Need of Organization j& By a Local Fruit Grower Any one coming Into conlnct with strangers on their nrrlvnl In Medford nre invariably nsked, "Have you no or ganization for soiling your fruit." At the present tlino the best wo can do Is to hope for one In the near future. A strong organization for packing nnd selling would bo the biggest ml this val ley has ever lind, nnd by Its obtaining better prices for our fruit do moro to enhance values than any other one thing, Under present conditions wo uro recelvlng.'Tiot what our fruit Is worth nor what It sells for, less the commis sion charges, but what the commission men see fit to remit to us. Wn have all the work, risk, worry and hand the greater part of our profits over to men who have been proved to be ltye most uocomprbmlslng set of pirates. In ' the business world. I am in receipt of a letter from: NuW, Tent to tnis STTsot. a car qrapies are sold at auction and bid in nt u rliltoulously low flgitrr, ty ,n cjarornv huyer r)iresfntlng the , oamwtssliiti house to whom tho cur Iiiim been con signed, tt having been previously nr rnnged thut there Is to be no competi tive bidding.

This explains the reason way upples are now selling at good prices In the east and la London and the g livers receiving barely the cost of raising the same, Tho growers deserve all they are getting in this deal, for the power Is all lu their own hands ninj means simply organ ization, a ; The first stfp .nkturoNy would b to organize the lock nsnoola lions.

This lust association would lmvn tho control of tho selling of tha entire output of fruit In tho northwest through district managers located at Chicago, iNew York and some convenient south ern city. These district managers might havo state malingers under their supervision and If necessary local agents In all the large cities In each state With such nn organization we would follow tha fruit to the retailer with a largo profit accruing to the grower anil the complete elimination of the men .who have picked the pock ets of the fruitgrowers for yesra ' o havo subsidized newspapers to print false rnportsCfrult'crops,' sod In fact uro now completely dominating the fruit buslitoss of this country.

An organiza tion along these lines would control the prices of apples In tho United States. It could also arrange for prccoollng stations, for, having representatives of their own at all tho loins plants to sco that tho cars were properly Iced, and the entire cost of all this supervision would not amount to one cent per box, while It would mean from SO cents to ft per box in addition to the profit now nl'owed us by the commission men.
