RIO GRANDE VALLEY HAS
ITS MARKETING TROUBLES
The Lower Rio Grande Valley is
building a name for itself in some of
the market centers of the United
States on some products, but the main
handicap which it has in the larger
markets now is the slip-shod way in
which the produce is packed and
shipped.
This was the statement at San
Benito of G. L. Crawford, research
marketing specialist of the Texas A.
& M. College, who has just completed
a study of the marketing of Valley
products.
Crawford arrived in the Valley last
Wednesday, and remained the rest of
the week looking over the situation
there. Some time ago he made a
study of the growing and packing of
vegetables in the Valley, and more re-
cently he has made a study of the
marketing end of Valley produce in
the Northern and Eastern markets.
He divulged some interesting figures
in connection with the division of the
return from produce which the con-
sumer pays. A record of one car
showed that of the dollar which the
consumer pays the grower receives
about 10 cents, the carrier about 28
cents, the retailer 35, and the remain-
der is divided between the carlot, and
less-tban-carlot brokers, the brokers
receiving a comparatively small per-
centage in comparison with that of
either the carrier or the retailers.
“I find that the Valley has created
a market for some of its produce
through standardization of pack and
and brand,” he said. He mentioned
in particular potatoes, which have
been shipped out in the main under
the direction of the Potato Growers’
Association. But the tomatoes are
shipped and packed badly, he said,
the carrots are the wrong variety and
are not packed^ right.
The specialist brought out strongly
the Importance of a uniform pack.
The retail merchant wants to
know just how many bunches oT car-
rots he is getting in a crate, and
just how big these bunches are. The
California carrots are more in de-
mand for this reason, as they are
packed five dozen to the crate, while
Valley carrots are crowded into ham-
pers of varying numbers.
Tbe specialist urged the Valley
growers to use more care in selection
of their varieties, saying that the to-
mato and carrot varieties are not the
best. He also urged more judgment
in selection of shipping points, men-
tioning that some green wrap toma-
toes have been shipped to Fort Worth
where they had to be held some time
before ripening, while some June pinks
were shipped as far away as Califor-
nia.

be greeted also by Dr. R. T. Rudd, of
Fulton, Ky., on behalf of the Ken-
tucky and Tennessee Eclectic Medical
Associations, Dr. C. W. Beaman of
Cincinnati, the president, will respond.
The Eclectic school of medicine,
more than any other, is interested in
the return of the general practitioner.
According to Dr. Beaman, most med-
ical schools have been dominated by
the specialist in surgery and its allied
branches, and this, being more spec-
tacular, has interested the student
mere deeply that general medicine.
The wane of the family physician
and the advent of the young special-
ist have robbed medicine of the care-
fully equipped bedside practitioner.
