If the Portland terri- tory consumes this amount of nuts it is safe fo say that the Seattle territory consumes at least an equal amount and that the Spokane district gets away with 30 to 50 per cent of this amount. This territory logically belongs to the Oregon growers. It is certainly worth our cultivation. It will be our chief market, of necessity, until production increases and the growers pool their products so as to be able to take advantage of carlot freight rates. We cannot compete with Cali- fornia and Europe in the Eastern mar- kets until we can ship in carlots. Even then we should confine our selling to the local markets until they are con- suming Oregon nuts to their full capac- ity. Selling in distant markets means increased freight rates, increased ad- vertising costs and increased selling costs. However, the fact that this is our logical market will not bring the mar- ket to us without effort on our part. The market must be intelligently de- veloped. The jobbers are in the habit of buying from California or from brokers who handle imported stuff. It will take time and effort to break these habits.
