TO ORGANIZE FARMER'S 1'RUT
SELLING AGEXCY
Portland, Ore., June 16, (Speci
al) On Saturday, June 20, repre
sentatives of fruit grower associa
tions at Forest Grove, Dllley, Cor
vallis, Eugene, Sutherlin, Yoncalla,
Cottage Grove, Dallas, Salem,
Brownsville, Independence, Gresham,

pose of organizing a sub-central
branch of the North Pacific Fruit
Distributors, will elect one member
of the board xf managers for the
Spokane show and will complete the
details of a campaign for marketing
the 1914 crop of fruit in Western
Oregon.
Mr. H. C. Sampson, secretary ol
the N. P. F. D., who is directing this
movement, said: "Briefly stated, the
distributor in this case will be the
farmer himself in the selling game,
it is purely co-operative. The organ
ization will sell on a commission of
10 cents per box, which is sufficient
to pay the expenses of salaried agents
in all parts of the world and of 67
special representatives. Through
these agents we distribute the fruit
to all parts of the world, keeping
m arkets fully supplied but never
overloaded."

in livestock prizes by the authorities
of the exposition.
Business men of John Day are or
ganizing in an effort to secure new
enterprises in that valley. Accord
ing to a statement issued by them,
there are exceptional opportunities
for a roller flour mill and for an up-to-date
creamery. They say that all
flour raised in Grant County has to
be hauled in from distant outside
points while grain of all kinds is
shipped out of the valley, and that
in John Day and Bear valleys a large
amount of milk is produced, a large
part of which is hauled 40 miles to
Prairie City, the nearest creamery.
Business men and property owners
are ready to lend all possible assis
tance to the establishment of these
industries.
Work has been commenced in the
preparation of a 400-acre tract of
land one mile from Hermlston for
the purpose of Beedlng the entire
acreago to alfalfa. The owner of thf
tract expects the venture to be lm
mensly successful, as he has boon
producing alfalfa In that vicinity for
a number of years.

la Project Is Infertile and nonpro
ductive, the Oregon Conservation
Commission has had a representative

chase of stock and the notes are
