repeat orders tkat come in. 

 Tkere are otker 1915 betterments, too — strengtkening tke
