Show Cache County Fruit Growers Hold Election Wm. R. Zollinger, of Providence, was elected chairman of a Cache County fruit growers organization Tuesday evening, Reuben Hansen, assistant county agent, announces. Other committeemen named are Francis Nelson, North Logan, Ir-vin Ir-vin S. Sorensen, Hyrum, A. L. Baer, Providence, and Heber Ol-sen, Ol-sen, River Heights. The fruit growers discussed the varieties that can be grown in this region best for production and for freezing and shipping. Certain varieties that have been developed are better than the berries that we are growing, in1 the opinion of the growers, and producers should know what these varieties are and shift to them as rapidly as possible, and as the new varieties come into bearing the growers can organize to market mar-ket them. Handling of the strawberry crop this year was also considered by the group and they will make efforts to cooperate with the local lo-cal merchants to bring about the best distribution and price for the product and a quality berry for the consumer. They discussed to some length the matter of peddling peddl-ing berries to homes which was condemned as a practice that is detrimental to the interest of the producer. |
